[Kate!]

This is a really good personality test, but it is a bit time consuming (took me nearly half an hour, which is roughly what they say it should take if you are doing it properly)

I found it interesting and pretty accurate overall.

Here's the link for anyone who wants to have a go

http://www.personaldna.com/tests.php

My results...just the bits I thought most true, too long to post it all.

You are an Attentive Visionary.

Your imagination, self-assuredness, and knowledge of the world combine to make you a VISIONARY.

You have clear notions of how things could be, and the confidence to try to make them that way.

You enjoy having a routine, and prefer comfort and familiarity to risk and adventure.

Your imagination allows you to envision the world as a better place.

You are somewhat rigid in your beliefs, which comes from both confidence and an aversion to change.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

If you want to be different:

Appreciate the earthly, functional elements of things.

Your clarity of vision sometimes prevents you from being open to new ideas. Try expanding your horizon of experiences, and experimenting with novel ways of doing things.

How you relate to others
You are Attentive

Because you like spending time with others, understand their feelings, and often know what is best for them, you are ATTENTIVE.

Some people are merely concerned about others, but you take action, helping people when you have the opportunity.

Although you care about others, you are hesitant to trust them to act in the best way on their own.

You don't let your concerns with people go unnoticed: if someone has hurt your feelings, that person will hear about it.

You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and you're not hesitant to express yourself.

If you want to be different:

You care about people, but finding the ones you can truly trust will allow you to get closer to them.

You don't feel the need to try everything new that comes along – you know what you like and what you want.

You have a refined sense of taste, and you want your environments to reflect your preferred style.





There are times when you feel insecure and vulnerable, even though you know deep down that you are a good person.

You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.





You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.





You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

I took it very seriously. I actually did... there wasn't anything not to take serious

[Kate!]

good result there Lucas.

[Livia]

I am waiting for one of these tests to give results people aren't quite flattered by. You know, one that says something like: You tend to be scuffy and disorganised, you're generally unpunctual, unreliable and people think you're sneaky. You go through life lurching from one disaster to another, you're selfish, pretentious and tend to tell lies.

this is very true, there were no negative statements at all in my analysis, it was accurate enough I felt, but is rather unbalanced. Mine should have included my stroppiness and impatience and the fact that I am one of the worlds untidiest people and live in organised chaos

[Vanessa]

http://www.personaldna.com/report.ph...u=67f2766af041 All in all quite accurate. Thanks, Kate! I enjoyed that test!

At least your chaos is organised. There is no organisation to mine... They do say a tidy desk is a sign of an unbalanced mind... not sure what they'd say about my bedroom. It currently looks like a charity shop has exploded.

I'm a Reserved Artist. I think this thing is broken though, I got 64% masculine and 0% feminine

I always imagine you to be fastidiously tidy and organised, nothing out of place, don't know why Livia

[InOne]

You are a Considerate Thinker.
personalDNA
about you
You are a Thinker

Your cautiousness, appreciation of functionality, and imagination combine to make you a THINKER.

You have a vivid capacity for imagery that allows you to see beyond your present circumstances.

You like to be sure of yourself before voicing your opinion.

A lot of your time is spent at home, or with the people you care about.

Although you may dream often, you're very aware of how things work, and you value things that work well.

You take comfort in the familiar, and value predictability—and others value those things in you.

Accordingly, you prefer a set routine, and although you often imagine how things can be different, you're hesitant to take risks to change things.

Sometimes you doubt whether you have the ability to face certain challenges, but your practical focus helps you solve most problems.

Because of this, you tend to be more reactive than proactive, thinking thoroughly about the challenges that you face.

You have a broad-based, theoretical understanding of the world that allows you to understand its workings.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

[Livia]

Oh you couldn't be wider of the mark. I am terribly untidy. I reach a point where I can't stand it anymore and have a massive clear up. I love it when everything's tidy and spick and span and it stays like that for a week or two... but gradually the kipple overtakes the tidiness and I'm back to square one... and so the cycle begins again.

[lostalex]

I guess i'm a generous dreamer.





You are a Dreamer

Your combination of abstract thinking, appreciation of beauty, and cautiousness makes you a DREAMER.

