Digging Deeper: Quiz

Remember a few days ago when we did that quiz about "The Big Five"? I've got another one of those for you. It has a more detailed questionnaire. You can find this "Understand Yourself" quiz here.

Here are my results, just in case you were curious. These are based in 0-100 scale. Please take the quiz to understand my results!

Extraversion 78
Agreeableness 67
Conscientiousness 83

Digging Deeper: Research Project 2

Today I did a little research on how I feel about weather and what it means about me. Below I have the whole quiz! However, if you would like to see the original you can find it here.

Take this quiz to find out what the weather says about your personality:

1. What type of storm do you prefer?
a) Thunderstorm
b) Snowstorm
c) Gentle rain (no thunder)
d) None: Bring on sunny days and blue skies every day

2. What is your favorite weather season?
a) Summer
b) Winter
c) Fall
d) Spring


3. When it snows you:
a) Jump up and down like a kid
b) Head outside immediately
c) Bundle up with a warm blanket
d) Book the first flight to a warm beach


4. How hot is too hot?
a) 75° F
b) 85° F
c) 95° F
d) 100° F


5. What is your ideal weather day?
a) Stormy with rain or snow
b) Sunny but cool to cold
c) Overcast but warm
d) Sunny and hot


6. Sunny warm days make you ….
a) Bored
b) Miserable
c) Full of energy
d) Happy

So what’s your weather personality?

Give yourself 5 points for each A, 4 for each B, 3 for each C, and 2 points for each D.


If your total score was between 24 and 30 points, you are the type of person who likes action. You don’t mind being in noisy areas, enjoy the outdoors and can be described as adventurous. You don’t mind rough conditions, and weather the storms in life with a good attitude. You enjoy changes and get bored if everything stays the same for too long.

If your total score was between 18 and 23, you are an all-around outdoor lover. Rain or shine, heat or snow, you are satisfied with whatever comes your way. You don’t go out of your way to seek adventure, but you don’t hide from it, either. No matter where you are, or what time of year, you’ll find a way to make the most of it and enjoy yourself.

If your total score was between 12 and 17, you are a sun worshiper. You love being outdoors, but only when the weather suits you. The very sight of snow or grey skies sends you running for cover. You would rather spend a quiet day in the garden or relaxing on the beach than roughing it in the wilderness. [source]


 My number was 27. If your interested in the breakdown:
A- 4
B- 1
C- 1

For the most part I feel like its accurate, except I do have a few things I like to stay the same. Things like "home" need not to change much. In that way I like things just how I set them and left that way.

I truly love and enjoy thunderstorms and snow. Actually, any form of unusual weather is of interest to me.

 In fact, this post lead me to a length Google search of unusual weather! Maybe I should have gone into the field!

Digging Deeper: Love Language

Today I have included to a link for finding your love language based on Gary Chapman's book "The Five Love Languages". Below are the five different languages he discusses.

• Words of Affirmation
• Quality Time
• Receiving Gifts
• Acts of Service
• Physical Touch

If you would like to see what one fits you best you can find the quiz here. Below is the description for the Love language I scored highest on.

Physical Touch

This language isn’t all about the bedroom. A person whose primary language is Physical Touch is, not surprisingly, very touchy. Hugs, pats on the back, holding hands, and thoughtful touches on the arm, shoulder, or face – they can all be ways to show excitement, concern, care, and love. Physical presence and accessibility are crucial, while neglect or abuse can be unforgivable and destructive. Physical touch fosters a sense of security and belonging in any relationship. [source]

Words of Affirmation and Acts of Service tied for second. While the other two languages tied for third. It appeared to me that I like most of them equally well. (There is little difference between the second and third place.)

What is your love language?

Digging Deeper: Quiz Time

If you ever take a few moments to Google "personality quiz"  you will get a wide and varied selection of quizzes to enjoy. Although some of them are nothing more than gibberish, they are all fun and can get you thinking about yourself in a deeper way. Below I have provided a few of my favorite ones I found today, with my answers.

The "Big Five" Personality Quiz

 Here are my results for each part of the five part quiz.

Part One:

Your Score: Moderately High on Extroversion

According to your answers on the quiz, you rate moderately high on the "big five" scale for extroversion. Your score indicates that you have more extraverted traits than introverted traits. Extroverts are typically very sociable, expressive, and dominant. Introverts tend to be quiet, shy, reclusive, and private. 

 Part Two:

Your Score: High on Agreeableness

According to your answers on the quiz, you rate high on the "big five" scale for the agreeableness. Research has found that those who rate high on agreeableness are often described as warm, friendly, kind, polite, generous, and helpful.

Part Three:

Your Score: High on Conscientiousness

According to your answers on the quiz, you rate at a high amount on the "big five" scale for conscientiousness. Researchers have found that this dimension of personality encompasses qualities such as planning, perseverance, responsibility, and cautiousness. Those high in conscientiousness are often described as serious, responsible, thorough, and hardworking.

Part Four:

Your Score: Average on Emotionality

According to your answers on the quiz, you rate average on the "big five" scale for emotionality. This dimension of personality is largely concerned with the amount of emotional stability versus emotional disorganization. Those high in emotionality are often described as anxious, nervous, excitable, and fearful. Those low on emotionality are described as calm, poised, and composed

Part Five:

Your Score: High on Intellect/Openness

According to your answers on the quiz, you rate high on the "big five" scale for intellect. Sometimes referred to as openness to experience, this dimension of personality is concerned with different aspects of intelligence, including both imagination and logic. There is considerable disagreement among different researchers about what to label this dimension as well as which traits are being measured. Those who rate high on intellect are often described as imaginative, intellectual, perceptive, and witty.

You can find this quiz here.  

Impressions

I also found a whole site dedicated to personality quizes. On the site I found a cool little quiz about how other people see me. Otherwise known as "impressions". Here's what this little quiz says about me:

"Others see you as sensible, practical and modest. You are known to reciprocate the loyalty bestowed upon you, and those who know you well, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends. Equally, if that trust is ever broken, you are deeply affected." [source]
