Personality Traits

I took a quiz on Facebook and it seemed surprisingly accurate. Here's what it told me...



Discover the top 10 personality traits that uniquely describe you:

Sympathetic
You have a knack for knowing what's going on in the hearts and minds of those around you, without their having to tell you explicitly. People tend to turn to you with their problems because they know you care, and that you will likely offer good advice and a helping hand.
You do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves.


Accessible
You're comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn't like what they see it's not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the "accessible" trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.
You don't see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.


Understanding
You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.


Literal
You are much more interested in the concrete than in abstractions, and more comfortable talking about things you know are tangible and real than in speculating about concepts.
You see no reason to constantly hunt for hidden connections, figure out how to make things work more smoothly, or solve everyone's problems.


Easygoing
You move at your own pace and take whatever time is needed to master a new skill or get a job done. You are what you are, and don't need to see yourself as the world's best whatever.
You do not feel the need to conquer every challenge, be the best at everything you undertake, or win every contest.


Perplexed
You get by pretty well, but you're sometimes thrown by a new type of task or problem that you haven't seen before. You sometimes avoid certain types of assignments or situations, especially those that require you to learn new skills.
You don't always instantly understand how to solve an unfamiliar kind of problem, and you may need to have instructions repeated before you grasps their importance.


Warm
You have a genuine interest in other people. You're a natural host, and are always thinking about how you can increase the happiness of those around you. When friends have problems or are in trouble, you're usually the first person they turn to for aid and comfort. Scoring high on the "warm" trait suggests that you are among those who enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't always say exactly what you're thinking; you don't like the idea of causing anyone pain because of your criticism.


Cooperative
You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.
You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.


Tender
You are gentle with others, both physically and emotionally. You are careful not to upset people and go out of your way to find the nicest way to say something. You naturally focus on the fact that the world is full of wonderful people, places, and things. More often than not, people with a high score on the "tender" trait enjoy spending time with children, love romantic movies, and are enthusiastic about making the world a better place.
You don't think of yourself as tough-minded or gruff, nor do you need to be seen as some kind of objective source of truth and rationality.


Empathetic
You are in touch with your own feelings, which helps put you in touch with the feelings of others.
You don't buy the logic that your happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless you're happy you're incapable of making anyone else happy.




I especially liked the second one (accessible) when it says that I probably like rap/hip-hop music. My parents just aren't sure how or where that trait came from for me... but I am guilty of that truth... I do like rap and hip-hop music.
But that's me! Take it or leave it! (Or just love it!)
