What are your Big Five and various other tests? (read first post)
Burkingam:
Nah I think you just don't understand what it means by "Neuroticism".
megido-rev.M:
Although I'm keen on this kind of stuff, with Q/A this complex, circumstantial, or purely hypothetical the results will always be left up to interpretation regardless of how the numbers are measured.
Anyway, let's see whether I can make sense of my results:
Extraversion = 1.8 : 0.7 points less than 2.5, sounds OK to me.
Agreeableness = 3.3 : just 0.8 more than 2.5 -- anymore would simply be off.
Conscientiousness = 3.5 : me exceeding expectations vs. my nonchalance is roughly 2:1.
Neuroticism = 2.5 : [stable] two-end thinking.
Openness = 4.2 : remainder falls under "I don't care".
(mis)attributing causation = 1.8 : supposedly this means my concern is on the problem slightly more than the person at fault.
catastrophic evaluating = 2.8 : me berserk vs. my nonchalance is roughly 3:2.
(over)generalizing = 2.8 : tend to try drawing reasonably accurate generalizations all the time, so expected higher score.
demandingness = 3.9 : just enough to not have anger management issues?
inflammatory labeling = 2.3 : passive aggressiveness?
adaptive = 2.9 : falls behind my demandingness by 1 point?

According to the Jung test I fall under INTP, which sounds about right.
Burkingam:
The Holland Codes says Social-Artistic-Investigative. I'm pretty sure Investigative should be first but other than that I think that's about right.

Same test has me as Conventional-Artistic-Investigative. Which on the surface sounds contradictory, but I've long been aware that I enjoy working with data, but at the same time I have a creative streak. A lot of times I feel conflicted or frustrated, because I think I have some untapped creative potential, but I lack the self-discipline to pursue my interests effectively. But I'm good with data, and a man's gotta have a job, so my career has taken me in the opposite direction. I enjoy working within a structured environment, but rules & procedures have to make logical sense to me, or I tend to ignore them.
I enjoy these various personality tests you've been sharing here. (I'm too lazy to go look for these myself.)
megido-rev.M:
Mine is Realistic-Artistic-Investigative, which I think is pretty precise when viewing it as active-latent-passive.
It's funny how the descriptions are slightly conflicting:
REALISTIC: "They tend to be interested in scientific or mechanical rather than cultural and aesthetic areas"
ARTISTIC: "They like to think, organize and understand artistic and cultural areas"
REALISTIC: "prefer to work a problem through by doing something, rather than talking about it, or sitting and thinking about it"
INVESTIGATIVE: "like to think and observe rather than act"
