Somehow yesterday I managed to put down my wallet somewhere in the building and lose it, so I suppose this test has that bit right...after searching everywhere I thought I'd been, giving up and going home (not a light matter because it has my office keycard in it), and today, a building wide email and calling the front desk of the other company here, I finally found it under my desk; somehow I'd kicked it to the very corner of my cubicle behind my recycling box.

Big Five Test Results

The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension: Extroversion results were very low which suggests you are extremely reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private. Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, random, scattered, and fun seeking at the expense of structure, reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment. Emotional Stability results were moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious. Accommodation results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex). Inquisitiveness results were moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical. Your Global5/SLOAN type is RLUAI Your Primary type is Reserved

Why are these so negative? "Because you're a whiner..."

Weird. All the preferred careers listed actually sound interesting - except maybe assassin (wtf?! I guess I'll really be good at Assassin's Creed, if I can ever get it running), and egyptologist is awfully specific. Yes, the disfavored ones are ones I have no interest in at all. So most people in my career path are really horribly depressed emo dysfunctional people? I'm confused. This really reminds me of when I was young and stupid and fell for one of those personality quizzes the Scientologists use to recruit their minions. I went to the interpretation or whatever of it and the person there first tried to impress me by telling me John Travolta (who I can't stand) was a member and then basically told me what a horrible person I was and what was I going to do about it.
