Subject: Personality Test (36)



READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DOING THE "TEST"
Dr. Phil gave this test on Oprah. Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out. Read on, this is very interesting! Here's something that you may find interesting ... psychological profile – don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate, and it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends, including the one who sent it, and let them know who you are.

The person who sent it placed their score in the subject box. Please do the same before forwarding to your friends. Don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now ... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees. It's only 10 simple questions, so ... grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers. Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read your total. When you finished, forward this to everyone you know, and also send it to the person who sent this to you. Make sure to put your score in the subject box.

OVER 60 POINTS:

Others see you as someone they should "handle with care". You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you. <O:p></O:p>

51 TO 60 POINTS: <O:p

Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate. <O:p

41 TO 50 POINTS: <O:p

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out. <O:p

31 TO 40 POINTS: <O:p

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.
<O:p

21 TO 30 POINTS: <O:p

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature. <O:p></O:p>

UNDER 21 POINTS: <O:p

People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

G'day,

I got 45.

Have you tried the online IQ test?
http://web.tickle.com/tests/uiq/
I got 135 on that one & my Intellectual Type is Precision Processor.
(prob'ly 'cos they didn't have a type called F'n Smart A'se Nit Picker)
It takes much longer, about 40 questions, & requires lots of thinking.

Watch out, they want money for the full results.

"Ben, your Super IQ score is 120

The way you think about things makes you a Conceptual Synthesizer. This means you easily grasp underlying concepts when learning something new. You're also able to see complex relationships between ideas that are not always apparent to other people. You're very focused in your approach to life and are not easily distracted.

Only 6 out of 1,000 people have this rare combination of abilities"

Did your have the last line?

Make way, make way, big-head coming through. :D

Another 38. And to think if I liked black, red or yellow I could have been a 40+.

39 - this is bullsh*t. it reminds me of an old monty python sketch : "'ow can a watery tart handing out swords be used as a basis of government ? real executive power is the product of a clear mandate of a poll of the masses"

or some such nonsense - of course the parrallel i try to draw here is how can a simple questionaire askng such banal questions formulate the basis of personality??? isnt personality "how you behave" not "how others see you". it reminds me of IQ tests that assume you are a western male who has completed yr 10 mathematics. :mad:

As a matter of fact, personality tests can be quite accurate, providing that the person doing them understands the questions. The theory is that there are a number of types of behaviour that are common to everyone and if you can identify these and ask questions that will polarise the people who respond in the positive or negative extreme then you can 'type' a person's personality with relatively few questions. We're talking a hundred or so, not ten.

I have done a lot of work on one of these and believe me when I say that most people are astounded by how accurate it is. It is in various languages now and so the possible errors introduced by the person not speaking english as a first language are being eliminated.

I used to think it was BS too until I started work on this one.

general bastardisation of the above post... questions ... We're talking a hundred or so, not ten. I recently underwent a professional one of these things - 210 statements/questions (2 hours), four choices in each in which you must pick one answer that 'is most like you' and one answer that 'is most unlike you'. Once you select your answers they disappear, so you can't see what you previously chose and it's weird when the same options that you previously selected start appearing with other choices (does that make any sense?).

The four statements in any one frame were like:

I find people are often difficult to trust,
I like to help others,
I work well alone,
I always play within the rules.
Having a terrible distrust for others and a morbid love of breaking rules, I'm sure the results will be good :D

22nd July 2004, 09:19 PM
Ours has a pair of statements that are polar opposites, although it's not always obvious. You select a score that indicates which statement you lean towards. The same concepts come up several times in different questions and the reason for that is to make sure you're not trying to answer the way you think they want you to.

Some people have trouble choosing between the two statements and they complain about it saying that they sometimes do this, sometimes do that. The point is that the fact they had trouble choosing one means that they don't really lean one way or the other. That puts them in the average group for that 'personality trait' and therefore it doesn't play a part in their personality. They choose a response in the middle and we basically ignore it.

Despite the wanky overtones, it's actually quite interesting...

The interesting thing is Zed this not how others see you but how you see yourself appearing to others.

I am quite surprised how many replies there is to the thread and how people like to see how they appear to others.

After doing it myself I was quite surprised how accurate it is.

I have done a few of these when working for BHP and by using some of these tests they reduced their attrition rates of employees by slotting people into jobs that suited their personality

B....r, may have to do it again :rolleyes:

Your IQ score is 133

Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

:rolleyes:
