Verbally and mentally fluid, you are refreshing and illuminating to those around you. This is occasionally somewhat discounted by the obvious pleasure that you take in exercising your mental acuity. Although generally peaceful you can often take a verbally aggressive tact in relations with the world, which can often be misunderstood by those around you. Innovative in the extreme, you can often think yourself right out of the correct answer to a given problem. Many times you are referred to as your own worst enemy. You tire very quickly of routine and so make poor clerks or administrative help. You also have no respect for authority and little patience for those you regard as inferior, most especially those in charge. Experimentation is your watchword and can occasionally lead to experience for its own sake and shallow decadence. Your thought can sometimes be scattered and disconnected.

Sounds good, but also pretty vague at times.

They said not to link any "story" to the shapes, but with some of the questions,a minimum of interpretation is unavoidable (i.e. one shape penetrating or swallowing another shape, etc.)

 

[Sniffles]

What an odd test.

Quiet and very self-assured, you tend to keep your own council. Pragmatic and practical to a fault, you are not one to worry about the finer points of philosophical discourse. In fact, because you are very much an individualist, you often finds yourself at odds with the established truth or the wishes of the majority. You will often earn the wrath of an employer by taking upon yourself decisions which are rightly those of your manager. You are not one to take credit unless it is deserved. Similarly however, you will also not happily give credit where it is not due. In a romantic relationship you can be very frustrating. While you do care deeply and sincerely, and are willing to work at a relationship, your confidence in your own abilities can on occasion make it difficult to see the world from a partner’s point of view. Quiet and stoic at times, you can drive a more emotional individual completely up the wall. You can become overstressed and fatigued without knowing it. Taking time to rest between bouts of hard work can help to prevent a breakdown later on.

 

[CuriousFeeling]

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.

LOL. Missing a couple points though, like being able to understand people well, and being creative/imaginative, and emotionally sensitive. Was a bit of an odd test... didn't make much sense. The instructions said "The associated questions should be answered without tying these shapes to any narrative or storyline". But I ended up tying the shapes to the implied meaning in the words. Was fun to take, but I'm a bit skeptical of this one.

 

[Aquarelle]

Woah, this test was f-ing weird. "Am I you?"-- pick a shape to answer! "How can you stop them lying to you"--pick a shape to answer!

My personal favorite: "Which one can hear you breathing?" Uhhhh, creepy?

For what it's worth, here are my results:

Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.

Not much is accurate about it, really. The bold part fits; the rest, not so much.

 

[Santosha]

Always happy in a crowd, you love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun. You tend to think in a more holistic manner than many others. Like a crow you are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship. You love to talk or gossip. You are highly invested in the reality of day-to-day life. Practicality is far more important than issues of honor or allegiance. You are a creature of the here and now. You are a natural multi-tasker, often switching mid-thought from one duty to another. You have a flair for presenting your personality in your work, and are known as a great storyteller and natural actor. You are very skilled at taking in a barrage of information and distilling what is most important from it. Naturally charming, you are quick to win new friends. Over stimulation is a danger.

THis is pretty dead on, actually. I think its saying I'm a sensor though?

Allright, so I just took the test again.. just wanting to see if my mood or whatever might affect how angry the "shapes" seemed.. and I got the same dam result! This test just baffles me! I had a two of my friends try it, and they both got results that were pretty similar to them, and could not really be said about all of us. For the love of God, someone dig up some info on Pierley/Redfort or Horton! I find NADA!

Dissociative Affect Test

Not sure if this was posted before, but here's the Pierly/Redford Dissociative Affect Diagnostic, based on a supposed exploration of your brain's affective response system. Certainly an Interesting test, the results were pretty accurate for me, and it's quite a fun test.

What the hell? That was kinda funny. Weird associations. I don't agree with my results, though..

Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring, you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.

I got this same result, but I feel like more of it fits me.

I'm surprised. In my case, this is pretty accurate.

 

[ThatGirl]

I just had a thought.

Maybe these descriptions are more comparable to enneagram than mbti?

 

[Thalassa]

My personal favorite: "Which one can hear you breathing?" Uhhhh, creepy?

I saw one of them breathing.

 

[lunalum]

Those questions don't make any sense at all until fit into a storyline, which the instructions say not to do, so I am lost.

 

[Thalassa]

It's because you're supposed to respond instinctively with reptile brain to the questions.

That's why no story line or "sense" is allowed. You're not supposed to "logic" the test.
