I hate Dr. Phil so why post his test?

I haven’t the slightest idea. I’m not myself lately, so here it is.

I scored a 44, but I’m not sure what that means from the write-ups at the end. I made preference choices that create a numerical value that indicates how ‘others’ see me? I don’t get it, but it’s a diversion from real thinking, which is where I’m at right now…


Here 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!

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 u p 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.

  1. C+/B-

Fits me to a t, basically.

They left out “aloof” in the description, though.

43…Interesting

46

If Dr Phil says so, it must be true!

37; freakishly accurate.

38…sounds about right I guess.

I wasn’t sure how to answer some of these…like when I’m talking to folks I run hand through hair, cross my arms AND put them on my hips. I’m confused…

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.

I hate Phil too. But I scored a 44 and that’s highly accurate. Though, I am more adventuresome than that one gets credit for, I think.

I got a 44 and I think thats pretty accurate. I do love to amuse people and be amused!
