Self-Realizations While Waiting For My Prof To Get Here

Took a personality test today while waiting for my class at UP-TMC. Was checking out the blogs of my students when I chanced upon this in another blog... came from a guy who had the same interest in an artist that i had... anyway, about my students' blogs--nakakatuwa kasi kakablog pa lang nila, nagko-commentan na sila sa blog ng isa't isa. I really don't know if may mapapala sila sa tinuro ko kanina (MS Frontpage and Blogging) but I hope they put whatever they remember to good use.

As for the personality test, it's called the Big Five Personality test. Here's what the site says:

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.

So here are my results on each dimension:

Big Five Test Results
Extroversion (34%) moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.
Accommodation (60%) 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 (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 (62%) moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Inquisitiveness (60%) moderately high which suggests you are intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

It's a bit close to the truth, actually. I'm impressed. But I don't think I'm as relaxed and as optimistic as this result says. I'm more on the panicky side--I don't show it that often nga lang, and not to a lot of people. Nats and the people at home, though, can attest to how REAL panicky I can be. :-P
