So I took the Dr Phil Personality Quiz

[Gilly]

"Your Score: 45

Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you. However, they don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you."

This is the first quiz I've taken that gives results based on other people's perspectives (go figure from an LSI). Sounds like a description of weak Fi to me. This is about other people's perceptions, so I should probably ask: does it work for me?

The Loyal Friend

Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

my results.

The Lively Center of Attention

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

Man, I knew he was a douche, but fucking christ...

This guy is fucked up, he needs a shrink more than me (and that's saying something ). He can't even practice; I'm surprised his degrees haven't been revoked. Sounds like one of those guys who gets through the day by muttering psychotic maxims under his breath and convincing himself that Wheaties are the food of the gods...LSI ftw

[Gilly]

good god I love this pic!!

gilly you know you want to be a japanese EIE kthx (:

If I'm honest, I think I might "rather" be EIE than ILE but barring a drunk SEI annoying me with incessant offers of broiled pork and potatoes tonight, ILE still seems like the best option for now

@dee: Well, the only other piece of shit psychologist I know is either LSI or ESI, so it works to me.

[Gilly]

Christ almighty, what has my gotten me into...

[Jane_Eyre]

I joined Facebook just to take your test. But the stupid thing says something like "to unlock your results you need to invite 8 people". What the heck.

They're technically not allowed to make applications like that anymore...but people still do.

The Natural Leader

Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.


Hmm I don't think I'm much of a leader, really.

What a shit test. I got 44. I agree with it. I wonder why? It's that shit it relies on the Forer effect.

[Joy]

It's that shit it relies on the Forer effect.

Yeah. It also relies too much out of social extroversion.

I scored 40 and got The Loyal Friend. I'm sure this is because I sleep on my back and speak to people with my arms crossed.
