I got a 49 and found the assessment pretty efficient. What did you all make on this?

Dr Phil's Test:

Here ya go .. try this. Below is Dr Phil's test. (Dr.. Phil scored 55;
he did this test on Oprah-she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money
to find this stuff out. Read on, this is very interesting!

Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it only
takes a few minutes.

Answers are for who you are now...... not who you were in the past.
Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the
Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps
them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective
employees..

10. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as someone they should "handle with care.
"You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may
admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust
you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather
impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes
chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company
because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the
center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding;
someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and
practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not
a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's
extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty
in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long
time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see
you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It
would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on
the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully
from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this
reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,
someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make
the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't
exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well
know that you aren't.

I got 36, but it wasn't really suitable for me, as I was unable to answer the questions to get an accurate solution! I only walk slowly because I have a terrible injury and my dreams didn't match to any that were there!

Good fun to do though!

I got 45...41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the
center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding;

I think that fits me pretty well, and I believe everything Dr. Phil says. I wish I had included him in my "5 people you would have brunch with" question in my spotlight. Dr. Phil is tha man!!!

I'm a 40 although I'm not sure agree with the blurb that goes along with it. I also find the answers on this not really covering all the bases. So that may color the results.

In the body language question, none of that matched what I do, which is wave my hands/arms around frantically while talking.


I got a 41.

I got a 50...

BUT some of the answer I felt there was an in-between or an my answer wasn't there!
For example I always have wacky dreams (but no characteristics of the ones they described)...
and I don't hold my hands when talking to others like in their answers...
and when I "arrive" it was neither a or b... more in between


Yeah, I'm the unique one

I'm a 43. Have you noticed we are all in the same section, except one 36 and one 40, both of whom felt the questions and answers didn't fit them?!? Is it that we are choosing to have cats as pets, or are they choosing people with certain characteristics!!?!!

Kinda freaky!
