 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Nah, just an unfortunate one way door.

When you look at the diverse range of personalities presented here it makes it easy to see why it is hard to get people to agree with each other and why misunderstandings are so frequent.
I have always believed that understanding one another's personalities is the key to better communication.

I don't disagree.  My issue is that personalities are far too complex to be sussed out in an online quiz.

I have noticed the "agreeableness" is quite low with everyone here. I think Losty is the only person I saw with a very high score like myself, in the 90's.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yeah, this was not a good quiz.

None of them are.  Personality profiles are inherently flawed because people have an innate tendency to want to make themselves look good.  Not to say that respondents  are actively lying on the questions, but the subconscious temptation to answer in a way that reflects them well isn't easy to overcome.

This isn't a criticism of the AFers (or anyone else) who took this quiz, btw. In fact, it is probably healthy to want to come off as agreeable, open, etc.  It is a criticism of quizzes.

Sure.  I just meant the questions on this one seemed particularly shitty, and honest or not, I wouldn't put much stock in any results.
