My Name is Adam, and I’m a Quiz-aholic

Everything you could ever want to know about my personality, according to a bunch of stupid web quizzes:  

The World’s Shortest Personality Test

You are dreamy, peaceful, and young at heart.
Optimistic and caring, you tend to see the best in people.
You tend to be always smiling — and making others smile.

You are shy and intelligent… and a very hard worker.
You’re also funny, but many people don’t see your funny side.
Your subtle dry humor leaves your close friends in stitches.

I think it’s amusing that this is so at odds with the results of the Enneagram test (last one, bottom of post). Take this very tiny test yourself, and see what you think.

What Pattern is Your Brain?

Your brain is always looking for the connections in life.
You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first.
You’re also good at connecting people - and often play match maker.
You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.”

Take the test here.

How Machiavellian Are You?

You are Somewhat Machiavellian

You’re not going to mow over everyone to get ahead…
But you’re also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself.
You understand how the world works, even when it’s an ugly place.
You just don’t get ugly yourself — unless you have to!

What’s Your Superhero Name?

This is too funny:

Your Superhero Profile

Your Superhero Name is The Alpha Spider
Your Superpower is Dance Dance Revolution
Your Weakness is Cowboys
Your Weapon is Your Star Torch
Your Mode of Transportation is Skis

Enneagram Personality Test Results

This was very different than the last time I took an Enneagram test a few years ago, but then again I’m different than I was then. You can take this test here.

Personality Type & Variant
My Main Type is 8 My Variant is Sexual
8: Eights are natural leaders. Frank and direct with large personalities, they are unlikely to back down to adversity. They motivate others. They have a strong sense of justice and are often the protectors of the weak. 8s can also be domineering tyrants. sx/so/sp: Overall, you score highest on assertive traits (sx), followed by compliant traits (so), and lowest on withdrawn traits (sp).

“Your main type is which ever behavior you utilize most and/or prefer. Your variant reflects your scoring profile on all nine types: so = social variant (compliant, friendly), sx = sexual variant (assertive, intense), sp = self preservation variant (withdrawn, security seeking).”

Enneagram Results Breakdown
Type 1 Perfectionism |||||||||| 38%
Type 2 Helpfulness |||||||||||||||| 62%
Type 3 Image Focus |||||||||| 38%
Type 4 Hypersensitivity |||||| 26%
Type 5 Detachment |||||| 30%
Type 6 Anxiety |||||||||||||| 54%
Type 7 Adventurousness |||||||||||||||| 62%
Type 8 Aggressiveness |||||||||||||||| 70%
Type 9 Calmness |||||||||||||||| 62%

It was a pretty tight race for which type I scored most strongly in. I guess that means I’m well-rounded or something.

My Top Five Types
Type Score Type’s Behavior Motivation
8 17 I must be strong and in control to be happy.
2 15 I must be helpful and caring to be happy.
7 15 I must be high and entertained to be happy.
9 15 I must be peaceful and easy to get along with to be happy.
6 13 I must be secure and safe to be happy.

(Props: I got the itch to take most of these test from Rishma’s Blog, which I found through Photo Matt)

  1. I stumbled upon your blog site accidentally. I am impressed by how easy it is to use and also I’ve learned something, most notably, what “plug-ins” do. You’re a cute guy with a colorful, breezy style, yet solid. I’d agree you seem like an Enneagram 8 maybe a 7 wing? If you were slightly older, like by maybe 15 years, you would be my heart throb. Have fun with the blog. I’m just learning what this whole thing is. Good luck with your writing as well!
