If you are bored and have nothing else better to do you can take the Global Advanced Personality Test.

I found this link on Big Hominids blog.

Just fill in the little bit of personal data and answer the questions.

My results? I am basically FUBAR.

Stability results were high which suggests you are very relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic..

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive.

I rated highest (90% each) in physical security and romantic and lowest (10%, 16%) in religious and paranoia. No surprises there.

But the overall profile is a bit off.

Quote:
trait snapshot:

craves attention, messy, open, rash, irritable, likes large parties, low self control, weird, fragile, does not like to be alone, emotionally sensitive, worrying, depressed, heart over mind, does not respect authority, dependent, not rule conscious, not good at saving money, more interested in relationships than intellectual pursuits, likes to fit in, very social, frequently second guesses self, phobic, suspicious, not careful, outgoing, vain, compassionate, aggressive, likes to make fun, hates to lose


I have added bold to indicate where I agree and underlining where i definitely disagree.

There are some major problems with ASSUMPTIONS made between question responses and trait characteristics associated with them. I have done several personalty tests over the years and this one is one of the least accurate I think.

The underlined traits are definitely not me. I definitely don't make fun of people, I don't hate losing (always take it quite well - I know so many people who get upset when they lose, it's silly), I am the opposite of phobic (I don't obsess or fear much),

does not respect authority? (this is definitely a product of bad assumptions, as it's so untrue. i respect my father yet make my own decisions as he raised me to, i respect my boss when it comes to when i work but i alone decide what i teach, etc... i respect authority where authority resides (i don't mock the police, say "sir" respectfully and without resentment, but if an officer asked me to do something outside of their authority i wouldn't do it).

likes big parties? no, prefer small parties of four or five. i answered saying i like to meet lots of different people, but that doesn't mean i like mingling at a big party.

i recommend the Meyers-Briggs personalty type indicator test. It's the best of the bunch. Though some others can illuminate.

messy, depressed, introverted, feels invisible, does not make friends easily, nihilistic, reveals little about self, fragile, dark, bizarre, feels undesirable, dislikes leadership, reclusive, weird, irritable, frequently second guesses self, unassertive, unsympathetic, low self control, observer, worrying, phobic, suspicious, unproductive, avoidant, negative, bad at saving money, emotionally sensitive, does not like to stand out, dislikes large parties, submissive, daydreamer

Shocked I'd agree with most of this, but "feels undesirable?"
I have an Austin Powers Complex! Maybe I've lost me mojo.

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion 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.


trait snapshot:
social, outgoing, worry free, optimistic, upbeat, tough, likes large parties, makes friends easily, rarely irritated, open, enjoys leadership, trusting, dominant, thrill seeker, strong, does not like to be alone, assertive, mind over heart, confident, controlling, feels desirable, likes the spotlight, loves food, social chameleon, hard working, concerned about others


Except for materialistic, which I don't think I am, I think it pretty much sums me up.
