A Submissive Test?

I think most of us enjoy these various internet tests that give us a chance to evaluate or validate or gain some kind of insight into our personalities. I have featured a couple on this blog:

Myer-Briggs Personality Sorter

Inclination to BDSM

What Kind of Weather Am I

I recently came across "The Submissive Test", which appears to have been made up by someone over on OKCupid. Thank turiya over at Spirited Meanderings for bringing this to light, have some fun with it. I don't know how scientific or accurate or fair it is, but these kinds of things are always fun to take and show to our friends and say things like, "See, I told you." or "Wow, that really surprises me." So, to give credit where due, if you want to take the test, and why wouldn't you? Here is the link, go take the test, you know you want to:

Submissive Test

I took the test, on the premise that even as a dominant, if I answer the questions honestly and indicate my likes and dislikes, perhaps it will provide some kind of insight into what it is about submissives that excite me. I found some of the questions difficult to answer for a couple reasons, one perhaps being that I am not a submissive and so the mindset for the answer is not clear within me, but also I found some of the questions did not offer a good clear choice, and so I selected the closest answer, or the least un-favorite answer. I guess this is likely true for many of these kinds of multiple choice quizzes.

At any rate, it was kind of fun, I don't put a lot of stock in the answers, but I agree that it offers a fair insight.

Oh, yea, yes, of course, sure I did, she is most likely:

Take me to the Quiz

(Note from the quiz author: This quiz doesn't cover all aspects of BDSM due to the length that such a comprehensive quiz would be. It is sex-based because the psychological reasons behind fetishes are complex and different for everyone to some degree.)

Getting to Know Yourself

A couple of bloggers I have read recently, have identified/labeled themselves in the context of the Myer-Briggs or Keirsey Temperaments. It reminded me that I had taken this temperament sorter several years ago and refreshed it fairly recently.

This is particularly interesting for those of us, like me, who love to analyze and think things through. Or, for anyone interesting in knowing more about why people do what they do, and react the way they react. It is particularly good to identifying feeling types, or thinkers, giving insight into how people perceived and react to experiences.

The Keirsey Temperament Sorter is the most widely used personality instrument in the world. This information has helped many people have a better understanding of each other.

As it turns out, I scored out as a Mastermind (a Rational), an iNTj.

Have some fun, learn a little, take the Keirsey Temperament Sorter Enjoy!
