How much would you say this passage is like you? 1 is least like you, 5 is most like you.
Don't we all just fall victim to the Forer effect? All this "typing" seems quite silly to me. I think the only way to find out your true personality is through deep reflection and the opinions of people you are close to. And really, what is the point of typing people other than to divide people into groups? Were personality theories created because we all feel the need to fit in somewhere?
Meh... I apologize... I really don't know where I was going with this, but I would appreciate it if you guys would answer the poll.
You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.
