Seanjos Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 The profile results split into a positive and negative trait, the goal is to find the fundamental psychological premise (reaction) to a normal daily situation. They measured heart rate and brain heat and something else ? My answer determines the next question the supervisor asks and then works down in this fashion for as long as it takes (20 minutes for some, 2 hours for others) to find the most salient characteristic. They put you into one of 7 types that 98.8% of people fall into. Mine was an extremely rare one Sean-Joseph Keogh Projective Test Result- =Schadenfreude Type: Undefined N/A Occurance: 3 in 100,000 (0.003%) [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] The advisor seemed quite excited. Probably because she might be talking to a potential serial-killer.... She said it's not as extreme as it sounds. I asked if it's dangerous, she said absolutely not, but more sensitive people will pick up on it and find me very intimidating. I really don't know what to make of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinky Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 You should not pay much attention to it. Projective tests are known for their low validity. It does not tell much about you. Furthermore, if the test was constructed just for the company, the probability that the test is invalid is even higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
