OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and 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 expects 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 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 would 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 and 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. I scored a 39. |

Quoted: I got a 51, but I don't do any of the things in question 3. I picked e, but only because I have a faint memory of doing that once or twice. Where was the option for "Stand there with my arms hanging naturally, or hands moving a bit for emphasis?" There are also people who keep their hands in their pockets. |

| 48 Some of the answer choices didn't cover a lot of people's personalities. For example #3 I look someone in the eyes when talking and glance away, putting my ear towards them when they are saying something important, then look at them and nod my head slightly to let them know I understood them. |

41 = 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.
Seems about right to me. Echoes what people have said to me, I am the first that many come to for advice; I am in pretty good control of my temper (now) and can deal with even the biggest idiots... Part of my job... The others don't seem to fit me as well, so unlike a horoscope where one applies oneself to a horoscope, this is at least roughly accurate. |

Actually, that's about right. |

This has got to be some bullshit email FWD thing. I have a hard time believing that any HR dept uses this test. If they do, it lowers my view of the modern corporate world even more. There is no way that some of these are accurate indicators of personality. This is nothing like the personality test I took at my place of employment, although honestly it's not too far off from the test that my company paid several thousand dollars to have done for the employees. If anybody is interested, I'll export the PDF as PNG, upload and compare between this test in the thread and a professionally considered one. |

45, don't find it too accurate because although I love being the center of attention, I do tend to let it go to my head. I am also considered very volatile by people who have worked with/for me over the years........
Oh well, maybe that's why I didn't get that job with blackwater I applied for back in 08  , they were looking for a 62 hahahaah.
