toms Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 The BBC had an interesting programme on personality types on tv tonight, although i thought it looked like mostly rubbish. I took their test though (first one) and came out a Resolver The description matched me almost perfectly, which was a surprise. Anyway, thought some of you might want to try: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/whatamilike/index.shtml the also have a careers test: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/careers/ a morals test: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/morals/ [edit] an interactive lonely hearts ad: .http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/lonelyhearts/index.shtml and a load of others , but i thought the personality test was the most interesting. Summary of Resolvers Good at getting to the heart of a problem and quickly finding a solution Make rational decisions using the facts available Think of themselves as understanding, stable and easy-going May focus on short-term results and lose sight of the big picture though it was the detail that was most interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I took the morals one just now. Results 46116 people have completed this questionaire so far. You scored 34.5 out of a total of 44. Audience's Scores 1 % 1 % 32 % 66 % 0-11 12-22 23-33 34-44 My Results Your score puts you in the mature category of social reasoning and the majority of people will have scores in this range. Thinking here transcends the practicalities of one's preferences and exchanges to an emphasis upon social feeling, caring and conduct. You take into account the consequences of actions for other people, whether for benefit or harm, as a consideration in its own right for deciding how one should act towards others. You emphasise relationships, thinking how you might feel if you were on the receiving end. Empathy is important, as well as compassion. You are likely to expect others to conform to normally expected conduct, reflecting on "common decency" and will think of the chaos caused by laws being broken. You will value, love and respect others, and appreciate some higher values, as well as speaking of the benefits of a clean conscience or pride. I'll take the others ones now. This is rather interesting, some of the questions didn't really have a response I'd like, but they came pretty close. Very interesting stuff. *edit* just finished the career test Results 4738 people have completed this questionnaire so far This questionnaire is designed to get you thinking about the sort of jobs that might suit your style. John Holland's model of vocational choice suggests that people with particular interests and styles tend to favour certain types of jobs. Holland described six main types of person: * Realistic * Conventional * Social * Enterprising * Artistic * Investigative Knowing the types you most (and least) fit can help you think about the types of role that may suit you. Read below to find out what careers you seem to be suited to based on your results in the test: Social Your results suggest that Social type work might suit your interests and preferences. Social types like roles that focus on helping, teaching or supporting others and very much prefer working with people to working with things or ideas. They tend to prefer working in teams and like to feel they are doing something useful. Typical roles for social types include teacher, counsellor, nurse, minister of religion, clinical psychologist or police officer. Realistic Your results suggest that Realistic type work might suit your interests and preferences. Realistic types generally prefer action to words, they like physical activity and may prefer working with things to working with people. They tend to favour jobs where they can work with their hands or produce things, and often like outdoor work. Typical roles that suit Realistic types are gardener, mechanic, driver, electrician, farmer, sportsperson, skilled trades, labourers and some engineering and military roles. Investigative Your results suggest that Investigative type work might suit your interests and preferences. Investigative types prefer thinking to action, they like working with information and may prefer working with ideas rather than with people. They tend to like jobs in which they can research, analyse and solve problems (or come up with new problems!) and prefer using their brains to their interpersonal skills. Typical roles that suit Investigative types are scientist, engineer, laboratory worker, computer programmer, pharmacist and vet. Artistic Your results suggest that Artistic type work is less likely to suit your interests. Artistic types are interested in creativity and art, preferring freedom and independence to following rules and procedures. Self-expression is very important to Artistic types and they may prefer to work alone. Typical roles for Artistic types include artist, singer, designer, photographer, musician, writer and actor. Conventional Your results suggest that Conventional type work is less likely to suit your interests. Conventional types are happy to work within systems and large organisations and tend to focus on accuracy and efficiency, preferring to know what is expected of them. They tend to like things to be organised and predictable and are often involved in roles that involve recording, sorting, documenting and organising. Typical roles for Conventional types include the range of administrative and clerical roles (e.g. in the government and financial sectors) as well as accountancy, banking, bookkeeping, secretarial work and some inspecting roles. *edit* took the personality test Results Your answers suggest you are a Counsellor The four aspects that make up this personality type are: Summary of Counsellors * Search for meaning in their life and develop powerful insights * Are dedicated to helping others reach their potential * Think of themselves as gentle, peaceable and cautious * Others may find it difficult to get to know them More about Counsellors Counsellors have a natural understanding of human relationships and the complexities of life, which they use to help others. They search for meaning in everything and develop complex insights. Counsellors are least likely to describe themselves as atheists, according to a UK survey. Counsellors feel most relaxed and creative when their surroundings are organised. They are deeply private people who only share their insights with trusted friends; however, they will defend their values if challenged. In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Counsellors may withdraw from the people around them or become resentful. Under extreme stress, Counsellors may feel overwhelmed and be driven to organise small parts of their lives such as their kitchen cabinets or their record collection. Counsellors typically prefer a few close relationships to a wide circle of friends. Counsellor Careers Counsellors are often drawn to jobs where they can help people develop emotionally, intellectually or spiritually and where they can use their imagination.

CapNColostomy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Results Your answers suggest you are a Strategist The four aspects that make up this personality type are: Summary of Strategists Quiet, easy-going and intellectually curious Use logical, objective thinking to find original solutions to problems Think of themselves as bright, logical and individualistic May be impractical, forgetting practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping More about Strategists Strategists are quiet people who like to get to the heart of tough problems on their own and come up with innovative solutions. They analyse situations with a sceptical eye and develop ways of measuring everything, including themselves. Strategists are the group most likely to say they are unhappy in their job, according to a UK survey. Strategists are generally easy-going. They are intellectually curious and enjoy abstract ideas. Sometimes they like thinking of a solution to a problem more than taking practical steps to solve it. In situations where they can't use their talents, are unappreciated, or not taken seriously, Strategists may become negatively critical or sarcastic. Under extreme stress, Strategists could be prone to inappropriate, tearful or angry outbursts. Strategists may be insensitive to the emotional needs of others or how their behaviour impacts the people around them. Strategist Careers Strategists are often drawn to technical or scientific careers, where specialist knowledge is required. They also seem to enjoy jobs that involve long-term planning, abstract thinking or design. Yeah, I guess so. Whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will value, love and respect others, and appreciate some higher values, as well as speaking of the benefits of a clean conscience or pride. Background Scores on the questionnaire form a scale that tracks the development of reasoning from childhood through to adulthood about social, ethical and moral issues. The original research using this questionnaire was conducted in the United States by Kohlberg and was followed up by John Gibbs, Karen Basinger and Dick Fuller. Most children make decisions based on the influence of power and authority figures, progressing through an emphasis upon exchange relationships with others, then on to mutual and social expectations. Some people progress to a level where they base their moral reasoning on universal values. Others become fixed at earlier stages depending upon circumstances. But recent research has suggested that it is possible to change the way you reason about your social responsibilities.

This brief questionnaire can't tell you exactly what you should do. It only suggests work areas to think about that may match the way you like to work but it can't tell you whether you have the skills and qualifications for these jobs.

Cpt. Bannon Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 46116 people have completed this questionaire so far. You scored 38.5 out of a total of 44. Audience's Scores 1 % 1 % 32 % 66 % 0-11 12-22 23-33 34-44 My Results Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred." Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility. You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system. However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity. almost dead on.
