Personality Test Time (Another Filler Post)

Song Lyric of the Day:

Let loose and set your body free / Leave your situations at the door

Mary J. Blige / “Family Affair”

4:08PM.
Still feeling down about my professional life (read: complete lack of), I decided to kill some time and take a personality test that Industry Whore found. I think some of my results are all over the board:

Extraversion |||||||||||||||||||| 86%
Stability |||| 20%
Orderliness |||||||||||||||| 63%
Accommodation |||||||||||||||| 63%
Interdependence |||||||||||||||||| 76%
Intellectual |||||||||||| 50%
Mystical |||||||||| 36%
Artistic |||||||||||||||||||| 83%
Religious |||||||||||| 43%
Hedonism |||||| 30%
Materialism |||||||||||||||||||| 90%
Narcissism |||||||||||| 43%
Adventurousness |||||||||| 36%
Work ethic |||||||||||||||| 63%
Self absorbed |||||||||||| 50%
Conflict seeking |||||||||||||| 56%
Need to dominate |||||||||||||||| 70%
Romantic |||||||||||||||||||| 83%
Avoidant || 10%
Anti-authority |||||||||| 36%
Wealth |||| 16%
Dependency |||||||||||| 50%
Change averse |||||||||||||| 56%
Cautiousness |||||||||||||||||||| 90%
Individuality |||||||||||||||| 63%
Sexuality |||||||||||||||||||| 83%
Peter pan complex || 10%
Physical security |||||||||||||||||||| 83%
Physical fitness |||||||||||||||| 64%
Histrionic |||||| 30%
Paranoia |||||||||||||||||| 76%
Vanity |||||||||||||| 56%
Hypersensitivity |||||||||||||||||||| 90%
Female cliche |||||||||||||||| 63%

trait snapshot:
self revealing, neat, craves attention, prefers organized to unpredictable, needs things to be extremely clean, worrying, perfectionist, emotionally sensitive, respects authority, social, vain, does not like to be alone, likes large parties, controlling, social chameleon, not a thrill seeker, enjoys leadership, takes precautions, puts the needs of others ahead of their own, assertive, rule conscious, makes friends easily, always busy, heart over mind, phobic, aggressive, clingy, compassionate, dominant, outgoing, suspicious, hard working, strong

Basically, I think I boil down to quite a mix of contradictions, although a lot of the snapshot is pretty accurate. How some of the percentages were figured boggles my mind, though. What on earth does it mean by 30% hedonistic and histrionic? Warning to Rich: do not answer that. I will hurt you (see need to dominate, 70%).

9:11PM.
