INTERPRETATION NOTES

Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted

You are moderately introverted. You have a flexible personality. You are comfortable sitting back and letting others take the spotlight, yet you don't mind if the direction of the conversation is focused on you. Your warm and friendly personality generates respect from others, so if you are put into a leadership role you can certainly handle it. In general, you may not volunteer to speak in front of a group, but if you are in the proper frame of mind, you feel at ease when making a presentation. When you believe in something, you tend to share your thoughts. People enjoy when you do this, because you have a cheerful way about you. At times, you can be adventuresome, but a night home relaxing is just as fun for you.

Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate

You are very considerate. You are a popular person, aren't you? Of course you are. You truly value harmony in dealing with others. People recognize your friendly, generous, and helpful personality. Your easy-going, agreeable nature makes you such a joy to be around. This is especially true in meetings or general conversations. The topic may become heated, but you are considerate of other's feelings and you will find a happy medium in order to placate those around you. This is because you have an optimistic view of human nature and you realize that if you trust people with their decisions that they are not trying to hurt you or take advantage of you. This special and rare quality is also seen in your altruism. You enjoy helping others. To you it is not a sacrifice; to you it is fulfilling to help others in need.

Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious

You are very impulsive. You are an independent thinker. You do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave - you know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously, because you are able to make decisions without endless deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct one in the decision-making process. You tend to be a little more casual, and you do not feel out of sorts when your home or office is not perfectly neat. In general, your life is pleasurable - you know how to have fun and will never be accused of being staid or stuffy.

Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed

You are quite relaxed. You are so well adjusted. No one will ever accuse you of being an emotional basket case. You are able to face reality in a very emotionally stable way. Your calmness is admirable. When others are feeling stress or frustration, you are able to objectively survey the situation and not become frustrated. You are placid and self-assured. Your unflappable personality is a comfort to others who are feeling tense. In fact, in times of stress you are able to think very clearly in order to solve any problem. Your poise in tough situations comes through automatically - its just part of your personality, you do not have to fake it. You do not let pressure bother you at all. In fact, you are able to adapt to any situation in a confident manner. You do not get angry easily and are able to keep your emotions in check.

Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative

You are slightly practical. It is apparent to those who meet you that you are well educated. You are able to speak on a complex level to one audience, but adjust to a more basic level for another. You are bright and capable of thinking logically. On one hand you are down-to-earth and traditional, while on the other hand you are creative and imaginative. Sometimes you feel more comfortable with familiarity and routine in your life, other times new and novel experiences are more enjoyable. You are not afraid to try new things. You tend to like to do a variety of different activities, so you do not grow bored.

The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract

You are very abstract in your thinking. You tend to be quick to grasp ideas, are a fast learner and intelligent. You possess a hallmark of intelligence that potentially separates human beings from earlier life forms, the ability to think about future consequences before acting on an impulse. Your reasoning activity involves contemplation of long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to these goals, and persisting toward one's goals in the face of short-lived impulses to the contrary. You also have keen interests in intellectual matters and love to play with ideas and think theoretically. You tend to be open-minded to new and unusual ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. You often enjoy riddles, puzzles, and brainteasers.
