One Question Personality Test
83One Question Personality Test
Would you like to know more about yourself and how you are perceived by others? If you don’t, you should. Why? Because each one of us may be two people: the person we think we are and the person other people think we are.
Wasn’t it Robert Burns, the famous Scottish poet, who said way back in the 1700s – no, although I’m older than dirt, he was not a personal acquaintance – ““O wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oursel's as ithers see us!”
Here is a very simple one-question personality test. All you have to do is answer one simple question. Are you up for it? Okay. This is the scenario:
You have your entire day tomorrow free of any obligation whatsoever. You don’t have to go to work. You don’t have to pick the kids up at school. You don’t have to walk the dog. You don't have to pick up your mother-in-law at the airport. (Just kidding). You don’t have any responsibilities whatsoever.
The Question: What would you like to do most tomorrow?
Below is a list of sixteen choices. Pick the one you would most like to do more than any other. Just one.
Don’t agonize over it. Just choose the one phrase that describes what you would like to do the most tomorrow. Write it down.

Unbelievable, my choice turned out to be pretty accurate - astonishing! What brilliant research you have done here to produce such an outstanding hub. Voting up and pressing your buttons.
Loved this Hub - great job. The result was pretty accurate too. Rated up and sharing on Facebook.
OMG! I am sitting here with my mouth wide open, LOL. This is amazing, my choice described me to a "t". I am definitely the "IDEALIST / SEARCHER", even being impatient with routine details. I was thinking before choosing, that the choices would be influenced by what I am experiencing at the moment such as my friends living in other States, so was not expecting astonishing results.
Vote up, awesome, shared in Facebook!
I'm not telling. Lynda
I knew it!
Well, I chose the "artist" profile, and must admit much of it fits. These tests are always fun, a bit like horoscopes, general enough to cover a wide range of attributes and flattering enough to avoid too much scrutiny.
So come on, spill it...what was your choice?
CP
Simply awesome, brilliant! I just shared this hub (Thanks VioletSun) and invited my FB friends to answer the question :)
My answer it`s me! How fun is that!? :D
@ Christopher - Head out for the country ;)
Nice to make your acquaintance, no clue. Delighted you found this test interesting and pretty much on the mark. You are definitely welcome. Thanks for visiting.
Hi, acaetnna - of course your choice was pretty accurate. Thanks for recognizing my 'brilliant research.' They laughed when I sat down at the piano, too. Of course, that was warranted, since I do not play the piano.
It was my pleasure to produce this 'outstanding' hub. Thank you for the up and dancing on the buttons. :)
Dear suziecat- thank you for loving this hub. I'm not surprised it was pretty accurate. I do have ESP, you know. And thanks for the up and the FB sharing which is always greatly appreciated.
You can close your mouth now, VioletSun, you'll catch a germ or a virus that way. So happy that your choice described you perfectly - I'm not amazed at all, of course. Congrats on your choice - you ARE a special person. And our personality does not change substantially when friends move - just our emotions.
Wow - up, awesome and shared in FB - you are a special, special person.
So, Lynda, you're not telling? Don't have to, m'luv. I know who you are - kind, compassionate, caring, intelligent, etc., etc.
You knew it, mckbirdbks? Good for you. Cross my palm with silver and my lips are sealed.
Very accurate personality test. But why the Schwarzeneggers for my pick - Contemplate your perfect home? While I have always admired Arnold, and even met him once, I don't think too highly of Maria. Jealous maybe.
Interesting to see that even Robert Burns plagiarized :-)))
At first I was a bit "miffed" at how my choice was interpreted, but then I realised that my annoyance was a sign of it's accuracy.
Guess which one it was.
Interesting hub drbj but I wouldn't have chosen any of those thing - which could probably explain a lot LOL! What type of person are you if you would choose to walk along a beach and then find a spot to sunbathe and read a book?
You told me not to agonize too much over it so my instinct went with have a conversation with a friend. Very flattering thanks drbj!!! All I need to do know is work out which country to be the president of and what crown and earrings to wear.
Good fun and pretty accurate as well!
That was really accurate. A very good hub. I chose conversation with a friend.
Well done. In fact, we are at least tweo people. We project an image of who we are to others but we also know who we really are. Something to think about. I have many times.
Up, useful and awesome.
The Frog
This was fun and somewhat accurate. I may have a multiple personality!
