My Big 5 Personality Test Results

The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension:



Extroversion results were moderately high which suggests you are talkative, optimistic, sociable and affectionate but possibly not very internally grounded.

Friendliness results were high which suggests you are very good natured, trusting, and helpful but possibly too agreeable

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are organized, reliable, neat, and ambitious but possibly not very spontaneous and fun.

Emotional Stability results were moderately low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and nervous.

Openmindedness results were high which suggests you are very intellectual, curious, imaginative but possibly not very practical.

brandon, this is for you, the blog skeptic. hope you enjoy the title babe. ;)

so my boyfriend thinks that blogs are pretty ridiculous. i think he has a valid point if the blog writer really thinks that what they are writing will be entertaining to an audience because i agree, after about two sentences of someone else's random thoughts one becomes acutely aware that they are bored out of their mind and would much rather go back to their own mind where they get to enjoy their own random thoughts and personal fantasies. i think the fun part of blogs comes about when the blog writer forgets that what they are writing is accessible to an audience and unleashes very raw and honest thoughts - that takes skill - to forget or to not care about what other people think of you.

Every blessing turn back to praise

at bible study last night my small group talked about remembering to praise God after he answers your prayer and how easy it is to pray and pray when you want something but then how frequently we forget to praise him when he answers us. as i was driving to work this morning i heard a song on my favorite radio station KLOVE, i know, the ultimate in mom music, and part of the lyrics were "every blessing turn back to praise" and that totally resounded with me and what's been going down in my life. i want my lips to constantly be praising God because i am blessed so abundantly.
keeping a daily journal where i record what i am seeking God about really helps me to look back and go WOW, God answered that prayer request so specifically and so fast and then i can't help but praise him over and over. but then i wonder if that attitude should be adjusted, because honestly i am still surprised when God responds to me, and i don't wait expectantly with confidence in my all powerful God, i sometimes come before him in prayer thinking, well, it can't hurt...
i want God to be my total air supply, growing more dependent on him every day

first day on the job

my brother does the funniest impression of a chris farley skit where he comes up to a clerk at a discount store and basically makes patronizing small talk about it being her first day on the job - - or maybe i'm making this up, but whenever i start something new i always crack myself up by saying to myself "first day on the job" then again most everything i do is an attempt to crack myself up and it usually works
really, is the whole idea of blogs one big mass of TMI - - an expression i recently learned and thus like to use as often as possible
