Testing Testing 1 2 3
i was over on the psychology today website and lo-n-behold, self tests. since they were tests... i took 'em. well, some of 'em.
- emotional iq - my score was 82
There's some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that your Emotional IQ is low. In a practical sense, this means that you are not reaching your full potential. Now for the good news: by learning and practicing new skills and more effective ways of dealing with people, you can significantly improve your EIQ.
- romantic personality - my score was 68
You are a borderline romantic. Though you aren't entirely wooed by splendid shows of love, you can get into a little bit of romance.
Problems may arise if you are matched up with someone who is either more or less romantic than you. If you look forward to Valentine's Day to express your love and your partner doesn't even know when it is, you might end up feeling neglected. If your partner isn't as romantically inclined as you, it might be necessary for you to notice the effort your partner does make. Perhaps s/he doesn't display her affection in screamingly romantic ways, but if you tune into his/her subtle displays of adoration, your heart will soar with appreciation. And you can always encourage your partner to act romantically by rewarding him/her when s/he does try to woo you.
- self disclosure -- my score was 50
In general, your score on the test suggests that, although you may occasionally self-disclose, you tend to avoid sharing too much personal information with other people. You are more likely to open up if someone asks about your thoughts and feelings, if s/he shows interest, or if you know it's a "safe" area to discuss. You might have a tendency to bottle up emotions, which could prove to be unhealthy for you and your relationships. True, self-disclosure can be overdone, but in your case, that's not much of a concern. You might want to give it some thought, and ponder whether increasing your self-disclosing (within reason) could have some beneficial effects.
- my act profile: boy o' boy does this cast me in a negative light.

(score = 14) |
Your ACT Self Profile is a snapshot of your personality. The longest/largest shaded areas show which traits are most prominent and characterize your presence. If, for example, you score 82% on Competitive, it means that 18% of people are more competitive than you are and 81% of people are less competitive. This is a moderately high score compared to other people-higher than four out of five people. A score of 8% on Sociable is a hard sign that you are not a people person, given that 92% of people are more sociable.