A lot of hard work has paid off - you've given us a clever, entertaining and obviously accurate tool to give us more insight into ourselves. Needless to say, I found my choice yielded uncanny results. Great hub, take a bow!
oops I have to say that my choice is the complete opposite of my character, couldn't have been more like chalk and cheese, but great hub and enjoyed the finding out. x
Drbj! You are amazing! You just are. I love yout tsets:)! Lol!
What an intriguing hub, drbj! The one I chose was partially correct, but I'm actually an amalgam of three of the choices! I took the MBTI years ago (plus a number of other personality-type tests)and learned essentially the same things about myself. Great hub! Jaye
Hi, Lela. We have something else in common. I met 'Ahnold' once, too. I selected the Schwarzeneggers because they are one of the few couples I am aware of with the same personality preferences.
Though it is often said opposites attract, that doesn't seem to hold true in their case.
Delighted that the test was very accurate for you.
Drbj - I just realized I didn't say, I picked imagining how I could make the world a better place. (but I just got home from my volunteer job)! Now which one would you choose? Of course, you don't have to answer, but I'm curious about that one!
Welcome, dear dimi. I'm in a quandary concerning Robert Burns. Who did he plagiarize? I've always believed that quote about seeing ourselves as other see us was his, all his.
As always an interesting hub from you! At first I was a bit sceptic about where this was going since self tests usually end up fitting almost everyone no matter how you answer the questions. But this test was different and so descriptive on those different personalities! I only have one problem with this article; I couldn’t choose a choice; do you have any personality description for such a person:) No, joking aside, I did choose two choices; imagine how the world could be improved and contemplating your perfect home. Those two described me perfectly, so I guess I am two personalities!
Thanks for a very enjoyable read of a wonderful hub! Voted up!
Tina
An "Artist," eh, Christopher? Delighted that much of the description fits.
As for me, since you asked, I can be either the Journalist or the Leader/Instructor - whichever the situation demands. Also known as a mild case of multiple personality disorder. :)
Oh, my. I thought I was coming to this latest hub of yours to read it, but somehow I landed on your profile page. Since it was in the form of an interview (possibly a personality test)- I accepted it and read the interview. Just one shock. I misread this question - "Q – Which did/do you enjoy the most?" - and read an "L" into that "did/do" combo. It really shook me up! My annual eye examination is obviously TOO long past due. . . .!! (or something is!) YIKES!!
Now to see if I can do better reading the actual hub! I'll be back after I have read it!
Nice to meet you, funride (thanks, VS). Delighted by your 'awesome' and 'brilliant' comments, too. Anyone who shares this hub with FB friends is my kind of friend, too.
So it's fun to be you? Then you are in very good shape!
aha - several of the choices interested me greatly and comprise much that I do in my relatively "free time", but this was to be a totally spontaneous WISH-choice for self-gratification when there are no other demands or pre-commitments. And my choice told on me. ARTIST. :-) I could revel in art, though I'd have to return to other things. I'm not exactly a split personality - but I am almost equally right and left brained. So I have to tend to both.
Clever test!! Thanks, DRBJ. That's why YOU are the DR.!!
I'm glad your annoyance, christopheranton, at your choice was only temporary. Realizing its accuracy subsequently is the sign of a well balanced personality.
This was so much fun!! Hehee!!!!
This was fun!!! The great thing is, nobody can flunk this test.
Okay, hon-I'm on my way to the country to see my favorite therapist. I do need fixin', and he's the best:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYLMTvxOaeE
I guess then, I'll go home...
Yes, CM, not making a choice does explain a lot - but I won't hold it against you. Promise.
What type of person are you? Give me a little more info like will you be walking along the beach and sunbathing alone? And what type of book will you be reading? Then I'll take a guess.
I was honest..Didn't think about it..I chose go dancing and i hope your analysis is correct...but of course i know it is...You being a Dr. Yea! I'm a fun loving Gal..I like that...This was fun...Seeing Elvis made my heart sing, 'Love me Tender' I wanted to say that i chose making the world a better place...but you said to be honest...
Cheers
A truly fun and interesting hub. I liked all the quotes from the celebs and the prayers! Even though mine didn't fit, I can see how others would!
This was fun!
I couldn't find writing and reading books on there, so I settled for dancing and going to a party. Of course, it would have to be a subdued party of my friends who aren't very party-like- so that didn't really work either.
I would have picked contemplating how to make the world a better place, but I would be done after an hour, and it said I had ALL DAY!! I would hate to find myself staring at a blank wall for the other 23 hours.
