this test was difficult, trying to fit yourself into their boxes. However, I'm surprised at how accurately it seemed to fit me, what with my emphasis on peace-making right now. What's more interesting, is they actually evaluate personalities and want everyone to be a five, which is somehow the mean. I don't think I understood it completely though. They gave me a mean and said I could evaluate myself to see how far from the mean I am, and points to look at whether I was above the mean or below the mean. I have many questions about this. Who is the perfect mean? Who determined this is a perfect human being? I suspect this is more arbitrary than the site would like to admit. Furthermore, although my mean was 5.15 which is pretty close to 5, my personality score of a 9 was quite a distance from 9. And the description for 5 was not so stellar either. I could be confusing myself more. At any rate, I suppose all personality tests should be taken with some salt. They allow you to see yourself a bit better, but are never perfect. Some parts of our personality we may never be able to change. Some are all too easily changeable. I know I'm working on parts of mine, trying to be a better peacemaker. And I certainly like the description of being "calm, laid-back, and optimistic." I will probably always think I am a bit better than most other people though. Sometimes I think I have too much confidence in myself, but it's better than none.
