- "Your IQ score is 152. This means that you are smarter than 99.9% of all other Super IQ test takers. Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you an Imaginative Mastermind. You're an extremely talented person, with skills across the board. There is next to nothing you can't do. Your creativity gives you the ability to make connections between different ideas and your many skills allow you to express those ideas in any way you see fit (whether it be through the spoken word, the written word, or a numerical equation). You also have a practical knowledge of how things work because you pay attention and are a quick study. With your great imagination, you are able to extrapolate from one situation to the next. Sometimes you are able to imagine things that you have never seen before. "
- Logical Ability: "You scored 99 out of 100. Logical ability is what you use when determining whether or not something makes sense. You rely on logic when analyzing an argument, step-by-step. This ability also contributes to your aptitude for recognizing underlying patterns."
- Abstract Reasoning: "Your score is 97 out of 100. With abstract reasoning you can think on multiple levels and see relationships between ideas that are not easily apparent."
- "Abstract Reasoning tests assess the ability to understand complex concepts and assimilate new information beyond previous experience. The tests consist of items which require the recognition of patterns and similarities between shapes and figures."
- "As a measure of reasoning, abstract reasoning is independent of knowledge attainment and can be used to provide an indication of intellectual potential. Abstract reasoning tests assess the ability to quickly understand and assimilate new information, and they are predictive of how responsive to training a person will be."
- "Characteristics: Ability to recognize patterns and similarities between shapes and figures; high ability to grasp new ideas and assimilate new information; responsive to training; a high level of natural ability."
- "When you're using your abstract reasoning skills, you draw on both external logical and creative sources of information to come up with your solution."
- Bill Gates quote (from way back when he was just a smart computer guy, not someone focused on selling each person on the planet a covid-19 vaccine!): "The next step is pattern-recognition engines and mental models to help people mine and assess the value of all that information, and technologies that infuse online data with meaning and context ... the power they [people, software and search engines with pattern recognition abilities] hold is hard to exaggerate." Article link.
- My answers on abstract reasoning tests sometimes go beyond the level of information being evaluated by tests. This was the case on this test (resulting in a 97 out of 100 score vs. a higher score). 2021 test result examples:
- 10/10 score on 123test.com's Abstract Reasoning Test and test results.
- Test often used by Fortune 500 Companies, confirming highly advanced pattern recognition and abstract reasoning results: Pymetrics test results.
- Abstract reasoning ability + logical ability + organizational ability + numerical ability + mechanical ability + verbal ability + market knowledge + pattern recognition ability + broad educational interests = highly advanced data analysis and web analytics abilities.
- Related ability: perception.
- Organizational Ability: "Your organizational ability score is 99 out of 100. Organizational ability is what allows you to organize and arrange information effectively, be precise, and proofread carefully."
- Numerical Ability: "You scored 99 out of 100. You use numerical ability when you spot a numerical pattern or solve a numerical equation."
- Mechanical Ability: "You scored 98 out of 100. Mechanical ability is what helps you understand how machines and tools work. Someone with a good amount of mechanical ability probably has an innate understanding of physics. High mechanical skill is also associated with a high degree of precision and practical thinking.
- Verbal Ability: "Your verbal ability score is 99 out of 100. Verbal ability means having an expansive range of vocabulary, being able to use it, and feeling a desire to add to it. It is also what allows you to comprehend the relationships and subtle difference between words."
- Spatial Ability: "You scored 99 out of 100. You use spatial ability to judge the relationship between objects and physical space, like a parked car and the width of the road. It is also what helps you visualize a room when you are decorating or rearranging furniture."
- Visual Ability: "Your score is 93 out of 100. Visual ability allows you to accurately visualize all aspects of an object for the purposes of recreating it, the way painters do. It's also what you use to imagine a scene from a novel or a story someone tells you — the ability to accurately reproduce reality in the mind's eye."
2. Career Interest Inventory - Ideal Career: "Education and Training; Math and Science; Medicine and Health; Business Relations"
Broad Interests = High Probably for Great Success in the field Internet Marketing: Broad Interests, Multi-talented, Polymath,
Educational Path
https://johnlutz.com/presonal-profile/tests/tickle_career_interest_education_2005-02-04
- "Suggested Careers: College Professor, Financial Analyst, Family Practitioner, Marketing Director, Business Planner"
- "We looked at your responses to 12 different career areas. In order to get a clearer picture, we created your own personal list of career preferences. We ranked your career interests from your most to your least favorite areas. In your list, we give you a brief description of the area, your interest score and a list of four example occupations. Your areas of interests in order of preference..."
- Education and Training: "Many talented people in these professions are able to simplify complex ideas and effectively communicate them to others. Whether it's teaching new information, skills, or behavior, you need to have a zeal for interacting with other people and taking the lead. People who succeed in these types of professions are keenly aware that you first need to genuinely like people before you can tell them what to do."
- Math and Science: "Professions in the fields of math and science involve using analytical thought. Information gathered by people in these types of professions is useful to a wide range of audiences, but most people fail to appreciate the complexity and creativity involved in the solutions. Despite popular belief, most people in math and science are imaginative types who enjoy creating a new world of information and possibilities."