Charades seemed like fun, but it would really depend on who wanted to play with me.. and would we be playing the whole time, or could we take an hour to contemplate how to make the world a better place?
I think this means I'm a psychotic person who can't make up their mind..... or I'm... no, it's the psychotic thing.
My poor child....
SueRoy, you think I'm the one that's certifiable? Whoa! Your poor child.
I am going to the country soon to our weekender, but i'd say i fitted well with most of the traits described. I don't mind you psychoanalyzing my soul as long as you don't empty my bank account with the info. Cheers.
That was fun and the traits were fairly close but the prayer was perfect. Thanks.
HI, I almost chose "talk to a friend" , then saw "Head out for the country", Nice to know I'm more adventurous than I thought!!
This was SO cool! And, frighteningly accurate! :) Great job. Voted up, of course.
Yes, psychicdog, not agonizing over your choice means that your choice may be more accurate. Thanks for following the instruction. Delighted that you are flattered.
You asked about which country to rule? Would you be interested in applying for the role in the U.S.? I would be happy to supply an appropriate crown - like the one that the Statue of Liberty wears. Whatcha think?
Thanks for stopping by, Radioguy. So the test was good fun and pretty accurate, too? I knew that! :)
Hi, Hummingbird, delighted that the test was really accurate for you. Thanks for the kind comment and the visit.
Of the entire avian species, hummingbirds are my favorites. True!
It's always my pleasure to be visited by a Prince of the frog genus. You are on the mark that we all are at least two personalities. In fact, some of us play even more roles depending on circumstances.
Thank you so much for the well done, up, useful and awesome. You are my kind of commenter, FP.
Hi, bp. Delighted you found this test fun and somewhat accurate. As for multiple personality, aren't we all ... at times! I'm fond of every one of yours.
Thank you, sembj, for the sublime comments. Happy that my hard work paid off in a clever and entertaining hub. As for 'deviously accurate,' funny but that's what most of my friends call me, too.
Delighted that your choice yielded uncanny results. Can you see me taking a bow?
What a great hub. Though I couldn't make a definate choice I did find that the ones I contimplated actually fit my personality well. Voted up and useful.
I couldn't decide between the conversation with a friend or heading out to the country. Then I realized I wouldn't want to head out to the country unless my husband went with me (and he chose that one), so I went with the conversation with a friend, since he's my best friend. Turns out it was spot-on - for both of us. He's the Artisan, and I'm the Idealist! :-)
Maybe if my home wasn't always in an uproar my answer would be different, but for now I choose "Have a conversation with a friend" it was a toss up between that and "Quietly speculate on practical ideas". Since I rarely get to have a good conversation that improves my self worth ("Mom, why didn't you do.." does not promote self worth!), I would now choose that. I have limited my close friends, and of those I have chosen are only uplifting people (as I am). But I do so want a little quiet in my life as well!
What I did choose fit me to a T... If you only knew how many projects I have laying around that I haven't fini....
Thumbs up and shared!!
Sorry it was an 'oops' for you, bluestar. But thanks for the positive comment. When you made your choice, did you choose the one you really would like to do, or the one you thought you OUGHT to really like to do? Just wonderin'.
Hi, RH, 'amazing' is my middle name; 'deviously accurate' is my other middle name. Thanks for loving my tests. I love your loving them. :)
Hi, Jaye, Thank you for being intrigued by this hub. Many folks, including myself, are a composite of choices but there is usually one set of preferences that is our favorite. And that one tends not to change over time.
I'm not surprised, RH, at your choice. Were you surprised that you, among other things, are the most poetic of all 16 types?
Since you asked, I can be either the Journalist or the Leader/Instructor - whichever the situation demands. Also known as a mild case of multiple personality disorder - but keep that to yourself. :)
Drbj - I was surprised! I used to try to write poetry a lot when I was younger. I should try again:) thank you for reminding me of that! You amazing deviously accurate MPD persons! Lol!
Not to be a pest, drbj, but did you like the link? ;)
lorlie6 - you better stop being a pest or I'll bury you alive in a box! ROFLPP (rolling on the floor laughing peeing pants)
HAHAHA-thanks, Austinstar!
Austin, you better check on that incontinence issue! LOL And lorlie, pester all you want. :P
I agree with you, Tina, this test IS different. Mainly because it is so short, so simple, and in most cases, so accurate.
