Another quiz: Difficult Person Test (Hey, it's science-y)

Tinker Grey · Dec 30, 2022

I am an easy person to get along with.

Difficult Person Test, based on research from the University of Georgia.

www.idrlabs.com

I'm just now taking this, so we'll see.

ETA:

I'd say the questions are reasonably written, but it's one of those things that if you have to ask "am I a difficult person", you probably are.

It says I'm a very easy person to get along with (17.14%).

Bradskii · Dec 30, 2022

An easy person to get on with: 34%

My wife might disagree somewhat...

SelfSim · Dec 30, 2022

Hmm .. a fairly callous and aggressive assessment I reckon!

The questions seem to be more attuned to detecting Trump-like type clones!? Now there's a good consipracy theory!

That's evidence of a rigged set of responses!

C'mon, you have to go 100% the other way now.

Oh, whatever!!! It's rigged. I know I'm a lot more suspicious than this...

You are an easy person to get along with (30.71%).

You sure about this?
I assume you are aware of the businessman Jim Penman who launched Jim's Mowing and a variety of other franchises ranging from Jim's dog wash, Jim's fencing repairs to Jim's assisted suicide.

Jim has a PhD in some nonsense called biohistory and I was one of his test subjects as part of his thesis.
Apparently I was a psychopath in the making who would have no problems killing my grandmother (according to Jim).

It can't be right! @Bradskii is an easy person to get along with .. (compared with myself at 13.57%).
What is that percent figure supposed to mean anyway? I gather the smaller the percentage, the easier to get along with?

Reminds me of this for some reason:

The questions are pretty harsh, I thought. Only a psychopath, or @sjastro could "fail" that test (or succeed, depending on how you look at it). Apparently, most folks will range on a scale from "easy" to "very easy" to get along with.

Darn, I though the higher the percentage the easier one was to get on with. Maybe I'm more ornery than I thought.

Maybe, for most people, the benefit is not so much in the overall score as in recognising the relative strength of various traits?

Some things I wonder about, though. Some of the questions I suspect were geared towards measuring aggression, might also relate to things like having strong personal boundaries...

I think it needed to be on a sliding scale. Some questions needed "sometimes" as an option instead of "neutral".

YahuahSaves · Dec 30, 2022

I agree with you @Paidiske I have strong personal boundaries. I don't take bull from anyone. So it says I have plenty of aggression even though I don't like getting angry lol

You are an easy person to get along with (24.29%).
