Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care' you’re seen as vain, self-centred, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the centre of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

I got 44.

Interesting, especially to see what it says about you getting 37, Prof - "someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return." - pretty accurate, I think.


I'll have to leave it to others to judge my score.

47 here. Interesting test, Prof.

56 moi?

I got 36.

I'm not surprised, Gnomon.

1. D. Never.
2. F. At the same speed as whomever I'm walking with.
3. E. Adopt the pose of Rodin's "Thinker".
4. E. Any of the above and other poses. Whatever is most comfortable and convenient at the moment, usually reclining.
5. E. A deadpan expression on my face and an encouraging remark.
6. D. Look around for some I don't know to meet.
7. D. Take the time to answer the interruption, carry on with the work in hand.
8. H. Depends on purpose.
9. F. Adjusting the straps of my breathing mask I wear during sleep for my sleep apnea.

Spoilsport.

What does "You often dream that you are no" mean?

B'El, awww... Like Zippy the Pinhead, I'm having fun.

Gnomon, "No" to all the stock answers given under question 10.

I also got 37 points.

I only got 46

Wow! 33 points, it's actually a very accurate part assessment of my personality profile. How interesting, who thinks of these things?

I once did an assessment for autism, specifically asperger's syndrome and scored an impressive 47 out of 50. A product of military discipline and training.......institutionalised in other words!

39. A bit too close to 41-50 for my liking...

I'll leave others to pass judgement.

There are loads of similar 'tests' here.

err.... somone has* to get higher than my 'score', right? hang on... is the higher score better or worse?

46 - 48 (I vary in no. 9)

quite nice that test, but I cannot judge myself....

>>it's actually a very accurate part assessment of my personality profile

I marked myself using a series of very subjective questions, and surprisingly got what I consider to be a very accurate description of myself.

Well, my answers would be:
1 -C
2 - C
3 - By my side, so none apply.... chose A as nearest equivalent.
4 - Open, so none apply.... chose C as nearest equivalent.
5 - B
6 - B
7 - B
8 - E
9 - C
10 - Work, so none apply.... chose C as nearest equivalent.
It is not a terribly balanced questionnaire, but the results appear fairly accurate... or at least in comparison to Horoscopes!

I got a score of 35