- Medicine and Health: "Occupations related to medicine and health involves helping other people. Some occupations require working directly with people and assessing and diagnosing their state of health. Others work directly with people to show them how to take better care of themselves. Still, others help by conducting research on health-related issues such as finding a new cure or vaccine. Regardless of the type of job, ultimately they all represent improving the quality of people's lives in some way."
- Business Relations: Professions in the area of business relations require a variety of skills. However, almost all the professions involve being persuasive and shrewd at the same time. You must possess the ability to anticipate problems and opportunities and use this approach to your advantage. Although it is important to be methodical, being slow never makes you a winner in a business environment.
3. Corporate Culture Quiz: "The Energizer"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_corporate_culture_the_energizer
- "Energizers are self starters, enthusiastic, visionary leaders."
- "You bring a unique energy to any work scene. Your infectious enthusiasm and zeal for what you do serve as an inspiration to others. The idea of following traditions and rules just for their own sake does not make a whole lot of sense to you. But that doesn't mean you slack off and find loopholes. Part of what's inspiring about you is that you come to the table with a strong work ethic and ability to get things done under pressure."
- "Whether it's a large or small organization, every company needs someone they can rally behind and you are that person."
- "You are excited by challenges that simply frighten other people or cause them to back off. The prospect of taking a risk for a big payoff gets your blood pumping. Your can-do attitude motivates people to do their best."
- "Part of what is inspiring about you is your work ethic and your ability to perform in a high-pressure environment. You are not afraid of working intensely and letting other people know how you feel. People appreciate your desire to share your ideas and opinions because it reflects your commitment to the company."
- "Just as you like to give, you also want to receive; you are interested in hearing what people think of you and getting feedback on your work performance is important to you. This makes you a good listener who is capable of hearing what people have to say."
- "Compared to other types, you care less about the past than the future. You resolutely face forward and the idea of following traditions and rules for their own sake doesn't make a whole lot of sense to you. You enjoy being flexible, spontaneous, and adaptable in a quickly changing environment."
- "You live by the Apple Computer motto, 'Think Different,' and companies that are known for being run by mavericks would suit you just fine.... These companies are usually not run by an old boys network. They are looking for the best and the brightest and don't care if you look the part or not ... because these companies pride themselves on being unconventional, they may provide benefits that go beyond your paycheck, such as flexible hours, fun working environments, and casual dress codes."
- Ambition Score: "Your score indicates that you have high expectations for yourself. You are not content to just sit and wait for things to happen. You prefer to make your reality and as a result, doing hard work and accepting new responsibilities does not scare you."
- "Part of what makes you happy at work is having some responsibility and feeling like you are moving up. There is nothing wrong with sitting down with your immediate supervisor and explicitly discussing not only your short-term goals but also your long-term ones. Most people like mentoring an enthusiastic go-getter. If your supervisor is not the right candidate, then pick someone who is experienced and known as a visionary and let them take you under their wing."
4. Leadership Skill Quiz:"Natural High - A Born Leader"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_leader_2006-02-05
- "You're a Born Leader. Your leadership skills are quite well-developed, which makes you a tremendous resource at work — someone people can look to for guidance and direction. You've got a strong combination of workplace-friendly traits — from organizational skills to communication ability. Succeeding at work is often simply a question of solving problems, and you're just the person to tackle them."
- Organization: "Your strong organizational skills make you an excellent candidate for success as a leader. And once you've organized your workplace, your overall productivity increases by leaps and bounds."
- Efficiency: "You have a keen understanding of how work works, and you know how to make things happen — which translates into excellent leadership potential. While others are still spinning their wheels, you've sped off, leaving skid marks behind you."
- Teamwork: "Team-building skills are the foundation of all interactions with your co-workers and can set the tone at work...your talent in this area gives you a real leadership edge."
- Confidence: "Your strong confidence level lets you focus your energies on success and truly shine as a leader at work."
5. Executive Type Quiz: "Vice President of Sales"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_executive_VP_Sales_2006-02-04
- "You'd make a perfect VP of Sales."
- "You're what they call a 'closer' -- a seal-the-deal person with a can-do attitude."
- "Your focus and positive outlook make you a natural at convincing others to see your point of view."
- "The world will never stop needing people who can make things happen."
6. Multiple Intelligences Quiz: "Greatest Strength - Social Intelligence"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_multiple_intelligences_test_details
- "Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: 9 out of 10. This trait involves higher-order thinking through abstract and numerical reasoning. People who use this intelligence can be stronger than most other people are at weighing the merits of different arguments [example: evaluating future business trends]. By looking at facts critically, these individuals are good at forming their own conclusions — an ability that can make them great business leaders and first-rate independent thinkers." I definitely see trends and innovative ways of doing things very easily and very quickly.
- "Physical Intelligence: 10 out of 10. This trait involves the ability to control and direct body movements for achievement or expression. There are a variety of skills that can be worked on when it comes to improving physical intelligence including strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, dexterity, expressiveness, coordination, and good reflexes. People who use this type of intelligence frequently come to see their bodies as a source of joy, along with the added bonus of suffering less from stress and certain types of disease.
- "Personal Intelligence: You scored a 9 out of 10.People with a high level of personal intelligence aren't afraid to ask themselves life's big questions: "Why am I here?" or "What's the meaning of life?"These issues are everyday fare for people using their personal intelligence.
