Personality Test

[The Curtmudgeon]

I took a personality test once. They told me I flunked.

The () Curtmudgeon

Actually, I'm generally completely disinterested in these kinds of tests. Part of that is that I think they are horrible at actually measuring anything at all, especially those that have only a "Yes/No" spectrum of answers. F'rinstance, looking at the first 10 questions of this test:

1. You are almost never late for your appointments
   YES NO
   
   My natural inclination is tardiness; when I'm not late to appointments, it's because I've worked hard to overcome my natural inclination. So should I answer according to my nature, or according to what I actually do?
   
2. You like to be engaged in an active and fast-paced job
   YES NO
   
   Mentally active and fast-paced, yes. Physically active and fast-paced, no way in Niflheim.
   
3. You enjoy having a wide circle of acquaintances
   YES NO
   
   Yes, but I'm extremely choosy as to who is included in that circle.
   
4. You feel involved when watching TV soaps
   YES NO
   
   No clue at all -- I never watch the stupid things.
   
5. You are usually the first to react to a sudden event:
   the telephone ringing or unexpected question
   YES NO
   
   If "jumping" counts as a reaction, then probably yes; if you mean actually answering the phone, not a chance.
   
6. You are more interested in a general idea than in the details of its realization
   YES NO
   
   Depends on whether I'm getting paid for the realisation.
   
7. You tend to be unbiased even if this might endanger
   your good relations with people
   YES NO
   
   Unbiased by what criteria? Racially, I'm unbiased. Sexually, I'm either unbiased (e.g., competent co-workers) or very biased (e.g., dates). Chronologically, I'm pretty biased (don't spend much time with under-30s unless they're family -- I do make exceptions in particular cases, including quite a few here on TWeb).
   
8. Strict observance of the established rules is likely to prevent a good outcome
   YES NO
   
   Well, at work, that's pretty true. But other than that and traffic speed laws, I generally conform to established rules.
   
9. It's difficult to get you excited
   YES NO
   
   In general, yes. On specific topics, not in the least.
   
10. It is in your nature to assume responsibility
    YES NO
    
    This one is easy to answer: Nope, I've been productively dodging responsibility for most of my life. Except when caught red-handed, of course.

If this quiz had a 1...5 or 1...10 spread for answering, I might take a longer look at it.

There was one like that, and it tended to have much better questions in the first place. Sadly, it's been taken down.

Because Darth has been too busy covering his face in warpaint and trying to take over the world.

The only thing that Darthie has conquered, is a pizza. He couldn't conquer the world if all he had to fight, was the French.