You often imagine how things could be better, and you have very specific visions of this different future.

Beauty and style are important to you, and you have a discerning eye when it comes to how things look.

Although you often think more broadly, you prefer comfort to adventure, choosing to stay within the boundaries of your current situation.

Your preferences for artistic works are very refined, although you vastly prefer some types and styles to others.

Though your dreams are quite vivid, you are cautious in following up on them.

You are aware of both your positive and negative qualities, so that your ego doesn't get in your way.

A sense of vulnerability sometimes holds you back, stifling your creative tendencies.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.


You are Generous

Your awareness of those around you, along with your nuanced perceptions of the world at large, makes you the GENEROUS person that you are.

You value time to yourself and understand how rich your private world can be—you know that you don't have to go wild to have a good time.

You are excited and energized by ideas and often enjoy things more through observation than through experience.

This tendency gives you an appreciation for different perspectives and opinions about the world.

Being as aware of others as you are doesn't mean you find it easy to trust them immediately—this is something that happens more slowly for you.

Despite this, you are aware of the complexities of many situations and are reluctant to pass judgments on others.

Although you have fewer friendships than some people, those that you have are meaningful and are important to you.

You value spending time alone—it is while reflecting on the world around you that you often learn something new about yourself or begin to understand something that's been bothering you.

[joeysteele]

You are a Benevolent Analyst.
personalDNAabout you
You are an Analyst

Your attention to detail, confidence, sense of order, and focus on functionality combine to make you an ANALYST.

You are very curious about how things work, delving into the mechanics behind things.

Along those lines, how well something works is usually more important to you than what it looks like.

You find beauty and wonder mainly in concrete, functional, earthly things.

You are very aware of your own abilities, and you believe that you will find the best way of doing things.

Accordingly, problems do not intimidate you, as you believe in yourself.

You trust yourself to find solutions within the boundaries of your knowledge.

You don't spend a lot of time imagining how things could be different—you're well-grounded in the here-and-now.

It is important for you to follow a routine, and you prefer the familiar to the unknown.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.


If you want to be different:

Try to embrace the imaginative, creative part of your personality more often.

Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.


how you relate to others
You are Benevolent

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.

Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.


If you want to be different:

You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!

Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.


I found this quite interesting and thought provoking to do too.

Have a little more faith in your capacity to do things—turn your thoughts into actions!

You are Considerate

You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.

You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.

If you want to be different:

Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!

I don't think many people would take them if they had to hear the truth.

[LemonJam]

you are a concerned artist.


personalDNA
about you
you are an artist

Your appreciation of beauty, ability to think abstractly, and innovativeness make you an ARTIST.

Never one to be tied to a particular way of doing things, you let your imagination guide you in discovering different possibilities.
You would rather seek out new experiences than stick to your everyday habits, taking in as much of the world as possible.
Your eye for beauty and your willingness to consider different perspectives make your creative efforts interesting—even though you may not realize this yourself.
You prefer to think about things before voicing your opinion, considering a wide, diverse range of options.
While there are forms and styles that you prefer, you tend to keep an open mind when it comes to your artistic preferences.
You are curious about things, interested in the "why" more than the “how.”
You have an active imagination that leads you express yourself in a distinct way.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

If you want to be different:
Be more open to risks in your creative efforts, and don't be quick to dismiss the praise of others.
Think about how attention to detail may help you be more sure of yourself.

how you relate to others
you are concerned
Your understanding of others' emotions, your sense of right and wrong, and your skeptical nature make you CONCERNED.

Your observations of your environment, in concert with your clearly defined worldview, leads you to be aware of the feelings of others.
Because you can read people well, and because you can understand their feelings, you are often bothered by others' insensitive behavior.
While you appreciate others' emotional nature, you don't think their emotional concerns should take precedence over their obligations to society.
You prefer to be in smaller groups, as big groups can occasionally get out of hand.
Order and structure are somewhat important to you—you believe that people's feelings are better protected when others are respectful and follow certain societal guidelines.
You tend to share your feelings with a few individuals who are close with you, but otherwise you are a somewhat private person.

If you want to be different:
Let your caring nature allow you to put more trust in people in general—you can have more faith in them without losing your valuable skepticism.

Accurate enough I guess.
