Personality Test- your strengths and weaknesses?
...among the 5 major areas of personality (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and intellect/openness).
A little on the long side (okay I'm bored).
http://ivos.ivillage.com/assessment/exec/personality/start

Here's me:

Strongest characteristic: Intellect/Openness

Weakest characteristic: Conscientiousness

9. Yes, me too.
But the thing is, I'm cranky and love to be left alone.

But the other thing is, I am eager to agree with you, and try to establish conversation on an on-line forum. Maybe they're right.

17. Try this one then, guys:
http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/
More in depth and complex (mine were different too). Darn the HTML code didn't link it though, so I had to cut and paste.
Yawn! Off to night night land. :) :boring: It's late here.

Me:

Openness to Experience/Intellect
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative. You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways. (Your percentile: 80)

Conscientiousness
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You are very well-organized, and can be relied upon. (Your percentile: 86)

Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. You are neither particularly social or reserved. (Your percentile: 42)

Agreeableness
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
You tend to consider the feelings of others. (Your percentile: 74)

Neuroticism
High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy. You are generally relaxed. (Your percentile: 37)

23. First question already giving me a problem:
"I see myself (or other person) as someone who...

1. ...Is talkative"

Agree or disagree? Well, in some situatiosn I'm a real extrovert and in some a real introvert. I tend toward introversion but, especially when I'm 'performing' in some way or have a lot in common with someone (or otherwise just 'click' with them) I can be hard to shut up and all the rest of it.

Always hate that these kinds of questions don't have something like "Yes AND No, and all points between, depending upon context"

26. I'm the same way on the whole introversion thing
I can speak in public or get quite chatty with someone I 'click' with one on one, but walk into a party and be the life of it (or even feel halfway comfortable really) isn't happening for me in this lifetime.

Hey, at least you're not neurotic. :D

25. This was fun...
Though I think I'm more organized that they give me credit for. I'm generally organized, but I'm also easliy distracted at times, so it's easy for me to become disorganized if I let myself. :P Perhaps I misinterpreted the weight of the answers.

You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways. (Your percentile: 93)

You are neither organized or disorganized. (Your percentile: 58)

Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone. (Your percentile: 15)

Agreeableness
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
You are neither extremely forgiving nor irritable. (Your percentile: 50)

31. Despite thinking of extra options for some of the questions that would
have been more accurate, I say these results are still 50% accurate. For questions I felt I couldn't best answer, I chose the option that, theoretically, made the most sense if I were to be so uncharacteristic...

#15 for example, I loathe social events. It harks back to not knowing what to say or do and feeling miserable because I don't fit in, what else is new? :shrug:

#16 is impossible for me, I am not the type to create conversation. I even have to struggle to continue a conversation. (half the time I want to be a hermit, the other half the time I want to be... normal.)

#19 I wish they'd call... But I know they've told other acquaintances more than they've told me. Even though I'm open and gay, they don't trust me as much as a real female.

#23 was easy ("war, deatj, only the big stuff. I hope that includes "job loss". :-) )

My score?


Biggest strength: Emotional Stability

Biggest weakness: Conscientiousness


Somebody please shoot me. I'm as emotionally stable as a paranoid skunk on LSD, and I try my best to listen to others' and remember. (My mind is so messed up in terms of memorizing details and to maintain a coherent, logical thought pattern, it's a miracle I can keep a job... :cry: )

That's about 0% accurate.

Weakest characteristic: conscientiousness.
Well.. yes. That's 100% accurate.

So the average is 50% accurate.

I was hoping for Intellect/Openness as the strong point, oh well. But i'm afraid they hit the weakness right on the money.