Sometimes it is difficult to make a choice but your two choices contain a number of similarities and are much like two sides of the same coin.
So rather than having two distinctly different personalities, you possess an expanded personality with multiple preferences causing you to be an even more interesting individual. But you already know that.
Thanks for enjoying the read and your fascinating comments. And the up!
So you landed on my profile page, Nellieanna, and misread my did/do remark? You naughty girl! If I were a psychoanalyst I might tell you that your action was not a mistake but a conscious decision. Hoo, hah!
But since I am a behaviorist instead, forget all of the above (if you can). :)
So ... 'this was so much fun,' Simone? I know that you are NOT a woman of only a few words since I have enjoyed reading a number of your literate and thoughtful hubs, so tell me, was it accurate for you?
Welcome back, my Princess of Poesy, dear Nellieanna. I am not surprised at your choice of ARTIST. You are an undisputed artist of prose, poetry and art.
I am moved to call your work "... a dish fit for the Gods." - Brutus in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar.' Then again, maybe not since Brutus was describing the most humane way to assassinate Caesar rather than simply carving him up.
Regardless, I always appreciate your exceptional work as well as your sublime comments. So if I am the DR then you are definitely the PRINCESS!
Hi, Paradise, you are spot on. No one can flunk this test. They could be committed, perhaps, but not for flunking. (I love that word - it's so descriptive sounding.)
Thanks for finding this fun.
Okay, Laurel, if you are "heading out for the country," drive carefully and obey the speed limits. I know how you like to test yourself.
Your favorite therapist, Bob Newhart, is one of my favorite comedians. Thanks for including the link - somehow I had missed that particular TV segment.
I do appreciate your honesty, Ruby. Yup, I knew you were a fun-loving gal from the get-go and fun to be with just like your choice of "go dancing."
And since you are also warm, optimistic and gregarious I can understand your interest in making the world better. Which you do, m'dear, with your lovely poetry.
That Elvis was special, too, I would interview him but he's always out dancing somewhere. :)
Hi, Fossillady - happy you found this fun and interesting as well as the celebrity quotes and prayers.
If your choice didn't fit the way you see yourself, would you say that it might be more accurate for the way others see you. Just wonderin'.
Yes, you do have a problem, sueroy. You are an - dare I say it? - analyst. From your comments I would suggest you take a look at the preference called Author: teaching, writing, vivid imagination, and also genuinely enjoys helping others as in making the world a better place.
Delighted that you found this fun - you could always take some time to play charades or go dancing in the evenings. Whatcha think?
And put your mind at ease about the psychotic thing. True psychotics seldom believe they have a problem. It's the other guy/gal who is (clinical word here) - loony.
Hi, Lela - I'm mystified. Why did you think that sueroy thinks you are certifiable? I don't. Yet!
Maybe because I am?
Hi, Keith - enjoy your weekender in the country. Happy to have you visit and recognize traits that are described in your choice.
I would never attempt to psychoanalyze a person's soul since I've learned that what Hamlet said in "Hamlet" is true: "Nothing, either good or bad but thinking makes it so." Would you agree? Cheers, backatcha.
Ah, welcome sweet Pamela. Delighted that you found this fun and that the traits were fairly close. Even happier that you found the prayer was perfect. I had fun with those, too. Thanks for stopping by.
Delighted to learn that you are more adventurous than you thought but be careful about racing your car, Rose.
And I'm a little concerned about the attraction weapons may hold for you. As long as they are nothing more than steak knives - and not too sharp.
Hi, Motown, so nice to meet you. Delighted that you found this test cool and also frighteningly accurate - I do my best! Thanks for the up, too.
We have a lot in common. I was born in Chi but moved to Florida when I got married. Still visit occasionally to reignite old favorite memories.
Nice to meet you, mikicagle - so happy you found this hub great, useful and voted up. Thank you.
Contemplating choices is good especially if they fit you. Sometimes studying them further helps to make a definite choice. Promise.
Pleasure to meet you, workingmomwm. Does the 'wm' in your avatar stand for 'with money'? Just wonderin'.
How pleasant to learn that your husband is your best friend. And I can understand why. Your personality preferences are most compatible.
Thanks for finding this test spot on. You might like to take a shot - each of you - at "The Pig Personality Test." See link above.
Funny, drbj - I met my husband while I was living in Jacksonville, FL...lol - I spent a year there. :) I'm a midwest girl at heart, though, so we moved here. Detroit wasn't exactly the best place in the world to start anew at the time. :)
And, it's a pleasure to meet you as well.
