The Five Factor Personality Test

they managed to get quite of bit of things right.

other than my 'agreeableness' that is. they screwed that up completely. the bit about being willing to compromise with anybody; that's the complete opposite of what i am. compromising is not a word which can be associated with me.

they got my 'conscientiousness' and 'neuroticism' quite quite accurate. i was pretty majorly impressed. the 'openness to experience' was a bit overdone though i thought. i'm not THAT open to experiences, but yeah, they managed to get the gist right. the "extroversion' again was a little extreme. but again, the basic idea was correct.

so on the whole, a pretty smart test. i would recommend it, for the sole reason that it may turn out to be uncannily accurate.
