Here's mine:

Norah, your score is 9% consistent with a normal personality profile.

You're least like others in the area of imagination.

So, I'm not normal either.....

I thought there was no way to beat a score like that, but I took the test

and it told me:

" , your score is 1% consistent with a normal personality profile.

You're least like others in the area of gender identity. "

I didn't even stop to think about the answers -- I was answering

automatically at high speed. I wonder, if I actually tried, could I manage

to make it claim I'm 0% normal? *snicker*

Your score is 6% consistent with a normal personality profile. You're least

like others in the area of equanimity.

Whatever that means.....

Take care,

Gail :-)

Apparently this was my result...

Tucker, your score is 28% consistent with a normal personality

profile. You're least like others in the area of mood.

I'm rather surprised that I'd get a 1%. I thought more people would

answer the way I did.

I tried again, trying to answer the way I thought normal people would,

and I only scored 15%. I guess my normality simulation makes me seem

five times more normal than I actually am, but it's still only a

fraction of what normal really is. <g>

Then I tried it answering the opposite of my real answer. The result--

9% normal, with my most normal trait being extraversion.

Is this thing a sham? Can anyone get a score above, say, 50% normal?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Which of the e-mode tests is it? What is it called? I'm having trouble

finding it.

And you're probably right about the tests. Having taken a number of online

tests like this, I think they're worded in a way that would make *anyone*

seem strange.

Wow you guys are " outliers " I wonder if you are on the top end or bottom end

of the bell curve.

I guess the top end like the 99th percentile.

;--)

You guys aren't worried that you are being tracked by the Feds now, are you?

It is the " Tickle Multiple Personality Inventory. "

The reason the MMPI (the test that inspired this one) has so fascinated

me was that it was one of the things that Iowa authorities used to

decide a woman with AS was not qualified to raise her own kids. Right

before this list was founded, this was going on, on another list... mom

had a very sneaky, manipulative daughter that realized that claiming

that mom's boyfriend had abused her would get her attention... daughter

got to go live with grandma while the state investigated, and the state

concluded that there was no basis to the charges.

The CPS folks said that this was one of the most sneaky, dishonest kids

they had ever seen, and that she was lying about the abuse. However,

last I heard from her mom, they did not want to return the child to her,

because in the process of investigating, they had learned that mom is

pretty unusual. She did not play the game properly; they ask questions,

and you're supposed to give the " pat " answers they expect. You're

supposed to pretend that you appreciate what they are doing, it appears,

and you're supposed to be nice to them and kind of kiss their asses.

This mom did not; she told them what she really thought when they asked

her, and they did not appreciate it a bit. She complained that they

told her they wanted her to be honest, then they penalized her for doing

so (and I do think that if an NT was really honest, as the CPS folks

said they wanted, the NT would have said the same; no one appreciates

having their life disrupted and having their kids taken away for false

allegations).

The CPS people gave her the MMPI, and the result of that was a big red

flag for them... she was way too abnormal to be a good mom, they

thought. They were really quite upset with the MMPI results; this, it

seemed, was the hard proof that she was no good as a mom, while her

answers to their questions were merely an affront to their own perceived

authority. So even though the abuse allegations were false, they were

not looking to give her daughter back, and in fact they had designs on

taking her other child from her, an AS/HFA boy that was doing pretty

well in school and otherwise, and mom was afraid that they would do to

him what the CPS people in that area do to all the autistic kids-- ship

them off to some horrible institution, which would mess his life up

immeasurably.

She (mom) was supposed to be one of the charter members of this group,

but even though she agreed to join the list when I was in the planning

stage, she never responded to the invitation, and she disappeared

shortly after the list was formed. My last few emails that got through

to her were never answered; ones after that bounced because her inbox

was full, so they never got through. One other woman (who knew her

better than I) called her phone and got no answer. I never heard from

her again.

" Colin, your score is 1% consistent with a normal personality profile. You're

It may surprise you to know that most people deviate from the norm in one way or

another. In other words, it's normal not to be completely normal! And what is

normal? " Normal " is just the average score that is most common for the

attributes we're testing, but many people still score outside of this range. "

This guy speaks my language!

I got 3% normal, and least like others in mood.

Mood doesn't really mean that- it means optimist or pessimist; it's

about outlooks on life; according to the test I'm 100% cynical,

pessimistic, and dark. That was touching, for them to say that, you

know. ;o)

The test is silly and vauge, with stereotypes. The question " do you

like pink? " is meaningless; SO WHAT if someone likes pink or any

other color? And WHAT shade of pink- that really is too vauge. Are

they assuming that more feminine people like pink? Coral pink or

Pepto pink? Who knows.

What if someone likes blue? That doesn't mean anything. They also

had lots of black and white answers; I wanted to say " sometimes " vs.

True or False.

Hi,

For what it's worth, here's mine:

, your score is 4% consistent with a normal personality profile.

You're most like others in the area of mood.

The example you cite about the woman who lost her daughter is one of the

reasons I despise social service agencies, therapists, and social workers.

And the fact that the daughter can lie about being abused, and continue to

be kept away from the mother despite CPS *knowing* she lied, confirms to me

what I've always believed about the current child abuse laws--as the law is

now, kids know they have the ultimate weapon against their parents. If

parents do something a kid doesn't like, the kid can report them, lying like

crazy, and get away with it. Because after all, the child should always be

believed, innocent things that they are... <sarcasm>

I know, Jeanette. I believe there was one which said, " Rules exist for a

reason, and should be followed... " Well.....sort of depends on the rule,

doesn't it? There are a lot of, in my opinion, unjust societal rules.

And I too, found a lot of the questions stereotypical, particularly ones

relating to gender.

As a test, this is on the level with those Cosmopolitan quizzes, but it's

still interesting to see how I fare in comparison to others on this list.

I haven't done this emode test (too busy) so I haven't seen the

questions about colours but my guess would be that's part of the gender

identity section of the test. If I recall correctly the Cogiati test

(spelling?) which is one of the tools used to decide if someone has

gender identity disorder or not (i.e. if they're transexual) was to do

with red and blue and which you think of first when you see both or

something. I took the Cogiati test a few years ago for amusement

although it is only designed for men who are possibly male to female

transexuals and although I had to adapt a few questions/answers to

account for my being female (like a question about whether you like to

wear womens clothes.. like duh I'm a woman so it woudln't be abnormal if

I did) the result of the test said I was an androgyne and right in the

middle of the gender spectrum.

Hi,

I'm a 3%er. I still don't understand if that means that people as unusual as us

are in the 1.5% at either end of the bell curve. I mean if the " spectrum "

measures ultra stability to ultra instability, for instance, are we in the top

1.5%

or the bottom 1.5%?

Or both? :-)

I am the most unusual...or whatever in somatic sensitivity...what does that

mean? Besides that I am very compatible with you? :-0

OK, so who answered that they like pink?

I can't give a yes or no to a bunch of them, as was noted by Clay...I think.

The

test is goofy. Like: am I easily angered? (I think that was one of the

questions)

well, I hardly let on when I am, and only rarely let it blast, but I get angry

often

enough...

I think all politicians are liars, doesn't everybody?

I was given that in hospital by a psychiatrist and I said " an ink blot "

when I was asked what I saw. That answer wasn't good enough so I started

making up really sick twisted stories about what was in them and had

fun. I did the same when forced to sit the MMPI as an involuntary

patient. They say it's not possible to fudge the MMPI but I did. It came

out saying all sorts of scary and totally untrue things about me.

, your score is 28% consistent with a normal personality profile.

You're most like others in the area of extroversion.