- By being willing to explore the unknown, personally intelligent people can seem positively fearless to those who'd rather focus on simpler, more concrete issues. It's true: Asking deep questions that may have no definitive answers can be scary at times. However, by delving into these existential places, personally intelligent types can become very in tune with their feelings, values, and ideals. It's a kind of self-knowledge that people with less of this intelligence rarely experience."
- Developing a solid sense of yourself can be crucial to nurturing self-esteem (2) and a positive self-image. People who score high on personal intelligence are typically comfortable expressing the full spectrum of their emotions. They are also generally in tune with their conscious and unconscious feelings. Perhaps most importantly, people with a high degree of this intelligence appear not just to recognize their own emotions, but the underlying causes for them, as well. This can make personally intelligent people very self-reliant and able to improve their own lives.
- People who are personally intelligent seem to realize that it's not so important what the answers to life's big questions are, but that the questions are being asked. By forcing yourself to face who you are, you can begin to accept who you are, as well. Possessing inner peace can make what others think of you matter much less. In activating personal intelligence to its fullest, you can effectively enrich your life. This is true because in many ways, this kind of intelligence represents an integration of your mind and heart [resulting in highly focused, highly effective actions].
7. Emotional Intelligence Quiz: Top 1%
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_emotional_iq_2006-02-05
- Your Emotional IQ score is 134. You scored higher than 99% of other test takers.
- "Emotional IQ measures how well your emotions guide you towards smart decisions. In fact, increasingly, researchers are pointing to Emotional IQs as better indicators of overall success in life than traditional IQ tests alone. Healthy relationships and flourishing careers are impossible without interacting successfully with others. Even someone who possesses a genius Intellectual Quotient (IQ) can miss out on the wisdom that comes from understanding another human being."
- "Your emotional strength, or the dimension on which you scored the highest is Perception."
- "We structured the test to actually isolate different interpersonal skills and how well you use them to your benefit. Each of your scores on the 4 emotional intelligence dimensions, Perception, Expression, Empathy, and Emotional Management, are independent of one another, despite the fact that only in combination do they yield your true Emotional IQ.
- "Perception: You scored 10 out of 10. Your perception score measures your ability to perceive other people's emotions. You're very sensitive to subtleties of people's actions and gestures, and can feel out the "vibe" of a situation more readily than most people. In short, it's hard to slip anything past you. And that's a powerful skill because nonverbal communications — body language, facial expressions, touch, tone, and appearance — often convey a person's true feelings. In fact, some researchers estimate that 93% of all communication is nonverbal. The higher your score, the stronger your edge on the competition."
- "Expression: You scored 7 out of 10. Your expression score measures the extent to which you allow yourself to feel and to express your own emotions. It gauges how comfortable you are in expressing the full range of emotions — both positive and negative. Being able to express a range of emotions implies that you understand the difference between what you really feel as opposed to acting in the manner you think you are supposed to feel. Your score indicates that you are relatively comfortable in expressing your emotions. You are fairly in tune with both your conscious and unconscious feelings and why you are feeling a particular way.
- "Empathy: You scored a 8 out of 10. Your empathy score represents your ability to understand and appreciate other people's points of view. Experts agree that your ability to see things from perspectives different from your own will make you a better communicator and, in general, a more perceptive individual. It also indicates how much benefit of the doubt you are likely to give people and how much leeway you give them before you form conclusions about them, their ideas, or their motives.
- Emotional Management: You scored 8 out of 10. You recognize that feeling emotions and acting upon them are two separate things. Your emotional management score reflects how much you let your emotions affect the world around you. It measures how good you are at understanding your emotions and acting upon them. Emotional management also gauges whether you let your emotions drive your actions or whether you tend to contain them and base your actions on things more objective than your emotions.
8. Power Quotient Quiz: Top 2%
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_power_quotient_report
- "Your Power Quotient: Fearless. You have no problem taking a leadership role."
- "Your Power Quotient measures the extent to which you understand and use your Power Style to get what you want in life. Five dimensions make up your Power Quotient. Each one plays a role in determining both your overall Power Quotient score and Power Style. Understanding and strengthening these five dimensions is the key to raising your Power Quotient."
- "Your Power Quotient indicates that you're already using 98% of your innate people-power skills."
- "You are someone people look to for answers. You aren't afraid to speak your mind and have no qualms about taking a leadership role. This is because you believe that you alone are responsible for your own successes and failures."
- "The first three dimensions - credit, blame, and control - are based on the following questions: When things are going well, to what extent do you take credit for success? To what degree do you blame others for the negative things that happen? Do you believe that you, or external forces, have control over events in your life?" Average score for credit, blame and control: 8 out of 10.
- "The last two dimensions - directness and tact - refer to the relative number and kinds of strategies you have, and the frequency with which you utilize them. Are you more inclined to confront someone when you have a problem or are you going to find another way to get your point across?">
- "Directness Score: You are using 10 out of 10 direct power strategies. This implies that you're full of direct strategies and you're quite accustomed to utilizing them. You understand how to be straightforward with a recognizable level of skill, and you most likely prefer overt methods to other, subtler strategies. In situations where others might shy away from speaking their minds and being forthright, you find it only natural to act as such."
