white hot and passionate is the only thing to be

I've been taking some tests at Similar Minds - I do enjoy checking out the mental map occasionally - and the results are less than complimentary this time around. Hmmm...

Big Five Word Test Results
Extroversion (40%) moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.
Accommodation (36%) moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly selfish, uncooperative, and difficult at the expense of the well being of others.
Orderliness (56%) moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, neat, structured and restrained at the expense too often of flexibility, variety, spontaneity, and fun.
Emotional Stability (44%) moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.
Inquisitiveness (74%) high which suggests you are very intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

[the title quotation is by Roald Dahl, from My Uncle Oswald, and reads in its entirety: “I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”]

  1. I don't see a lot here to be upset about. You aren't histrionic, for instance, which is a VERY good thing, although perhaps some histrionics at work would be appropriate (if totally unhelpful). You are who you are, and it's ok. Really--would smart people like your friends hang around with you and lie about this? :P

    1. The blog-ready blurbs here don't reveal everything that pops up when the tests are through. For instance, when I finished the Big Five, I discovered that my Global 5 type is either RLOEI or RLUEI, neither of which description is flattering in the least. I sound like a literal hermit, and a jerk to boot. I know I'm not really like that, but, sheesh....

      You're right, though--I have way too many great people in my life, with great taste, to take that all seriously.

    2. It's actually rather hard to find any positive traits listed at all, in *any* of the types. WTH?

    3. I didn't go through more than my two, but I'm not surprised to hear that. I'm going to try to send a message to the site management to see what the deal is.

    Interesting, but some anomalies. While I tend to not challaenge authority, I am somewhat skeptical of doing things just because someone told you to do it.

    1. So, if the Global is right, I'm an intellectual, avoidant, anti-authority, individual, sexual, conflict-seeking hedonist. And you are an extroverted, intellectual, romantic, sexual, religious indie. No wonder we mesh so well! :D

      In all seriousness, I do see where my current responses to these prompts stem from my current circumstances, which are admittedly rather extreme (and in a variety of directions in which 'extreme' could be interpreted). My anti-authority results have an obvious cause, don't they? As do those that tend toward independence.

      I just wish I'd gotten better feedback than "your personality is abysmal and you should've been a philosopher or a writer." Well, duh!