So glad you were able to find a fulfilling choice, susie. The Idealist/Searcher preference seems to fit you well - creative writing is one of its dominant characteristics and you are an excellent, creative writer, m'dear.
Procrastination does sometimes rear its head with this choice but only because you are always searching for the best answers, the best possibilities.
Thank you for the up and the sharing - you are much appreciated.
It was most definitely my sincere pleasure to remind you, RH, of your potential as a poet.
Yes, we MPD folks have so many options when we awake in the morning. Today shall we be amazingly accurate or deviously deceptive. One never knows. Wait, make that two never know.
You could never be a pest, laurel. Simply think of yourself as an inquiring mind. And yes, I loved the link.
Bob was one of my all-time favorites. I also enjoyed Suzanne Pleshette who played the role of his wife on some of his episodes.
@Lela - don't get your knickers in a bunch (I learned that from my British Hubbuddies).
Thanks for the explanation. I understand ROFL but the PP is a new one.
@Laurel - Lela says, "You're welcome." I read minds, too.
Now wait a minute, Motown, keep encouraging Lela and Laurel and there's no telling the consequences.
@Lela - Depends, I am told, you can depend on.
@Laurel - Speaking of being a pest, here's my favorite take on the subject: "A friend in need is a pest indeed." I have spoken.
drbj - I can't help it, Austin has begun to corrupt me...lol
:)
Are you referring, Lela, to your certificate in hematology, photography, creative writing, exceptional grand-mothering, or all of the above?
The world is full of coincidences, Motown. Some would call it Fate. Be careful now here on Hubpages - we writers are an eclectic lot.
drbj, I'm not a grandmother, hope you don't have me confused with someone else. Otherwise, all of the above applies.
Did I corrupt you Mo? I thought it was the other way around!
P.S. I generally go commando - no knickers please!
Shhhh....Austin, it's supposed to look like I'm the innocent one! :P
Ha! No, unfortunately "with money" is not a term I would use to describe myself! Actually, I don't really know what the "wm" stands for. It keeps changing ... Right now I think it's just the repetition of the initials from "working mom," but we'll see how it evolves.
Hmm ... Pig Personality Test. That does sound interesting!
wmwm - Do take the test and let me know what you think. It's even more simple than this one.
I still can't make up my mind whether to 'imagine how the World could be improved', or 'organise a party', so maybe I'll just sit and read a book about the Art o Decision Making. But I'm not sure about that, and I can't decide why - so maybe I won't do that either...
Did you say one question?
Perhaps, amillar, you could organize a get-together (party) and ask your guests to offer suggestions on how the world could be improved. There is nothing wrong with selecting two choices. I have. (Journalist and Leader/Instructor).
Holy Cow - this is pretty darn close. Both James Dean and Katherine Hepburn are two of my favorite actors. But, oh oh oh, how I wanted to be in the same classification as Johnny Depp. Urrrrgh. And my personality is an exact duplicate for Organizing a Class Re-union. And yet, I really dislike organizing anything. :)vocalcoach
I'm surprised at how accurate this was. I was somewhat disappointed I wasn't in the company of any exciting movie stars, but how can I possibly complain about George Washington. Thank you for the excellent hub.
Without hesitation I chose , Quietly speculate about practical ideas. Yup that's me... Very cool hub!
Hi, Audrey - delighted this was 'pretty darn close.' And you are certainly in good company with Jimmy and Hepburn.
From the little I have learned about you through your writing and comments, I would say you are also 'pretty darn close' to Depp and Sawyer. Pretty good backup, I would say. Thanks for your comments which are always appreciated.
Delighted to meet you, Tankadin, and to know how accurate this test was for you. As you pointed out, it's not too shabby to be in the company of Washington and the Queen.
If you act quickly maybe it's not too late to wangle an invite for the upcoming royal wedding.
Thank you for the 'excellent hub' comment - the pleasure is all mine.
We already have a lot in common, Mrs. J.B. - same initials! So happy to meet you and learn you had no difficulty choosing your preference. Thanks for the 'very cool hub.' You seem pretty cool yourself.
You always have the most interesting Hubs of all. This is truly fascinating. I chose "Discuss the way things work in the world." THE INVENTOR. Frequent Career Choices: Leadership ... Business ... Government ... Entrepreneur ... Journalism ... Consulting.
