Just want to share this to you guys. I think the test is really accurate.

Below is Dr. Phil's test. [Dr. Phil scored 55; he did this test on
Oprah - she got a 38] Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff
out!
Read on, this is very interesting!
Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it
only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your
friends.
The person who sent it placed their score in the e-mail subject box.
Please do the same before forwarding to your friends [send it back to
the person who sent it to you.] Don't peek, but begin the test as you
scroll down and answer.
Answers are for who you are now --- not who you were in the past. Have
pen or pencil and paper ready.
This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the
major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning
their employees and prospective employees It's only 10 Simple
questions, so grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter
answers to each question.
Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When

10. [a] 4 [b] 2 [c] 3 [d] 5 [e] 6 [f] 1
Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with
care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely
dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you,
but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved
with you.
51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile,
rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make
decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and
adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes
chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company
because of the excitement you radiate.
41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,
practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the
center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go
to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and
understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.
31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful &
practical They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. 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.
21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They
see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady
plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something
impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine
everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against
it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.
UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,
someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make
the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that
don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you
well know that you aren't.

There are a lot of people in this world that can think of brilliant things such as these. I hope we continue to strive to improve ourselves and understand the way we evaluate someone just like this test.

I got 36 as well, but some of the questions I could have chosen more than one answer, colors and how you sit with your legs.

Guys. I got this from a website. Any comments?

No, Dr. Phil did not share this test on the Oprah Winfrey Show. And disavow yourself of the notion that any major corporation is using this "test" to screen potential employees. Any company that did so would be opening themselves up to lawsuits.
Valid personality tests are based on thorough research. This test relies on common interpretations about what type of personalities engage in certain types of behavior or hold their body a certain way. No research is indicated. Even if there was research to support it, valid tests are also closely guarded to preserve their integrity. The very fact that this test and its scoring mechanism have been revealed on the Internet [and presumably on television] would invalidate it.
What we have here is a fun questionnaire that may or may not accurately describe your personality. It is likely no more accurate than your average horoscope or astrological assessment. Would you find it less fun or interesting if it didn't come from Dr. Phil? If so, you have the type of personality that would Break this Chain!
