Jung Typology Test
Results: ISTJ
moderately expressed introvert
slightly expressed sensing personality
moderately expressed thinking personality
slightly expressed judging personality
This test asked a lot of questions based on social concepts and thinking patterns. For this reason, I believe that validity of this test is pretty good - I do think i'm introverted, after all.
Personality Lab - CCQ (Understand Your Personality)
Results
Extraversion: 33
Agreeableness: 73
Conscientiousness: 75
Neuroticism: 62
Openness to New Experience: 57
I think that this test is pretty comprehensive, as it asks a lot of personal and self-evaluation questions and asks you to rank them on a scale of 1 to 9, rather than just "yes or no". It also gives a great description of each of the"Big Five" trait domains., which makes me believe in the validity of the test.
Personality Lab - Life Goals
Results:
Financial Success: Higher than average
Social Recognition: Slightly lower than average
Attractiveness: Lower than average
Affiliation: Average
Community Involvement: Average
Self Acceptance: Less than average
Valuing of Goals: Intrinsic over Extrinsic (Average)
This test seems to cover really broad and general universal concepts, such as love and money. Because of this, I think that this test covers a difficult subject, but still does a decent job in providing the test taker with a breakdown of results. I also think that the test is pretty valid.
Personality Lab - Sim Personality
Neatness (v. Sloppy): 5/10
Outgoing (v. Shy): 2/10
Active (v. Lazy): 2/10
Playful (v. Seriousness): 3/10
Nice (v. Grouchy): 6/10
This test was pretty easy to take. It asked personal questions and scored you based on the different types of Sim personality traits. For the most part, I agree with most of the results; I'm more quiet and reserved, and I am pretty lazy. However, I don't want to think of myself as serious all the time; after all, I spend a good part of my time playing games. Overall, I think this test is pretty valid.
Planet Personality - Followership Test
Proactive Followership: 14/25
Passive Followership: 17/25
Self Efficacy: 30 (Average is 30.34)
Capacity for Power: 26 (Average is 23.73)
This test determines your own 'follower' style. Proactive followership expresses the desire to lead up and occasionally challenge leadership, while passive followership expresses the desire to cooperate and go with the flow. This test was much different than the others, as it targeted a specific area. I generally agree with these results, and I think this test is pretty valid.

A Letter to Mom
Odd numbered computer / Pencil between teeth
Average rating: 4.3
Dear Mom,
College life here at Stanford is for the most part enjoyable, but with my disorder I tend to find discomfort in every little thing that bothers me. It is definitely different than my home life, where things are always comfortable and perfect. Here, I have to share a room with my roommate Dan, who is a COMPLETE and TOTAL slob. He never picks up after himself, he leaves smudges everywhere... he's just a total mess. I even have to make his bed for him every morning, because that awful, dirty sight is just too much to handle!
The schoolwork here is also very tiring. My standards of work and productivity are sometimes too high for the required assignments; a lot of times i don't turn in a project because I just don't feel that it's good enough. I honestly don't see how others in my class can finish their work and still find time for leisure and goofing-off. And since I'm usually at my dorm doing my work, I haven't really had the time to make friends. I'm pretty stressed out.
Group projects are also bothersome. I'm always disagreeing with everyone else, as the project *has* to turn out the way that I want it too. Their opinions just don't reach up to my standards and expectations, and most of the time the project remains unfinished because of all the arguing that goes on. It's a shame, really.
However, for the most part college life is alright. I'm learning a lot about myself and the curriculum, and it's a really interesting and fulfilling experience. I'll be coming home during the winter break, so I'll be seeing you soon. Until then, take care!
Your son,
Keith Magdoza
