This past week I was reminded of a site with personality test. You may remember the Myers-Brigg Test we did back a few months ago. The results are usually somewhat believable.
Well Today we will do the Big 5 test. It claims to be the most respected personality test given these days. And I must say, I think it is good becuase it does not over analyse things. Just gives you percentages. My results:
| Big Five Test Results |
| Extroversion (70%) high which suggests you are very talkative, optimistic, sociable and affectionate but possibly not very internally grounded. Friendliness (64%) moderately high which suggests you are good natured, trusting, and helpful but possibly too agreeable Orderliness (62%) moderately high which suggests you are organized, reliable, neat, and ambitious but possibly not very spontaneous and fun. Emotional Stability (66%) moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, unemotional but possibly too unobservant of your feelings. Openmindedness (70%) high which suggests you are very intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical. |
It concluded I was mostly Openminded (Creative) and Frindly and least Organized. Well that statement in itself really describes me.
Hmm not to far off I guesss... interesting indeed. Take the test yourself. It is the big 5 short test (click the link for the test above). Then copy and paste your results (the html code presented on the answer page) in the comments section. Remember choose one side of the scale or the other... the more middle of the road selections you make the less accurate the test is.

Yes Jerm, that is Kevin in a nutshell. Stand up lad, 'e is. As for my test results...well...I took the thing twice, once in the morning and once at night, and lets just say that both times I bottomed out the charts and made Kevin look like a saint.
If the the tests findings were equatted to job opportunities, I think my options would have teetered between Hired Assassin or Catholic Priest.
Either that or Charles Bukowski.
Sigh.
I am Jack's smirking sense of revenge.

If you mean by answering most definitely agree to the "are you messy?" question, and then the poll telling me I was neat, but not spontaneous or fun (which kind of hurt a little and is completely unrelated to the neat/messy category). Yes, then I would agree it was contradictory.
Posted by: Jeremy at September 10, 2004 01:28 PMI was happy it said I was neat and orderly (hahahha) yeah right. I'm a planer, but not neat and orderly.. and not spontaneous... we could take a vote.
Posted by: itzjerm at September 10, 2004 01:46 PMI thought for sure I'd fail in that area, but then I remembered how I am at work, and it hit me. . .I'm not planned or neat in my personal life, but I'm almost OCD at work. Little things being out of place drive me crazy, so much so that I just go around work cleaning and straightening for no apparent reason.
