BBC online personality survey. Interestingly I scored thusly
Openness - 4.5 / 5
Consienciousness - 4.0 / 5
Extrovertion - 3.9 / 5
Agreeableness - 3.0 / 5
Neurotisicm - 2.1 / 5
I would hope that I am more than 3.0 in agreeableness but nevermind.
Anyone else willing to take / publish their results?

Openness - 3.5 / 5
Consienciousness - 4.3 / 5
Extrovertion - 3.4 / 5
Agreeableness - 4.2 / 5
Neurotisicm - 1.0 / 5
I suppose its pretty much what I expected. (Although my concienciousness score will amuse anyone who knew me as an undergrad! But I've matured somewhat since then.) I suspect that the agreeableness is strongly correlated to my laid back attitude to everything.
HEY! HO! Lets go!

Extrovertion - 2.9 / 5
Agreeableness - 3 / 5

It was a moderately interesting analysis. (Oh dear, that must be my low agreeableness kicking in!
)

bang goes any idea of me being shy!
Reading the descriptions it sounds about right for me.I love doing stuff like that...... any kind of questionnaire that tells me what I'm like fascinates me!
Cool experiment they must be getting a good response on the beebs website.

Heh. I think it's fairly accurate for me, but it's always difficult to be honest: sometimes people tend to idealise the answers they put for the multiple choice / grading tests, but I'm sure at least a couple of people who've already posted here can tell us about all sorts of possible ways the results could be biased.

Officially the most nuerotic. Apparently I work hard have fun and tell it like it is even if I know i'm shooting myself in the foot.

Openness - 3.5 / 5.0
Conscientiousness - 3.7 / 5.0
Extroversion - 3.9 / 5.0
Agreeableness - 3.6 / 5.0
Neuroticism - 4.1 / 5.0
I think the only thing I disagree with is being an extrovert - I think I like the company of fellow humans without being gregarious.

Nope apparently that's me - by a long long way.
I suppose nothing that I didn't know about.

I've just realised Liz was the only one to spell conscientiousness correctly, whereas everyone else copied Mike's text to use as a template (there's some irony in there somewhere). And that I'm mostly surrounded by extroverts... not in the physical sense, unless I have a lot of extroverted ninjas hiding in my room.

It is probably because everyone else copied my original (and wrong) spelling!
