After taking a series of surveys for Amped Up, I was able to put test results to traits that I already believed about myself.
In a sensation seeking test, I found that I rated an 8 out of 10 for thrill and adventure seeking, a figure which I agree with as I enjoy an adrenaline rush, but am not obsessed over getting one. I scored a 7 in experience seeking, which is close to what I expected, but I love memorable experiences so I would have thought the figure to be higher. I scored a 7 in disinhibition, which seemed just a little high for me as I am not a huge party animal, although I do like to rebel to some extent. I also received a 6 in boredom susceptibility, which fits me because a have patience, but hate to feel that I'm wasting my time by doing such activities as watching TV, and I rarely feel like I have nothing to do.
In a political quiz, a tested as an 8 out of 40 meaning that I am quite liberal. Despite flaws in the quiz tool, I feel that this number really suits me as I do not trust the government to do what is best for the people, and I consider myself a liberal, especially right now.
In a personality survey, I received a 28 compared to an average of 19 for my openness to new experience. This definitely fits me as I greatly enjoy new experiences, and I try hard to find more and more of them. I also tested as a 31 compared to an average of 23 in conscientiousness. This score fits me well because I read people well, and am always careful not to be particularly mean or rude. I received a 30 compared to the average of 21 in extraversion, which sort of fits me as I can be a very outgoing person, but I also keep tabs on my own feelings so in some respect I am also an introvert. I scored a 25 compared to 20 in agreeableness, which fits me as I am a friendly and agreeable person, although I will stick up for what I believe, even when it means to disagree. I received a 2 compared to an average of 15 in the category of neuroticism because I am very chill and will go with the flow, but I do feel like it is good to have a plan and to worry just a little, so I feel like this rating is a little too low. I scored a 144 compared to the average of 98 in the overall personality score category, which is interesting because it means that I have a lot more 'personality' than most people, and I feel like this may be true. I also believe that is a good thing because I really like interesting people, and feel that spending time with someone interesting is far better than with a boring, one-dimension person.