- "Tact Score: You are using 9 out of 10 subtle power strategies. This implies that you're full of subtle strategies, and you're quite accustomed to utilizing them. You understand how to be diplomatic with a recognizable level of skill and you most likely prefer subtle methods to other, more direct strategies. In situations where others might fail at being appropriately subtle, you find it only natural to act as such."
- "Your Power Parallel: Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Roosevelt's most famous saying, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" is very much in line with your sense of personal responsibility. In essence, he encouraged Americans to concentrate on what they could control - their emotional responses - rather than wasting energy worrying about the things they could not control - their environment (i.e. war). Roosevelt acknowledged the importance of knowing and working with your personal limitations as a means to gain influence."
9. Confidence Quiz: Top 12%
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_confidence_report
- "Confidence is the trait that makes people feel self-assured and certain that they have what it takes to be successful. You have very high confidence. As a result, you probably don't get ruffled by your day-to-day problems. Compared to most people, highly confident types like you tend to be emotionally stable. This indicates that for the most part, when problems surface, you're good at managing your emotional extremes and maintaining perspective. When given the option, it's likely you'll look for the bright side of any situation that presents itself."
- "Because you possess a high level of self-acceptance and belief in yourself, you can be very open and accepting of others. You're likely to withhold judgments of the people around you and assume the best, rather than being overly critical. You may also get a real thrill out of seeing the people you care about succeed."
- "Self-assurance is a kind of social magnet. Your strong confidence in yourself can also become an energetic force that propels you to avidly support those around you. Your assistance may extend to your family or your community, and perhaps even nationally or globally. After all, high confidence can lead to high ambitions. When things go awry, rather than engage in self-blaming behaviors, you tend to stay upbeat. You seem to have an implicit understanding that positivity is far more productive than guilt and shame."
- "Tickle's test measures the two primary components of self-confidence: Your self-esteem — how much you like yourself, and your perceived level of competence — how capable you feel."
- "Your score on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale is 39 out of 40. "One reason your self-esteem is high is because you have great self-talk habits. You appear to have a strong sense of self-worth that allows you to give yourself positive feedback and encouragement when you need it. You also probably know how to tell yourself to "keep your chin up" in the rough times."
- "Perceived level of competence: One reason your feelings about yourself are important is that people tend to seek out experiences that reinforce their beliefs about themselves.
- You perceive your intellectual competence to be high, with a score of 10 out of 10. Intellectual competence deals with how mentally sharp you are, how sound your judgment is, and how rational you are when making decisions. Your score indicates that you tend to believe you can approach a variety of intellectual problems and succeed. You probably also enjoy being involved in abstract conversations or working through complicated problems using the strength of your mind.
- You perceive your artistic or musical abilities to be high, with a score of 9 out of 10. You likely fancy yourself a creative type and may enjoy using your artistic or musical talents to create beautiful things for self-expression.
10. Handwriting Analysis Quiz: " Revealing Trait - Resilient"

11. True Talent Quiz: "Spatial Skills, Mechanical Skills, Abstract Reasoning Skills, Numerical Skills, Verbal and Organizational Skills"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_true_talent_2006-02-04
- "We looked at how difficult it is for people to get high scores on those particular talents, then ranked those talents in order of difficulty."
- "Your primary career talent is Spatial Ability. You scored a 10 out of 10 on our measure of spatial ability.
- "The ability to visualize objects in three-dimensional space can give you an unusual view of the world. You ... understand how figures can be manipulated and take on new forms. Because of this talent, you can probably imagine new designs easily, including anything from floor plans to page layouts [and advanced business process improvements and powerful web-based e-business applications] — and even 3D product prototypes. Your rare talent can make you less likely than most people to be content with the same old thing. As a result, in your work life you might enjoy proposing new ideas. Your ability to conceptualize objects in their completed form can make you a natural designer or engineer. Your spatial skills can also help you understand the finer points of how things work. Typically, new computer programs or specialized office equipment are no sweat to you. In a world where technology changes so rapidly, you may also find yourself rewarded for your ability to adapt."
- "Jobs that focus strongly on spatial ability typically require: Manipulation or alteration of existing objects; Understanding precise technical drawings or measurements [including business plans]; Excellent visual abilities; Visualization of hypothetical objects; A correct understanding of proportions and shapes."
- With this ability, I can often develop many new, innovative methods for improving an employer's marketing efforts and overall business operations.
- Your secondary career talent is Mechanical Ability. You scored a 10 out of 10 on our measure of mechanical ability.
- Given this talent, you're most likely curious about how things work and may enjoy tinkering with machines...you may have earned the reputation...as a real Mr. Fix-It [more so for business systems and healthcare innovations than anything else]. At times, people like you can be both self-sufficient and a great help to others. Having high mechanical abilities can also mean that you possess an almost intuitive understanding of physics and spatial reasoning. This can make you a great builder [business process improvement systems] or give you a talent for creating useful new products. Your mechanical skills allow you plenty of career options and the chance to work in multiple settings. No matter which opportunity you choose, chances are that you'll enjoy ... seeing the tangible result of your efforts."
- This ability greatly helps enable the building of new, innovative business process improvements easily for my employers.
- You scored a 10 out of 10 on our measure of Abstract Reasoning. Abstract reasoning refers to your ability to think complexly and see relationships between ideas that are not easily apparent. This kind of reasoning requires making inferences from both logical and creative sources of information. Abstract reasoning ability is a primary intellectual factor involved in strategy and the ability to accurately identify emerging business trends.
