I just found this link - I need to explore PC more often!!
http://psychcentral.com/personality-patterns/

Anyway, I was amazed at just how very accurate my results are! This describes me perfectly!!!

~~~~~~~~~
Reserved

You are somewhat shy, or at least unwilling to spend all your time socializing. With you it's true that "still waters run deep," which is why many of your acquaintances never get to know you well.
You are not always ready to talk at the drop of a hat. Whether you're in the office or at a party, you're not likely to be found gabbing away in the middle of a group of people.

Scrupulous

You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.
You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.

Passionate

You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.
You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.

Introspective

You like your own company; you're a very interesting person. Tracking your own mental processes, knowing what you're thinking and why you do what you do, is important to you. Often, what's going on in your mind is more compelling than what's going on outside. For the most part, those with a high score on the "introspective" trait enjoy reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary activities.
You are not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; you never feel bored when you are by yourself.

Curious

You like to get to the bottom of things. You're not content knowing what someone did; you want to know why they did it.
You don't simply take things as they are and move on; you're not content skimming along on the surface; you don't feel you're wasting time by digging for the meaning of things.

Acquiescent

You are comfortable in your own skin and don't need to throw your weight around. You'll often choose to be the one who is told what to do rather than the one who's doing the telling, and you sometimes avoid confrontations even if it means that you won't get your way.
You aren't interested in making others bend to your will or in always dishing out criticism. You're not a pushy person, and you like it that way.

Unsettled

You may be comfortable on your home turf, but you have a tendency to be self-conscious in an unfamiliar environment. While you're usually at ease with your friends, you can be a little skittish around strangers.
You usually don't feel at home in unfamiliar settings or with new people. When you get rattled, you don't necessarily recover instantly.

Discreet

You tend to hold onto your thoughts until you have something important to say, and even then you're not comfortable imposing your ideas on others unless you know they're truly interested.
You don't enjoy talking for the sake of talking, and you have no desire to be the center of attention.

Self-Contained

You like to stick to your own business and leave the power struggles to others; you know who you are and what you believe in, but you don't see any reason to impose your values on everyone else.
You generally don't get involved in organizing or motivating people, and you don't feel the need to always be seen as a big public decision-maker.

Cooperative

You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning.
You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time.

So I am seriously considering taking my print out to session with me.
But I am afraid my T will say "I already know this about you."
Or he may say "That is a surprise to me!" Either way, I will not like those answers. Maybe he will say something different... But right now I am terrified of my T still.

Has anyone else taken a personality test in to show T without them asking you to take one?

Also, if anyone else wants to post what they end up with, that would be cool to read

[PTSDlovemycats]

That is so cool WePow! I am gonna go take a look at that. Thanks for sharing!!

[PTSDlovemycats]

Ok, I took the quiz, These are my results;

Friendly
Accessible
Impulsive
Warm
Understanding
Empathetic
Outgoing
Sociable
Extroverted
Poised

I don't think I need to show it to my T as I am pretty sure that she knows all of these things about me already. It was fun though and pretty darn accurate as well. Thanks again WePow!

Your test results reflect how you view yourself. I think it is always interesting to compare how we view ourselves with how others view us (how we present to them). So, yes, take it to your T! Maybe you will learn something. Knowing how others view us is really important for getting along in life, love, work, etc. I know that how others view me is sometimes not how I feel myself to be. Just last week, someone seemed amazed when I mentioned that I was shy, LOL. I do feel very shy. I am introverted. But people generally don't see me that way, I think because I have learned to cope outwardly with the symptoms pretty well. I force myself to interact, speak up, etc., even though it is often quite an effort and I don't want to be doing it. It's kind of like taking a spoonful of castor oil.

Before I run off to take the test....

What would you like T to say? I was imagining that if I took the test and came up with *me* and I brought it to T, he would say "yep, that's you! what a test!" or something like that. And if it wasn't *me*, he'd probably laugh and we'd make up a story together of what it would be like if I *was* like that.

And of course, he's my T, so before he said ANYTHING, I'm pretty positive he would say "before I tell you my thoughts, and I promise I will, what do YOU think about your results?". T's!!!

What do you WISH he would say, WePow??

It is basically a version of the Big 5 personality test if you look the little color pinwheel at the end.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Fiv...onality_traits
Psychologists actually do use this. They test based on openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism

This test is basically describing the same thing but in less black and white terms. It might be really interesting to see what a T makes of it and if it matches up..

[Chronic]

I took the Sanity Test on here and showed it to my T a while ago. There things he agreed with and already knew but some that he completely disagreed with, having known me a while.

I like to take these tests too but wouldnt take them as gospel!

I'm not sure what I wish he would say. Maybe something like "That really does sound like the you that I know. Do you think it sounds like you?"

I suppose I just don't want him to brush it off as being either something that he doesn't think fits - which would show me that he hasn't heard a word I have said in the past two years - or brush it off like he already knows me so well that he could have rolled that all off to me in his sleep (which would feel like he thinks there is nothing about me left to disclose). hmmm... interesting... I sense there is something deeper to what my answer to you guys is... yep... it feels like there is.

I found that funny as well - nothing bad

[Perna]

I often took such tests to T; if nothing else, gives something to talk about a bit easier?

these are mine, which I like, and would like to think are probably mostly true......that is, when I am able to look at the good self part of me, I can believe there is some truth to these wonderful and kindly descriptive words (although I will maybe never believe that they are completely true, it is certainly the good kind of view I want to be able to believe, that I want to others to see as true too....but I don't really think I am as good as those words themselves are....no way)

and certainly, if you want to take them to T, take them to T......if I took these to T, I think she would tell me where there was truth or that there was truth in these things, because she sees both the good and not so good in me and has an honest, balanced view of me that's hard for me to have of myself. I think she would say too that it would be fair to myself to allow myself to believe some of these good things about me.
