Your 5 dominant traits are: Spiritual, Emotionally Intelligent, Charismatic, Analytical and Grounded. You are very in touch with your senses and read other people very well. You are hungry for adventure and excited about life, but you are also very humble and sincere. You are a great problem solver and have a balanced perspective about things.

Pretty much spot on. Hilarious!

I also received this result: Your 5 dominant traits are: Spiritual, Emotionally Intelligent, Charismatic, Analytical and Grounded. You are very in touch with your senses and read other people very well. You are hungry for adventure and excited about life, but you are also very humble and sincere. You are a great problem solver and have a balanced perspective about things.

It doesn't describe me very well, though. For a start, I'm not hungry for adventure, I'm not very humble, and I don't read other people very well. I'm a little suspicious that this might be a case in which people are expected to feel that their traits have been captured because these are traits many people want to think they have.

I once read about an experiment a professor conducted in a psychology class. He asked his students for their birth dates and later handed out copies of the personalized horoscopes he had drawn up for them. All of the students were astounded by the accuracy of the astrological reports they had been given. The professor then told them that all of them had been given the same report, word for word.

Each student believed the report had described him or her perfectly because the report consisted of traits everyone claims. If you were told that you had a keen sense of humor, for example, would you deny it and say you have a lousy sense of humor? If your report said that you are extremely generous and you have often committed generous acts without letting anyone know about them, would you deny it? Even stingy people with no sense of humor want to think that they're generous and have a great sense of humor.

You're right - interestingly enough, I went back and took the test and chose the opposite of the questions they were asking and got the same results!

But hey .. just for fun.

Mine as far as art and science describes me well , I love both , while not as good at either as once was , as to either the curious is accurate but I am not a curious individual beyond any occasional norm ,
The remainder describes me as much younger , To create a finished achievement of practical science has and had always been a dream
You know these fit the off hand about gardeners , like,, I am curious if I could grow that here ,or I am curious how well that would grow here ,
Memory Garden,, about past dreams and people ,,, and so on .. interesting ,,
All these have a educational implication about everyone ,,,

Adventures? I'm doing good to get as far as the barn! Artist? I'm a mechanic, not an artist. And if life's toughest questions revolve around how to get this wretched computer to cooperate, ok, fine.

Exactly like horoscopes, but still fun, if for no other reason than to laugh at the results. Smiling

Hi all,
First time I stopped at this forum, at least I think it is. Confused

Well, I got FIERCE, ROMANTIC, INTELLECTUAL, EMPATHETIC & SINCERE. You are a fiery ball of passion who is always stimulated by learning about the people and things that surround you. Although you are fairly extroverted, you have a gentle and kind side to you that draws people to your warm soul.

Pretty much right on. I'm a passionate person and I have a hot temper if I get riled up. I am very passionate about the people and things I love. I love to LEARN. I love reading, exploring the outdoors, animals, gardening, cooking, photography ... I'm a "people watcher" and always have been. I am not an intellectual, but I can hold my own in a conversation. Smiling

The red dot one: You got: Even-tempered
You are very even-tempered – you don’t get angry very often and when you do it’s pretty controlled.

I wish.
