Contemporary psychology talks about the "Big 5" human personality traits. These are:
Openness - appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.
Conscientiousness - a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior.
Extraversion - energy, positive emotions, urgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
Agreeableness - a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
Neuroticism - a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; sometimes called emotional instability.
Personality tests aren't often too accurate but they can be a useful tool for introspection. Take this test if you're curious about your personality type and say how accurate you thought it was.
Also, in preparation for Sunday's lesson, in your comments please post three words to describe yourself.

Well, I would say its accurate to a degree. Being theoretical and such, I knew I would get answers like that through the options I chose, and I guess it represents me well.
Although never have I seen a compiled analysis of my personality... So it'll be the first time i've ever really "described myself":
Secure, curious, spontaneous.
Interesting link sir. I find personality tests super intriguing.
Lets see now, if we were to work with numbers here, i'd give this test a 90% for accuracy. haha, the results are not shocking, high levels of extroversion and inquisitiveness :D however, my organizing skills went spiraling down (NOT SHOCKED AT ALL)
UTSA THE AWESOME IN THREE WORDS,just messing :P
interactive, emotional and overly-flexible.
This was ok, agreeing with Duwane. I dont usually look at myself, I would rather look at the world, so I cannot say it is accurate or not, since I never do these kinds of things.
Juding by what the site tells me, in three words, it would be something like this:- Intellectual, curious and thoughtful.
Holy cow, that was SO accurate!
I'd give it a 90%, they were wrong about me being only MODERATELY intellectual:P haha just kidding.
Very Sociable, can be Self centred, Artistic
This was quite interesting. I enjoyed the experience, and I would say it was reasonably accurate. Although this was my first time with this kind of personality test, so I guess this is apparently who I am:
Intellectual, trusting, secure.
Haha I like how the first question asks whether you're male or female :P
Extroversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.
Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun.
Emotional Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Accommodation results were medium which suggests you are moderately kind natured, trusting, and helpful while still maintaining your own interests.
Inquisitiveness results were moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.
I agree with the last three, but the first two aren't that accurate. In extroversion, I HIGHLY disagrre that I 'do not develop my own individual interests and internally based identity.'
In orderliness, I HIGHLY disagree that I am not 'restrained from flexibilty, variety, spontaneity and fun. I HAVE MY OWN INDIVIDUAL, UNIQUE IDEAS! I AM FLEXIBLE AND I HAVE AAALLOOTTT OF FUN!
:)
Oops, was I not supposed to share my results?
Sorryy!
I enjoyed it though, I always enjoy these type of tests
loved it!!! interesting new exciting post sir!! i love these kind of tests!! ok my results were Extroversion= 78%
Orderliness= 72%
Accommodation= 68%
Inquisitiveness = 56%
uhmm accuracy of this test??? maybe 70% I say this because I am definitely talkative, well organized, outgoing, accommodating and inquisitive but not to the extent were it becomes an obstacle in me being practical or in my growth as an individual!!!
3 words to describe me?
responsible, outgoing, a 'people's person'
Really flexible, unassertive and scattered. Although I don't think that even if we summarise we'd be able to describe ourselves with 3 simple words.
Sure, it was accurate to an extent, but I agree with Duwane, we sort of did choose our own answers.
It was interesting to see my personality summarised for me in 5 different aspects; but it didn't exactly make me feel all that good about myself :P
Okay, so 3 words in short :
Imaginative, Overly organized, Curious.
Hahahaha, it was quite interesting. Some of it was correct, I'll say 75%
But not bad compared with all those fake stuff, especially on Facebook!
And should we share our results or no?
^ No, don't share your results - just say how accurate you thought it was and then give three words to describe yourself - regardless of the test.
...Apparently I have a martyr complex. I won't comment on that l-lol.
Actually, that was pretty accurate, yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm emotional but I am not orderly haha.
Also, three words:
Affectionate, passionate, thoughtful.
i suppose they were accurate to some extent. or maybe they are fully accurate but we just dint know this about ourselves.
i hate describing myself.
confident, trustworthy, messy.
Not too accurate. A bit of truth there nevertheless.
3 words - Talkative, confident and persistent.
My results were quite accurate! haha i'd give it a 90% as well, though I'd never really know, since I am only slightly aware of how I really affect the people around me (you'd never really know what people see/feel when they look at you), and only THEY can be the judge of how my personality is.
Hmm..
Balanced, flexibly structured,and impractically intellectual :P (yay for oxymorons)
And apparently, I have a martyr complex? -.-"
here agreeing with mo and duwane,
i dont usually do this but in a way it was quite accurate,
the only thing that i would disagree with is that they said i dont like practicals and i like theory
theory to its extent i dont mind it but i LOVE practicals and practically doing something and experienceing it first hand
i would know this as i studied in a cbse school for 12 years and had enough of theory crap for a life time
o and if i were to desribe myself i would say.....
Secure,curious,spontanious,out going,extravert,artistic. PRACTICAL!!!...
Too many to decribe in three words
It was nice to take this test and get to know more about my personality. It wasn't 100% accurate but i was happy with the results. It described me to about 80%.
I am responsible, intelluctual and kind.
lol martyr complex? i have that!? :S... okies anyways, yea this test was like 90% right, but i'm not so sure about it because we probably don't see ourselves completely so i'll always be in doubt about the rest.. but anyways.. 3 words about myself? empathetic, witty and pensive
To be honest, this test annoyed me, i dont know myself very well, i never have. Plus it was insanely long!
The test was accurate.
If i had to describe myself in three words?
It would be...
Chatty
Extrovert
and
Dysfunctional to a certain degree :)

It was 50-50…….some of it was accurate…..,some of it was wrong.
3 words: chatty, compassionate, upright (and messy)
Oh okay, 3 words that I think were accurate
Outgoing, social, organized
That was quite nice. I think it got me down to a point. Though it did get some parts kind of wrong. However overall it was good. I would give it a 65% accuracy.
I'd give it an 80%. :)
Three words to describe me: ambitious,passionate and.. patriotic? :P
The test was quite accurate, for a change. Compared to all the junk that Facebook's tests results have shown, this was quite good and very interesting too.
Three words would be: a good listener, appraochable, diplomatic.
The results were pretty accurate. My personality is very much like what the test results showed.
Three words to describe myself: Helpful, Loving and Senseitive :)
The test was 90% accurate for me as well.Got to know more about myself.
Three words to describe me
quiet,organized and solitary.

Wow.
I'd go for 80% ?
*high 5 Nishika*
i'm not the biggest fan of describing myself either.
i'm - imaginative, strange, random.
That was really accurate except for the very conservative part :/
hahahah, i SO do not see myself as conservative! but as for the other aspects such as sociable and outgoing.I would DEFINITELY agreee :)
secure,caring,strong*mentally* x
Now that was good! :D
it always feels good to know that your perception and assessment of yourself is correct.
I gave a '4' for accuracy.
Among the five of the traits that were shown in the result, four of them were very true to myself.
We should have more of these. There is nothing better than finding the true you!
