Personality test: the results

I did one of those tests and this is what it said:

Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately organized, hard working, and reliable while still remaining flexible, efficient, and fun.

Extraversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.


trait snapshot:
expressive, open, self revealing, loves large parties, loud, social, outgoing, does not like social isolation, assertive, social chameleon, positive, always busy, likes to fit in, likes to stand out, enjoys leadership, brutally honest, trusting, optimistic, desires attention, dominant, aggressive, attachment prone, wants to be understood, realistic


Oh, what a paradox I am: I want to be understand (how true) and yet I'm confrontational. The social chameleon bit is plain absurd, however. While I sometimes like chitchatting with random people, I think if anything, I don't alter my personality or approach enough! I'm not loud, but I will express my opinion (even if unasked) . . . brutally honest, perhaps.... optimistic? I doubt many people would say that, though I'm more hopeful privately and perhaps more pragmatic than many would think.

I'm pretty paranoid though, and always assume people make swift and negative judgements about me, and a lot of the time, this turns out to not be the case. Particularly with females. I always find making friends with girls difficult because I convince myself that they dislike me. Is this a late effect of being a Tom Boy as a kid and perpetually following my older brother around?
