Hardest Choices Personality Test To Test What Kind Of Person You Are

the choices we make every day can shape our personality but our personality can also influence the decisions we make so in this video I'm going to ask you to make some hard choices to determine what kind of person you are I'll be measuring you against the five main psychological traits to measure personality these are agreeableness your tendency to cooperate and be compassionate extraversion so how confident and outgoing you are openness your sense of adventure and equality neuroticism how obsessive and emotional you can be and conscientiousness if you're diligent and careful grab a pen and keep a note of how many of each trait you pick and at the end I will reveal what kind of person you are don't be alarmed there are morning people and then there are definitely not morning people but the very first decision you make when you get up can reveal more about you than you think so tell me how do you wake up in the morning before always on your alarm usually hitting the snooze button or don't have an alarm let's dive into this if you wake up before your alarm that is textbook neurotic behavior your obsessive trait extends into your unconscious and that's impressive getting up on your alarm without hitting snooze one shows a conscientious effort to start the day but if you're hitting the snooze you're probably a bit more laid-back about your day to day routine meaning you'd fall into the agreeableness category but you must have incredible levels of confidence to wake up on time without setting an alarm at all that's extraversion for you how do you roll there are some choices you make often without thinking that tell people a lot about you so with that in mind which way round do you hang the toilet roll over under I never replaced the toilet roll according to the toilet paper personality test designed by dr. gilda Karl how you hang your roll is an indicator of how assertive you are hanging it over the exterior supposedly shows dominance linked to being conscientious and neurotic hanging it under shows submissiveness linked to the laid-back nature of those with high agreeableness and if you don't replace the toilet roll that's a confident move link to the unbothered side of extraversion and openness trolly traits here's an age-old moral busting question you're standing next to some train tracks which five people have been tied down to and a train is speeding towards them you are next to a lever which will change the tracks but there's a catch on the other track one person is tied to it so do you hit the lever to change the track or do nothing and lever do nothing [Music] so would you personally kill one person to save many it's a fight between two schools of thought utilitarianism which praises the idea of the greater good like pulling the lever in this example and deontology which says certain actions are wrong despite better outcomes but these thought processes can reveal some personality traits a study from Columbia Business School in 2011 found that utilitarianism is linked to Machiavellian personality and psychopathy on the other hand deontology focuses more on the individual's actions meaning your decision not to interfere shows higher traits of neuroticism and conscientiousness this famous problem has been widely criticized as a test though and don't freak out if you chose to save the five and sacrifice the one because 90% of people surveyed are Psychopaths too let's expand on this problem with a slight variation now this time you're standing on a bridge over the track as the runaway trolley approaches now there's no second track but there is a very large man on the bridge next to you if you push him over his body will stop the trolley saving the five workers but he will die what do you do push the fat man onto the tracks do nothing you may have noticed here that the decision is exactly the same you lose one life to save the five but instead of 90% of people saying it was okay to sacrifice the one for the five as in the first version this time around only 10% of people say that it's okay to throw the man onto the track our instincts tell us that deliberately causing someone's death is different than allowing them to die as collateral damage one reason is that pushing someone to their death feels more personal activating an emotional aversion to killing another person it just feels wrong for reasons that are hard to explain this problem is at the intersection between ethics and psychology which is why it's such an interesting puzzle to analyze your behavior researchers studied the brain activity of people thinking through these classical problems and found out that both puzzles activate regions of your brain focused on conscious and emotional decision-making but in the bridge version the emotional response is much stronger so if you decided to pull the lever on the first example but not push the man on the second you possess a relatively normal emotional and conscious decision-making mindset if you chose not to pull the lever or push the fat man the emotional side of your brain is much stronger if you chose to hit the lever and push the fat man you're a die-hard utilitarian that may tend to make morally questionable decisions finally if you chose not to hit the lever but you did choose to push the fat man you're confused or you really hate fat people please let me know in the comments which options you chose and why you chose them I'll be replying to a few of you down there and while you're at it don't forget to hit that subscribe button and click the bell so you can keep learning until your brain explodes super psychology everyone has a superpower they