I sometimes find these kind of tests hard. “Is sometimes lazy” – by whose definition? I berate myself for being “lazy” when I get less done than I want to get done, but by a perhaps-more-objective standard, I may not be “lazy.”

Took the test this morning (when I was still smarting about the paper rejection) and got 35, 35, 4, 57, and 84.

I took it now (after a morning of “not being lazy”) and got a 70, 79, 4, 69, and 76.

So only the low extraversion remains the same (And the neuroticism isn’t that much different either, I guess, but I argue that some of that is in the service of conscientiousness). Of course the fact that I feel less of a screw-up now affects how I evaluate my organization and “sloppiness.”

I took the test. I’m a sucker for them! LOL

Open to New Experiences — 95
Conscientious — 64
Extraverted — 89
Agreeable — 74
Neuroticism — 84
High-Strung

They came close but I think I’m more conscientious than they do and less agreeable than they do! Sigh
