You are trying to hide your "loving" nature. Now we know the truth.

yeah this isn't really me.

 

[Hawthorne]

If it's about Big 5 then looking at those 5:
Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Emotional range

"If" huh? I guess I didn't realize the analysis was exclusively focused on the Big 5. Thanks for clarifying.

I could misunderstood your post :/

Still I don't think that needs or values are suppose to be somehow related to the first mode.

I ran it on my forum posts and on my FaceBook post and got different results.

TypoC: http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/personalitytest.php?do=results&id=sr0TZRX26S
Harmony-seeking
Sympathetic
Pensive
Practical
Self-conscious

FaceBook: http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/personalitytest.php?do=results&id=t659CZbMoQ
Sympathetic
Conserving
Outgoing
Uncompromising
Altruistic

I want an award for my 57% Conscientiousness on FaceBook. (Just ignore the 4% from my posts here, please.)

It does make me curious though [MENTION=8936]highlander[/MENTION], I'm sure you don't care to divulge all the secrets but any high level summary you can give re how Conscientiousness is being determined? FB results are polar opposite of TypC. I can see how I may do things slightly differently or share differdnt things for sure, depending on medium, but it's still a huge difference.

It might be an issue with definitions. The way the API works is that it evaluates six facets as part of conscientiousness.

Achievement striving
Cautiousness
Dutifulness
Orderliness
Self-discipline
Self-efficacy

Conscientiousness is defined as follows: "High scores on conscientiousness include a strong ability to regulate and control ones behavior. Individuals possessing this trait tend towards an achievement orientation and being organized, thorough and planful. Individuals with lower scores tend towards being more impulsive and less organized."

I too got a lower score than I expected on conscientiousness too. I received:

Conscientiousness 34%
Achievement striving 49%
Cautiousness 93%
Dutifulness 10%
Orderliness 15%
Self-discipline 7%
Self-efficacy 48%

Looking at one of the items - Achievement Striving - I feel like my score should be much higher because of how I would judge achievement. What does achievement mean though? Here are two related concepts from Clifton Strengths Finder:


Achiever - Simply defined, a person with the StrengthsFinder theme of Achiever is known for having a great stamina for hard work. In fact, Achievers enjoy working hard and they also gain momentum with accomplishing more and more work. Someone with the strength of Achiever has a particular motivation, drive and determination to achieve something with her time. You may recognize an Achiever because he seems to be in constant motion, or activity, or with different types of projects. Think of an Achiever as an endurance athlete when it comes to getting things done. Once an Achiever gets started, they seem to have a unique pace to getting their work done. And this pace, different with each person, can be maintained over a great deal of time. An Achiever likes to set goals, and usually creates lists of things that need to be done to accomplish these goals. Lists and goals can be made for daily activities, projects, future goals, relationships, or even for accomplishments. The Achiever list-makers are able to work productively and efficiently, anxiously or eagerly moving through the steps. Check. Check. Check. A sense of ‘celebration’ with what has been accomplished.

Significance - You want to be very significant in the eyes of other people. In the truest sense of the word you want to be recognized. You want to be heard. You want to stand out. You want to be known. In particular, you want to be known and appreciated for the unique strengths you bring. You feel a need to be admired as credible, professional, and successful. Likewise, you want to associate with others who are credible, professional, and successful. And if they aren't, you will push them to achieve until they are. Or you will move on. An independent spirit, you want your work to be a way of life rather than a job, and in that work you want to be given free rein, the leeway to do things your way. Your yearnings feel intense to you, and you honor those yearnings. And so your life is filled with goals, achievements, or qualifications that you crave. Whatever your focus -- and each person is distinct -- your Significance theme will keep pulling you upward, away from the mediocre toward the exceptional. It is the theme that keeps you reaching.


In Clifton, I'm very high on Achiever but not so high on significance. I suspect the test thinks I don't have an achievement orientation because I don't brag about achievements.

I remember taking another test a few years ago; Unfortunately the test no longer exists and I was unable to obtain the source code for it (site went down and it was lost).

http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/members/highlander/albums/assessment-results/5259-5/

Those results resonated strongly with me. I do see commonality between the two results. Very high openness. I question why the assertiveness score is so low on our test vs. what one came up with. I tend to communicate in a style that is not directive because I've learned people don't like to be told what to do.

59% Conscientiousness on Facebook for me, compared to the forum score of 6%. Aha, there's a pattern, 2% difference in the increase for both areas ...

 

[Galena]

Harmony seeking, self conscious, sympathetic, practical, spiritual: 50/50, yes and no.

Openness: 50%
Conscientiousness: 7%
Extraversion: 29%
Agreeableness: 42%
Emotional Range: 96%

The sub-scores are dicier, but these general ones check out except that I would expect conscientiousness to come out at around 50% if not higher. But then again, I push myself so hard in conscientiousness because I have deeper core tendencies that are quite the opposite, and my relationship with those tendencies is not nice. Then again again, that metric seems to be screwy for everybody.

Thanks. So yeah, the test is looking at words used, posting style and content to determine these categories.

In the actual test, I am usually around the 40-50 mark on Conscientiousness.

Via FB especially, I could see why my score is on the higher side, as I have a bit of a side business and half of my posts, or more, are related to that. Also, I post things I've done or places I go, photos from hiking, etc. Thus my achievement and significance elements are def going to be on the higher side in that medium. I bet the same sort of trend would occur for most people. Different mediums, different uses......

 

[PeaceBaby]

Yes, I think that's a great point. I don't talk much about what I "do" here on the forum. I rarely talk about my business, that's for sure.

 

[/DG/]

What is the correct way to do it?

By not cutting off a majority of the results, for one. The test looks at 3 main things...the big five (as well as subscales), and then something referring to needs, and something referring to values.

 

[highlander]

So for Tumblr, I need to make sure it doesn't count re-blogs. The test has been limited to forum members. I will open that up too.

lol I must be quite emotionally volatile, if I'm reading this correctly.

My Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter all fail to work. Mostly because I have 0-3 posts on each.

hmm.. a lot of this is pretty off. much lower on openness than I score, higher on extroversion. the other 3 aren't too far off.

I am surprised by my emotionality scores, only because I tend to be fairly unemotional in responses in general, I think. But I guess I am emotional underneath.

I think the self-discipline score of 1% is funny. And inaccurate.

But overall, I think it's a cool and pretty valid assessment!

 

[Smilephantomhive]

Here is one for my tumblr http://www.typologycentral.com/forums/personalitytest.php?do=results&id=fNztUdTjvY

This makes sense given what I post on it. My highest score was in extraversion though...

So for Tumblr, I need to make sure it doesn't count re-blogs. The test has been limited to forum members. I will open that up too.

I think it does since I know I haven't written 101,193 words worth of blog posts, and I reblog a lot of stuff that would give me the sympathetic, self-improving, and spiritual results.

It is clear I choose a completely different persona depending on where I present myself but I would never have guessed they were that opposite one another.

I scored a whooping 46% conscientiousness on my facebook profile!
