Personality Test
Okay… so I was bored one day, and probably lost in life, coz no way in hell was I going to pay for a personality test. As by instinct, I followed my curiosity and the feedbacks and results were certainly a 95%+, definitely worth the $40 odd dollars for the whole set. Anyway, for those of you who want to know who I really am… and if you have the time to do so, (or if you wana get to know me better) this feedback (note: I didn’t write this myself, a personality test which I paid for generated this) states it best about me more than I can ever tell you :)
Your Five Personality Factors
Extroversion
Where is your energy naturally directed? Extroverts’ energy is directed
primarily outward, towards people and things outside of themselves.
Introverts’ energy is directed primarily inward, towards thoughts,
perceptions, and reactions.
30
Extrovert:
Energy comes
from other people
Introvert:
Energy comes
from self
Your Result
• Your score of 30 classifies you as ‘moderate with tendency towards
low’ in extroversion.
Your Feedback
• Your mix between the traits of introversion and extroversion
creates an interesting situation: extroverts tend to be more naturally
active, expressive, social, and interested in many things,
whereas introverts tend to be more reserved, reflective, private,
and interested in fewer interactions, but with greater depth and
focus. You manifest both tendencies and often waiver between
the two, often for weeks at a time. This makes you interesting
and unpredictable to many people.
• While you do have a social side, being around large groups of
people tends to reduce your energy reserves over time. You recover
energy best by spending some time alone, by having space
11
either physically or mentally. Many people are afraid of silence
and of self-reflection. You are not.
• You are observant and perceptive, viewing the world with a
quiet understanding. Being so intensively observant of one’s self
and of others is often an automatic response - you do it without
effort or intention. Your sensitivity to many stimuli, then, makes
it that you need / prefer to limit your interactions, especially social.
You are likely to have a select, small number of friends that
you know well, rather than a large amount of acquaintances that
you know only superficially.
12
Emotionality
Emotionality refers to the sensitivity of the emotional response: the
number and strength of stimuli required to elicit emotions in a person.
People who measure high in the trait of emotionality tend to be more
sensitive to stimuli than those who measure low.
95
Calm Excitable
Your Result
• Your score of 95 classifies you as high in emotionality.
Your Feedback
• You are very aware of and reactive to stimuli. It is a unique asset
that you are so connected with the surrounding environment and
social context. Many people have become numb to their emotions.
You are not.
• Because of your reactivity to stimuli, you may find it easy to
have your feelings affected, experience distress, or take things
personally. When you feel good, you feel really good. However,
when you feel discontented, you feel really discontented.
• In negative situations, remember the following quote: The situation
is never either good nor bad, it is only thinking that makes
it so. Cognitive theorists believe that we can change our emotional
experiences by simply changing the way we appraise the situation,
our thinking about the nature and cause of events.
13
Thoroughness
Thoroughness refers to task-focus. A person who is high in thoroughness
tends to focus on one task at a time, exhibiting the self-discipline
associated with such a focus. A person low in thoroughness tends to
pursue a larger number of tasks at one time, exhibiting the distractibility
associated with diffuse focus.
94
Focus on one
thing at a time
Focus on many
things at once
Your Result
• Your score of 94 classifies you as high in thoroughness.
Your Feedback
• You take your commitments seriously, are self-sufficient, and
reliable. You are easily motivated; when you establish a particular
area of interest you are persistent toward each goal. You feel
pride in being capable and effective. You like to get things done.
• You are a person of your word. When you say you will do
something, you do it. You appreciate when others do the same.
• Organizational skills come naturally to you. Disorganized situations
strike you as chaotic; you are uncomfortable when you
have to function without a schedule or clear plan. You work best
when the purpose of a situation is understood by you. You
therefore tend to automatically organize such topics in your mind.
• You like to do things one step at a time. You hate leaving things
linger.
• Research shows that people who score high in thoroughness
make the best employees, managers, executives. They are more
14
likely to become leaders, gain status, get promoted, earn higher
salaries, feel a greater sense of commitment to their tasks.
• When commitment turns extreme, it can result in work-aholism.
If you are not a workaholic, it must be that you are selective in
the projects you undertake, or it must be that you excel in time
management. Value these skills.
15
Openness
Openness refers to one’s orientation toward novelty. A person who
scores high in Openness is fascinated with what is new and innovative.
A person who scores low in Openness is fascinated with what is established
and perseverant.

you understand that people are responsible for their own happiness.

and that it is not possible to please everyone.

you. Relating and connecting with others is important
to you. You are good-natured, caring, and optimistic. You have
17

tactfully.
