Big Five Personality Questionaire

Link to quiz: http://apps.facebook.com/mypersonality/index.php

Results
Openness: 90%
Conscientiousness: 56%
Extraversion: 63%
Agreeableness: 75%
Neuroticism: 33%


Trait Explanations
In order to interpret your raw trait scores, they were compared to the first 350,000 people to complete the full MyPersonality Big Five questionnaire. This allows the way that you described yourself to be put in the context of how other people respond to the questionnaire. You should remember that there are no fundamentally good or bad personalities, as each trait description has potential advantages and disadvantages. To help you reflect on these, you have also been given some questions which ask you to consider the implications of your trait descriptions. Other people viewing your personality profile will not be able to see these.


Openness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer novelty versus convention. Approximately 91.9% of respondents have a lower openness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is far more intellectually curious and sensitive to beauty than most. You might say that your beliefs are individualistic and frequently drift towards the unconventional, and that you enjoy your imagination and the exciting places it takes you!
Reflective question: What place do you think that tradition has in society (if any)?


Conscientiousness
This trait refers to the extent to which you prefer an organised, or a flexible, approach in life. Approximately 34.5% of respondents have a lower conscientiousness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is spontaneous and fun, and that you like to do unexpected things that make life that bit more interesting. You might say that you aren't completely unreliable, but you've been known to slip up on occasion.
Reflective question: How do you go about tackling a new task?


Extraversion
This trait refers to the extent to which you enjoy company, and seek excitement and stimulation. Approximately 50% of respondents have a lower extraversion raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who enjoys and actively seeks out social occasions, but would say that they're not everything. You might say that sometimes it is nice to step back for a while and have a quiet night in.
Reflective question: What role do you tend to play in a team? (at work or in social activities)


Agreeableness
This trait refers to the way you express your opinions and manage relationships. Approximately 75.8% of respondents have a lower agreeableness raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who people get along with easily. Your responses suggest that you would say you are considerate and friendly, and think that other people are generally honest and decent.
Reflective question: Is your co-operative preference ever taken advantage of by others?


Neuroticism (Emotional stability)
This trait refers to the way you cope with, and respond to, life's demands. Approximately 27.5% of respondents have a lower neuroticism raw percentage than yours. From the way you answered the questions, you seem to describe yourself as someone who is calm and emotionally stable. Based on your responses, you come across as someone who is rarely bothered by things, and when they do get you down the feeling does not persist for very long.
Reflective question: When do your emotions (or lack of emotions) get in the way of good decision making?


Why is the Big Five 'big'?
The five traits that are measured in the free myPersonality test are considered by many psychologists to be the fundamental traits that make up personality. However, they are still very broad. Openness covers openness to ideas, openness to experiences, openness to values, imagination, and other areas also. That's fine when doing research on lots of people, since too much diversity can make it difficult to come to easy conclusions, but for the nuances in an individual personality it can be too simplistic. In fact, each of the Big Five traits are made up of 6 sub-traits, or 'facets' which give much more detail. This is a bit like IQ, which many psychologists think is made up of analytical IQ, verbal IQ, and sometimes areas like emotional intelligence. An overall measure of IQ is interesting, but might obscure more fine-grained differences.


So what are the 30 facets that the Comprehensive questionnaire measures?

Openness
  1. Imagination
  2. Artistic Interests
  3. Emotionality
  4. Adventurousness
  5. Intellect
  6. Liberalism

Conscientiousness

  1. Self-Efficacy
  2. Orderliness
  3. Dutifulness
  4. Achievement-Striving
  5. Self-Discipline
  6. Cautiousness

Extraversion

  1. Friendliness
  2. Gregariousness
  3. Assertiveness
  4. Activity Level
  5. Excitement-Seeking
  6. Cheerfulness

Agreeableness

  1. Trust
  2. Morality
  3. Altruism
  4. Co-operation
  5. Modesty
  6. Sympathy

Neuroticism

  1. Anxiety
  2. Anger
  3. Depression
  4. Self-Consciousness
  5. Immoderation
  6. Vulnerability

IMPACT r Us!

DISCLAIMER: The following note is based upon my views only and they do not represent the entirety of New Life Community Church, IMPACT or the leaders in both groups.

Time passes by so quickly... I remember when I first came to IMPACT (slightly after its second birthday) and celebrated IMPACT's third birthday - which happened to be really fun. In a blink of an eye, we're already approaching IMPACT's fourth birthday.

