My GPA is 3.D'oh!

I haven't been graded for a while, you know, like on the Grade Point Average Percent Letter Grade Equivalent Scale...0 to 49% is an F or a 0. GPA
so, when I got this e-mail, I decided to enroll.

Here is an invitation to participate in an online research study being conducted by Mr. Tal Yarkoni under the supervision of Dr. Simine Vazire at Washington University in St. Louis. The study investigates the relation between people's personality and the content and style of their writing, and has been approved by the Washington University Human Research Protection Office.

The study consists of a single personality questionnaire assessing your personality and background, as well as information about your blog (if you have one). You can choose to participate in either a short or a long version of the study, so your participation can take as little as 10 minutes or as long as 30-40 minutes.

This is a one-time solicitation, and you will NOT receive any further e-mail from us. We obtained your e-mail address from your blog strictly for one-time use, and we will not maintain any further record of your contact information.

Here is my report card. 
D (56%) in Neuroticism or Emotional Instability..that's good right? Isn't it? Oh gawd I hope so..it said instability didn't it? Now I'm worried. Damnit!
B (70%) in Agreeableness..sheesh what a sycophantic little suckup!
B (72%) in Openess to Experience..I'll try anything ..twice.
B (72%) in Consciencousness..how does one Blog whilst unconscious..duh!
A+ (98%) in Extraversion..who me? Go on! Truth be told this blog persona thingamabob really is an extraversion of me. 

So that gives me a 73% average or a solid "B"..
my GPA is 3.D'oh!

Here is the test... 


 I suppose the content and writing style kinda matches my personality..why wouldn't it? Most bloggers create a blog that reflects the dominant side of their personality, that's why it is so interesting.

I want to find a test that gauges how well a blogger's cyberpersona reflects their real world/true identity. My blog persona prolly reflects how I would like others to see myself but I'm certain that most of you can spot the "leaking" and can ascertain a fairly accurate idea of how mundane and pedestrian I really am.  

I'm all about learning..i'm just not that fussy about the content.
So for moi, Blogging is a great way to discover how others interpret LIFE and evaluate "your take". 


Did you take the test..What did you get?

  2. "73% average or a solid B"

    73 is barely a C. Is there a curve in there somewhere?

    Oh Hai MJ!

  4. I did the test too... and am gonna post about it.

    We got some pretty different scores... you and I! Except on the Agreeableness... we both scored 98%!!!

    I think your 56% in Neuroticism is a bad thing... the higher the score, the worse it is. Mine is 18.9%... You, Mr Germaphobe, have issues... I do not. ;-p

  5. K... I did a post on my scores here and did a little comparison to Donn's scores.

    Also tweaked the first score to reflect a more accurate overall percentage.

  7. MJTena? What the hell does Tena mean?

    HAI XLThe U of Manitoba uses this conversion..

    4.5 90-100% A+
    4.00 80-89% A
    3.50 75-79% B+
    3.00 70-74% B
    2.50 65-69% C+
    2.00 60-64% C
    1.00 50-59% D
    0.00 0-49% F

    So here I would get a "B".

    SCARLSHa what a larf eh?

  10. DCMCMLVII: I think you skewed your test. Go, take another one. And come back to show it to me..the results..that is.

    We can talk about that somewhere private. Not here where everycan read your blog.

    Go figure!

    BTW, I wrote the next part of the road trip.

    AND I LOST MY OTHER BLOG TO MALWARE. GOOGLE DELETED IT WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY WARNING,INFORMATION OR INTIMATION.I THOUGHT I WAS INVINCIBLE. I HAD NO BACK UP FOR THAT, ALTHOUGH I CAN READ MY POSTS IN THE GOOGLE READER. (I DO HAVE A MIRROR BLOG FOR THIS ONE)

    COME HOLD MY HAND AND CONSOLE ME.
