Personality Test vs Political Compass
Richard has nagged me about taking this survey, as he needs more right wingers and woman. I hope he targeted me for the first criteria.
=============================================================
Overview: This post is a community experiment with two broad purposes. The first is to create publicly accessible data about bloggers’ personalities, which may have sociological value in addition to being just plain fun. The second is to track the propagation of this meme through blogspace. Full details and explanation can be found on the original posting: http://pixnaps.blogspot.com/2005/06/meme-worth-spreading.html
Instructions (to join in the experiment):
1) Take the IPIP-NEO personality test and the Political Compass quiz, if you have not done so already.
2) Copy to the clipboard that section of this post that is between the double lines, and paste it into your blog editor. (Blogger users may wish to use ‘compose’ mode to preserve formatting and hyperlinks. Otherwise, be sure to add hyperlinks as necessary.)
3) Replace the answers in the “survey” section below with your own.
4) Add your blog information to the “track list”, in the form: “Linked title – URL – optional GUID”.
5) Any additional comments should go outside of the double lines, including the (optional) nomination of bloggers you wish to pass this experimental meme on to.
6) Post it to your blog!

So what do my results mean:
* Your score on Extraversion is high, indicating you are sociable, outgoing, energetic, and lively. You prefer to be around people much of the time. [Sounds right]
* Your score on Agreeableness is low, indicating less concern with others’ needs Than with your own. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising. [I can be very disagreeable, but normally on purpose. Not that uncompromising I thought but somewhat worried my a morality score of zero!]
* Your score on Conscientiousness is low, indicating you like to live for the moment and do what feels good now. Your work tends to be careless and disorganized. [Not quite right, I do love to live for the minute and can be disorganised, but not careless]
* Your score on Neuroticism is average, indicating that your level of emotional reactivity is typical of the general population. Stressful and frustrating situations are somewhat upsetting to you, but you are generally able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. [Yeah, about right]
* Your score on Openness to Experience is average, indicating you enjoy tradition but are willing to try new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. [Yay avoid the intellectual tag]
Richard needs right wing woman results, so Cathy and Anna are tagged to complete the test. Both would be very interesting.
