Give it a try here.
Understanding:
- You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
- You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.
Scrupulous:
- You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.
- You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
Passionate:
- You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.
- You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.
Aesthetic:
- You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
- You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.
Sympathetic:
- You have a knack for knowing what's going on in the hearts and minds of those around you, without their having to tell you explicitly. People tend to turn to you with their problems because they know you care, and that you will likely offer good advice and a helping hand.
- You do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves.
Curious:
- You like to get to the bottom of things. You're not content knowing what someone did; you want to know why they did it.
- You don't simply take things as they are and move on; you're not content skimming along on the surface; you don't feel you're wasting time by digging for the meaning of things.
Empathetic:
- You are in touch with your own feelings, which helps put you in touch with the feelings of others.
- You don't buy the logic that your happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless you're happy you're incapable of making anyone else happy.
Conscientious:
- You feel it's important to work according to a plan and finish every task, to do things correctly and thoroughly.
- You are not the kind of person who abandons a project before finishing it, or slacks off when you've lost interest.
Organized:
- You like to think a task through before you embark on it. If it's the slightest bit complicated, you make a list (even if it's only in your mind) and methodically work your way through it. When you have a goal in mind, you're not satisfied until you reach it.
- You are not one of those people who ignore the details, and you don't understand how anyone can get anything accomplished without thoughtful planning ahead of time.
Creative:
- You are good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people miss. People with a high score on the "creative" trait often are employed in such fields as finance and scientific research, and enjoy avant garde and classical music as well as literary fiction and scholarly non-fiction.
- You do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible.