secretly wish they had but what you may not know is that the superpower you want reveals a lot about the kind of person you are so tell me if you could have one of these four superpowers which one would it be super strength super speed flight or invisibility let's break this down going for super strength indicates you like being the center of attention which is why this is closely aligned with extraversion and agreeableness what about super speed the power to get as much done as quickly as possible a choice popular with the more conscientious and neurotic among us and as for flight which is one of the most adventurous powers data gathered from 7065 leaders across the globe found that if given the option between flight ER and visibility 72% chose flight it's a choice linked to confidence levels of an individual and you can see in the graph here that leaders who chose to fly over be invisible were markedly more confident which is a strong indicator of openness and extraversion traits but those who chose to be invisible we're more likely to be in positions of clerical power and safety roles displaying less confident but more diligent and careful behaviors this means choosing invisibility places you solidly in the conscientious category so look out your secret super power might be manifesting itself in your job rich people problems imagine you have invented a new life-changing product but no investors are willing to take the plunge just yet they want to see results first putting it into production will bankrupt you but the returns could be huge your brother is your business partner but he and his family depend on the current business to survive if you go under he does too he doesn't want to risk it all but you control the company what do you do don't invest contractually make yourself responsible for your brother and his family if it all goes wrong take the leap pay off your brother cut them out and invest everything you probably guessed what this question is about the thought process and personality traits of rich people there's studies that show that rich people's personalities show common traits that help them get ahead in this world so let's break these answers down not taking any kind of leap to preserve everyone's safety is a conscientious act but if it was because you were worried about losing everything then that's more neurotic taking on your brother at an expense to yourself shows you care about the social implications of failure as well as wanting to put it all on the line meaning agreeableness and openness taking the leap regardless is a move that requires confidence and a sense of adventure so extraversion and openness and finally cutting your brother out and going for it would be the ultimate extroverted move with a dash of conscientiousness as you preserve your own interest research shows that rich people tend to be less neurotic and agreeable but more extroverted open and conscientious of all the answers they'd probably choose one of the last two I wonder if money can buy you a new family can I get a lift here's a really simple one you're driving down a road when you notice a hitchhiker would you pick up this hitchhiker yes or no okay then you keep on traveling down the road when you spot another one would you pick up this hitchhiker yes or no this was a test of a principle in psychology called cognitive bias - a lot of people appearance is a kind of subconscious indicator of trustworthiness but it's the traits of your personality which determined how you act on it if you said no to both hitchhikers you were probably thinking about how you don't know this person they could be murderers why risk it a very neurotic or conscientious response if you said yes to both hitchhikers you're displaying tremendous trust and are maybe looking to see beyond what they look like despite the possible danger this is common in those aligned with openness but if you answered no to the first and yes to the second or the other way around it's likely you were affected by their appearance this hints towards extraversion and agreeableness when you're judging the situation by a skin deep social standard so it's easier for you to make decisions based on what you see which is crucial in today's society some like it hot now let's turn up the heat you've just ordered some food at a restaurant and you realize it's quite bland you asked the waiter to put some sauce on it and they asked how spicy would you like it what do you say I'd like it hot I put hot sauce on my hot sauce actually bland is fine research from the Institute of Food Technologists has found a link between personality type and spicy food preference so according to the science if you said you'd like it hot you're more open to new sensations putting you in the openness category but for those who really love the deep burn you're the real risk takers here and there's a high chance you sit in the extraversion category a lot like spicy Saviour Beyonce and for those of you happy for her life without spice this question had a second layer as well did you trust a stranger to judge how much sauce you wanted according to the research this slides you into the neurotic category but you're not alone celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Kim Kardashian aren't huge fans of spice maybe bland has its benefits an electric dilemma imagine this you're at work and one of your assistants keeps messing up but it's not really their fault as they've been given bad old equipment to work with one day after a minor incident your boss instructs you to fire them you know that if you do they will really struggle to get another job what do you do fire them refuse to fire them threaten to