I suppose this is true since I have held positions in all six of those—except government. :D
Thank you for the journey. I can dig it!
Thank you for digging it, James, and thank you immensely for the compliment - 'most interesting hubs of all.'
I am not surprised that you are the 'Inventor' and that you have been involved in almost all the career choices mentioned for that preference. You are a renaissance man, my friend.
You and your comments are much appreciated, nay, cherished.
Spot on drbj!!! An interesting hub by an equally interesting man.....
I don't like any of the choices. First, suspecting that might be the case, I figured out what I'd REALLY like to do with a total "Free Day". Then since none of the 16 choices fit, I read a couple that PARTIALLY fit--and yes, the descriptions partifally fit me as well.
Okay, now to go check out Genghis Khan.
Note: Mrs. J.B. recommended I actually read some of your stuff. Shame on her; I'm already about half hooked!
Voted Up and Across.
COOL- Not only was that fun, but it was educational too.
Drbj, this was very interesting! And too close for comfort hahaha. (Just kidding. I'm totally cool with who I am. It's those other people who have issues hehehe) I seem to fit the Artisan. Heading out is definitely what I would do, camera in hand. And the rest of it is also true. Heck, I even move my furniture around on dismal days just to affect change! This was fun :)
How nice to meet you, Ashantina. What a lovely name. Thank you for the 'spot on' and the 'interesting.'
Thanks for the visits, Ghost 32. We're practically best friends already. I'll have to thank Mrs. J..B. for the recommendation.
I always say a partial description-fit is better than no fit at all. And thanks for the up AND the across.
Hi, TCM Specialist.
'COOL, fun, and educational,' too. What more could I ask. Thanks for stopping by; it's nice to meet you.
Delighted you found this interesting and fun, Alexandra, even if it was too close for comfort. That's good.
I already know you're a totally cool person, and isn't it awful how many others have issues???
I'm not surprised at your choice of preference but moving furniture around? Well, change is good. In fact, the only thing certain in life is change! ....... Except from a vending machine!
Sorry, I couldn't resist the opportunity.
At the risk of perplexing future archeologists even more... ROFLMAO!
Drbj, I had trouble making the choice of *what to do tomorrow*...which is revealing in itself, lol. I just couldn't make that snap decision and had to choose TWO options...so I'm a cross between inventor and journalist.
Obviously I cheat at personality tests!
Jane - Choosing two preferences is not cheating - it's simply superior thinking. I say that because I am two, too. (Leader/Instructor and Journalist). Thanks for visiting - it's always my pleasure to have you drop by.
I enjoyed this hub, thanks
Thank you, Susie, for enjoying this hub. No thanks necessary, my pleasure entirely.
Did you find your choice accurate? just wonderin'.
I don't know how accurate this test is drbj; at least it proved to be way off the mark for me! I'm no Schwartzenegger :) Fun to play anyway. Cheers. Wonder why there isn't a choice for writing?
...actually it took me so dang long to scroll down to the bottom of this screen that I went through several mutiple personalities myself - and of course if anyone here at the Hub has multiple personalities - lol - then it's the epi-man - lol - but you always have multiple world famous hubs - and for good reason!
You'd need to be an ophthalmologist to fully diagnose my malady. I can barely see. ;-> See? hehe. As to forgetting, - now, that is right up my alley. Maybe you're a geriatrician? tee hee. . . .
Hi, Hilary. Glad you had fun even if you aren't another Ahnold. Actually, there are four preferences that feature creative writing; Author, Journalist, Inventor and Architect. Had you chosen any one of those?
Now that was funny, Colin. I visualized you morphing into several personalities while scrolling. But every one of them, my merry man, was amusing and creative.
And your comment - my having 'multiple world famous hubs' - means even more to me coming from the great Epigramman. Thank you.
Mebbe, Nellieanna, but I can't remember what that word means! heh, heh.
Thank you for giving me an opening for my favorite forgetful joke:
Three senior ladies are talking. One says, "You know, I'm getting really forgetful. This morning, I was standing at the top of the stairs, and I couldn't remember whether I had just come up or was about to go down."
The second one says, "You think that's bad? The other day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed, and I couldn't remember whether I was going to sleep or had just awakened."
The third one smiles smugly. "Well, my memory is just as good as it's always been, knock on wood," she says as she raps on the table.
Then with a startled look on her face, she calls out, "Who's there?"
