Personality Impression Study

I'm not sure how accurate these results are, but they're funny nonetheless. The proctor seemed really interested in talking to me while I was taking the test, but he probably was not so into me after reading the results. Keep in mind that a 50% indicates average, while a 0 means that pretty much everyone else is more ____ than you.

Here's the different areas of personality:

"Extroversion: 36


Friendliness: 59
Gregariousness: 6
Assertiveness: 37
Activity Level: 90
Excitement-Seeking: 14
Cheerfulness:50

Your score on Extraversion is average, indicating you are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone."

That wasn't so bad, right? It tells me that I like activities, but not ones that involve excitement or making friends. I feel reassured when they tell me that I'm not a jovial chatterbox.


"Agreeableness: 0

Trust: 76
Morality: 3
Altruism: 25
Cooperation: 4
Modesty: 0
Sympathy: 0

Your score on Agreeableness is low, indicating less concern with others' needs than with your own. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising."

Oh, no! This isn't good news at all! How did I get a zero! I feel like this is a cause for concern. I don't even remember any questions that had to do with sympathy, but obviously I did not answer them correctly. Test Proctor is definitely not going to be impressed anymore. How could I get a 25 for altruism but a 0 for sympathy? A 3 for morality! Wow!


"Conscientiousness: 73

Self-Efficacy: 97
Orderliness: 6
Dutifulness: 31
Achievement-Striving: 89
Self-Discipline: 91
Cautiousness: 88

Your score on Conscientiousness is high. This means that you set clear goals and pursue them with determinations. People regard you as reliable and hard-working."

Well, that's a little better, right? Right?

"Neuroticism: 43

Anxiety: 43
Anger: 83
Depression: 3
Self-consciousness: 66
Immoderation: 80
Vulnerability: 43

Your score on Neuroticism is average, indicating that your level of emotional reactivity is typical of the general population. Stressful and frustrating situations are somewhat upsetting to you, but you are generally able to get over these feelings and cope with them."

I like knowing that I'm not a complete neurotic case. However, I have some issues here, angry ones! Hah, just kidding. I really don't think I warranted an 83; perhaps on some of the questions I substituted 'cranky' for 'angry'. At least my depression levels are low. I think the Immoderation one is straight on because if I want sweet stuff, then I HAVE to have it. No other options.

"Openness to Experience: 77

Imagination: 64
Artistic Interests: 71
Emotionality: 10
Adventurousness: 61
Intellect: 84
Liberalism: 92

Your score on Openness to Experience is high, indicating you enjoy novelty, variety, and change. You are curious, imaginative, and creative."

Woo hoo! End on a good note! Well, except for my lack of emotionality. I think they're going to forward my results to the FBI to put me on their watch list for sociopaths. Here is the description for the Liberalism catagory:

Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright hostility towards rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love ambiguity, chaos, and disorder. Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition. Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not identical to political affiliation, but certainly incline individuals toward certain political parties. Your level of liberalism is high.


I had no idea I was such a little hellion. I don't really think it's accurate, because chaos irritates me to no end. Anyway, the test took about an hour and was pretty fun especially since I had to concentrate while that dude was asking me stuff. I'd do it again!
