What kind of person are you? (Dr. Phil test)

Slugbait · Post by **Slugbait** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 12:00 am

I usually detest this kind of "FWD" mail, but I wrote "artist embellishments" for the profiles, to make it more entertaining...

I thought this was interesting. Dr. Phil gave this test on Oprah. Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out. Read on, this is very interesting!

It's a psychological profile; don't be overly sensitive! And it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends, including the one who sent it to you, and let them know who you are.

The person who sent it placed their score in the subject box. Please do the same before forwarding to your friends. Don't peek but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now ...not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees.

It's only 10 simple questions, so ... grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers. Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When you are finished, forward this to
everyone you know, and also send it to the person who sent this to you. Make sure to put YOUR score in the subject box. Ready?? Begin.

Dr. Phil

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care". You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you,
but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

Artist Embellishment

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as a ticking time-bomb. You're totally self-absorbed, to the point of having sociopathic tendencies. You like to douse cats with gasoline and light them on fire. Others sometimes wish they could be as brazen and rude as you are in certain situations, but then see how much time you spend in jail, and realize it's not worth it. If you like marriage, you'd better like divorce, too…

Dr. Phil

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

Artist Embellishment

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as a control freak with a big mouth. You push your agenda on everybody else, and when things go horribly awry, you blame it on some other person or "the man". People only like to hang out with you because you either buy all the drinks, or you pick a fight with a football linebacker and get your ass kicked every Friday night. Either way, you're great entertainment.

Dr. Phil

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

Artist Embellishment

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as a "Martha Stewart on Meth". You're the type of person who would put a lamp shade on your head at a black-tie affair just to "shake things up a little", then say "I've never done that before" (trust us, nobody believes that shit). You'd try to find the home of a lost puppy you found, but you won't pull over for someone who has a flat tire on the interstate.

Dr. Phil

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

Artist Embellishment

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as a "Nervous Nellie" with only a few redeeming qualities. You let the "over 60 points" people take credit for things you've accomplished. You never trust people you've just met, but expect them to say "how high?" when you tell them to jump. You hold severe and intense grudges, and often fantasize the deaths of those who have wronged you.

Dr. Phil

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

Artist Embellishment

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends would rather leave you at home on the weekends, because you nit-pick every little thing. You can't stand next to a window in a high-rise building without feeling physically ill. You won't "Just Do It" because you overanalyze every situation to the point of missing golden opportunities, and end up looking like a total loser.

Dr. Phil

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions &who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Artist Embellishment

UNDER 21 POINTS: Who the hell pushed you out of her womb? What doctor didn't immediately smother you with a pillow, and explain that you were still-born? Can you even decide what toothpaste to use on your own? The end of the world isn't actually THAT near, you know. And just to answer that one burning question you ask at every party, NO, nobody thinks that opera is "making a comeback".

Now forward this to others, and put your score in subject box

If you dare…

I got 43. I'd say the description is pretty close but not perfect.

Anyway, question #5 only goes to "d" yet there's an "e" in the scoring...

Karchiveur · Post by **Karchiveur** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 3:01 pm

Well.. its kinda scary...
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to
their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

I belive its very true i scored a 47 and i was almost told all of this the other day when my friends were to help me with this practical social science test.(3 guy friends/3 girl friends-have to truthfully examine a friend and give him/her an evaulation)

That is scary!

lol cool test though!

45. I laughed at the description because it describes me to the T.

You'd try to find the home of a lost puppy you found, but you won't pull over for someone who has a flat tire on the interstate

Just last night on the way home I "contemplated" stopping to help a guy with a flat but then decided I was too tired so kept on driving. And I love animals so of course I would try to find the home of the lost puppy.

Busby · Post by **Busby** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 4:38 pm

43 here. Description pretty much fits me well.

Sean · Post by **Sean** » Sat Jan 25, 2003 11:48 pm

I finally took the test and got between 31 and 40.
