Eysenck's Personality Inventory Test ~ Have FUN! (round two)

I got 12 out of 24 on both and I didn't lie it says.


Phlegmatic

The phlegmatic temperament is traditionally associated with water. People with this temperament may be inward and private, thoughtful, reasonable, calm, patient, caring, and tolerant. They tend to have a rich inner life, seek a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, and be content with themselves. They tend to be steadfast, consistent in their habits, and thus steady and faithful friends.
Pedagogically, their interest is often awakened by experiencing others’ interest in a subject.

People of this temperament may appear somewhat ponderous or clumsy. Their speech tends to be slow or appear hesitant.

Cool.

That was interesting OP, thanks.

Phlegmatic here. The description sounds better than the word tho lol

What did you get?

Choleric

Phlegmatic here too. I think it's neat.

Can you post what it said? I'd be interested to know. Or the link to the page.

Meloncholic.

Do you mind posting a link to the results so we can read them, please? I'm really curious.

Does that sound like you?

Partially. I do not really have an ego and more of an introvert but the rest is pretty close.

I got melancholic.

Pretty accurate

I think the numbers also play a role... if your numbers are lower you have less of that tendency.

I love this smilie...

for the data miners:

<---- Melancholic

The melancholic temperament is traditionally associated with the element of earth. People with this temperament may appear serious, introverted, cautious or even suspicious. They can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world and are susceptible to depression and moodiness. They may be focused and conscientious. They often prefer to do things themselves, both to meet their own standards and because they are not inherently sociable.

Pedagogically, they can be best met by awakening their sympathy for others and the suffering of the world.

3/24 - Extraversion

15/24 - Neuroticism

interesting test OP thanks. seems pretty accurate to me.

You're welcome Anubis. Does this sound like you?

Melancholic.

Surprise... Surprise... Surprise...

So I gather it wasn't a surprise?

yes for sure.

Same...

WOOT! Im'a Choleric! That is so me!

I got 17 of 24 for extraversion.

Choleric

The choleric temperament is traditionally associated with fire. People with this temperament tend to be egocentric and extroverted. They may be excitable, impulsive, and restless, with reserves of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill that in others.
They tend to be task-oriented people and are focused on getting a job done efficiently; their motto is usually “do it now.” They can be ambitious, strong-willed and like to be in charge. They can show leadership, are good at planning, and are often practical and solution-oriented. They appreciate receiving respect and esteem for their work.

Pedagogically, they can be best reached through mutual respect and appropriate challenges that recognize their capacities.

My results were almost the same as yours.

We are so peaceful eh?

I think you hit it on the head for sure!

Thank you for playing!

Haun, you and I share personalities.

Pretty close. On the website, a lot of the text fades into the background, maybe another color would work better.

Extraversion/Introversion

6 out of 24
Extraversion is characterized by being outgoing, talkative, high on positive affect (feeling good), and in need of external stimulation. According to Eysenck’s arousal theory of extraversion, there is an optimal level of cortical arousal, and performance deteriorates as one becomes more or less aroused than this optimal level. Arousal can be measured by skin conductance, brain waves or sweating. At very low and very high levels of arousal, performance is low, but at a better mid-level of arousal, performance is maximized.
Extraverts, according to Eysenck’s theory, are chronically under-aroused and bored and are therefore in need of external stimulation to bring them up to an optimal level of performance. About 16 percent of the population tend to fall in this range.

Introverts, on the other hand, (also about 16 percent of the population) are chronically over-aroused and jittery and are therefore in need of peace and quiet to bring them up to an optimal level of performance.

Most people (about 68 percent of the population) fall in the midrange of the extraversion/introversion continuum, an area referred to as ambiversion.

Neuroticism/Stability

13 out of 24
Neuroticism or emotionality is characterized by high levels of negative affect such as depression and anxiety. Neuroticism, according to Eysenck’s theory, is based on activation thresholds in the sympathetic nervous system or visceral brain. This is the part of the brain that is responsible for the fight-or-flight response in the face of danger. Activation can be measured by heart rate, blood pressure, cold hands, sweating and muscular tension (especially in the forehead).
Neurotic people — who have low activation thresholds, and unable to inhibit or control their emotional reactions, experience negative affect (fight-or-flight) in the face of very minor stressors — are easily nervous or upset.

Emotionally stable people — who have high activation thresholds and good emotional control, experience negative affect only in the face of very major stressors — are calm and collected under pressure.

Lie

3 out of 9
It measures how socially desirable you are trying to be in your answers. Those who score 5 or more on this scale are probably trying to make themselves look good and are not being totally honest in their responses.
