Extravert(33%) Sensing(50%) Feeling(38%) Judging(44%)
- You have moderate preference of Extraversion over Introversion (33%)
- You have moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition (50%)
- You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (38%)
- You have moderate preference of Judging over Perceiving (44%)
So I guess I am average for most of these. Extraversion over introversion I feel should be higher. Its more half and half? And I think my sensing over intuition could be higher. I usually think before I act and not act on a feeling. This says I have a preference for thinking over feeling which is true in most cases. Well this test matches up with most of my personality so I guess its pretty accurate.
Your Life Goals

Self-Acceptance
This goal is reflective of placing relatively high value on feeling autonomous and possessing a stable core of self-regard that is not contingent on the opinions of other people. Based on your responses to the present survey, you appear to place slightly more central value on self-acceptance than the typical study participant.
Valuing of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Goals
The six goals that were assessed in this survey are theorized to fall into two larger classes of life goals, termed Intrinsic and Extrinsic goals. Intrinsic goals are thought to directly satisfy innate human needs and are reflective of humans' natural tendencies toward positive growth. The goals of Affiliation, Community Involvement, and Self-Acceptance assessed in this survey are examples of Intrinsic Goals. Extrinsic goals, on the other hand, are largely focused on living up to externally imposed standards of value and being a worthy person in the eyes of others. The goals of Financial Success, Social Recognition, and Attractiveness assessed in this survey are examples of Extrinsic Goals. Psychologists have studied the degree to which people place a strong priority on intrinsic goals over extrinsic goals, or vice versa. Most people place a stronger priority on intrinsic goals. Based on your responses to the present survey, you appear to prioritize intrinsic goals over extrinsic goals substantially more than the typical study participant.
Mostly true. I do not really care about wealth and material possessions as long as I live a happy and well thought out life. When it comes to fame and admiration, I just want to be known among my friends and family for what I want to do and accomplish in life. I apparently value attractiveness O_o. I guess this is true in most cases, I want a good image? Affiliation- true. I care about those around me. Community also true. I love helping others.Self-acceptance- I tend to concentrate more on my own opinions and not on the opinions of others.

43
| Global Self-Esteem This scale measures the tendency to perceive oneself as likable and competent and to positively evaluate one’s personality, intelligence, morality, social skills, physical appearance, and athletic abilities. The relative importance of these dimensions to self-esteem depends on the specific culture or subculture to which the individual belongs. High-scorers typically have greater emotional well-being, are more socially active, and tend to be more friendly, conscientious, and open to new experiences. |
46
| Shame-Prone PersonalityThis scale measures the tendency to experience feelings of shame across a wide range of situations in everyday life. When high-scorers believe that they have failed to meet their personal standard of achievement, social appropriateness, or morality, they tend to negatively evaluate themselves in a very general way, thinking for example “I am a bad person” or “I’m dumb.” High-scorers are particularly concerned about the way they are evaluated by others. Shame is typically experienced as feeling worthless and powerless, and often elicits a desire to hide or escape from the person or situation that caused the feeling of shame. |
47
| Guilt-Prone Personality This scale measures the tendency to experience feelings of guilt across a wide range of situations in everyday life. When high-scorers believe that they have failed to meet their personal standards of achievement, social appropriateness, or morality, they tend to focus on their specific behavior that led to the situation, thinking for example “I behaved in an inappropriate way” or “I did not work hard enough.” High-scorers are often concerned that their behavior hurt or caused damage to others. Guilt typically includes feelings of tension and remorse, and may elicit the desire to confess, apologize, or repair the problem. Guilt is generally experienced as somewhat less emotionally painful than shame. |
48
| Pride-Prone Personality This scale measures the tendency to experience feelings of pride in everyday life. When high-scorers believe that they have met their personal standards of achievement, social appropriateness, or morality, they tend to experience a sense of mastery and perceive themselves as competent and socially valued persons. Pride is typically experienced as a rewarding feeling, which strengthens commitment to social and moral standards and elicits a desire to perform the same behavior in the future again. |
Average for most of these. I do feel accomplished from some of my previous successes but also feel guilty if I do not complete it to the best of my ability. I care about what others think of what I have accomplished and at times think negatively. I tend to be a person who commits to accomplishing a task that is handed to me and work my best to finish the task.

Depending on the situation, I tend to be mostly outgoing and sociable. I'm about in the middle for extraversion which seems to be pretty accurate. Agreeable- pretty accurate. I try avoid conflict with people and try to find a resolution. I used to be pretty stubborn when it comes to ideas and views, but as I got older, it became more of trying to find the best outcome for both people in a situation. When it comes to organization, this is true most of the time. I can be pretty messy if too much stuff is on my plate. I guess I'm secure and relaxed under stressful conditions. I am open to new experiences but music wise, I actually don't like most of those LOL. I dislike folk and heavy metal; jazz, blues and rock are okay depending on the song, and classical music puts me to sleep O_o.

Seems to be about right. My dream is to become a pediatrician so in most cases it involves Social, Investigative, Conventional. I do like working with other people and solving problems. I am not really interested in pursuing an occupation where it involves creativity and art, and working with my hands to produce things. Business..... just not my thing. I am not particularly fond of managing and selling items.
