Did anyone else in the UK or abroad see the recent offering of the Child in our Times series and do the Big Personality Test? I did. I won't tell you my scores unless you p.m me nicely (I'll show you mine if you show me yours...} https://www.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/personality/ is the website, but i'm afraid the test is currently out of action due to technical difficulties...
Basically the five elements/traits of personality tested were: 'openess' ; 'extroversion'; 'conscientiousness'; 'agreeability' and 'neuroticism'. I hope there is some real science behind these tests but I am also somewhat suspicious...To my lay person's brain, the test did not appear particularly rigorous or in depth though participants were asked for some very private information including stuff of a 'sexual nature'. One such question was along the lines of 'do you wish you were with another (man or woman) rather than your partner'? I'm still not sure if this was part of the personality test for deteriming traits or a way of find out if particular personalities are more unhappy in their relationships or more unfaithful (us extroverts are just a little bit more unfaithul it is hinted. So for strong extrovert read 'tart'. However I suspect I am simply too neurotic to be a successful at cheating....
