Your cognitive style is... Intellectual
In your thinking, you tend to prefer ideas and concepts over facts and realities.

In your spare time, you often enjoy activities that allow you to explore new ideas and improve your mind.

Your organizational style is... Flexible
You tend to go with the flow and take life as it comes. You are not a planner, preferring instead to see how things shape up before deciding on a course of action. You may sometimes be distractible and impulsive, and neglect to set long-term goals. But when it comes to enjoying life, you always win the prize.

Your energy style is... Ambiverted
You may feel a little left out of the Extravert/Introvert controversy, because truthfully, you’re right smack in the middle.

Your stress management style is... Responsive
You consider yourself a realist in outlook. Not overly worried, but not totally carefree either, you take a pragmatic approach to evaluating risk.

On the other hand, you don’t let yourself be controlled by fear, understanding that without taking a few chances, life isn’t worth living.

Your interpersonal style is... Collaborative
When your needs conflict with the needs of others, you tend to negotiate a compromise that works for all parties. While you don’t take advantage of other people, you’re not a doormat either, and you usually look for a balance between your interests and the interests of others.

[Saturnal Snowqueen]

Your cognitive style is... Pragmatic
In your thinking, you strike a balance between creativity and practicality. You can be imaginative when the situation calls for it, but never so much that your head is lost in the clouds. On the other hand, you’re also able to think through the practical concerns of a situation, and be a hard-headed realist when the need arises.

Your organizational style is... Flexible
You tend to go with the flow and take life as it comes. You are not a planner, preferring instead to see how things shape up before deciding on a course of action. You may sometimes be distractible and impulsive, and neglect to set long-term goals. But when it comes to enjoying life, you always win the prize.

Your energy style is... Introverted
You tend to be reserved and calm in your approach. Although you may enjoy being around people, especially close friends and family members, lots of socializing tends to be draining to you. You are more thoughtful than talkative and tend to be a good listener. You enjoy quiet, independent activities than you can do at your own pace.

Your stress management style is... Reactive
You are a cautious, alert person who is always aware of potential trouble around the bend. Some may call you a pessimist, but you think of yourself as a realist—with so many imminent dangers in the world, it would be foolish to relax. Stress gets under your skin, so you do your best to minimize risk in your life.

[Norrsken]

You guys really took the time taking this quiz. Amazing.

 

[Yuurei]

I thought the results were completely backwards of what I answered...then I reread the description and had to do it all over again.

Below is an overview of your broad characteristics on the 5 major dimensions of personality.

Your cognitive style is... Concrete
You are a down-to-earth sort of person who prefers real life over fantasy or abstract ideas. You tend to like things simple, clear and straightforward. A traditionalist at heart, you look to the past for guidance in most decisions. You spend your time living life, not analyzing it, and you tend to put your energy into projects that have a tangible result.
Your organizational style is... Focused

You are a goal-oriented, hardworking person who always has your eyes on the prize. You are not easily distracted and tend to persist until the job is done. Friends and coworkers know they can rely on you to keep your promises and do your duty. You put work before play and have a serious, responsible attitude.\

Your energy style is... Ambiverted
You may feel a little left out of the Extravert/Introvert controversy, because truthfully, you’re right smack in the middle. You like parties (sometimes) but you also like staying home alone (sometimes). For you, the key to social happiness is balance: some time spent being the social butterfly, and some time spent in quiet reflection.

Your stress management style is... Resilient
You deal with stress well and respond effectively to most of the hurdles in life. You do not easily become depressed, anxious, or angry. You can maintain a cool head in situations that set others off. You tend to take an optimistic approach to life, trusting yourself to manage challenges and difficulties.

Your interpersonal style is... Competitive
You generally see other people as competition and make an effort to come out on top. It’s important to you to be intelligent and quick on your feet so that you don’t miss out on opportunities to better your situation. You can be argumentative and may struggle in environments where you’re expected to be a “team player.”

Agreeableness.