This is amazing! Great Hub
Thank you, Justsilvie. Delighted you found this amazing. Was it good for you?
I was a head out to the country guy. But I don't mind being lumped in with James Dean.
You know, tony, I kinda guessed that, too. And I don't think Jimmy minds a bit being 'lumped in' with you. In fact, I think he's proud of the association.
It was pretty much on target, I am still amazed!
Loved it! I have taken several personality tests over the years and never did this one til just now. It fit me perfectly, thanks!
You're still amazed, Justsilvie? Me, too!
Hi, Lene Lynn. Loving that you loved it and that it fit you perfectly. No thanks necessary. Entirely my pleasure. Did you take the Pig Personality Test or the Celebrity Personality Test yet?
hahahaha! Good joke, DRBJ!
Happy to have provided you with a laugh, Nellieanna. Four to be exact!
Simply scrolling down the list, I choose Art to start off with not even finishing the list yet. Mainly because if I had no obligations and no interuptions, I would sit down and write all day long. But, after glancing and making a decision without thinking much... going with my gut... my actual decision (after looking at them all) was to leave the country. Mainly because if nothing was in my way - I would love to travel. My lifestyle makes that nearly impossible to get out of the country. It is my adventurous side coming out. Even though I don't like to be overly dangerous. I work myself up way too much! Great hub! Interesting comparison on how things can tell your personality!
You would write 'all day long,'barbergirl? Then you are certainly in the right place on Hubpages. Nice to meet you.
Thanks for the visit and the 'great hub.' I have always been fond of this one-question test because it is so often right on the money.
You may be the Artisan and the Artist - they are similar in many ways.
Actually, I change my mind... I just gave my husband the test and as I read through all the answers, I realized that I would rather play charades. The reason I probably overlooked it the first time is because I have never played charades... but I do like board games and family game nights. My husband was the Artisan - and that described him to a T - wasn't as much a good description of me. However, when I realized my simple mistake of overlooking things.... Charades fits me perfectly... lol
Overall, great hub... even if I have to weigh everything over and over and over again. LOL Wait - isn't that like the Journalist!
Being inquisitive and always looking for possibilities does describe a good writer, barbergirl28. Try the "Take the Pig Personality Test." :)
I will definately have to check that one out!
Hi, drbj - haha, I read some of the comments and had to laugh when I read CMHypno's - just what I was going to say. So, if I can't go to the beach, I'd be in an art class. And it does kind of fit. Maybe I'll be a preacher in my next incarnation.
Hi, Dolores, nice to see you here, m'dear. So the beach or the art class fit you, too? That's cool. A preacher next? Why did you choose that profession? Just wonderin'.
This is a well written hub – interesting analysis. This is a nice and fun way to analyze a personality. I think you need to continue writing a book and not just an article. Thumbs up!
Thank you, Tina, for stopping by - especially with such gracious comments. Delighted you found this a nice and fun way to analyze personality. Was it accurate for you?
Funny you mentioned writing a book and not just an article; I have considered that but writing hubs is much more fun. You can get almost immediate feedback.
This is a funny and interesting hub. I choosed go dancing for I love to dance and then I found out that I have 2 personalities. I usually want to be alone. Dancing without company is not fun. Almost accurate test for me. Voted Up!
Hi, Thelma, don't be surprised hat you may have two personalities. We usually have one that is dominant and as many as 3 others that rise to the occasion.
Delighted by your visit and the almost accuracy of the test and of course, the up. Thank you!
You might also like to visit my latest personality test: "Simple Symbol Personality Test" and let me know what you think.
This is so much fun. I chose participate in an Art class. Fits me to a T with the description... I loved this hub!
You love this hub, Mrs. JB? Then, of course, I love you. Delighted your choice of activity fit your personality to a T. The fun is on me. :)
I'm sending this to my husband to see if it will help us with perspective. :)
Since 'Work on an unfinished project' wasn't on the list I chose 'Have a conversation with a friend'. Imagine my surprise when I read the prayer! As always, thank you for the fun and wisdom.
What a delight to see you here, Ivorwen, thanks for stopping by. It's always surprising, isn't it, when we discover something we had not anticipated?
Thank you for the gracious comments.
P.S. Good luck on the unfinished project.
I love this personality test. I learn much from all the famous people. I know the can be like that because they have good personality. Especially for public figure, right! You got my vote and I make it double with my thumbs up!
