Further into introverts

[YesNo]

Those Galen types Melancholic, Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic seem more interesting than Introversion-Extroversion. At least there are four of them rather than two.

I got the "martyr complex" as well which I thought was a bit odd, but maybe I just don't understand it.

Are these qualities intrinsic or fostered through feedback? Are they static? As an introvert I wondered if it could have been different; and yet be the same person. My score for the test put me relatively high on neuroticism in the melancholic quadrant.

Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||| 33%
Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||||||||| 65%
Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||||||||| 50%

Can anyone see themselves any differently? I don't think I could see myself not melancholic.

Based on the wikipedia article Delta40 originally cited, I think Eysenck believes these to be genetically based rather than fostered through feedback:

However, I don't think we are completely determined by our genes--but that is for another thread, perhaps on epigenetics.

It seems about right for me, but I am surprised that onliters are not more rebellious

I do tend to 'rage against the machine' but for good reasons - honestly.

I scored a 33% on extroversion, 55% on neuroticism, and 35% on psychoticism. Here's what it said:

Extroversion results were moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

Neuroticism results were medium which suggests you are moderately worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

Psychoticism results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex).

Almost exactly the same here, same descriptions:

Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||| 38%
Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||||||| 54%
Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||||||| 36%.

I actually didn't notice the plotted map, but I hadn't closed the page and I'm in the "sanguine" quadrant toward the bottom and near the "phlegmatic" quadrant close to "easy going", "lively", "carefree". Well, tomorrow's another day.

Paulclem--91% extrovert! Wow!

I also got the same as Qimi with

Psychoticism results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex).

My martyr complex combined with my extreme extrovertism means that I'll be a martyr, but everyone will know about it.

I'd like to give a big round of applause for my psychology friend Sharon who led me to the Eysenck scale

[OrphanPip]

Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||||| 49%
Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||| 32%
Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||| 30%

Which puts me on the line between phlegmatic and sanguine.

[billl]

Extroversion (sociability) | 2%
Neuroticism (emotionality) 0%
Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||||||||||||||||||||| 100%

So I don't need any of this, enough with all of you.

Hey friend!

I'm a bit jealous, Pip; I always wanted to be phlegmatic and sanguine, although I didn't know what they meant for the longest time.

billl I guess you need a

Yes, I am a melancholy baby; I always just thought it was cause I'm a Virgo.

I must say, Delta, this is much more interesting than the introversion/extroversion thing. Thank you. Scher! Scher! Come take the test! Inquiring minds and all that.

Eysenck Test Results

Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||||||||||| 72%
Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||||| 42%
Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||||||||| 43%

Extroversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.

Neuroticism results were moderately low which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Psychoticism results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex).


Sounds about right.

I guess that emoticon fits in some ways

you say your a Virgo, I'm Aries and I think I have only one Aries related trait in me and that is being stubborn, I am very stubborn and independent.... I don't think I normal (if there is such a thing) Aries is phlegmatic... I think so at least


I always enjoy taking tests about myself, maybe because that is a place to honest about things you won't admit face to face... in my case it is...

[kiki1982]

I guess I'm a very good Taurus example: stubborn, calm, slow to start, but steadfast in accomplishing the goal they have set (once they have finally started), hate change and new things... Tauruses are probably phlegmatic...

I think that emoticon fits very well. Taurues are angels, really

I used to be a Sagittarius but then I heard "they", whoever they are, added a 13th constellation to the zodiac, no doubt for luck, which is where I would fall. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the new constellation.

In the Chinese horoscope I'm a tiger. I don't know what this stands for exactly, but I hope it does not have anything to do with the "martyr complex" people like me with a low "Psychoticism" measure have received.
