Long Personality Test

Found here.

I wondered about posting this -- maybe TMI. Nothing too surprising -- except the way that this test measures extroversion places me as an extrovert -- whereas I believe I ride the line between introvert/extrovert. This test doesn't seem to measure for need for time alone -- of which I have a large share. And I am more cautious that I believe, perhaps as a result of working in the ministry. I already knew I was totally unorganized. And I need work on the "neurotic" aspect of my personality -- the ways with which I cope with stress and emotional overload probably need work.

This report estimates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-Factor Model. The description of each one of the five broad domains is followed by a more detailed description of personality according to the six subdomains that comprise each domain.


Extraversion
EXTRAVERSION.............95
Friendliness...............85
Gregariousness..........93
Assertiveness.............87
Activity Level..….........67
Excitement-Seeking...95
Cheerfulness..............71
Your score on Extraversion is high, indicating you are sociable, outgoing, energetic, and lively. You prefer to be around people much of the time.

Agreeableness..........55
Trust.....................89
Morality.................46
Altruism................80
Cooperation..........47
Modesty................12
Sympathy..............37

Your level of Agreeableness is average, indicating some concern with others' Needs, but, generally, unwillingness to sacrifice yourself for others. The modesty thing really is not surprising -- I am understanding that there is humility and false humility. Knowing what you do well and what you do not do well is not immodest -- and can be the definition of true humility. It can be perceived as arrogance if you are not sensitive to the other person's feelings and do it in a way that degrades them as a person. I wonder if the low sympathy thing is from being burned too often by people at places like the food bank or homeless shelter -- and I distinguish between sympathy and compassion. No room for that distinction here.


Conscientiousness
CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.........35
Self-Efficacy.......................74
Orderliness..........................7
Dutifulness.........................40

Depression...................55
Immoderation...............73

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 these situations.