Your cognitive style is... Pragmatic
In your thinking, you strike a balance between creativity and practicality. You can be imaginative when the situation calls for it, but never so much that your head is lost in the clouds.

Your organizational style is... Flexible
You tend to go with the flow and take life as it comes. You are not a planner, preferring instead to see how things shape up before deciding on a course of action. You may sometimes be distractible and impulsive, and neglect to set long-term goals. But when it comes to enjoying life, you always win the prize.


Your energy style is... Introverted
You tend to be reserved and calm in your approach. Although you may enjoy being around people, especially close friends and family members, lots of socializing tends to be draining to you. You are more thoughtful than talkative and tend to be a good listener. You enjoy quiet, independent activities than you can do at your own pace.


Your stress management style is... Responsive
You consider yourself a realist in outlook. Not overly worried, but not totally carefree either, you take a pragmatic approach to evaluating risk. You’re not one to take needless chances, as you’re well aware that there’s danger in the world. On the other hand, you don’t let yourself be controlled by fear, understanding that without taking a few chances, life isn’t worth living.


Your interpersonal style is... Cooperative
You look for ways to get along and agree with others. You are at your best when you are in an environment of harmony and cooperation. You are naturally altruistic and get a lot of satisfaction out of helping other people, especially the ones who need it most. You easily feel compassion and identify with people who are suffering.

Neuroticism Traits

The following 6 traits relate to your level of Neuroticism. Neuroticism is a broad dimension of personality that describes your response to stress. High scorers tend to react with anger, depression, anxiety, and other negative emotions when under stress. Low scorers tend to be resilient and deal with stress easily.


Anxiety
Your level of anxiety is low.

The "fight-or-flight" system of the brain of anxious individuals is too easily and too often engaged. Therefore, people who are high in anxiety often feel like something dangerous is about to happen. They may be afraid of specific situations or be just generally fearful. They feel tense, jittery, and nervous. Individuals low in Anxiety are generally calm and fearless.


Anger
Your level of anger is about average.

Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when things do not go their way. They are sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter when they feel they are being cheated.

Self-conscious individuals are sensitive about what others think of them. Their concern about rejection and ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound others. They are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Their fear that others will criticize or make fun of them are exaggerated and unrealistic, but their awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone is watching and judging them. They do not feel nervous in social situations.


Immoderation
Your level of immoderation is low.

Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and urges that they have difficulty resisting. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather than long-term consequences.

[Schrödinger's Name]

Your cognitive style is... Intellectual
In your thinking, you tend to prefer ideas and concepts over facts and realities. You are comfortable with theory and enjoy using your imagination, especially when it comes to envisioning the possibilities of the future. In your spare time, you often enjoy activities that allow you to explore new ideas and improve your mind.


Your organizational style is... Flexible
You tend to go with the flow and take life as it comes. You are not a planner, preferring instead to see how things shape up before deciding on a course of action. You may sometimes be distractible and impulsive, and neglect to set long-term goals. But when it comes to enjoying life, you always win the prize.


Your energy style is... Ambiverted
You may feel a little left out of the Extravert/Introvert controversy, because truthfully, you’re right smack in the middle. You like parties (sometimes) but you also like staying home alone (sometimes). For you, the key to social happiness is balance: some time spent being the social butterfly, and some time spent in quiet reflection.


Your stress management style is... Reactive
You are a cautious, alert person who is always aware of potential trouble around the bend. Some may call you a pessimist, but you think of yourself as a realist—with so many imminent dangers in the world, it would be foolish to relax. Stress gets under your skin, so you do your best to minimize risk in your life.


Your interpersonal style is... Collaborative
When your needs conflict with the needs of others, you tend to negotiate a compromise that works for all parties. While you don’t take advantage of other people, you’re not a doormat either, and you usually look for a balance between your interests and the interests of others. You’re unlikely to agree to something just for the sake of harmony, but you can also sacrifice yourself for the collective good when it’s necessary.
