ipip-neo personality test

I did this nearly two weeks ago, but couldn't actually work out how to cull it down for posting, since it's a big beastie... so I'm going to give a big shout out to Tom for posting his results, which gave me an idea of how to set at least part of it out... but for a change I didn't actually steal the quiz from him, but from My Slant... I think it was during some of the blogroll foraging I've been doing the last few weeks.

Anyway... here's the preamble...

This report compares yaniboy from the country Australia to other adult men.

This report estimates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-Factor Model. The description of each one of the five broad domains is followed by a more detailed description of personality according to the six subdomains that comprise each domain.

A note on terminology. Personality traits describe, relative to other people, the frequency or intensity of a person's feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. Possession of a trait is therefore a matter of degree. We might describe two individuals as extraverts, but still see one as more extraverted than the other. This report uses expressions such as "extravert" or "high in extraversion" to describe someone who is likely to be seen by others as relatively extraverted. The computer program that generates this report classifies you as low, average, or high in a trait according to whether your score is approximately in the lowest 30%, middle 40%, or highest 30% of scores obtained by people of your sex and roughly your age. Your numerical scores are reported and graphed as percentile estimates. For example, a score of "60" means that your level on that trait is estimated to be higher than 60% of persons of your sex and age.

Please keep in mind that "low," "average," and "high" scores on a personality test are neither absolutely good nor bad. A particular level on any trait will probably be neutral or irrelevant for a great many activites, be helpful for accomplishing some things, and detrimental for accomplishing other things. As with any personality inventory, scores and descriptions can only approximate an individual's actual personality. High and low score descriptions are usually accurate, but average scores close to the low or high boundaries might misclassify you as only average. On each set of six subdomain scales it is somewhat uncommon but certainly possible to score high in some of the subdomains and low in the others. In such cases more attention should be paid to the subdomain scores than to the broad domain score. Questions about the accuracy of your results are best resolved by showing your report to people who know you well.

Yeah, yeah... low scores don't mean you suck... we get it...

Extraversion - 13%

Your score on Extraversion is low, indicating you are introverted, reserved, and quiet. You enjoy solitude and solitary activities. Your socializing tends to be restricted to a few close friends.

Agreeableness - 0%

Your score on Agreeableness is low, indicating less concern with others' needs than with your own. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising.

Conscientiousness - 13%

Your score on Conscientiousness is low, indicating you like to live for the moment and do what feels good now. Your work tends to be careless and disorganized.

Neuroticism - 99%

Your score on Neuroticism is high, indicating that you are easily upset, even by what most people consider the normal demands of living. People consider you to be sensitive and emotional.

Openness to Experience - 60%

Your score on Openness to Experience is average, indicating you enjoy tradition but are willing to try new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual.

Honestly, I'm not sure how happy I am with the way this whole thing came out... I think it's partly because I've been sitting in this dumb house on my own for so long going slowly insane (insaner... which isn't a word, I realise) and not really dealing with people...

Sadly, I don't know that any of it is necessarily wrong per say... well, except maybe the disorganised thing around work... careless maybe, but I can be very very organised...

I'm not sure if I'll post the rest of the sections... I might, but maybe later...