- You scored a 10 out of 10 on our measure of Numerical Ability. Numerical ability refers to your skill performing both basic and advanced mathematical calculations correctly. In addition, this test assessed your recognition of numerical patterns and ability to understand numbers in specific situational contexts.
- You scored a 9 out of 10 on our measure of Verbal Ability. Verbal aptitude refers not only to your range of vocabulary but also your ability to comprehend the relationship between different words. This test also examined your ability to correctly identify the meanings of popular proverbs or sayings...and gauged your skill forming inferences and understanding the precise meanings of metaphorical statements. People who score well on this talent tend to be good at work that requires interpreting or communicating ideas.
- I definitely excel in the writing aspect of Internet Marketing - rewriting a company's web pages and marketing materials to increase the readability and overall effectiveness of these materials.
- You scored a 10 out of 10 on the Organizational ability scale. Organizational ability is a skill that can help you in any job you choose. We assessed both your clerical and administrative skills. The test specifically focused on your abilities to be precise with details, proofread carefully, and arrange information effectively...few people can accomplish these skills consistently, quickly, and accurately ... you've got the right stuff when it comes to being methodical. In fact, you're probably on top of things big and small. People like you have developed careful systems that allow you to manage appointments, keep track of your belongings and projects, and bring ease to your daily tasks. In the work world, this skill can make you a model for efficiency -- and chances are, it already does.
12.Career Related Skills: Building and Design

13. 5-Factor Personality Quiz: "Strongest Quality - Conscientious"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/tickle_five_personality_details
There is a consensus among personality theorists that The Five Factor Model is the best current description of the structure of personality. The dimensions of this model, which describe five major domains or traits, identify the most important ways in which individuals differ across an infinite possibility of difference. This model is also referred to as OCEAN, which represents Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Negative emotionality. The development of this personality model has evolved over the last 70 years with numerous contributors. The questions on the test measure scores on 5 overarching personality qualities, or factors, as well as the 30 specific personality traits that make up those 5 factors. We then compared all of your scores to the thousands of other people who have taken this test to determine what sets you apart from the crowd:
- "You are the kind of person others depend on. You're competent, self-disciplined, and able to carry through with any plan you create. You've just got it together. You're also good at weighing the pros and cons of any situation and making sound, well-informed decisions."
- "Conscientiousness is a word that describes a conglomeration of several traits, including your level of confidence, how orderly you are, the extent to which you are dependable, how driven you are to be successful, how much self discipline you have, and whether you think through things before you act. Overall, it is, essentially, accountability."
- "Based on your scores, we can tell that you are open to experiences, and you have a wide variety of interests. In fact, you're more likely to seek a new experience for the first time, rather than do something you're already familiar with. When it comes right down to it, you love to learn and you're highly creative."
30 Dominant Personality Factors
- Your Activity rating is 100 out of 100. You're the one who's several steps ahead of the rest. You've got a fire in your belly that keeps you on the go and keeps you active and looking for something interesting and adventurous to do. It's even better if you've got someone [an employer] to share your drive and to do all of those activities with. Your determination and search for excitement spurs others on and gets them going.
- Your Ideas rating is 100 out of 100. Everyone has ideas. But as a personality trait, the word "ideas" refers to how broad your interests are and how strongly you're driven to explore your ideas and consider new thoughts. This indicates that you've got a strong curiosity that propels you forward. Sometimes particular experiences will fuel your strong motivation to understand the world, and suddenly you'll be exploring a whole new set of possibilities. When something really piques your curiosity, you will work hard to figure it out, knowing that just the process of searching for the answer will teach you about how the world works.
- Your Competence rating is 100 out of 100. Competence is the feeling that you know what you're doing, that you're able to do what you need to do, and that you can do it well. This means that you feel competent in general and know that there are some things that you really excel at. This is great, because a sense of competence is also associated with higher self-esteem. A greater sense of competency allows for freer exploration of ideas: if you're afraid of failing, it is harder to try new things or consider new ideas. It is also a practical trait to have in that, when you believe that you can handle anything, difficult and stressful situations are easier to deal with.
- Your Excitement-seeking rating is 99 out of 100. People who are excitement seeking just can't wait to get their hands on a new thrill. [Challenges teach us - we become wise, resourceful and highly capable of excelling in a broad variety of challenging situations.] They find the exciting element in everything, and if it's not thrilling enough, they search for more. This means that you're full of positive energy. Always searching for something new and exciting, which ultimately leads you to a wide variety of experiences — some amazing ones, some not so amazing. One thing is certain: All the while, you're learning about life and yourself. The more experiences you have, as a general rule, the wiser you'll be.
- Your Orderly rating is 99 out of 100. When it comes to personality, order means you know where all your belongings are. You know what is going to happen and when. When things are orderly, you can find what you need when you need it. You have it together. You have things set up so that your life doesn't feel like a mess half of the time. You're organized, which is helpful both at home and at work, and in cooperating with anyone else who isn't quite so organized. To be organized, you need to be prepared, which you almost always are. You're also likely to establish routines that support your desire for order. At times, this can lead to something of a rut but usually is very useful and positive.
