POINTS:
1. (a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 6
2. (a) 6 (b) 4 (c) 7 (d) 2 (e) 1
3. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 5 (d) 7 (e) 6
4. (a) 4 (b) 6 (c) 2 (d) 1
5. (a) 6 (b) 4 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 2
6. (a) 6 (b) 4 (c) 2
7. (a) 6 (b) 2 (c) 4
8. (a) 6 (b) 7 (c) 5 (d) 4 (e) 3 (f) 2 (g) 1
9. (a) 7 (b) 6 (c) 4 (d) 2 (e) 1
10. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1

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-centered, 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 center 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 it 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'd 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.


My score was 40, and seems to describe me pretty well. I am fiercely loyal to my friends, but if betrayed it takes awhile to regain my trust.

I got a 45. Why did I get penalize for generally having pleasant dreams?

very very good especially about the friends

just a few shades on the spectrum from bold and adventurous. I always wanted to be bold and adventurous, but nice to know I'm well balanced.

I imagine it could be because people who are aware of conflict issues, which we all encounter in relationships - even the best of relationships produce some crap - all energy conversion does - process much of this in their subconscious, i.e. their dreams. If you always have pleasant dreams, you are living in a paradise, not the real world.

Psychobabble folk have their own way of seeing the world.
 
40 on the dot:

I've been in HR a long time, and I can't imagine a major corporation using a ten-question test on their employees, much less for pre-employment. The only psychological tests that are considered valid (the results will stand up in court) are administered by and are only available to licensed psychologists. There is a huge liability using tests that don't have data to back up their validity and prove they are non-discriminatory and accurate.

Al that aside, the test was fun!
 
43, as well.

I'm a Miles Clone. (Almost posted that saying "Miles Cone." Eep!)

This is just something that I received in an email, and I thought it might be fun to share. I do not know who originally said this was a test given by the HR, I simply cp'd the heading (they did say that Dr. Phil gave this test on Oprah lol).

I've had to fill out psychological tests before, when applying for a job. Those were at least 50 questions, and not nearly as fun as this one. ;)
 
Great test !!!!

I knew I had a great employement future either as a women's prison guard or playing first bongo drum in a mariachi band.

LOL
 
(I don't know WHAT the heck this post is doing here. LOL)
