What aspects of personality does this tell me about?
There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.
Openness to Experience/Intellect
        High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.
         You enjoy having novel experiences and seeing things in new ways.     (Your percentile: 88)
 
Conscientiousness
        High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent.
         You are well-organized, and are reliable.     (Your percentile: 64)
 
Extraversion
        High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet.
         You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone.     (Your percentile: 9)
 
Agreeableness
        High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.
         You find it easy to express irritation with others.     (Your percentile: 32)

         You are a generally anxious person and tend to worry about things.     (Your percentile: 97)
 
What do the scores tell me?



In order to provide you with a meaningful comparison, the scores you received have been converted to "percentile scores." This means that your personality score can be directly compared to another group of people who have also taken this personality test.
The percentile scores show you where you score on the five personality dimensions relative to the comparison sample of other people who have taken this test on-line. In other words, your percentile scores indicate the percentage of people who score less than you on each dimension. For example, your Extraversion percentile score is 9, which means that about 9 percent of the people in our comparison sample are less extraverted than you -- in other words, you are strongly introverted. Keep in mind that these percentile scores are relative to our particular sample of people. Thus, your percentile scores may differ if you were compared to another sample (e.g., elderly British people).


"Need for Uniqueness



Need to be unique:3%  
Need to NOT conform:45%  
Willingness to express dissent:32%  
Overall score:22%  

Your Results

  • Need to be unique: You do not feel that you need to be very unique.
  • Need to NOT conform: You prefer to conform to others' standards, but don't mind acting differently occasionally.
  • Willingness to express dissent: You are typically respectful when you disagree, but are willing to speak your mind if it is appropriate.

How do I read my score?

Your scores are percentiles between 1 and 100. The higher the number, the more your personality agrees with the associated comment. Your percentile indicates how you compare against others who have taken this test. Since you have an overall score of 22, this indicates that you have a higher need-for-uniqueness than 21 out of 100 people.
This test was developed by two psychologists in the 1970's to determine an individual's "Need for Uniqueness." It's a real test, based on scientific research, not a so-called purity test like those typically found on the internet.
