Personality Tests
ok, so I went on the net and took some personality tests. *buggie started me with some other fun test* What I find, here it is, the results. Actually first test I don't have, should've copied that one. *at http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv* Was about personality disorders. I scored VERY high on borderline, aviodant and depresant. Other one is more a general personality test. Those results are here.

WHAT ASPECTS OF PERSONALITY DOES THIS TELL ME ABOUT?
There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.
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 prefer traditional and familiar experiences. (Your percentile: 10)
Your other person prefers traditional and familiar experiences. (Your other person's percentile: 4)

Conscientiousness

High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly. (Your percentile: 38)
Your other person probably has a messy desk! (Your other person's percentile: 17)

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: 5)
Your other person is relatively social and enjoy the company of others. (Your other person's percentile: 69)

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: 64)
Your other person finds it easy to criticize others. (Your other person's percentile: 2)

Neuroticism

High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy.
You tend to become anxious or nervous. (Your percentile: 76)
Your other person isn't particularly nervous, nor calm. (Your other person's percentile: 59)


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.

HOW DO I INTERPRET PERCENTILE SCORES?
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 5, which means that about 5% of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are strongly introverted. 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).
