it says others see me as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. they see me as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. I am Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends I do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. those who really get to know me realize it takes a lot to shake my trust in my friends, but equally it takes me a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

I'm guess it's pretty accurate I'm not sure about the sensability or practicality and the clever gifted talented modest bit either. I'm not actually sure how I would describe myself in that sense. I am very loyal to my friends and it seems more and more (I need to stop) but I put such an emphasis on friendship that it pushes those closest to me away. If trust is broken I am generally pretty willing to give multiple chances before the trust is greatly affected. I guess I would say I am naieve to an extent.

It's Dr. Phil so it should be right, right?

I got 43 ( is that good? )

It say other see me fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical and always interesting; somebody who is always in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balance not to let it go to your head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them and help them out.

Well he got it almost right. I'm not really the center of attention, however when i am it doesn't get to my head, that is true. Everything else is pretty much the way i am.

I scored 41 and got the same analysis as M. Unlike M, however, I do not think it was at all accurate. I do not think that others see me as "fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical and always interesting". Nor do I think that people see me as "kind, considerate and understanding".

Yup, sums me up quite well I guess.

I tried to select the choice I thought fit me best, but I don't know how my number would have been affected if I chanced on something else. Many times I didn't feel anything was right for me, other times I had a very hard time choosing between several choices I liked just as much...

Anyway, I don't know how to interpret this at all, I can't see that one type of personality somehow is 'better' than another so why does this thing spit out a figure that looks suspiciously like a score?

I don't know why I get a higher number than some of the others in this thread, people I've gotten to know and are good people. I don't understand why, because I'm not a better person than them. In my eyes this either invalidates me, or invalidates the test. I'm not sure which is more likely...

Or, am I just being paranoid here? Smile Perhaps I am trying to read too much into a silly internet questionnaire, even though it's apparantly endorsed by Oprah and Dr. Phil... Hehe!

Darn it, I was scoring it like in golf! Wink

After a bit of experimenting I found that you get higher scores if you answer options near the top. All A's scores 51, all B's scores 41. If you select the bottom option for each reply you score 28.

What does it mean though?

First I took it like me as a normal me......I got a 40.

Then I took it as a cranky snarky guy and got a 44.

Hmmm......If you wear black, sleep with the covers over your head, dream of fighting and talk to people with your arms folded, you make a higher score.

But I guess Dr. Phil must know what he's talking about ::-) At least I scored higher than Oprah...wait, is that good or bad?
