I came across a site that provides certification for various skills for free. I immediately joined in to see what they have to offer and found a personality test that really made me say wow because it is really accurate. Read on
Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted
------------------------------------------------------------
You are quite introverted. Socially, you prefer a more
relaxed, low-key environment, rather than the hustle and
bustle of a wild night in the city. You tend not to talk a
lot, but when you do people listen, because when you say
something it has meaning. You are not seeking the
limelight, usually you prefer to let the attention-mongers
do their thing while you observe. In an unfamiliar setting,
you tend to be cautious and shy while you evaluate the
circumstances. You prefer to avoid conflict, so you do not
put yourself into a threatening situation. Your shyness may
be perceived as unfriendly, but that could not be further
from the truth. People need to be patient with you and take
the time to get to know the complex, private you.
Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate
------------------------------------------------------------
You are moderately candid. You know how people in a group
tend to agree with each other so that no one is dissenting?
Well, you are not one of those people. You are gifted with
the ability to make tough and objective decisions, even if
it goes against the popular consensus. At work, you are the
maverick with your no-nonsense, self-reliant and
independent nature. You have a realistic outlook on life,
and as a result you are more tough-minded than
tender-minded. You prefer if others are independent,
because going out of your way to help someone who you know
is capable of helping themselves is not particularly
appealing to you. In social relationships, you tend to be
somewhat guarded and will only reveal the real you once you
trust the other person. Your level of self-esteem is
admirable, and you would probably prefer if others were as
confident, so that you would not have to take steps to
boost their ego.
Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious
------------------------------------------------------------
You are quite impulsive. You are an independent thinker.
You do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave -
you know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act
accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously,
because you are able to make decisions without endless
deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are
making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly
quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every
step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is
frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct
one in the decision-making process. You tend to be a little
more casual, and you do not feel out of sorts when your
home or office is not perfectly neat. In general, your life
is pleasurable - you know how to have fun and will never be
accused of being staid or stuffy.
Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed
------------------------------------------------------------
You are very excitable. You do not like stressful
situations. You tend to react emotionally to stress, which
can lead to bad moods, or even anxiety, anger, or
depression. You like to be treated fairly, and may become
upset if you sense that someone is trying to cheat you. You
may find urges and cravings irresistible to the point that
you are giving into them even if you know you will regret
it or feel guilty later. Sometimes you may feel
uncomfortable in social situations, even thinking that
others are judging you. This self-consciousness may show
through as shyness, because you do not want people to think
poorly of you. You tend to worry and are apprehensive in
unfamiliar circumstances.
Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative
------------------------------------------------------------
You are very practical. You want just the facts - keep it
plain and simple. You are practical, pragmatic and well
grounded. You have no time for carelessness and
impracticality. You prefer to keep your emotions to
yourself, rather than exposing your feelings to the world.
Life moves along much better for you when you can maintain
a schedule and have routine in your life. Unexpected
surprises and chaos are a major inconvenience to you. You
tend to be conservative and are somewhat resistant to
change. Others respect your ability to act properly in your
everyday life.
The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------
You are very concrete in your thinking. You tend to prefer
the plain, straightforward, and obvious to the complex,
ambiguous, and subtle. You might even regard the arts and
sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as
abstruse or of no practical use. You believe that
intellect should not be equated with intelligence, as
intellect is an intellectual style, not an intellectual
ability.
