[Cascade's Scrapbook] About Anything

by **Rayage** on September 19th, 2012, 8:34 am

Ok... I was peeking in your Scrap and I saw that personality test. Couldn't help but to take it for Ray XD

This was the results:

Dominance- 44%
Influence- 32%
Compliance- 12%
Steadiness- 12%

You have a strong inner motivation to influence people and circumstances. You thrive on competitive situations and challenging assignments.
The stresses and pressures of everyday work and life are unlikely to reduce your effectiveness and enthusiasm.

Linky to test results

I thought it was very interesting. I would have thought that Influence would have been the highest one, but I can see Dominance too. Im not sure how to take these results... Not sure of Dominance and Infuence are high or low. I sort of wish they would just tell you what you got, not just 'this is what a high score means' and 'this is what a low score means'.

I guess when you put it side by side with Steadiness and Compliance, Ray's Dominance and Influence are comparatively high. As for the description that they gave about Ray... judging from that one thread my PC has with Ray (the plague thread), I gotta vouch for the accuracy of the first sentence ("You have a strong inner motivation to influence people and circumstances.").

Haha, yeah, I laughed at that first sentence. For the longest time instead of "Sahova All-Star" as my title it was "Agent of Change" which both, in my opinion, fit Ray perfectly. He even has lore of being an agent of change. Love that lore haha.

So, I do agree with the first part, like you do

I was just unsure/confused on how to read the rest of the results. Im having a blonde moment, but, like you said again, when you put everything side by side there are higher and lower personality traits. I guess Ill take that as the right answer and assume Dominance and Influence are high, while the other two are low.

Thanks

PS- That text conversation with your mom... I get those all the time. I feel you!

Wait, what guitar cover...? o_o

EDIT: Oh, do you mean the Somebody That I Used To Know cover that I posted some time ago? If yes... yeah, that cover was fantastic!

Here's some background music to lend it context:

Something about tyranny.

Sometimes, something happens in your life that just makes you stop and go… ‘wtf’.

Today, my dad raged because I didn’t have the Prayer Before Meals memorized. Never mind that I don’t even believe in memorized prayers. Anyway, he raged so much that I apparently need to reevaluate my life.

All this because I have my own set of beliefs.

Tyrants. Tyrants everywhere. But what am I supposed to do? He threatened me with taking away the wifi, so I memorized it. Teehee.

Anyway, my reflection for the day: If a person is satisfied with completely getting his or her own way using the abuse of power, then this person just thinks too highly of themselves. Granted, you can never please EVERYONE… but trying to please only yourself is much more terrible.

(I also have to mention how much I like Imass the PC a lot. That zealous tyrant knows how to get a good plot going... but if I knew him IRL, I'd push him off a cliff. <3)

I'm so very sorry to hear of such power-tripping.

When my daughter announced via e-mails that she no longer wanted to attend church (something I have no problem with either way), I anticipated a backlash of self-righteousness from my family (all but my brother anyway...lol). I had always considered MY mother to be a wonderful and reasonable person. Turns out she is even more so than I gave her credit for.

She actually called ME immediately to tell me NOT to impose my beliefs on my daughter, not to MAKE her go to church and to let her find her own way. That forcing a belief on someone, even what you feel is a good one, is the surest way to get that person to reject it. She was a preacher's daughter, and IS very religious, but knows when to rein it in.

Fortunately, my dad is no longer with us. HE would have ruined everything. :rolleyes:
