ok I'm retarded and I can't find these explinations on the site. I know I'm a 6/9, that's right I scored a 5 on both the 6 and 9. I keep trying to tell people I have a split personality, maybe this prooves it a bit.

OK on the left side of the screen at the home page there is a column that says diagrams. Line up to your number and the next column over says description. Click on that and it will tell you the info. You'll have to click on two I guess. Split personality indeed! You seem pretty sane to me girlfriend!

Your results are really nice. It's great to get a sense of how to relate, strengths and weaknesses. :)
I tried it but I had a hard time with the test and ended up wtih a null result. First, I found many of the answer options to be presented as opposing ideas whereas the reality for me is that they are related and cooperative. For example: - Pursuing my personal interests has been more important to me than having comfort and security. - Having comfort and security has been more important to me than pursuing my personal interests. ...um neither. I often pursue personal interest to help insure my comfort and security. and when I'm comfortable and secure I'm the best position to pursue personal interests. Second, I found the answers were presented as an either/or situation, whereas I don't find them to be mutually exclusive or polar elements: I have generally been an - outgoing, sociable person. - earnest, self-disciplined person. ...um, yeah, maybe my dictionary has an entirely different definiton of those words then the test creators. since when are outgoing and earnest antonyms? since when does sociable mean you aren't self-disciplined? I'd honestly consider myself both, I couldn't even answer that question. Third, I couldn't score my test. The site states " Your highest score will indicate you basic type". Ok, well then there's my score: Type 1: 5 Type 2: 4 Type 3: 4 Type 5: 4 Type 6: 5 Type 7: 5 Type 8: 5 ...um. so I have the same score on nearly everything. does that make me well balanced or non-committal? most funny: I scored a 1 on Type 4: The Artist. lol. irony. Artist... "You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means" I also scored a 2 on Type 9: The Peacemaker. Apparently I am neither easygoing nor accommodating. ;) |

Inconceivable Dyno!!! I had the same problem but I went with what I do more often. I often do both in many situations too but when I really looked myself in the face I realized my tendency went more one way than the other. I had to make sure I wasn't saying what I wanted to do but what I did do more often. Does that make any sense at all? It came out spooky accurate for me.
