The only one that I really disagree with is "Liberalism". Yes, I usually prefer "conservative" candidates, but I fit their definition of a philosophical liberal much better than a conservative.

Wait a ZERO for 'Friendliness'? ZERO?! Okay look I know I answered that I only fake it when I show sympathy for others but really, doesn't this mean I'm the single LEAST friendly person to ever take this test? There has to be SOMEONE less friendly than me, right?!

Okay and I'm not sure about that 98 for 'Anger' but really? because i never assault people at all and the 96 for 'Immoderation' but let's focus on that 5 for 'Artistic Interests'. Hey, you know why I said I don't like art museums? BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN ENOUGH ART MUSEUMS TO KNOW HOW MUCH I WILL LIKE THEM. I have spent all sorts of time in all sorts of art museums, so look maybe I don't like paintings and sculptures all that much but hey, music is an art, right? And film? I enjoy those just fine.

So anyway. The test is clearly wrong in every way that I find unflattering.

Exy makes orphaned kittens cry for fun. He also does it in a completely unartistic way.

If only he had a higher self-discipline score... :(

I think part of the problem with this is the problem with any kind of personality survey: I already have a definite self-image, and I just answer the questions to conform to it, intentionally or not.

Yeah, I think you're right. Any sort of personality test which isn't being done in an office by a professional who knows how to get around those limitations is going to end up skewed.

Stupid long test.

Feel free to analyse: It looks wrong for the most part. Honest!

You are not nearly neurotic enough to be a valued and important member of this community. Come back when your selfworth is tied into the number of posts a thread of yours gets.

I'm troubled by the high level of conscientiousness as well.

waitaminute, my level of conscientiousness is comparable, what are you saying?

Interesting. I love that I scored a 0 on Altruism. :) There's a couple items in there that I'd disagree with, though. Activity Level is only a 23? I'm involved in more sports (either as a player or a coach) than most people I know and spend a bunch of time doing lots of other stuff as well. Perhaps in terms of what I'd rather be doing... Achievement-Striving of 5 is about right. I think my overall neuroticism score might be a little high, but I also tend to hide it pretty well around others, so I don't think many people realize how wound up I am most of the time, so maybe that score is right after all. My intellect score seems a little on the low side as well, considering that every IQ test I've ever taken has put me somewhere between 138-152.

We cannot figure out what this test means by intellect, but it seems to be tied to liking the arts to some degree.

Yes, I see, upon review, that they're calling "intellect" a measure of how much a person is receptive to new ideas and likes to debate such things. I'd still say I should be a bit higher on that scale, since I like to learn new stuff and analyze it to death, but whatever. :)
