My Five Factor Personality Profile

I saw this one at nhaldz' place and had to do it.... It's even pretty accurate.

Of course, it puts me in a mostly flattering light, so I would say that wouldn't I...?

Extroversion: You have low extroversion. You are quiet and reserved in most social situations. A low key, laid back lifestyle is important to you. You tend to bond slowly, over time, with one or two people.

(It's so sweet how they make 'social loser' sound like a good thing....)

Conscientiousness: You have medium conscientiousness. You're generally good at balancing work and play

(and also really good with playing at work).

When you need to buckle down, you can usually get tasks done. But you've been known to goof off when you know you can get away with it

(and when I can't....).

Agreeableness: You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance.

(I'm a real hero.)

Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism

(if only).

You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure.

Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is high. In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits

(constantly pushing my sorry butt off the couch).

A great admirer of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.

(Yep.)

Ahem.... You TOO can take The Five Factor Personality Test!

Craig Ferguson, 'If you don't vote, you're a moron'

Oh Craig, how do we love thee...?

The actual voting rant starts about six minutes in....



On the Sept. 10th edition of The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, a new American citizen preparing to vote in his first US election asks, "Are we so lost we have to be sold our own democratic right!?"
