Saw this personality test on saitenyo's journal: http://www.signalpatterns.com/psych_central/
Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you
react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your
feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later
wish you could take back.
You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.
Introspective
You like your own company; you're a very interesting
person. Tracking your own mental processes, knowing what you're thinking
and why you do what you do, is important to you. Often, what's going on
in your mind is more compelling than what's going on outside. For the
most part, those with a high score on the "introspective" trait enjoy
reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary
activities.
You are not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; you never feel bored when you are by yourself.
Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that
they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life.
You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on
the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic
professions, enjoy domestic activities - doing things around the house -
and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
You
don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not
one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as
long as it does its job.
Sympathetic
You have a knack for knowing what's going on in the
hearts and minds of those around you, without their having to tell you
explicitly. People tend to turn to you with their problems because they
know you care, and that you will likely offer good advice and a helping
hand.
You do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves.
Curious
You like to get to the bottom of things. You're not content knowing what someone did; you want to know why they did it.
You
don't simply take things as they are and move on; you're not content
skimming along on the surface; you don't feel you're wasting time by
digging for the meaning of things.
Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the
world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside
your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.
You
don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the
program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or
telling the world what you're thinking about.
Solitary
You are a private person, not very comfortable in a big group, and view excessive socializing as a waste of time.
You
not prefer hanging out with others to spending time alone; you do not
tend to feel at home in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.
Cooperative
You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.
You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.
Understanding
You are willing to take the time to find out what's going
on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good
listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful,
honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the
"understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about
charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.
Empathetic
You are in touch with your own feelings, which helps put you in touch with the feelings of others.
You
don't buy the logic that your happiness comes ahead of everyone else's
because unless you're happy you're incapable of making anyone else
happy.
