Crazy. Crazy, I say.

I popped over to Suburban Mum tonight and came across a personality test. I rather love personality and IQ tests and games of Scramble so thought I might as well as take this test. After all, how bad could it be? I'm a nice girl, smart(ish) and pretty down to earth. Not such a bad person at all. So I thought.

Big Five Test Results

Extroversion (26%) low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private. Accommodation (56%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex). Orderliness (46%) medium which suggests you are moderately organized, structured, and self controlled while still remaining flexible, varied, and fun. Emotional Stability (50%) medium which suggests you average somewhere in between being calm and resilient and being anxious and reactive. Inquisitiveness (20%) low which suggests you are overly small minded, traditional, and conventional at the expense too often of intellectual curiousity, possibility, and progress.

I am not a reclusive! Yes, I am quiet and sometimes too unassertive, but reclusive? I mean, it's not like I live in a house with 9 cats and have no friends. I'm not particularly private either, I will tell anyone and their dog about issues that should be private, such as the ins and outs of my sex life.

Moderately organized? Obviously the quiz makers have not seen the pictures of my kids rooms.

I thought I would score much lower on emotional stability, but shocked myself with a dead even 50%. On reflection, this is quite accurate and I think much more frightening that being at either extreme. I mean, my kids never know if I am going to be nice and calm or fly off the wall and threaten their very lives. (Not really people. Calm down. Well, maybe once or twice. You know, the old "I could beat/kill/murder you for that!" Don't tell me if you are the perfect parent who has never had words of that sort cross their lips. I bet you've thought, but are just too emotionally stable to say it out loud.)

Trusting? More like freaking gulliable. And everytime I hear the word gulliable I am reminded of 2 British soldiers that totally had me on and made a fool of me. Bastards. And a martyr? Not so much, though perhaps I act that way on the blog with all my "I did this and this and this and didn't get so much as a thank you." Yeah, maybe that's sort of right.

I am completely and totally offended at being called small minded. I don't think I am small minded at all, I'm a Liberal for godsakes. That doesn't mean I am saying Conservatives are small minded, so don't get your knickers in a knot Stephen Harper/George Bush/David Cameron supporters. And traditional at the expense of progress? Excuse me?! So, so wrong. Sooooo wrong. I think I scored low because I answered not accurate in the questions that applied to theoretical physics. People!It said physics! Of course, I ran in the other direction. I am not of a scientific mind at all but that doesn't mean I can't form progressive opinions.

Other than that last one and the organization one this test was apparently pretty close to reality, even though I never would have said that stuff about myself. Except for the being too trusting.

Oh! I have to say that one of the statements was "I love large parties." I read it as "I love large penises." Not once, but twice. I think I have a penis obsession. I am fascinated by them. And just so you know I would have been right in the middle on that one. Having seen gigantic ones and almost miniscule ones and all the sizes in between I am of the opinion that size does not matter at all. It's all in how you use it. Both of you.

And that's all Dr. Emma, sex therapist, has to say about that.
