Re: Interesting personality tests

[waxingjaney]

Rationality, Shyness, and Playfulness. That's a hell of a combination.

[Sahrimnir]

My results:

TENDERNESS
You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behaviour, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathise. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

RATIONALITY
You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

ORDERLINESS
You love it when everything is neat and tidy: when there is a proper way of doing things, and you can tick things off the to-do list and know where everything is. So others, at times, are to you unbearably sloppy and messy. And you run into things that can’t be ordered (a child, a partner, a colleague at work) which drives you slightly nuts. But your desire for order is a good one when it is focussed where it is needed and when you’re okay with a bit of mess.

Tenderness is totally me. Rationality I guess could be accurate. Orderliness though? That seems to be about as far away from me as it guess.

[eselle28]

Well, that's an interesting test. It doesn't look like anyone else has gotten the exhibitionism one yet. I think it's sort of right, though it's also a bit odd because I am not an extrovert.

Rationality

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

Reverence

One part of you dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances you can flourish by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a willing submission to your own conscience. In the outside world, you might get frustrated searching for something worth believing in – a country, a person, a company – but you will always be open to feeling respect, admiration and wonder.

Exhibitionism

There’s a strand in your nature which loves making an impression – perhaps with your clothes, or conversation, or in a self-revealing blog or a novel. You like to dramatise yourself, to pose as a unique, perhaps mysterious person, to joke or exaggerate your part in adventures. Though you might more than once have been called a show off, it is actually a generous tendency: you want to please and entertain others. It could be the start of good teaching and leadership.

This very detailed quiz for what D&D character you are is a pretty good one. Very long, though!

I'm apparently a Chaotic Neutral Elf Monk/Wizard (3rd/2nd level) with the following stats:
Strength- 12
Dexterity- 14
Constitution- 10
Intelligence- 17
Wisdom- 13
Charisma- 14

I was skeptical about my class, but the way they described Monk was actually fairly convincing, I'll take it. I have no idea why my charisma's that high based on my answers, and realistically, my strength should be way lower. Dexterity, hmm...I'd be super-high in terms of reflexes, but have zero coordination, so I suppose it averages out okay. Not too sure about being an elf, but I can't think what I'd more likely be, I guess?

[Sahrimnir]

I did it a few years ago, but did it again now. I got the same result!

Lawful Good Human Cleric (3rd Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 12
Dexterity- 11
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 17
Wisdom- 17
Charisma- 13

[Guest]

I got...

True Neutral Human Fighter (3rd Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 11
Dexterity- 11
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 14
Wisdom- 11
Charisma- 12

Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Fighters- Fighters can be many things, from soldiers to criminal enforcers. Some see adventure as a way to get rich, while others use their skills to protect the innocent. Fighters have the best all-around fighting capabilities of the PC classes, and they are trained to use all standard weapons and armor. A fighter's rigorous martial training grants him many bonus feats as he progresses, and high-level fighters have access to special melee maneuvers and exotic weapons not available to any other character.

I'm a:

Lawful Good Human Bard (5th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 10
Dexterity- 10
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 13
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 16

Alignment:
Lawful Good- A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Bards- Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.

---

That's actually not too far off, though I have lingering self-conceptions as a cleric, but I guess adherence to an organized religion is required for that class (and my stupidly low wisdom score! take that, self-image!). I raise an eyebrow at "lawful" since I'm pretty sure I break 1-3 laws every single day, but bards do social magic using words, so I'll take it.

[Robjection]

I am a Lawful Neutral Human Wizard (2nd Level).

Ability Scores:
Strength- 9
Dexterity- 9
Constitution- 13
Intelligence- 14
Wisdom- 12
Charisma- 11

Alignment:
Lawful Neutral- A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Wizards- Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.

Last time I took this I got Sorcerer/Wizard multiclass and I think I had more Intelligence and Dexterity and less Strength and Charisma. I always get Lawful Neutral though.

[nearly_takuan]

Neutral Good Human Wizard/Rogue.

Strength- 14
Dexterity- 15
Constitution- 9
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 9
Charisma- 15

I'm assuming these are heroic romanticized D&D versions of ourselves, not just our regular mortal forms described in D&D terms, because 10 is supposed to be the baseline for most people and having more than a couple of points over that in ever one category is fairly superhuman. Which is to say I would expect to see a stat total between 55 and 65 for myself but I got 77.

I got Elf. Yessssss! And Lawful Neutral is totally correct.

[Enail]

Why am I the only agent of chaos among all these straightlaced, law-abiding people?

[nearly_takuan]

Girlfriend is steadfastly chaotic, but she is also not aware of the Nerdlounge and that's not likely to change really soon.

Yay, chaos party! Time and location to be determined later

[Werel]

I'll be there about halfway through to break it up for improper zoning and failure to obtain a chaos license.

*spontaneous rave, because the man can't keep chaos down*

[Robjection]

One for those of you who are more into the social justice-y sorts of things. YMMV on how much you have to imagine yourself in a suitable position in order to give an answer to some of the questions. With that in mind, I got this result:

You are the EDUCATOR.

You're great at teaching people about the issues – often by modeling anti-oppressive behavior in your own life and in everyday conversations with your friends. Your social media posts should be recorded for everyone to read, and you're always sharing informative articles. The downside is that it can be hard for you to relax when you're spotting oppression everywhere – so remember that you deserve to have fun, and we all have problematic faves.

All the positive stuff in that has me thinking "I wish!" while the more negative stuff towards the end sounds really accurate.

[Werel]

Something about that quiz felt a little off, but:

You are the NURTURER.

Telepathy may be considered a superpower, but it's your empathy that makes you so powerful. Your work often shows up behind the scenes – tuning into people's needs and looking out for your community. But even when you're not in the spotlight, you're playing an essential role. You're often putting other people's needs before your own, so don't forget that you deserve to put yourself first and take care of your own needs, too.

Way too flattering to be accurate. "My worst trait is... I just care too much!"

[reboot]

Actually, I probably should have been the Mechanic, the one who makes sure that the wheels stay on the organization, but my sense of that quiz was that they did not see that as a role, so I got:

You are the VISIONARY.

A little clairvoyance can go a long way in social justice activism. Your strength is analysis, so you understand how our everyday experiences fit into the bigger picture. You have a smart take on the issues we're facing and on strategies for what's coming up next. It's great to look ahead – but also remember to give yourself some time to be in the present moment for your own self-care.

[Wondering]

I also got Educator, which feels true except for the part about how my social media posts are the best things evah. But I do post a lot of articles these days, and I do see oppression everywhere. Even moreso now.

[Enail]

The page won't load for me, so I guess I don't have an Activist Superpower

[Sahrimnir]

Another Educator here. Which is funnily appropriate, because I've actually had people commenting on how much they enjoy all the educational social justice links I post on Facebook.
