I don't sound very nice

Puh! You're one of the nicest people I've ever met, so there!

Reluctance to help others? That doesn't sound like you at all! Argh, who cares? These tests are a load of tosh, anyway.

Oh thank you. :) and you're very nice too.

It's true, it's very hard to get on the wrong side of me (though a few have managed it).

'tend to lack energy and have difficult initiating activities' is true enough, so it's only mostly tosh.

I've succumbed to peer pressure (even if it was all in my head) and done the test too, and guess what: I don't sound very nice, either! ;-)

It doesn't say anything about your lack of willpower re shoes.

I think you probably scored high on needing to feel in control - which you do, admit it! It's too simplistic a test to be able to separate that from true neurosis. At least that's my story. And you agreeable and nice, honest!

>>And you are agreeable and nice, honest!

Well, I thought I was. :)

Ah, I do need to be in control, I can't let go, which is why I don't drink much and I've never been interested in drugs. It's held me back on a few occasions, I admit.

I don't see that as neurotic, but it's quite possible they do.

The trouble with tests that are multiple choice is that the results rest on the weight given to each choice.

I came out with 99% neuroticism. I do consider myself neurotic, but I'd be institutionalized if I was that bad. I've taken quite a few similar tests online, and feel comfortable saying this one is skewed.

Thanks for words of comfort! :)

Not all of it is inaccurate though, I'm not very emotional and I do deliberate a lot when making decisions. 2% extroverted though? I'd never leave the house!

I wouldn't have been able to even take the test if my results were true!

Don't worry about it.

I don't like that test either.

I got an enormous neurotic bar, and a tiny little sliver on each of the others. It reckons I am so neurotic that it is a wonder I ever make it out of bed in the morning.

Now you've met me - and I've met you come to think of it(!) and we don't strike me as neurotic.... or are we?

I thought we were both ather laid back actually.

Pet - you and me are so laid back we ought to have rollers on the backs of our heads.

Ptht! this is a silly meme and we will speak of it no more!

Agreed!

Well, the definition of neuroticism for the purposes of these tests are rarely what you'd think it was.

Lets hope so!

You sound nicer than me! "You very rarely feel depressed and are usually in a good frame of mind, however you experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. You get overwhelmed by too much noise and commotion and do not like thrill-seeking activities. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You dislike confrontations and are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny your own needs in order to get along with others, however you do not particularly like helping other people. Requests for help feel like an imposition on your time. You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing."

At least we can avoid those thrill-seeking activities together...

Fancy going hang gilding?

I'm a bit worried there might be too much noise and commotion.

Those birds up there are noisy bastards.

It's really quite frightening.

It doesn't sound much like you! I think you're a pretty open person. Screw the results, I say! Of course, I stopped taking the test about halfway through out of boredom. I wonder what that says about me? Heh.

I'm certainly not 2% extroverted! I might not be a bubbly, party-loving, centre of attention, but I'm not a mouse in the corner either.

You obviously lack commitment (or have a life).

I love that icon of Sam every time you use it. When are you going to make SPN icons to share? HAHA. I am testing your agreeability factor!

Maybe I'm just afraid these tests will say that I need to be COMMITTED. Pfft!

If you want Sam, you can have him. I rarely mind sharing my icons with people who ask (unless it's my default at the time).

In theory I could just let loose all those icons I showed you before, but you know me, I have to fuss about with them more than that!

I do want him, I do! *nabs*

I will wait patiently while you fuss about.
