I just saw this over on US Meets UK, and thought it was a great little personality test, so I thought I'd share too. Usually I feel like the results of personality tests don't seem to really describe me, but I thought this one was right on the money. Plus, it was a good way to kill 20 minutes on a slow afternoon!

Here's the link to try it yourself: PersonalDNA

After I took the test, I found out that I'm a Benevolent Director.



Which means:

• As a DIRECTOR, you combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility that allow you to realize your vision.
• You are practical and pay attention to the details that others tend to miss.
• By focusing on what is real and concrete, you achieve more than those who always have their heads in the clouds.
• When it comes to what really matters in your life, you are confident in your ability to succeed.
• Having beautiful things in your life gives you pleasure and satisfaction - you have a keen eye for style.
• Even when problems present themselves, deep down you know you will overcome these challenges.
• When routines get too familiar, you become bored and start looking for ways to spice things up.
• You are open to new types of experiences – you are not afraid to take a risk on something new.
• You have a highly developed sense of taste – you know what looks good on you, in your home, and in the world at large.
• Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts
• You much prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute. Your decisions are well thought out, and you're not the least bit impulsive.
• You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
• Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.
• If you want to be different:
• Occasionally let yourself dream a little more, even if it doesn't seem practical or efficient.
• You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT
• You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.
• Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.
• You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.
• You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.
• Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.
• Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.
• Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.
• If you want to be different:
• You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!
• Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

I'd say this is a pretty accurate description of how I am!

If you took (or have already taken) this PersonalDNA test, did you find it to be more accurate than most personality tests?
