Mostly in the middle

I found this Blogthings “five factor personality test” via Mauigirl’s Meanderings. Sometimes these quizzes come up with some pretty out-of-left-field results, but for me, this one seemed to be just about right on target – read the results, and you’ve already gotten to know me pretty well.


Your Five Factor Personality Profile


Extroversion:

You have low extroversion.

You are quiet and reserved in most social situations.

A low key, laid back lifestyle is important to you.

You tend to bond slowly, over time, with one or two people.

Conscientiousness:

You have medium conscientiousness.

You’re generally good at balancing work and play.

When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done.

But you’ve been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it.

Agreeableness:

You have medium agreeableness.

You’re generally a friendly and trusting person.

But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism.

You get along well with others, as long as they play fair.

Neuroticism:

You have medium neuroticism.

You’re generally cool and collected, but sometimes you do panic.

Little worries or problems can consume you, draining your energy.

Your life is pretty smooth, but there’s a few emotional bumps you’d like to get rid of.

Openness to experience:

Your openness to new experiences is medium.

You are generally broad minded when it come to new things.

But if something crosses a moral line, there’s no way you’ll approve of it.

You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.

How did the quiz turn out for you?

What is Reading, Fundamentally? Suggested by: Thisisnotabookclub What is reading, anyway? Novels, comics, graphic novels, manga, e-books, audiobooks — which of these is reading these days? Are they all reading? Only some of them? What are your personal qualifications for something to be “reading” — why? If something isn’t reading, why not? Does it matter? Does it impact your desire to sample a source if you find out a premise you liked the sound of […]

Weekly Geeks: Telling stories with (motion) pictures – with bonus movie review!

Weekly Geeks: Telling stories with (motion) pictures – with bonus movie review!

This week’s Weekly Geeks topic puts down the books to consider other forms of storytelling. Dewey says: This week’s theme was suggested by Renay. She says, “I thought it would be cool to ask people to talk about other forms of story-telling.” This theme is once again one you could approach several ways. You might want to tell about the forms of storytelling (aside from books) you love. Maybe you enjoy TV shows, movies, music, […]

(You’re my) Soul and Inspiration: A Hump Day Hmm

This week…it’s all about the other guy (or gal). One of the greatest things we all say we find in blogging is community. What post, blog or blogger has inspired you? It could have been a comment, a post, something someone did. Perhaps you’ve become friends. Big or small, if it moved you and caused you to take action in your own life, tell us about it. Tell us what inspired you, and then let […]

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha – this meme’s NOT for you!

I haven’t quite decided whether I plan to see the Sex and the City movie or not. I came late to the TV show since I didn’t have HBO for a few years, but I enjoyed it in a non-obsessive manner. Seeing the movie partly depends on whether anyone wants to make it a girls’ afternoon/night out; failing that, I’ll have to decide whether I want to see it enough to go on my own. […]

Ten on Tuesday: Time’s a-wastin’!

You would think that a Ten on Tuesday topic like “10 Favorite Time Wasters” would be a breeze…but it didn’t turn out that way for me. That isn’t to say I never putter around and waste time, of course. It’s more that I can’t come up with ten specific, different ways that I do it – most of my time-wasting activities fall into fairly broad categories. I’m also inclined to consider something more of a […]

Another post from the e-mail inbox

It’s the unofficial first weekend of summer, a time for relaxing (or so I’m told)…which means taking the easy way out with a post originating in e-mails from non-blogging members of my family – the first two are from my sister, the last one from my uncle. This one’s poaching on Laurie’s “Monday Morning HR Humor” turf again, but hopefully she’ll forgive me. (You never want to be on HR’s bad side.) Corporate Lesson 1A […]

It’s called the Weekend Assignment because John Scalzi originally designed it to give folks something to write on weekends, but times have changed since then. Now the […]

Dr. Freud says* I’m a stable, well-adjusted adult. What does he know? You Are in the Genital Stage of Development According to Dr. Freud, you’ve reached the genital stage of development.

Friday Follies: fill in 123 books

Books vs Movies Suggested by: Superfastreader Books and films both tell stories, but what we want from a book can be different from what we want from a movie. Is this true for you? If so, what’s the difference between a book and a movie? Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the […]
