So, I always am interested in personality analysis and the quirks of how people work, a fascination I know at least a few of you share. Gretchen at The Happiness Project provided a link to this personality survey. Here's what I came out with at the end of the very short survey:
_______________________________________________________
The first dimension is Extroversion. People with a relatively low score in this dimension could be considered aloof and quiet. Relatively high scorers are outgoing and enthusiastic, often termed 'Wanderers' by personality experts.
Your score was: Relatively Low
The second dimension is Neuroticism. The lower your score the more emotionally stable you will be. High scorers are prone to stress and will be categorised as 'Worriers'.
Your score was: Medium Low
The third dimension is Conscientiousness. Relatively high scorers will be organised, but can also be quite rigid and inflexible. They will often be seen as 'Controllers'; on the other hand a relatively low score can indicate that although spontaneous you can be careless.
Your score was: Relatively Low
The fourth dimension is Agreeableness. Relatively high scorers are trusting and would be classified as 'Empathizers', very people focused and sociable. Having a relatively low score indicates that you are not at all focussed on other people.
Your score was: Relatively High
The fifth dimension is Openness. High scorers in this dimensions are usually imaginative and eccentric, open to different experiences. They are often termed the 'Poets' by personality experts. Relatively low scorers are practical and grounded and can be relied upon. However they can be closed to new experiences.
Your score was: Relatively High
_______________________________________________________
Doesn't it seem strange for one person to be on complete opposite ends of the spectrum for Extroversion and Agreeableness, at least the way it's defined here?
So... how about you?

As long as we can agree that there is no moral quality assessed to our "personality"...as in it takes all kinds of people to make up this world...I will share.
Extroversion--Medium High
Neuroticism--Medium Low
Conscientiousness--Medium Low
Agreeableness--Medium Low
Openness--Relatively Low
I don't think that this is a perfect assessment, but interesting...can someone know me in 12 questions? Something to ponder...
I do know that at times I have found that I don't have an accurate picture of myself (ie. tone of voice), so sometimes these objective views can be insightful.
Enough therapy for one day...sorry.

Here are my scores (in order):
Medium Low
Relatively High
Medium High

Very interesting...
I thought it was an interesting way of breaking down personality, too, although I wonder if the book associated with the survey would have more questions. I hope so.
Are either of you surprised by the results?
Mine were almost identical to Mitch's with the variation of "relatively" to "medium" in two categories. Birth order, perhaps?
I couldn't answer the questions! For every one, I was thinking "Well, it depends on the situation? How well do I know the person I'm insulting?" etc. I think I wound up with Relatively Low in everything!
You know, that's true! I wouldn't insult someone I know, but I feel less reserved when it comes to certain U.S. presidents....
