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!
