Gregariousness...........4 - "Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively avoid, large crowds. They do not necessarily dislike being with people sometimes, but their need for privacy and time to themselves is much greater than for individuals who score high on this scale."

Assertiveness............54 - "High scorers Assertiveness like to speak out, take charge, and direct the activities of others. They tend to be leaders in groups. Low scorers tend not to talk much and let others control the activities of groups. Your level of assertiveness is average."

Activity Level...........0 - "People who score low on this scale follow a slower and more leisurely, relaxed pace."

Excitement-Seeking.......26 - "Low scorers are overwhelmed by noise and commotion and are adverse to thrill-seeking."

Cheerfulness.............46 - "This scale measures positive mood and feelings, not negative emotions (which are a part of the Neuroticism domain). Persons who score high on this scale typically experience a range of positive feelings, including happiness, enthusiasm, optimism, and joy. Low scorers are not as prone to such energetic, high spirits. Your level of positive emotions is average."

(These results do not surprise me in the slightest, and feel pretty accurate to me.)

Morality.................19 - "Low scorers believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary. [...] [People] generally find it more difficult to relate to the unstraightforward low-scorers on this scale. It should be made clear that low scorers are not unprincipled or immoral; they are simply more guarded and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth."

Altruism.................5 - "Low scorers on this scale do not particularly like helping those in need. Requests for help feel like an imposition rather than an opportunity for self-fulfillment."

Cooperation..............26 - "Individuals who score high on this scale dislike confrontations. They are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny their own needs in order to get along with others. Those who score low on this scale are more likely to intimidate others to get their way."

Modesty..................74 - "High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that they are better than other people. In some cases this attitude may derive from low self-confidence or self-esteem. Nonetheless, some people with high self-esteem find immodesty unseemly."

Sympathy.................41 - "People who score high on this scale are tenderhearted and compassionate. They feel the pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human suffering. They pride themselves on making objective judgments based on reason. They are more concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. Your level of tender-mindedness is average."

(Again, not a lot of surprises. I think Altruism's been tainted by recent events, though; I generally give help when asked and generally don't mind it, but I've been getting volunteered quite a bit without my consent, which tends to grate on my nerves and, as the scale description says, feels like an imposition.)

Orderliness..............3 - "Low scorers tend to be disorganized and scattered."

Dutifulness..............54 - "This scale reflects the strength of a person's sense of duty and obligation. Those who score high on this scale have a strong sense of moral obligation. Low scorers find contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining. They are likely to be seen as unreliable or even irresponsible. Your level of dutifulness is average."

Achievement-Striving.....1 - "Low scorers are content to get by with a minimal amount of work, and might be seen by others as lazy."

Self-Discipline..........9 - "Those with low self-discipline procrastinate and show poor follow-through, often failing to complete tasks-even tasks they want very much to complete."

Cautiousness.............38 - "Cautiousness describes the disposition to think through possibilities before acting. High scorers on the Cautiousness scale take their time when making decisions. Low scorers often say or do first thing that comes to mind without deliberating alternatives and the probable consequences of those alternatives. Your level of cautiousness is average."

(I am content to get by with a 1 in Achievement. )

Anger....................88 - "Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when things do not go their way. They are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter when they feel they are being cheated. This scale measures the tendency to feel angry; whether or not the person expresses annoyance and hostility depends on the individual's level on Agreeableness."

Depression...............30 - "This scale measures the tendency to feel sad, dejected, and discouraged. [...] Low scorers tend to be free from these depressive feelings."

Self-Consciousness.......58 - "Self-conscious individuals are sensitive about what others think of them. Their concern about rejection and ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound others. They are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Their fears that others will criticize or make fun of them are exaggerated and unrealistic, but their awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone is watching and judging them. They do not feel nervous in social situations. Your level or self-consciousness is average."

Immoderation.............48 - "Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and urges that they have have difficulty resisting. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather than long- term consequences. Low scorers do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find themselves tempted to overindulge. Your level of immoderation is average."

Vulnerability............48 - "High scorers on Vulnerability experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under pressure or stress. Low scorers feel more poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed. Your level of vulnerability is average."

(I feel this is mostly accurate, with one MASSIVE exception: Anxiety. I am NOT an anxious person. I think every person I know in real life, and even any person on these forums who know me, can attest that I'm not constantly tense or jittery. I do get nervous occasionally, but it's not like I'm on constant pins and needles, which this test is suggesting. Unfortunately, I think the over-the-top Anxiety score is skewing the whole Neuroticism scale high.)

Artistic Interests.......40 - "High scorers on this scale love beauty, both in art and in nature. They become easily involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. They are not necessarily artistically trained nor talented, although many will be. The defining features of this scale are interest in, and appreciation of natural and artificial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthetic sensitivity and interest in the arts. Your level of artistic interests is average.

Emotionality.............1 - "Low scorers are less aware of their feelings and tend not to express their emotions openly."

Adventurousness..........19 - "Low scorers tend to feel uncomfortable with change and prefer familiar routines."

Intellect................1 - "Low scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either people or things rather than ideas. They regard intellectual exercises as a waste of time. Intellect should not be equated with intelligence. Intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual ability, although high scorers on Intellect score slightly higher than low-Intellect individuals on standardized intelligence tests."

Liberalism...............79 - "Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and disorder."

(Intellect's score surprised me; it wasn't until I thought about how I think of religion, the metaphysical and unknowable, and so forth that I realized the score actually makes sense. Other than that, I'm mostly just amused at how my openness score is low and suggesting of conservatism, yet I've got 79 on Liberalism)
