What are your Big Five and various other tests? (read first post)

Why are you people using spoilers?

I see it as clockwise, but then again silhouettes of naked women do not bring out the best of my cognitive processes.

I originally used a spoiler because the image was large & just tried to reduce visual/motion clutter in the topic.  I also "hid" my hint with font size/color for those who wanted to just try and guess why it's a trick question without someone telling them what to look for.

Like I said, I can change her direction at will.  She is spinning neither clockwise nor counterclockwise ... each person who looks decides what direction they "want" to see her spinning.  Notice the axis through her center of gravity that she spins around.  You can shift your viewpoint for it to be slanted "away" from you or "toward" you, and her spin direction then changes.

It's a pretty classic optical illusion; first time I saw it with this dancer, but I've seen several similar examples before.  It's a negative/positive space perception test.  You can view a mask as having a positive or a negative topology; this is just another way to play with the same shift using motion instead of being static.

In fact an optical illusion is still just an illusion - so there's a "correct" answer - the girl's just a 3d model that hasn't any shadow/light applied to it (if it had you'd clearly see how she was really rotating, however you only get the silhouette of the girl and the perspective is chosen so that you can mistake the rotation -  so that if you overlook some details it would be "easy" to get the illusion that she is rotating counter-clockwise). The same's with the example with the mask (in this case it is also a matter of shadows - you can think of the mask as either "in" or "out" depending on the shadows/the postion of the light source) - what's more if you hadn't noticed you need some time to "adjust" to the illusion - because it is an illusion - it has flaws - so in order to overlook them you need a little time I'd guess.

You are wrong sorry. This picture is a well known one and there is no "good" answer as of what way she is rotating. In fact it's the all point, but it's very hard once you think she is turning one side to try to see her the other side.

its true when i saw during my test i went counter clock then i looked now and its clock and then i closed my eyes for a sec and looked again it was counter

Switching the direction is pretty simple to do: ignore most of the moving parts, concentrating only at the pivot (foot) and imagining the direction of the rotation, and the rest would follow.
But I think the immediate direction would correspond to whatever direction you use for standing balance. I can stand on my right foot more comfortably than on my left, so it's easier for me to imagine clockwise rotation (z-axis up).

Your rating for extraversion is 3.8.
Your rating for agreeableness is 3.5.
Your rating for conscientiousness is 3.1
Your rating for neuroticism is 2.4.
Your rating for openness is 4.3.


...frankly, I do not think the test is very accurate. The questions are too short and could be interpreted in different ways depending on context, not to mention most of the questions were in the test at least twice, just reworded a bit. Like "I don't talk much" and "I talk a lot" hehe. Perhaps it was an intention, but you can afford to do such a thing seriously only in tests with hunderths of questions, to have the desirable effect on tested subject

And the ballerina animation is old as time itself it seems, and there is no correct answer, unless you apply shadows. Untill then, it's as you wish.

It's standard for psychometric tests to ask the same question twice in different words. It's a way to check if the testee is giving consistent answers.

I thought my Jung test type was the most accurate description of myself. I couldn't believe my conscientiousness was 4.7 on the first test, though.

[megido-rev.M]

Supposedly the Jung test categorizations are simply best-fit. I can't agree on the part concerning emotions in the INTP description.

[metro.]

All of these are best fit.

They're standardized tests after all...

[rarely_upset]

Extraversion: 3.2 (.1 < average)
Agreeableness: 3.4 (.4 < average)
Conscientiousness: 1.8 (1.9 < average) >_>
Neuroticism: 4.0 (1.3 > average)
Openness: 4.1 (1.0 > average)

This test is most likely inaccurate; people will answer how they want to be instead of how they are. I tried my best to be brutally honest with myself, though. The questions about how often I got upset were amusing.

I'm an ENFP according to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (which my teachers stressed was not a test).

I'm well aware of that, but as I said, it bears meaning in long, complex tests, not like...
1. Do you like cake?
2. Do you not like cake?
3. Don't you like cake?
You first have to set the mind of tested subject on other topics, preferably make him forget the question was asked already. Of course, if you put complex test on the net, noone will answer it. In the world of the internetz, even 5 minutes is pushing it.

The fact that I was not sure about my first answer while answering the repeated questions shows that they have some relevance.
inb4 people insult my memory

Let me insult your memory.
Your memory is real bad and you get confused easily.
Here you go.

I like this version of the OCEAN test, as it has more direct questions. I can't say if it's more or less accurate, but I found I was less hesitant to select an option.

I think it would be more like it if we added 30% to all items.

[froody1911]

Openness 80
Conscientiousness 5
Extraversion 5
Agreeableness 62
Neuroticism 55

[Saras]

Oh right, I tend to juggle between INTP and INTJ, at least what concerns Myers-briggs.

extraversion is 2.5
agreeableness is 2.5
conscientiousness is 3.8
neuroticism is 4.2
openness is 4.3

Well. Openness was a surprise, other than that. I have no idea.

As for the oceans thingie
Openness to Experience/Intellect      You are relatively open to new experiences.        (Your percentile: 70)
Conscientiousness        You are well-organized, and are reliable.        (Your percentile: 69)
Extraversion           You tend to shy away from social situations.        (Your percentile: 22)
Agreeableness           You find it easy to criticize others.        (Your percentile: 10)
Neuroticism            You probably remain calm, even in tense situations.        (Your percentile: 3)

Gee, the neuroticism one is a bit off on one of them.

[metro.]

Openness to Experience/Intellect: You are somewhat conventional.        (Your percentile: 20)

This one is quite good...

According to those scores, it seems you would be extremely happy to live alone forever.
