Dr. Phil's Test
Here ya go ... try this. 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!

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 and 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 leader. 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 decisions and 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.

BTW I got a 41. Hope you all enjoy.

Evilmav2 · 03-11-2004, 04:10 PM

I got a 52. Quick to make decisions, but not always the right ones? That sounds about right to me...

Drbio · 03-11-2004, 04:24 PM

41....I wonder if I cheated off of LRB?

I've never been called 'well-balanced' before...

44.

I fit the description of 41 to 50 points, but it lacks the negatives. Those of mine are in the 51 to 60 and 31 to 40. Strange.

irontoad · 03-11-2004, 06:52 PM

I'm with X, got a 46.

seelenjaeger · 03-11-2004, 07:10 PM

48 - and well balanced ain´t mine either.

southern_sweets · 03-11-2004, 07:59 PM

I got a 40.

Is it me? Or we all in the same category?

I think a certain sports franchise needs to employ the services of Dr. Phil.

Edited to add I scored a 36

kg_veteran · 03-12-2004, 10:25 AM

42 for me. Odd how nearly everyone so far falls in one category.

MikeB · 03-12-2004, 10:30 AM

I scored 42...but I don't think that fits my personality.
I am not the center of attention...I fit more in the 31-40 group.

D-M Mavericks fans seem to be around 44 for some reason....

...and to be Republicans as well. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

MavsFanFinley · 03-12-2004, 11:26 AM

44 was my score and I can tell you I'm not the center of attention.

Rebublicans because we have a brain.

Murphy3 · 03-12-2004, 02:02 PM

Has Dr. Phil made himself into a business or what?

veruca salt · 03-13-2004, 02:50 PM

50, so that´s me:

"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."

Well I´m perfect [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

DubOverdose · 03-14-2004, 08:39 PM

45 here...I definitely wouldn't say I'm the center of attention... If I'm really comfortable with the people I'm around, then ya I can be, but if I don't know people very well my shy side will show through (I used to be VERY shy, but most people don't think I am at all now).

Caliente · 03-19-2004, 01:04 PM

bump because it is one of the few non political threads left.............

31 TO 40 POINTS:
Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful and 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.

Freaky.....

but the 21 TO 30 POINTS group fits me too