- Your Achievement-Striving rating is 98 out of 100. When a person desires great success, or always seems to be reaching for the highest star in the sky, they're likely to score high in the achievement-striving trait. This means that you care about your achievements in life. You don't want to look back at the end of your life only to realize you didn't accomplish anything. This may make you a little competitive at times, but that only adds to the excitement and thrill you get from accomplishing your goal or at least working in that direction. To be as achievement-oriented as you are requires an ability to imagine the future. If you can't picture yourself [spatial skills] as succeeding at whatever you're working toward, it makes it harder to actually get there. Working to accomplish something, however, can take away your time and energy and can even shut you down emotionally at times — so keep a careful eye on yourself and your actions when striving to achieve any goals you may have and make sure your life is balanced.
- Your Vulnerability rating is 0 out of 100. The heat is on, people are starting to panic, and everyone is stressed. When times are stressful, falling apart typically just makes the situation more difficult to handle. Resilience and vulnerability are two ends of the spectrum of vulnerability. You're on the resilient side of the spectrum. You're not easily sidetracked by life's ups and downs, because you know that you can handle them. You've got a strong rational mind that you can utilize when times get stressful . Rather than relying solely on your emotions to guide you during difficult times, you bring logic into the picture to help you figure out what to do. This helps to provide a little distance between you and the stress or and usually helps you to function more effectively and to cope with the current problem more easily than you would have otherwise been able to.
- Your Tender-Mindedness rating is 0 out of 100. This means you're relatively more rational and less tender-minded. You're very logical, knowing that this is something you can rely on to get you through any difficult situation. And even if you don't consciously think it's the better way to be, you're just more naturally inclined to rely on logic to guide you in the face of an important decision. You are also not prone to take your time meandering about when it comes to making such decisions. You weigh the pros against the cons, and then based on the facts, you make a decision. Of course not all decisions can be dealt with in this way; this is simply your preferred method.
- Your Impulsiveness rating is 23 out of 100. This means that you're inclined to think first and act later. You're not likely to suddenly find that you have grossly overspent your budget or that you've said something that yet again you wish you could take back. You know how you're acting and are in control of your emotions, and this makes you more levelheaded than others.
- Your Discouragement rating is 24 out of 100. When something gets in your way, are you likely to give up or keep going? When you're excited about your ideas, is it easy for someone to come along and discourage you from believing them, or are you likely to continue holding your beliefs despite what others are saying? You're not one to back down from reaching a goal you feel strongly about. People may try to dissuade you, but you aren't likely to budge. You can take a lot of stress and a lot of criticism before you'll lapse into a frenzy of self-doubt. This is usually due to an internal security about who it is that you are rather than an inflated confidence or rigidity. You're able to sort out what is nonsense from what is good advice especially when it comes to your own personal goals.
- Your Compliance rating is 25 out of 100. Compliance is the opposite of competitive. If you're playing with someone who doesn't mind losing and doesn't need to win, you're seeing compliance in action. More generally, compliance is the tendency to go along with things, to avoid creating resistance. Even if you wanted to go along with what other people want you to do - which you don't - it would be difficult for you. You've got a lot going on, and a lot you want to accomplish, and simply going along with someone else's plans just doesn't fit with who you are or what you are planning for your future. When someone gets too pushy, this can lead you to react quickly and negatively, bringing out that slight temper of yours. But mostly, you're just energetically pursuing your own dreams, and being overly compliant would make it more difficult to reach your goals.
- Your Aesthetics rating is 38 out of 100. This means that, relative to others, you're more concerned with the meaning of things and the underlying structure than you are with surface appearance or beauty. While others may be captured by the radiance of a beautiful painting, you realize that art has a limited value, and that there is only so much you can actually do with art. Being less tempted by beautiful things, as you appear to be, you're typically better equipped to see through the best of marketing efforts. This is because you're not entirely taken by appearances and can hold back more easily on whatever it is that tempts you.
- Your Deliberation rating is 91 out of 100. To deliberate is to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision and to really think things through before you do something. You like to think things through. Rather than jumping to conclusions or making up your mind and then not taking in any more evidence to the contrary, you prefer to weigh the possibilities and then, only when you're through collecting information, make a decision. Others are likely to experience you as levelheaded and rational but may not understand where all your questions come from. Because of this, you can also come off as relatively serious to others; they may interpret your questions and reluctance to take things on faith as unnecessarily skeptical.
- Your Positive Emotions rating is 89 out of 100. The trait of "positive emotions" refers to whether or not you generally feel good about your life. Is your mood usually positive and light or dark and heavy? People high in positive emotions love their life; people who are low tend to have more negative thoughts and feelings. You light up people's lives. You bring hope and trust to any situation, and you believe that anything is possible. Generally, though your convictions are strong, you're not bothered when other people disagree with you — or, more accurately — you don't let it get in your way. You know people mean well but that doesn't mean they're right. Your kind heart and positive spirit keep you and others around you feeling good about life and its possibilities.
- Your Feelings rating is 88 out of 100. Everyone has feelings, but some tend to pay more attention to them than others. You believe that emotions are valuable and are less likely than others to bottle up any emotion , deeming it "bad" or "wrong" to experience. You're also more likely to learn from your feelings regardless of what they are. What's more, you believe in people. You are the person friends come to when things get rough , partly because you're caring and prepared for any emotional situation, and partly because of your belief in human nature itself.
