Dr. Phil's Test



Below is Dr. Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55. He gave this test to Oprah -- she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out.

Now add up the total number of points.





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.





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.





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.





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 if that trust is ever broken.







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 would 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.





UNDER 21 POINTS:



People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, whoalways 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.

There have been quite a few books about "personality types."

One of my favorites is "The Color Code" by Taylor Hartman, 1987.

A lot has been made about the differences in personalities of oldest children, middle children and youngest children in families.

Astrology acts like everyone born on the same day and hour is alike.

What do you think? Are there really only a handful of "personality types"? Or one for each sign of the zodiac?

I scored a 45, but the 31-40 range agrees with me too.
(I don't like to be the center of attention.)

Karen, you and I got the same score.....45

I think the astrology chart works if you look at all facets and not just day and hour....a friend of mine does that and it's really a lot more indepth.

Don't agree with the 'centre of attention' - I hate that and get so embarrased.

Got a 42, but as on all these tests, not all the questions had answers that I could choose - for axample, question 3 was none of the above. I talk with my hands, gesticulate, depends on who I'm talking to, and what mood ...

Color questions - I like dark or deep blue, but not purple, yet had to choose both to pick one ...

The people I know born on my birthday are all very different personalities. My father and mother-in-law were born on the same day as each other, and even the same year - yet are very different people. So Astrology just doesn't cut it for me, but it is amusing!

One reason I posted this test is because the subject is fascinating. Why are people the way they are?

Why does each child in a family seem to be born with a different personality?

Isn't it funny that which colors you like, or how you lay when you fall asleep, would be an indicator?

I got a 44 with the same problems: I talk with my hands and I like dark blue but not purple:)

And I agree fully on the astrology issue:)

I scored a 46, but it’s hard for me t say whether it’s accurate since they all begin with “Others see you as…” Personally, I could take something from each one and apply it to my personality. These tests tend to be nothing more that generalizations of “personalities”.

With regards to astrology, I think our personalities and what kind of person we are is formed by how we were raised, the values our families instilled in us, what kind of people our parents were, and any damaging incidents in our lives. We are not who we are based upon what day or month or year we were born.

I got a whopping 30! :eek: -Yes, I even checked it 3 times to make sure that my score was right! If only I would have received one more point, I would have scored in the 31-40 point range which I feel is more accurate. But, then again, maybe I view myself differently than I am. Or, maybe I just have wishful thinking. Maybe....

Hmmmmm. Know any good psychiatrists? ;)

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.

Isn't it interesting that most of the people who have chosen to take this test are somewhere in the middle personalities?

I guess if you're too shy or too volatile, you don't want to hear it!

Regarding the thought that how you are raised determines your personality-

Do you think you have the same personality as your brothers or sisters?

Conventional psychological thinking is that the eldest child is the over-achiever, proving themself to the parents, the youngest is the lazy "baby" (protected, loved, no need to compete), and the middle child is the negotiator, peacemaker, "fits in" one.
