How rational are you really? Take the test

Just because it describes you as a 'mediator' doesn't mean it doesn't also recognize you as a skeptic, it's just it thinks the mediator description is more relevant I suppose. I didn't mean I should have been a skeptic as opposed to a mediator. The fourth part in the secondary descriptions described me as "open" as opposed to "skeptic," and the description that followed the "open" label was pretty much the opposite of how I really am. Everyone around me thinks I am always trying to prove them wrong.

That might be why it contributed more to the open descriptor than skeptic, because you're more open (less shy) about proving people wrong. Meh, pinch of salt I guess.
Free Spirit:
Most Free Spirits like to seek out new experiences; they prefer to enjoy these experience on an emotional level without poring over or analyzing them. They tend to enjoy the more colorful and artistic parts of everyday life. Approximately 21% of the populace are Free Spirits. You are Intuitive: You tend to trust your intuitions — you size up situations quickly and stick with your judgments once you’ve made them. This tendency can be useful when you need to think on your feet, or when you’re using a skill that you’ve already honed to perfection. You are Subjective: People and stories interest you more than facts and figures do; you focus on the essence of ideas over the details. Your mind is more qualitative than quantitative. This trait lets you focus on the big picture over the nitty-gritty. You are Carefree: You tend to live in the moment. You don’t waste a lot of emotional energy fretting about the future. Instead, you focus on getting the most out of life right now. You are Open: You're not an aggressive skeptic or naysayer. You tend to consider information without immediately disputing it unless given clear reason to do so. Proving people wrong is not a high priority for you. You racked up 42.11% of the highest possible rationality score! You scored better than 10% of past users! Disclaimer: I am only responsible for what I say, not what you choose to understand.
Skeptic
Reflexive Subjective Carefree Skeptic 68.42%
Also, has anyone noticed that all of the descriptors seem to be positive? How can you classify human reasoning without a "Total Dipshit" category?