- Your Straight-forward rating is 88 out of 100. People who get right to the point are straightforward. Beating around the bush, telling a complete story before giving the "bottom line," and so forth, are not so straightforward. So, you're relatively direct. If you've got a strong opinion, you're going to share it. And when someone tries to challenge you, you're usually up for it and unlikely to back down just because things get intense. Being direct usually indicates being driven as well. You don't want to waste time or effort — being direct gets you there quickest. And since you know where you're going, there's no reason to beat around the bush or say things any other way but directly. This is not to say that you aren't able to be diplomatic at times; just that you prefer to take the direct route when possible.
- Your Assertiveness rating is 88 out of 100. Assertiveness is generally considered to be a positive trait. It is the ability to share your opinions with others and to speak up for yourself, especially when it counts. This means that you're able to state your opinions clearly and to stand up for what you believe in. No one is going to walk all over you because you have boundaries and are not afraid to put them up when someone is too pushy or inconsiderate. You know who you are, and you're not afraid of putting yourself out there. You've learned what to expect from people, and you have come to trust your own opinion over others' opinions, especially when it comes to your own personal life.
- Your Dutiful rating is 88 out of 100. To be dutiful is to be reliable and to follow through on your obligations. You're the kind of person other people can count on. You're "the rock" that others lean on. Whatever the occasion, you're there to help, there for your friends, there when needed. You have your stuff together — otherwise how could you really follow through on your desire to help? Typically, being dutiful means you're honest, too. And as if all this wasn't good enough, you're also unlikely to look down on others. As long as you don't forget that no one can always be "the rock" and that you also need to lean on others at times, you can lead a balanced life. You can know that it's not just you who's holding down the fort. The greatest leaders are those who provide and care for others, including their employer.
Mid-Range Personality Scores indicate balance in the following personality factors rather than "low scores". Balance in certain personality factors is an essential leadership quality, just as extremely high and extremely low scores on other personality factors are also essential leadership characteristics. - Your Warmth rating is 75 out of 100. This indicates that you're a warm person who really loves people. You like meeting people, helping people, listening to their suggestions, participating in groups, being there for your friends, and so on. You're the kind of friend that everyone wants to have. You're trusting and open, and others around you can sense it. You make others comfortable just by being present.
- Your Anger rating is 25 out of 100. This trait refers to how quickly you grow angry and how likely you are to get angry at all. It takes quite a bit to get you going. You're not likely to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. This is in part because you're generally easygoing about things, not needing to prove yourself all the time. Therefore, someone can be provocative and you're not necessarily going to take it personally.
- Your Modesty rating is 75 out of 100. This means that you don't let success inflate your ego. There are some people who are great and let the world know about it. And there are others who are great but don't toot their own horn in public - and in general, aren't tempted to. Getting a compliment doesn't send you soaring to the moon with thoughts about how wonderful you are. You are more likely to say something positive about another person's good qualities than you are to get others to pay attention to your greatness. You're also less worried about impressing others - more likely to stick to the truth rather than exaggerating to get others' attention. This also makes you less likely to try to "win" - if you're not making great claims about your greatness, you don't have to worry about defending that greatness every time there is a chance to potentially lose at something. This makes it easier for others to trust you, knowing that you're not likely to "one-up" them just to inflate your own ego.
- Your Values rating is 75 out of 100. Most people have some values that they are willing to reconsider from time to time. But there are other values that are harder to question - especially those you've been practicing for years or that have helped you make difficult decisions in the past. Generally speaking, however, some people are more willing than others to reexamine their values. This means that you're relatively flexible and are willing to change your beliefs if you're faced with evidence that they may no longer be applicable or functional. You want to believe what is true, rather than hide behind untrue beliefs that protect you or make you feel more comfortable. You're open to truly questioning your outlook. When it comes down to it, you're all about possibility rather than subscribing to a rigid, unchangeable set of values, and you use that to make the best out of life.
- Your Actions rating is 63 out of 100. The word "actions" for the purposes of this kind of personality test means the extent to which you gravitate toward new and unusual experiences or stick with what you know you like - with what is familiar. This indicates that you gravitate toward the new and unusual. These types of experiences provide ample material for you to learn from, so you pursue such experiences whenever possible. In general, you're more flexible and open to changing your thoughts and opinions about things than most. Overall, just as the magnet is attracted to the refrigerator, you're inherently attracted to new experiences. The lack of stability that bothers some people when there is too much newness may only serve to spur you on.
- Your Trust rating is 63 out of 100. How you look at the world influences what you see in it. If you expect people to be dishonest and hurtful, you will be quick to recognize it when a person's behavior might fit that description. If you expect people to be honest and kind, you will be more liable to notice that behavior instead. It's basically a "what you see is what you get" type of philosophy. Depending on how others have treated you in the past, you may have a keener eye for distrustful behavior than you do for honesty or kindness. This means that you see the best in others. You believe that most people are honest and well-intentioned. This comes from a general optimism toward life and an eye for beauty whether in other people or other things. Your patience for others' imperfections helps you to not jump to conclusions about them. Also, you tend to be trustworthy yourself, and so it is easy for you to imagine that others are just as trustworthy. This may or may not be true in any given case, but giving others the benefit of the doubt can often help to foster positive relationships with them and increase the chances that they will in fact act honorably toward you.
