Personality Tests

I've found a new test - from www.thespark.com, which seems to be quite a big silly internet test site...

anyway, the good ones are: The Personality Type Test

and

The Homosexuality Test (contains sexual material for some)

P.S I would advise you not to fill out your email address and name at the beginning, unless you want their newsletter... have fun

My personality was the 'Mastermind' and when I said I was straight I got 37% gay, when I said I was gay I got 45% gay...

LMAO!! considering what I do for a living!

(Submissive Introvert Concrete Thinker )

Like just 7% of the population you are an ACCOUNTANT (SICT)--reserved, meticulous, and dependable. While being called an accountant isn't really that cool, neither are you. You aren't exactly the life of the party, but you do have fun, and the people close to you really do love you.

There are basically two kinds of accountants, and you most likely fit into one of the two categories:

male
female

Seriously: accountants are good at whatever they do. They can always be trusted, especially by their friends. They almost never cheat or steal. (Some real-life accountants do, however, they are probably Judges (DICT)). You probably have a wonderful relationship with your family.

Like just 4% of the population you are an ARTIST (DIAF)--creative, adventurous, and deep. Although you are an introvert, your dominant ideas lead you to assert yourself often--especially through your work. You actively put your creativity to constructive use, and because you are ruled by your heart you are less likely to be inhibited by logic.

You have an intuitive understanding of emotion and know how evoke it in others, but the real world can be a prison of foolishness and embarrassment if you don't get your head out of the clouds a little more. Also, you are 87% likely to write poetry. Please, for the love of God, stop now


Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing

I guess were in the same 7%, Ysh. I was an accountant too. Excellent. My dream occupation.

EXPERIMENTER
(Dominant Introvert Abstract Thinker )

Like just 4% of the population you are an EXPERIMENTER (DIAT). Although you're slightly shy (admit it!), you love control. When a problem comes in your way, you stomp on it swiftly and decisively. You are bothered easily by failure in others and failure in yourself. You don't like people that you don't think are intelligent. Rather than arguing with them, however, you would just as soon ignore them altogether.

In relationships, you have a strong heart. And because you're introverted, people take you as someone they can trust. But the fact is that in addition to solving problems, you like to create them. So there's a decent chance that you'll cheat on a loved one. If you do, you'll likely get away with it.

You're a good person at heart, but then again, who isn't?



I'm not so sure I like that description....

HELPER WHO FINDS MISSING CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET
(Submissive Introvert Concrete Feeler )
Like just 10% of the population you are a HELPER WHO FINDS MISSING CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET (SICF). You are very tentative in the world and introverted with people--which means you are the shy and silent type. Hence the Internet. But behind your reserved exterior lies a dedicated person with a passion for the concrete truth who wants to, in his heart of hearts, help find missing children. God bless you.


As for the other test (which I took a looooong time ago), I have nothing else to say other than it would be a real turn-off for all the guys around me. Just kidding.

Hmmm...this sounds close to a ripoff of the Keirsey-Bates Personality Test, which has been around for nearly 20 years. It proposes a combination of four characteristics: Judging vs Perceiving, Thinking vs Feeling, Intuition vs Sensation, and Extroversion vs Introversion. Have to say I prefer the way Kerisey-Bates phrased it, at least in part: Extroversion/Introversion certainly seems a bit more objective and less inclined to raise eyebrows than Dominant/Submissive.

Incidentally, if you want to do a comparison between your results on the personality test Frogus listed with the Keirsey-Bates, the latter is available here. Note, it does require an email address and name, though you can fake these.

The Northeast Leadership School (NELS) provides a discussion of the four Keirsey Bates parameters here. It makes good reading.

Is noone else gonna try out the 'Are You Gay?' test? Ah well, I'm certain it was the 'have you ever been photographed pouting while wearing a white silk kneckerchief and then shared the photo with the online community?' question that got me...

Anyway, I forgot to include the analysis - so here it is:

MASTERMIND
(Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker )

Like just 8% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this "scheming." Don't learn German.

Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader--you've definitely got the "vision" thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.

Took this test a long time ago, and so did several of my friends.
My result was:
EXPERIMENTER ( Dominant Introverted Abstract Thinker )

EDIT:
LOL - just took the test again and presto.............

@CE - now your public cover of 'researcher' is blown by what we had aleady ascertained in SYM! 'Experimenter' LMAO!

@Ty - your dream occupation? I am sure people end up in accountancy because

a) they are good liars and want to practice
b) it was an accident

I remain convinced that Accountants are not boring, they are misdirected. You *happen* into accountancy in my books

I will take the test again - just to be sure. I maintain this result was accidental!!

Thanks @Fable...I was a 'rational' on the Keirsey test, but it wanted money out of me before it would expand further...

EDIT - @Fable, on some research the test is being called the 'Myers-Briggs' test...what's the difference between Myers-Briggs and Kiersey-bates, do you know?

@A-c - aww! *hug* how nice!

Ok, I have just found out I have not permanently fried my pc. I am in a better mood - an thus - no longer an accountant (should contact clients asap! ) I changed very little of my answers, but I guess I am now a little more optimistic knowing that I don't have to shell out loads of money on my collapsed pc:

So now I join 8% of masterminds, instead of 7% accountants. I am back in the larger majority!

LMAO! I have gone from submissive/introvert/concrete/thinker to submissive/introvert/abstract/thinker

It appears that when I am faced with spending money - I move from abstract to concrete!! LMAO!
