    Most of the Oldham styles sound worse than the actual personality disorders they're based on.

    I also think this idea isn't really a good way to look for potential healthy personality types. Let's say you have an axis of cyanide poisoning from eating apple seeds. At one end is "you swallowed a couple of apple seeds and don't even notice" and the other is "you're dead" with milder symptoms then hospital visits in-between. Not noticing you swallowed an apple seed isn't a milder form of being dead or even being hospitalized even if they're actually on a continuum.

    I couldn't paste my results - I got an error message that I'd posted too many images?

    Anyway, my top three were:

    Dramatic 17/20
    Leisurely 16/20
    Self-Confident 13/20

    I've taken the test before... I'm sensitive 20/20, Serious (18/20) and Leisurely (15/20). I'm basically an overly emotional, depressed slacker. That fits...

    I took this test:
    https://uquiz.com/BLtJuF/your-person...iz?embed=False

    Leisurely Personality Style

    Inalienable rights: leisurely men and women believe in their right to enjoy themselves on their own terms in their own time. They value and protect their comfort, their free time, and their individual pursuit of happiness.  Enough is enough: they agree to play by the rules. They deliver what is expected of them and no more. They expect others to recognize and respect that limit.  The right to resist: leisurely individuals cannot be exploited. They can comfortably resist acceding to demands that they deem unreasonable or above and beyond the call of duty.  Mañana: these individuals are relaxed about time. Unlike type A individuals, they are not obsessed by time urgency or the demands of the clock. To these individuals, haste makes waste and unnecessary anxiety. They are easygoing and optimistic that whatever needs to get done will get done, eventually.  I’m okay: they are not overawed by authority. They accept themselves and their approach to life. They are content with their place in the universe. <b>Leisurely style under stress</b>  Procrastinator: puts off things that need to be done so that deadlines are not met.  Irritable: argumentative when asked to do something he or she does not want to do.  Passive‐aggressive: seems to work deliberately slowly or to do a bad job on tasks that he or she really does not want to do.  Sulky: protests without justification, that others make unreasonable demands on him or her.  Sneaky: avoid obligations by claiming to have “forgotten.” Conceited: believes that he or she is doing a much better job than others think he or she is doing.  Stubborn: resents useful suggestions from others concerning how he or she could be more productive.  Irresponsible: obstructs the efforts of others by failing to do his or her share of the work.  Rebellious: unreasonably criticizes or scorns people in positions of authority

    How do you compare?
