Personality Test

Group 1: A, B, C
A: I have tended to be fairly independent and assertive. I've felt that life works best when you meet it head-on. I set my own goals, get involved, and want to achieve something big. I don't like sitting around. I don't necessarily seek confrontations, but I don't let people push me around either. Most of the time, I know what I want and go for it. I tend to work hard and play hard.

B: I have tended to be quiet and am used to being on my own. I usually don't draw much attention to myself socially, and it's generally unusual for me to assert myself all that forcefully. I don't feel comfortable taking the lead or being as competitive as others. Many would probably say that I'm something of a dreamer—a lot of my excitement goes on in my imagination. I can be quite content without feeling I have to be active all the time.

C: I have tended to be extremely responsible and dedicated. I feel terrible if I don't keep my commitments and do what's expected of me. I want people to know that I'm there for them and that I do what I believe is the best for them. I've often made great personal sacrifices for the sake of others, whether they know it or not. I don't take adequate care of myself. I do work that needs to be done and relax (and do what I want) if there's time left.

Group 2: D, E, F
D: I am a person who usually maintains a positive outlook or feels that things will work out for the best. I can usually find something to be enthusiastic about and different ways to occupy myself. I like being around people and helping others be happy. I enjoy sharing my own well-being with them (I don't always feel great, but I generally try not to show it!). However, keeping a positive frame of mind has sometimes meant that I've put off dealing with my own problems for too long.

E: I am a person who has strong feelings about things. Most people can tell when I'm upset about something. I can be guarded with people, but I'm more sensitive than I let on. I want to know where I stand with others and who and what I can count on. It's pretty clear to most people where they stand with me. When I'm upset about something, I want others to respond and get as worked up as I am. I know the rules, but I don't want people telling me what to do. I want to decide for myself.

F: I am a person who is self-controlled and logical. I don't like revealing my feelings or getting bogged down in them. I am efficient, even a perfectionist, about my work and prefer working on my own. If there are problems or personal conflicts, I try not to let my feelings influence my actions. Some say I'm too cool and detached, but I don't want my private reactions to distract me from what's really important. I'm glad that I usually don't show my reactions when others "get to me."
