Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.

[Cloak519]

If you've any time spare, would you mind taking the following test and posting results?
The test is pretty long but not as long as some.
I'm mainly just curious about people's scores... been doing a little reading into this lately.

My results were:

5% (1/19) - Extraversion
Sociable, Irresponsible, Dominant, Lack of reflection, Sensation-seeking, Impulsive, Risk-taking, Expressive, Active

25% (5/20) - Psychoticism
Aggressive, Assertive, Egocentric, Unsympathetic, Manipulative, Achievement-oriented, Dogmatic, Masculine, Tough-minded

96% (22/23) - Neuroticism
Anxious, Depressed, Guilt Feelings, Low self-esteem, Tense, Moody, Hypochondriac, Lack of autonomy, Obsessive

17% (4/24) - Lie Scale

...just so that I 'play fair'.

Hey hey here come the extraverts

.
I'm actually impressed by your lie scale. Mine seems to go against me being an INFJ.
Edit: That said, most of my lie scale came from when I was a young boy... e.g. "Have you ever taken the praise for something you knew someone else had really done?" - Yep, when I was in infant school.

I wouldn't say I'm depressed, have guilt feelings, low self-esteem, moody and lack autonomy though.
But very anxious, hypochondriac and obsessive

.

 

[Cloak519]

Thanks Goli! Haha I'm pretty much all of the list for neuroticism.
Everyone seems to score quite high on neuroticism, come to think of it.

The tl;dr version of my results was 'you're a dick head'.

 

[Aogu]

16% (3/19) - Extraversion

0% (/20) - Psychoticism

87% (20/23) - Neuroticism

25% (6/24) - Lie Scale

BTW I think that the words underneath are just to tell you the kind of things in the category, not words to describe you!

+ Wouldn't you basically expect these to be skewed? Low Extravert, high neurotic. This is an internet forum! And only certain types of people will take this test voluntarily!

And the non-tl;dr?

You are correct! The lists underneath are not descriptions of you as a person but instead things that fall under each category.
However, they do also describe some of us

[mameks]

So far I'm apparently the most psychotic...

 

[Cloak519]

Danke! Yet another 16 on neuroticism

.

whats that?

"It is an enduring tendency to experience negative emotional states. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, guilt, and depressed mood.[1] They respond more poorly to environmental stress, and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are often self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. Neuroticism is associated with low emotional intelligence, which involves emotional regulation, motivation, and interpersonal skills.[2] It is also a risk factor for "internalizing" mental disorders such as phobia, depression, panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders (traditionally called neuroses)."

Also, thanks in advance to all that respond... going to stop thanking now because I feel like a spammer lol.

 

[Mesiskope]

[Cuelhu]

OMG, I'm the most neurotic here.
