(21,925 posts)With that long 6'6" frame, those long legs, and that smooth long stride you don't realize how fast he is until he leaves you in the dust. With his 4.38 time in the 40, he's the fastest QB in the pros, faster than Michael Vick.

(41,831 posts)I can't think of a Raiders QB who has been more exciting in the last several years.

(72,300 posts)On the long test:
Your Results
Closed-Minded ... Open to New Experiences
Disorganized ... Conscientious
Introverted ... Extraverted
Disagreeable ... Agreeable
Calm / Relaxed ... Nervous / High-Strung
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: 95)
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: 97)
Extraversion
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
You are relatively social and enjoy the company of others. (Your percentile: 70)
Agreeableness
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
You are good-natured, courteous, and supportive. (Your percentile: 83)
Neuroticism
High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
You probably remain calm, even in tense situations. (Your percentile: 5)
What do the scores tell me?
In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received have been converted to "percentile scores." This means that your personality score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken this personality test.
The percentile scores show you where you score on the five personality dimensions relative to the comparison sample of other people who have taken this test on-line. In other words, your percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score less than you on each dimension. For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 70, which means that about 70 percent of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are rather extroverted. Keep in mind that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus, your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g., elderly British people).

lol, it IS beautiful, the weather is amazing. I'm not sure I could live outside of the South to be honest, I'm so used to it. There really is such a thing as Southern Hospitality, outside of politics? people really are kinda nice here. Still, I was hoping it'd say "You belong in New York!" or "California!".
