Just for fun... How do others perceive you?

Although this is psychology-related, it's more of an exercise for fun, imo, so I've posted it in "Free Thoughts."

~~~

A friend of mine sent a copy of this “psychology-type” test via email for entertainment purposes. I have no idea where it originated; therefore, I can scarcely claim that results will be accurate for all. Which means I don’t know if this a real test or not. It’s floating around on the Internet and should be taken with a grain of salt unless one happens to know that the source is credible. As for me, my results do jive with my own notion of my own personality. The fun part was waiting to see what category I would fall under. (And then wondering about my own perception.

So, if you want, take the test for fun, and if the results are other than what you expected, don’t sweat it. No one is being asked to post their results, though all are welcome to if they want.

I repeat: It’s just for fun.

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, & 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 quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold & adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances & enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical & 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, a little too generous at times, & understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up & 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 someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make & who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust on your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking & fussy. They see you as very studious, extremely careful, a slow & steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsive or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle & 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, & 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.

I got a 40 but I think I deserve a 41.

I'm a lot more like 41 than 40.

I got 38 points and I think tht I can mostly agree with it, EXCEPT for tht friends trechery (sp) part. I always get very easy over it (it has happened only once) as said I very carefully choose friends.

48 points for me and in a good mood I think that's probably a fair assumption about myself thru others eyes.
Have to say that I sometimes wonder about myself but then the st' johns wort kicks in and the world is bright and breezy again.

Interesting

 

I got 48 points. I don't know, is that good or bad?...

 

I got 51!

Although some of the Answers I had to improvise.

Like I talk with my hands ( so I said cross armed)
And sitting with my legs cross made up or Sprawling out over the floor.

 

43 for me. Pretty acurate overall.

 

I got 49, a very flattering perception indeed.

I got 48, and what it says for that is so wildly inaccurate that it's ridiculous.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical & 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, a little too generous at times, & understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up & help them out.

I'm as antisocial as they come, I avoid social situations and generally don't talk to people unless I have to. I prefer not to even be in the realm of attention, let alone the center of it. I'm not very lively, because I'm a night person... I sleep walk through the day and don't really feel alert until late at night. I like to think I'm reasonably considerate and understanding and even kind, I'm not a mean person at all, but being around me still doesn't tend to instantly cheer people up.

(I'd rather put myself in the 31-40 range.)

 

44 points for me. Not quite accurate though. Some questions give more answers then only 1. I sit in different way's. All 4 answers are correct here. Do I have to count them all?

Then count 7 points to it and the outcome is different.

Nice test...

I had enormous trouble with this quiz. I could only answer with 5a and 9b. None of the options seem to come close to my lifestyle, but I've added my own options here and if anyone wants to attempt to score me then that would be cool.

1. When do you feel your best?
I can feel good at any time of the day. There is no time that is outstanding.

2. You usually walk...?
I don’t have a usual walk that fits any of the options. It depends on the mood I’ve chosen at the time.

3. When talking to people you...?
I tend to imitate the mannerisms of the person I’m talking to. But my kids tell me that when I enter lecture mode I tend to wave my finger around a lot, and they usually imitate me as a reminder.

4. When relaxing, you sit with...?
When relaxing I always lie down, couches, floor, tables, whatever, I find most chairs uncomfortable.

5. When something really amuses you, react with...?
a) a big, appreciative laugh

6. When you go to a party or social gathering you...?
I avoid them like the plague, but center stage works best when I want to be noticed, otherwise I just watch others, again it depends on the circumstances.

7. You're working very hard, concentrating hard, and you're interrupted. Do you..?
Interruptions occur, just deal with it and resume work when done.

8. Which of the following colors do you like most?
All colors can be appreciated in appropriate contexts. I really have no preferences.

9. When you are in bed at night, in those last few moments before going to sleep, you lie:
b) stretched out face down on your stomach

10. You often dream that you are...?
I know I dream but I never have memorable dreams.

Looking at the descriptions of the point range scores I couldn't find a description that fits me very well. I guess that makes sense since the questions don't fit me either.

Hahahahha. I have been accused of this so often in casual conversation that it's scary to imagine someone else also suffers the very same social malady.

Too many errantly confuse topical enthusiasm with pedantic abnormalcy. I see it as trolling for Snapper.

Just on the line of introverted and extroverted- the place that makes a perosn strange.
This was a very fun test- have any more?