IMPACT, while it's wonderful and all, has been through rough patches. We've had our fair share of bad scrapes, bruised feelings and much more. But if there's one thing I'm glad for, it's the culture of grace, forgiveness and acceptance that is rather rampant in IMPACT.

Anyway, with the recent church anniversary (10th birthday!) and the not-so-recent IMPACT social, I've been doing a bit of thinking.

What makes us so special?

I mean, we're just like any church. Every church has worship. Every church (probably) has a drama team. Every church has a youth group of some sort. What we have physically, other churches have. And we don't exactly have an actual church building either.

But again, the point is raised: What makes us so special?

I guess it's simply 'Passion'.

Passion for what we believe in. Passion in our belief in each other. Passion in being family. Passion in running the race for God.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not ragging other churches. I'm just typing about what (I feel) makes IMPACT special.

Coming back to NLCC's 10th Anniversary and the IMPACT social, both were truly wonderful.

For the 10th Anniversary, everything just went so well. There was the drama, the music, the worship, the skits, the food and so much more.

All those were wonderful. But that wasn't what got to me. It was the PEOPLE. Everyone was milling around, moving around and doing what they were supposed to do. Everyone was supporting each other (whether they knew it or not) in the work of the Kingdom and making sure everything ran smoothly.

When the different items were presented, the fact that so much effort was put in was evident. If you've been flitting around church and checking out the rehearsals and all, you'd understand what I mean.

The Drama team worked extremely hard. I've seen them work and rehearse past 11pm just to get a video done properly and to look professional. That was done multiple times.
(I don't have any photos after the drama in the actual event because my camera ran out of battery power.)

The IMPACT hip hop team worked extremely hard as well. I don't even remember how many times they've practiced for the event itself.

The skits were wonderful and highly innovative. I still remember the "musical". That one cracked many up.

All in all, everything was wonderful. And all in all, everyone had passion in what they did and took pride in what they did.

And with the IMPACT social. Again, there wasn't anything PARTICULARLY special about the event itself. It was a lot like hanging out with usual friends, with the inclusion of sports and barbeque.

A lot of us could have spent the time doing other stuff, such as computer games, the arcade, shopping, studying, watching TV, movies, or something else. Anything but the IMPACT social.

Honestly. The events weren't anything special. But get this. Here's what makes me want to come to every event. Here's what makes me put aside my work in spite of my busy schedule. Here's what makes me forgo the pursuit of other fun recreational activites.

IMPACT. New Life Community Church. The people. My family.

I don't know about you guys but this is where I find acceptance. This is where I find friends. This is where I find family. This is where I find peace. This is where I find hope. This is where I find love.

This is where I find God.

This is where I'm home.

With all this in mind, I'm honestly looking forward to IMPACT Praise Party 4 (marking our 4th birthday).

MBTI Peronsality Test

Interesting... I'm an INFP. :)
Link to personality quiz: http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

Dominant Introverted Feeling

Usually gentle and kind, they are intense and passionate about their values and deeply held beliefs, which they share with trusted friends. Because of their discreet manner, their enthusiasm may not be apparent. They are sensitive to others' pain, restlessness or general discomfort and strive to find happiness, balance and wholeness for themselves in order to help others find joy, satisfaction and plenitude. They are deeply empathetic.

They live life in an intently personal fashion, acting on the belief that each person is unique and that social norms are to be respected only if they do not hinder personal development or expression. They strive to adhere to their own high personal moral standards and are particularly sensitive to inconsistencies in their environment between what is being said and what is being done. Empty promises of adhering to something they value – such as environmental causes or human rights - set off an inner alarm and they may transform themselves into modern day Joan of Arcs.

They are quietly persistent in raising awareness of cherished causes and often fight for the underdog in quiet or not-so-quiet ways. In a team, they will raise issues of integrity, authenticity, and good or bad, and may to opt out if the team refuses to address the questions raised.

They are usually tolerant and open-minded, insightful, flexible and understanding. They live for the understanding of others and feel deeply grateful when someone takes the time to get to know them personally. They have good listening skills, are genuinely concerned, insightful, and usually avid readers. At their best, they inspire others to be themselves.

More FaceBook Quiz Results!

Kornelius took the Your Personality Evaluation Quiz quiz and got the result: You are a type 1B Person.
You are a type 1B Person: You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself.
While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them.
You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage.
Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved.
Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.
