Very detailed Big Five test (OCEAN)

I posted the same thing on the SPD forum. It's just me yet again wanting to compare differences between AvPDs and SPDs.

It's from the site "mary" which has tons of personality tests. The "goal" of the site is to find compatible people to form couples, but you can completely drop that part and just go for their "main" test that is the BIG 5 long version. Have some patience, as this test is 120 questions.

All their tens of other tests are just sub-sections of the BIG 5.

http://compatibility.mary.com/questions ... ~t-27.html

I think the test is accurate, and very interresting in that it divides the 5 categories in sub-categories.

Here is what it gave for me, in some ways it just screams SPD...:

Mmm... since I am not "completely" against the idea of getting into a relationship, from the test it seems that I lack every single emotion except depression, then it seems "this guy" from those 2 videos could be a good overview of myself:

Now... don't tell me he isn't pimp!

Looks interesting but I can't seem to get the whole test...it keeps asking for my email address to send me the results after like five questions, and then when I try to see the results it takes me to more questions. Am I supposed to keep doing that until I've done them all and then it'll actually give my results?

Yeah. I just used my "spam" email adress. They don't seem to spam though, they just confirm you registered. Also I don't even think you HAVE to have an email adress to check your scores. In my case it was just displayed in the last page.

Ok I got through it but it gave me 1 in every subcategory...do you have to pay to get the real results or something?

Eh, certainly not, I wouldn't link to a pay-for site! Especially for something that is really just for my personal curiosity...

Not sure why you would get a 1 in every subcategory, unless it happens to be true by some unexpected coincidence. Try again later if possible... I would like to get some "avoidant" results... already 3 people did it on the schizoids forum!

Avoidants wouldn't want to bow down to schizoids wouldn't they?

Hey you never know, if I was a bit richer I might pay for that...it looks like the most interesting personality test like that I've seen in a long time. Finally, one that realizes not all introverts are created equal!

I know I have a personality disorder but I didn't think my personality would actually flatline! I'll try it again when I have time to get through all those single questions per page. SPDs, it's going down!

So here are my results...

Cheater! You skipped EXTRAVERSION! (BTW if you used a legit email, your scores are saved so you can get them back without retaking the test.)

Almost the same scores as me on this one. I can see that you are a godless liberal too! (From the forums I came to the conclusion that there isn't such a thing as an SPD that is NOT a godless liberal.)

Similar to me on this one, except big split for self-efficacy and orderliness. So I could teach you how to have confidence in your abilities and in exchange you could teach me how to clean my room, workspace, and not make a mess of things but more importantly how to actually bother about it. It's been 4 years I keep telling myself I have to clean my hard drives and backup the data that I really don't want to lose. Then a month ago my computer exploded. I just watched it die and I couldn't quite get myself to be bothered. Then after reparation I noticed that the hard drives are still alive and well, with their contents. Will it be enough of a push to get me to actually backup it? Hell no! And it's not that I don't have 100 blank DVDs waiting for me...

Whoa there... I simply forgot to paste it by mistake, I edited my previous post to include it now. Besides Extraversion? I mean, Extraversion? We ALL know the results are going to be low. One thing I noticed is... The results say you're friendlier than me... I mean, do I suck at socializing THAT badly. I mean to be beaten by an SPD in friendliness.

A godless liberal... I wouldn't exactly say that. I am agnostic... not so much in the "I dunno if god exists" and more like "I don't give a ###$ if god exists because we're still stuck here and life still sucks.". And about politics I have the same policy: "I don't honestly care what happens or who wins because that won't change the fact that life sucks."

You're computer... exploded? As in literally exploded? Well, anyway about orderliness... Yes I do care a lot about order and I do enjoy organizing stuff and I mean it's almost a sexual experience. I can spend hours finding new ways to organize my videogame collection (by console, release date, alphabetical order) and after finding the exact perfect order I feel a deep desire to take it all apart just to have the pleasure of doing it again Even so, my room is a mess. All because of apathy and dysthimia. I can never bring myself to begin something... Although when I do find it in me to do it... I have... well... I have fun. So I'm not sure if I am an orderly person or not...

Well, on the SPD forum there is this entire "secret schizoid" thing where a schizoid lives in a way to hide his SPD and therefore avoids getting too much attention. Those can end up scoring in the 50+ in some extraversion variables. They aren't the "basic schizoid" though.

Ikari Shinji wrote:One thing I noticed is... The results say you're friendlier than me... I mean, do I suck at socializing THAT badly. I mean to be beaten by an SPD in friendliness.

I have always seen SPDs as better at socializing than AvPDs when they have too. Remember that the basic schizoid isn't actually "afraid" of talking or being with people, they just don't have any interests in socializing and can often end up feeling chocked after being around people for too long. In short I see SPDs as having the capacity but not the will to talk to people and AvPDs as having the will but not the capacity to talk. Leading most of the time an SPD to be more silent than a AvPD but then would have no problems talking when they have to. That's the way I feel anyway. SPDs are "more quiet but less shy".
I had no real problem during my oral presentations at school, but of course always ended up with poor grades on the presentation.

Also, unlike AvPD, SPD is actually pretty easy to hide. An AvPD won't be able to hide it because of the stress and anxiety. But usually an SPD don't have that stress or anxiety. If an SPD just stays natural, he will pretty much look like a brickwall, and it can go so far as to make you look like as if you didn't even have a soul. This of course will gather way too much attention, and most SPD will prefer to pretend to be extraverted than to answer the never ending "are you ok?" "are you down?" "are you sleepy?" "are you high?" "OMG did you just have a stroke?". The actual lack of shyness of most SPD can pretty much let them pretend to have virtually any personality. The problem is that if you get "too" expressive and later just don't feel like it, people will end up thinking that the "expressive persona" is "the real one", and the "brickwall" is a mask you put on. A few people will completely REFUSE to accept that maybe the "brickwall" IS the real persona and the expressive one IS the mask. Some schizoids will struggle to find a middle ground, and some others (say, 99% of schizoids) will just think "why bother..." and completely dump the entire concept of trying to socialize without gathering too much attention.

And for the "friendliness". I consider myself a "friendly" person, but by that score they mean your desire and capacity to have friends. I consider that I have maybe 2 or 3 friends, but nowadays it's always them inviting me, and I only go if they really want to see me.

It's not life that sucks, it's the people afflicted by it. The world sucks too, this is why people are attracted by it; it's not the gravity. My theory is proven in that the more a person sucks, the more people are attracted by it.

Only the power supply... I thought at least the motherboard would have died with it, but the entire computer is fine after all.

I actually "like" order, but I cannot bring myself to put things in order... chaos inevitably ends up winning. I mean how can a mere mortal fight against entropy? This view is shared by 100% of the schizoid population.

For example, my emulator ROMs:
I have a directory for them:
d:\games\snes\roms
But then, I have a directory for those I just downloaded (3 years ago or more):
d:\downloads
(this directory also includes files like musics I just downloaded, videos I just downloaded, files I dragged and dropped there by accident and didn't bother to take back.)
But then, I backuped my "D:" hard drive on my C:, and my D: also included a backup of the E: drive that contained a rom directory under downloads, so I also have a few roms there:
C:\D\E\BackupD\Downloads\Roms\SNES

My friend bursts laughing whenever he logs on my computer...
