The Pierley/Redford personality test.



Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.


I sorta wonder if they just give everyone the same result. Not too much of a stretch to think someone on the web would be kind of introverted.

Well that was weird. WTF with those questions? This is what I got:

You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.

I took it again and got a completely different string of blather! I may have forgotten a couple of my answers, but still. I'm kind of wondering if they use the old carnival trick of statements that seem to apply to everybody ("You are artistic - but misunderstood!") and paste them together.

I'm not entirely sure what my particular mess says about me, if anything. That I'm basically nuts?

Hrm. Yours looks in some ways more me than mine. I am often quiet and sulky - it is my True Form.

My turn: (and what was up with question 12? They're both the same! My husband glanced at it and said: "Boobs." Anyway:

Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring,
you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.

Well, the test itself was weird, but I think the results are sound, at least for me.

I THOUGHT BOOBS TOO! :D

Too bad I don't have my disturbing boob icon on this account.

Are you really an IRS guy?

I wish! Then I wouldn't owe them six hundred bucks! I do know a person who works for the IRS, does that count?
