I must have taken a different version of the test (I did the Twins one) from Tam because my score sheet varied a lot from hers. But this is what they told me:
Openness to experience/intellect = 68th percentile (Tam: 59th)
**You typically don't seek out new experiences.
Conscientiousness = 83rd percentile (Tam: 2nd - hah!)
**You are very well-organized, and can be relied upon.
Extraversion = 38th percentile (Tam: 53rd)
**You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone.
Agreeableness = 44th percentile (Tam: 69th)
**You find it easy to criticize others. [Indeed, it is one of my favorite pasttimes.]
Neuroticism = 91st percentile (!) (Tam: 32nd, the happy-go-lucky duck)
**You are a generally anxious person and tend to worry about things.
They also provided this additional information - The following statements tend to describe people like you:
**Be emotionally expressive at times with mood changes which were occasionally unpredictable
**Occasionally lack clarity about self, sporadically experience feelings of boredom and have goals that change occasionally altering their future plans
**Experience a moderate amount of discomfort when alone and have some difficulty coping when separated from someone they were close, at times, fearing rejection
**Rarely experience things they feel are strange, clearly see themselves and their surroundings, and experience little difficulty thinking when under stress [So, neurotic but not psychotic?]

ReplyDeleteI got 35/17/0/64/41. Not very extroverted. I knew that. Sally and I were more similar than 64% of pairs, that is, not especially similar or dissimilar. I don't suppose anyone will be surprised that I am somewhat less neurotic than she is, also. Oh yeah, "And a lot less conscientious," as Sally states with a firm(critical?) voice while reading over my shoulder.
I didn't take the twins version because you have to register. But I am O65-C69-E18-A32-N43.
ReplyDelete"You are relatively open to new experiences. You are well-organized, and are reliable. You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. You find it easy to express irritation with others. You aren't particularly nervous, nor calm."
Yeah, pretty much.
I suck! ;)

My scores are O7-C97-E37-A79-N76, which means
ReplyDeleteI prefer traditional and familiar experiences.
I am very well-organized, and can be relied upon.
I tend to shy away from social situations.
I tend to consider the feelings of others.
I tend to become anxious or nervous.
None of this surprises me.
Rick & Mom - I could start a "Neurotic Support Group" for us, but that would probably be a social situation we would all shy away from ;)
ReplyDeleteJen - maybe it's good you aren't very talkative, so most of the expression of irritation perhaps happens in subtle body language that annoying people like me don't notice.
Rvman & Jen - More evidence that you are two are not, in fact, the same person.