- Your Gregarious rating is 63 out of 100. This trait refers to the extent to which you put yourself "out there" socially. Are you the one walking up to others at a party, introducing yourself and shaking hands? Or are you the one who prefers to hang back and wait and see what happens? This indicates that you're the type that is more likely to make an effort to meet others than you are to wait for a chance meeting to occur. Being around people really gives you a charge; it feeds you in an important way. And you've got a lot to share - being around others gives you the opportunity to tell others about your feelings and thoughts. You're charismatic - when you talk, people listen. You get jazzed up about something and your enthusiasm is contagious. People can sense your interest in making others happy and can feel your enthusiasm when you talk.
- Your Self-discipline rating is 50 out of 100. In this context, to be self-disciplined means to be organized and to be able to remain calm in the face of confusion or high levels of stress, so that crisis times don't pull you off course. Self-control and the ability to delay gratification are key here. We're all faced with things we don't want to do from time to time. And what do most of us do in that situation? Procrastinate. You may, for instance, get sidetracked by something more "fun" and conveniently forget what it was that you had originally intended to do. Where do you lie on the continuum of self-discipline? This means you're relatively less likely to procrastinate, and that in general, you are able to count on yourself to get things done and to do them on time. You're able to pass up life's temptations when they could potentially distract you from a present goal.
- Your Altruism rating is 50 out of 100. Volunteering to help others and lending a helping hand when you can are examples of altruism in action. Just listening to a friend on the phone when they are in a crisis can be an act of altruism as well. We're all altruistic to a certain extent — however, some people make it a way of life to help others, whereas most of us simply do what we can as things come to us. You're generally upstanding and kind. You genuinely like and appreciate other people, and therefore want to give what you can to help them enjoy their lives. Plus you know that you can help - you see the way you can affect others and are thus inspired to do something for them. The combination of your kindness and steadfastness only serves to support your altruistic tendencies, to make you more likely to actually act when you get the urge to help.
- Your Fantasy rating is 50 out of 100. This means that, relative to others, you have an active imagination. You're more of a daydreamer than a realist [I disagree strongly!], and you love to think up new ideas and to imagine new possibilities. It also means that you're more curious than others and are able to find beauty in most of the things you see. The only hitch is that in the absence of a variety of interesting experiences you may begin to grow bored. Also, if the task on hand is only mildly of interest, procrastination can kick in.
- Your Worry rating is 50 out of 100. Worrisome people generally feel relaxed and carefree; others, anxious. This personality trait is the continuum between these two extremes. This means that you're generally prone to worry when things get rough [not due to fear, due to my interests in excelling and helping others; so this primarily a responsibility-based score.]. The stress is high, and the worry kicks in. You may also be a little unhappy with your life in general [only because I have visionary skills and related goals, so I know that there is much more I can accomplish on a much larger scale; so, excelling in smaller situations is very important to me.], which feeds the worry, and which in turn feeds the general unhappiness [I'm happy, not unhappy! :)]. On bad days, you're likely to think nothing works out the way you want it to and that everything seems to be difficult. And when you're thinking everything will turn out wrong, there is naturally a lot to think about. By focusing on what could go right, you may find that things take a turn for the better for you.
See Leadership Qualities and Level 5 Leadership. - Your Self-conscious rating is 63 out of 100. When in an uncertain situation, you can either put yourself out there or hold back and wait to see what happens. "You don't want to be the center of attention and will do whatever it takes to avoid it." In some ways, I would agree. In other ways, I would strongly disagree. Agree, because I'm often in some type of analytical thought process. I'd rather sit back, observe and learn. Being the center of attention changes this process drastically to socially acceptable presentation and leadership thoughts and actions - including being responsible for my words and actions. I disagree for other situations. When I want to put myself out there, I can handle that pretty well.
14. Pymetrics Most Unique Qualities: "Effort, Learning and Fairness"
https://johnlutz.com/personal-profile/tests/pymetrics-report
Pymetrics testing (https://www.pymetrics.ai/) utilizes behavioral assessments to evaluate the success potential of job seekers. Rather than focusing on backward-looking resumes or self-reported questionnaires, Pymetrics testing assesses objective behavioral data that measures a job seeker's true potential. In doing so, Pymetrics testing not only looks at an individual's current skill level, but also allows for the candidate to be assessed on their potential.
A pymetrics profile describes cognitive and emotional results, and how they compare to the general population. Pymetrics profile categories measure natural tendencies that are quite stable and tend not to change over time.
Pymetrics assessment profile categories (attention, decision making, effort, emotion, fairness, focus, generosity, learning and risk tolerance: https://www.pymetrics.com/results/categories/) are based upon decades of neuroscience and psychological research.
100,000+ data points collected, 9 categories aggregated across the test's results, 1 unique pymetrics profile generated per person.
Uniqueness is the measure of how much you stand out from the general population within a pymetrics category. Your Most Unique Qualities:
- Effort: You tend to approach your work selectively, focusing on the tasks that will give the highest reward for the time invested.
- Learning: You tend to learn quickly from mistakes. You may find it easy to detect patterns in your environment, allowing you to adapt your behavior and respond to feedback with ease.
- Fairness: You tend to judge most situations as fair
