Another DEEP thread by me! *blushing*

Why do I always feel like I'm the most complicated, intense one around (here, there, everywhere! :p ).

So... I did another personality type test (I don't know why I'm addicted to these things - they never fail to put me into a tizzy! :p) - and last time I posted about this I didn't get many replies so I'm keeping my expectations low this time! :p (I really hope my sarcastic sense of humor makes it across with the :p s! :p)

So... here is the link to this test: http://similarminds.com/global-adv.html

now here's the annoying "deep" part of my post... this is a summary of my results... and I HATE THEM! I really feel like they are accurate and I HATE it!

--------------------------------------------
Stability results were moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Extraversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.

trait snapshot:

neat freak, organized, worrying, phobic, fears the unknown, irritable, pessimistic, emotionally sensitive, fears chaos, risk averse, fragile, unadventurous, depressed, frequently second guesses self, likes to fit in, does not like to stand out, perfectionist, hard working, does not like to be alone, clingy, dependent, practical, ordinary, cautious, takes precautions, good at saving money, suspicious, heart over mind, busy, altruistic
---------------------------------------------

Can I start this life over? I wanna be different and not all of the above! :( I feel like I actually try really hard to not be, or appear not to be, the above. I FEEL like I'm independent, try to be optimistic, I'm not exactly one who WANTS to fit in (never been one to be with the in crowd - I actually abhor cliques), I'm totally okay with being alone, etc. etc. - but maybe this test is truth that I don't want to face!? :(

Post your results if you take it and want to share! And if you want to comment on my crappy results and thoughts on my dissatisfaction with who I am - which totally shows up in my results! How is that possible!? :(

"I havent met you lost, but I have read posts by you and I think you would be a great person to get to know more personally. You seem like you are caring, have a good heart, are fun and also from your pics, have a great smile ;)...but thats just me, I know I am no internet test but hey, lol."

Hey thanks! I think I fear the things it said "might" be true and that's why it concerned me so... but when I really stop and think about it... because I fear those things I work really hard for them NOT to be apart of who I am... and so I "might" just be the opposite! Does that make sense!?

Anyway... your comments were super kind and I appreciate them! I'm a pretty deep person and so these things concern me and interest me more than most... most people just accept who they are and others can take them or leave them. I can't say I really NEED people to like me but I do really want people to think highly of me (as in that I'm a moral and good person) and with that means I'm concerned with being such and improving who I am the best I can.

Alright enough! Thanks to all who replied (and took the time to do that silly test! :) ).

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

trait snapshot:

messy, disorganized, social, tough, outgoing, rarely worries, self revealing, open, risk taker, likes the unknown, likes large parties, makes friends easily, likes to stand out, likes to make fun of people, reckless, optimistic, positive, strong, does not like to be alone, ambivalent about chaos, abstract, impractical, not good at saving money, fearless, trusting, thrill seeker, not rule conscious, enjoys leadership, strange, loves food, abstract, rarely irritated, anti-authority, attracted to the counter culture

I love tests like these. I think mine was pretty right on actually. Although I will say I do NOT like to make fun of people at all, so that's completely wrong.

Damn! That took the longest time thanks to the same questions just worded a different way to try and catch you out. Here are my results:

Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Extraversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

trait snapshot:

clean, self revealing, open, organized, outgoing, social, enjoys leadership and managing others, dominant, makes friends easily, does not like to be alone, assertive, hard working, finisher, optimistic, positive, likes to stand out, likes large parties, respects authority, practical, high self esteem, perfectionist, dislikes chaos, busy, not familiar with the dark side of life, controlling, high self control, traditional, tough, likes to fit in, conforming, brutally honest, takes precautions

I agree with everything except that I definitely not someone who needs to fit in and conform. I think I must have been answering those questions wrong. I wonder how my responses would have changed if I said I could run for an hour :-p

I definitely agree with another poster that it does depend on how you are feeling on the day. I applied for a job at a radio station and took a pyschological test as part of the application and as part of that, they decided that I had the perfect personality for a salesperson in that I'm direct, forthright, not afraid of confrontation and speaking my mind. However, I'm also very ethical, moral, honest and considerate which I don't think a lot of the successful salespeople at this company were. I lasted three months :-)