Your best friend, Prasetio
You are a sweetheart, pras. I always look forward to your visits. You are correct, public figures, famous people, need a good personality. But they don't always have high morals unfortunately. Like you and me.
A double vote with your thumbs up? I am privileged. Who could ask for anything more?
i liked it. in fact i am loving your writings
You are loving my writing, sunitibahl? Well, then, I am loving you! Thanks for stopping by.
I've taken the Meyers Briggs a few times now and I always come up as the searcher/idealist.... crazy that choosing just ONE thing to do would give me the same result as the really, really long test they have!
Hi, Nikki, I, too have been involved giving the Myers-Briggs tests for much of my career. But I finally came up with a method that provides essentially the same result based on the answer to one question. Saves a lot of time! :) Thanks for the visit.
Why a preacher? Cause that's what the test indicated. A sort of preacher who paints and works in the fields. Sounds so 19th century....
Sounds 19th century? Ah, now I understand, Dolores, now that I think of those elegant, classy 19th century hubs you have written about women's fashions and shoes back in the old fashioned day. Thank you for the explanation.
No, these are the suggestions of this hub. Not the 19th century part, that comes from watching too much Lark Rise to Candleford.
That British TV series sounds tres interesting, Dolores, I'll have to find some clips to watch. I'll tell them you sent me.
Very neat hub! I was between the options "have a conversation with a friend" Idealist/Searcher and "go dancing or go to a party" Entertainer/Performer. Both of these choices had characteristics that resembled my personality. I enjoyed this one!
Thanks for enjoying this 'test,' Pamela. You are right on the mark. Both of your choices do have similarities. Think about it. You could "go to a party" and "have a conversation with a friend." Works for me! :)
Hi again( drbj)you have so much neat STUFF on your site.I chose the DANCE.The choices could be situational.Example--Had to opt for the trip out of town because while looking at houses my dog made a mess" and the house belonged to the terminator.Thanks again for the listen,ED.
As always, Ed, I am happy to hear from you. Yes, you are correct. The choices could be situational so I could easily understand if you took a "tour of houses." Without the dog, that is. And thanks for the 'neat stuff' comment - I shall treasure it. Promise.
Hi again(drbj)Thanks again for another very nice come back.Im really having a good time on your site.In fact I,find it to be extreamly entertaining and (BONUS) THERIPUDIC.Well thanks again and stay happy.ED
Did I mention, Ed, the slight charge for therapeutic aid? Not to worry. I accept all charge cards, money orders, checks, cheques, and loose change.
(drbj)Allways Good to hear from you. I'll gladly pay you tuesday for a hamberger today.As for loose change===In school many teachers used that term to address questions about my I.Q. Well thanks again for the jingle.STAY HAPPY.ED.
play charades-it was so accurate and weird that you can figure someone by one question!
Dr BJ,
I was TORN between a conversation with a friend and heading to the country. So, I surmised I could be persuasive enough to have both and take the friend to the country and have a conversation while we found something exciting to get into. (Grin!)
Worked for me!
I've decided in personality tests, the shorter the better, and in the short of it, HOPEFULLY they'll have accomodating choices. They make soooo much more sense than the ones that request to select the one that comes closest to fitting the test taker, and then don't offer anything that remotely FITS the test taker.
Those drive me bats. This one made me grin.
Since I'm a Gemini, I think it's my birth right that should allow me to have taken two and blended them into one. Hope that doesn't reflect that I'm greedy, because I'm usually willing to share. :)
femme
Not to worry about your IQ, Ed. You are head and shoulders above the rest. And what did those teachers know. They were just jealous. Right? You stay happy, too, my friend.
Hi, rdhkir. Nice to meet you. Delighted it was so accurate when you answered the one question. It does seem weird, I know, but this survey was crafted from the much more extensive Myers-Briggs instrument which I value. Thanks for visiting.
Hi, Angelia. I apologize for taking so long to respond to your interesting comments, but somehow I was not notified until this week when HP changed its system of notifications. Mea culpa, m'dear.
It was clever of you to adopt both choices and it makes complete sense because they are not mutually exclusive activities. You can do both successfully at the same time.
I am a fan of short personality tests, too, and this one is one of my favorites. Also, the 'Simple Symbol Personality Test' is fun.
Delighted that I made you grin with this and since you are a Gemini, you do indeed have special dispensation to blend the two choices. I have spoken!
No_Clue Level 2 Commenter 13 months ago
Very interesting hub! And pretty on the mark for me personally! Thank you!
