i scored a 44.
dr. phil cheated!
oprah made a poor store employee stay open late to get her answers...
 
I scored 41, but I didn't like the last question as none of the answers really worked for me.
 
Though I scored 50 like Dr. McGraw, I seem to have a bit of split personality, on a few questions I got the lowest possible points...
 
34 ...
and I agree with most of it.

I don't make friends very easily...too shy.
But once I concider you a friend you're a friend for life.
I trust very easily...but if that trust is broken
it takes me forever to trust again.
 
I got 39.

Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

Pegged you perfectly, Maidrite:)
 
It would be fun to take just the answers and have friends and family choose which would be most nearly like me. I don't know if that could be done or not. My dd, gd and I all got the same number (46) and we weren't even together to take the test. I can't figure that one. I suppose dh must think I am somewhat charming - he gave me a pair of diamond earrings for our anniversary last night. The date isn't until the 17th, but I was quite pleased he gave it to me early. It wasn't something I asked for, I probably would have asked for a new food processor!!!

Wow, that's great, licia!
I would love to get something witout asking, especially jewelry!
 
Dr. Phil BUGS me! Personally, I don't think he has a personality - unless you count abrasive know-nothing. Well, that's my two cents, for whatever it's worth :LOL:

I've seen the test on the web, but some of the choices/options don't fit an answer I would choose.

P.S. Another shot at the "doc" - I don't know of any HR department that ever gave that test - nor do I think it reflects one's job history/performance/experience. Sorry, to me he's the Jerry Springer of psychiatry. Dr. Heal thyself!

I know that Homedepot, Lowes and Walmart have a similar test for employment. I thought it was weird myself.
 
Working very closely with many HR departments and hiring managers I can assure you that this test is one of the more "mild" sorts of things our there right now.

It's better than the "casting couch," I guess. :ROFLMAO:

Most of the time these tests, if one is honest with them is close to fact. I have to say this one pretty close for me anyway ! :)
