Personality Test
I found this Personality Test over at Tiggerlambgirl a while back and as anyone who is a regular visitor knows I cannot resist taking a test. After all tests were my favourite thing at school, I don't think!
So.........
The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are my results on each dimension:
| Big Five Test Results |
| Extroversion (28%) low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private. Accommodation (70%) high which suggests you are overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development (martyr complex). Orderliness (60%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun. Emotional Stability (40%) moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious. Inquisitiveness (36%) moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly small minded, traditional, and conventional at the expense of intellectual curiousity, possibility, and progress. |

I went on a management course at work not long before I retired where we had to do some of these type exercises to find out our management style (and,of course, the purpose of the exercise was for us to make improvements!!) I have to say the results were quite interesting and reasonably accurate. I think there could be a lot of truth in the above test results as well. However I might just challenge the last one~ traditional and conventional I might be, but small-minded, as the dictionary describes....
"mean-spirited, uncharitable; close-minded, shortsighted, myopic, blinkered, inward-looking, unimaginative, parochial, provincial, insular, small-town; intolerant, illiberal, conservative, hidebound, dyed-in-the-wool, set in one's ways, inflexible; prejudiced, bigoted".......
is surely not me...or do others see me differently!!! Feel free to comment truthfully!! Oh and if you haven't done this one give it a go!

I have exactly the same scores as you in extroversion and accommodation but my other scores are somewhat different -- higher.
AC What is they say about seeking out like minded people!!
Being small-minded does not seem to fit with "overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development."
I see you as kind-spirited and open-minded.
Kind of a fun test, although I'd have to say from just reading your blog that some of your results (small-minded, for example) don't seem accurate. I was trained in these kinds of tests when I was a counselor and my faith in them is slim. Hard to imagine confining the whole of human variety and experience into just a few "types."
I'm afraid to take the test!
(Think I'll go to see Bon Jovi btw!)
I've only met you once, but I'm pretty sure small minded couldn't be used to describe you. I found you to be quite open minded:)!
yes you are traditional and conventional BUT not at all small-minded. I don't understand where that equation comes from.
But, don't get me started on "progressive thought." Idiot Savants, some of them.
