More-"getting to know you"

Here are the results of an interesting 300 question personality test (IPIP-NEO) I took:

Via Majikthise

John A. Johnson wrote descriptions of the five domains and thirty subdomains. These descriptions are based on an extensive reading of the scientific literature on personality measurement. Although Dr. Johnson would like to be acknowledged as the author of these materials if they are reproduced, he has placed them in the public domain.


EXTRAVERSION...............45
Friendliness.............66
Gregariousness...........10
Assertiveness............65
Activity Level...........80
Excitement-Seeking.......12
Cheerfulness.............63

Your score on Extraversion is average, indicating you are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone.
---

AGREEABLENESS..............81
Trust....................91
Morality.................84
Altruism.................63
Cooperation..............61
Modesty..................42
Sympathy.................78
Your high level of Agreeableness indicates a strong interest in others' needs and well-being. You are pleasant, sympathetic, and cooperative.
-----

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS..........82
Self-Efficacy............75
Orderliness..............59
Dutifulness..............75
Achievement-Striving.....83
Self-Discipline..........86
Cautiousness.............67
Your score on Conscientiousness is high. This means you set clear goals and pursue them with determination. People regard you as reliable and hard-working.
-----

NEUROTICISM................13
Anxiety..................6
Anger....................68
Depression...............5
Self-Consciousness.......24
Immoderation.............21
Vulnerability............6
Your score on Neuroticism is low, indicating that you are exceptionally calm, composed and unflappable. You do not react with intense emotions, even to situations that most people would describe as stressful.
----

OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE.....80
Imagination..............87
Artistic Interests.......33
Emotionality.............73
Adventurousness..........85
Intellect................91
Liberalism...............46
Your score on Openness to Experience is high, indicating you enjoy novelty, variety, and change. You are curious, imaginative, and creative.
----

Note the high anger and the low "liberalism." Here's what it says about liberalism:

Liberalism. Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and disorder. Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition. Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not identical to political affiliation, but certainly incline individuals toward certain political parties. Your level of liberalism is average.

So in a nutshell, I am mildly extravertish, very agreeable, very conscientious, not neurotic and very open to experience. What a great guy! (note my modesty marks weren't very high. Surprising for someone like me who is renowned for his modesty and humility.)
