All about me

Finding myself with a few minutes to spare tonight, I happened to chance upon one of those online personality test things. Usually they’re utter crap, but as I wasn’t doing particularly much else, and the results of the US elections haven’t started coming in yet, I thought, “What the hell!”

This is what it said about me…

Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You’re not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your “down time”. Conscientiousness: You have high conscientiousness. Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life. Most things in your life are organized and planned well. But you borderline on being a total perfectionist. Agreeableness: You have medium agreeableness. You’re generally a friendly and trusting person. But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism. You get along well with others, as long as they play fair. Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed – making others feel secure. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is high. In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. You’ll try almost anything interesting, and you’re constantly pushing your own limits. A great admirer of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.

I was quite surprised by the result (obviously they’d put some thought into the questions and their interpretation. Generally I’d say most of the analysis is probably just about right, though I’d probably argue that though I’m generally friendly, I wouldn’t say I’m trusting (House is right – everyone lies!), and I definitely have a healthy dose of cynicism, in fact the older I get probably the more cynical I get.

The fact that I’m apparently not neurotic is good to know, and on the “openness to experience score”, yep, that’s just about me.

They’ve got a “what kind of blogger?” test on there as well…I think I know the answer to that one – the type that gets easily distracted and forgets that I’m supposed to write something every day!