quit if they're fired we'll start off by saying this is an adjusted version of the Milgram experiment designed to test your responses under the pressure of an authority figure if you answered fire them without hesitation that would score you a point in the neurotic category had conscientious if you had to think about it for a moment to some it feels like there's no point fighting Authority and going against them only puts you in the path of danger refusing to fire them works towards the agreeable trait you don't want your assistant to blame you for this unfair dismissal totally understandable and pulling the power move of threatening to quit that's a confident extroverted response it could also be considered as openness of seeing the inequality of the situation made you want to level the playing field do you bite your nails pull your hair or pick your skin those of us and there are many out there who occasionally like the bite on our nails have probably been told over the years that we're a bit anxious or highly stressed or maybe even a little socially awkward well according to psychologists these are all wrong sort of the real reason some people bite their nails is because their perfectionist according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of behavior therapy and experimental psychiatry nail biters are just people who are unable to relax and perform tasks at a normal pace this is what leads to frustration and anxiety which people often associate with high functioning nail biters one study found that pair of functional habits like nail biting were strongly correlated with conscientiousness and the least related to extraversion how do you take a selfie the world seems to be split into two groups those who take a selfie it basically every opportunity and those who avoid taking a selfie like they avoid a highly can ages disease however it seems like we can break these groups down a little further apparently your selfie style says a lot more than you think it does according to research from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore friendlier people were more likely to take their pics from below while the conscientious selfie taker was less likely to display the private space behind them if you tend to go for the duckface in your selfies than you are according to the research more likely to be neurotic interestingly most people tend to not pick up on these personality details when looking at selfies perhaps because they are too busy rolling their eyes how quickly do you eat your food we are what we eat although how we eat is important too in fact it can tell us an awful lot more about ourselves than we might realize according to behavioral food expert Juliette Baucus Ian if you're a slow eater the kind of person who is still munching long after the bill is arrived you were the type of person who likes to be in control and tend to be confident and even keeled vast eaters on the other hand are more likely to be impatient and ambitious perhaps unsurprisingly adventurous eaters according to Bob Hudson are people happy to try things outside their comfort zone in everyday life while picky eaters are more likely to be a little neurotic and anxious finally if you're the kind of person who separates their food and eats one type at a time then your methodical and very detail-oriented away from the dinner table playing the psychology field let's add a little romance into the mix you're having a drink in a bar when someone gorgeous walks in it's crowded and you want to get their attention what would you do plan out what you're going to say Wayne the whole thing try and catch their eye let them come to you the things people do when they're trying to flirt speak volumes about their entire personality we all know someone with enough confidence to just waltz up and blindly try their luck a definite sign of extraversion where is the person gearing themselves up by planning their moves and words meticulously sits on the more neurotic side at the table but what about more passive gestures allowing them to come to you as a confident move that also indicates you appreciate a sense of equality in other words it's a gesture of openness and if you're sweeping back your hair and trying to pose seductively then you're attempting to appear more socially adept in a word agreeableness final results okay so let's look at the results then you get very few openness scores but a wide mix of everything else then your personality type is average most people fall into this category it's a well rounded balance except for openness meaning you prefer routine over adventure so you're probably sociable a little pessimistic and sensitive to people around you if your answers were extraversion or conscientious focused your personality type is self-centered you're more likely to be successful but also way more ruthless and headstrong it also makes you socially confident and energetic did you find yourself high in agreeableness conscientiousness and extraversion then your type is reserved you're more trusting and well-liked but also very aware of the people around you you're able to approach problems with a level head and give thoughtful answers backing them up with incredible confidence and finally if you scored a mixed bag of all of them with exception of neuroticism then you're a role model you're dependable open to new ideas and a strong leader maybe taking too many calculated risks at times but you're someone other people look up to so you probably get asked for advice a lot how did you do let me know in the comments below and also tell me if you think your results fit your perception before taking the test thanks for watching [Music]
