Personality A La Phil

Kudos to my sister for sending this to me by email today. I enjoyed it and found my results pretty doggone accurate. I am anxious to hear what you guys think ~ please openly share your results at will!

This is Dr. Phil's expressed personality test (I guess Dr. Phil scored 55 when he did this test on Oprah, who scored a 38). I am not an avid follower of Dr. Phil, but this test was fun and pretty accurate. The following only takes about 2 minutes. It's 10 Simple questions. So grab a pencil and paper to keep track of your letter answers to each question. Don't peek as you take the test, but scroll down after you've answered each question. Answer related to who you are now, not who you were in the past. Ok, here we go:

(a) 6 (b) 2 (c) 4 ~~ 8. (a) 6 (b) 7 (c) 5 (d) 4 (e) 3 (f) 2 (g) 1 ~~ 9. (a) 7 (b) 6 (c) 4 (d) 2 (e) 1 ~~ 10. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's q quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the exciteme! nt you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someonewho's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust In your f r! iends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would! really surprise them if you ever did somethingimpulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

How did you score?

Well, either I lied on the quiz, you guys are all fooling yourselves, or Dr. Phil is out to lunch.

I got 48 which makes me "fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting;" OK, 'interesting' I'll go along with.

"someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head." Nonsense! I prefer to stand aside and observe, but I am well-balanced.

"kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out."

Chuckle, chuckle.

37~ Seems very accurate for me. But I didn't like my choices for some of the questions. The one when talking to others, do you touch or push them? That sounded confrontational didn't it? My hands are usually behind my back, that wasn't a choice.
