Jake's a 45, Erin's a 36...Together we make an 81!

Erin sent me one of these 10 question personality tests at work the other day. Now, I enjoy being my own shrink as much as anyone else. I was happy to learn that according to this test I seem reasonably well adjusted (well to other people at least).

I've posted the test for your own pleasure. Have fun analyzing yourself.

This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees.

It's only 10 simple questions, so...... grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers.

OVER 60 POINTS:


Others see you as someone they should "handle with care."
You're seen as vain, self centered, and who is extremely
dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more
like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become
too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS:


Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather
impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to
make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see
you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try
anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an
adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS:


Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly
in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced
not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind,
considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer
them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS:


Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical.
They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest.
Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but
someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and
who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who reallyget
to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in
your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to
get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS:

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you
as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady
plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did
something impulsively or on thespur of the moment, expecting
you to examine everything carefully from every angle and
then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is
caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS:

People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone
who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to
make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with
anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always
sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're
boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.
