Quiz: What is your personality rated?

[denny]

I think this is particularly inaccurate, even by crappy online quiz standards. Not to mention the instinctive rejection I have for the concept of scoring personality on a numeric scale...

But, I was bored, and so you must all suffer...

Your score is 33 Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

It's particularly silly that it doesn't give an idea of the scale, but the description is pretty close to my image of you.

I got "Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate."

I'm unconvinced. The got the "will try anything once, and will take chances" bit right, but volatile and impulsive I am not.

~laughs~ I got the same one as you, and am vice-versa in the bits I agree with and disagree with...

Can someone call a psychologist or something? I think that's fascinating.

Hmm. We're actually twins, but some freak accident involving a lightning strike and radioactive waste caused the embryo to be split in two and implanted in different wombs. Um, and one half slipped through a loophole in time to account for the age difference. Thus, we both have half a prescribed personality.

You know it makes sense :)

Maybe I'm just pieces of you he's never seen. ~sigh~

Some days I want to kick Tori Amos for ever writing that blasted lyric.

I think the word you're looking for is 'proscribed'  ;p

[wildeabandon.livejournal.com]

Not according to oed.com. The meanings of proscribe they give as;
1. trans. To write in front; to prefix in writing. Obs. rare.
2. To write up or publish the name of (a person) as condemned to death and confiscation of property; to put out of the protection of the law, to outlaw; to banish, exile.
3. To reject, condemn, denounce (a thing) as useless or dangerous; to prohibit, interdict; to proclaim (a district or practice);

whereas the definitions of prescribe include
2a. To write or lay down as a rule or direction to be followed; to appoint, ordain, direct, enjoin.
which was the meaning I was using
:P

...and I was implying that your personalities should be denounced as dangerous  *kiss*

Erm, you're not volatile? I have bite-marks, y'know... *grin*

Anyway, it says "others see you as...". I'm not sure I'd use the word 'impulsive', but other than that I would say that description is pretty accurate for how I see you...

This is interesting. Perhaps this is one of those quizzes which is so accurate that everyone denies it loudly (difference between self-image and perceived image being what they are).

I don't see gothslut as volatile, fwiw...~shrug~

That's not volatile, that's drunk.

Hrm. I'm not a natural leader, either, if only because I don't like a)people and b)responsibility. And I don't think I radiate excitement either - my charm is of a quieter kind. *nods*

[duranorak.livejournal.com]

And I don't think I radiate excitement either

Depends under what circumstances one sees you. Sometimes, you do. ~nods~

That's not volatile, that's drunk.

When I get drunk, I generally get quiet and either sulky or maudlin  :)  There's got to be some direction in your character for the alcohol to pick up on and amplify, I always thought?

As for the rest of it. Hrm. Good point about the leadership thing - I see you as someone who could be good at it (drawing on experience of judging people's leadership skills that I built up when doing all the political stuff I used to be involved in), but if you're not interested then of course you wouldn't be doing it.

As far as 'radiating excitement' is concerned... I immediately thought of you at the Calling, when you're happy and perky and bounce around saying 'Hello' to people. You definitely radiate excitement sometimes... an almost childlike glee in the moment. *shrug*
