Hmm, this test has questions from the similarminds Big 5 test... they are legit rips of those questions actually (here is the link if anyone cares to see- http://similarminds.com/bigfive.html). So social desirability correlates to some Big 5 traits eh?

8
Low Scorers (0-8)
If you scored in this range, you (a) answered most of the questions in a socially undesirable direction, but (b) answered them in a way more honest and true to real life than most people. There are a couple of interesting reasons why you may have answered in this way. One may be that you are very comfortable with who you are; you do not feel discomfort when other people view you as behaving in a socially undesirable way. A second explanation may be that you want to be seen by others as a social rebel, someone who is different. Perhaps, too, it's your way of holding a part of your personality out to others and daring them to reject it. If the first mentioned reason is also true, that you are comfortable with how and who you are, then a low level of social desirability may not cause you any trouble. If, however, answering in a rebellious manner does reflect some difficulties you have in getting along with others, then some of the suggestions listed for high scorers may also be useful for you.

Oh wow, this is actually VERY spot on... every word! I am just trying to be honest.
