My persona(lity) dna.
Feb 4th, 2008 by B.
Whoa, who knew I had so much trust in others?? And I suppose I should be offended by the low (ok, almost nonexistent) score in femininity, but I find it oddly comforting (i’ve always been a tomboy).
Overall I’d say it’s fairly accurate. Try it for yourself here & let me know your results…

- You trust those around you to do the right thing, so you tend not to get involved in other people’s affairs.
- You have fewer friendships than some, but the relationships you do have are very meaningful and important to you.
- Your careful and practical observation of your environment has led you to understand that others’ situations can be very complex.
- Because of this, you are slow to pass judgments on others, even if sometimes you can’t see what it is about certain things that upsets them.
- You tend to enjoy the world through ideas and reflection, which allows you to get a lot out of the time you spend alone.
- Your friends would describe you as laid-back and easy-going.
- Your reserved nature, understanding of the world, and faith in others make you RESPECTFUL.
- Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.
- You’re in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.
- Never one to pass on an adventure, you’re consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.
- Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you’ve learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.
- The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.
- Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.
- You’re not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.
- You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.
- Your independent streak and masculine nature allow you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts.
- You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
- You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people’s notions of style.
- The control you feel over your life is empowering to you– you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don’t really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.
- There’s more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.
- Try letting your insight into the world and trust of others allow you to understand the feelings of those around you.
On this day..

So, I enjoyed the DNA and went out to take it myself, but then realized that I could not figure out how to embed the HTML in the blog entry itself, nor how to copy the info explanation. Can you give me a quick tutorial, if it’s not too inconvenient? Btw, my masculity was pretty high as well!
that was fun and different… i especially liked emptying the buckets… mine came up as generous dreamer… not exactly sure where the generous part comes in… though it appears that my whopping score of 2 in extroversion played a part in that… all in all, i had no score over 56 (in spontaneity)
still… most of the statements that i got were pretty true…

I have slightly low femininity AND masculinity. How do you explain that? And I really can’t tell why it says I have very high empathy.
Overall, I’m a benevolent inventor.

I think I came out a Benevolent Creator. I was also high masculinity, low femininity, which kind of surprised me. Not on the masculine part, but on the feminine part, I figured I’d be high in both. Hmm.

Mine came in Attentive, interesting test. I’ll have to study it and see if it reflects me truly…ciao and thanks for the link. I’m going to post the results with your permission.

G in Berlin - I had trouble importing the results too. To get them the way I wanted them I had to take the code for cube and embed it with this command:
You just need to add your specific code between the two code brackets, like this:For the bar graph just highlight the whole area you want to copy, hit control/c and then paste it into the ‘write text’ portion of your posting page. Once you save changes it should show up.
The bullets I just copied individually and added one at a time.
I did all of this using wordpress, I don’t know how different it might/might not be with blogspot, but give it a try… you never know.
Jeanni - Heh, and I thought I was bad with a 12 for extroversion… it’s why I love you so much.
Janine - Maybe it means you’ve got the best of worlds?
Morecowbell - At least I’m not alone…
Rositta - Feel free to post away! It’s an easy blog post, that’s for sure.
I’m an Animated Inventor - that was a fun quiz! Will post the results on my blog.

I got generous leader.
I got a whopping 12 in extroversion and authoritarianism.
Masculinity 82, Femininity 52
92 in openness.
Well, I had little chance of doing it, but I actually managed to score lower femininity than my better half. I came in at a whopping 0% femininity. LOL and with 90% masculinity, at least she’s not more of a man than I am. LOL
Overall it said I am a cautious leader. I have leadership qualities, but I’m introverted (16% extroversion) enough to not use it all that often.
Oh yeah, I have almost no attention to style and I’m about as spontaneous as a two-toed sloth.
I’ll sit back and think about my results.. Seems fitting, being that I am so cautious.
I’m a Benevolent Director. My femininity is also lower than my masculinity, but both are very low!! I guess I am gender-free!
