Your personality tendencies in a nutshell...
You rarely make commitments to people or your environment because you prefer to keep your options open, even at the expense of achievement. You are curious about many different things and highly value artistic expressions and ingenious thoughts. You are calm and logical for the most part, but some things worry you more than others. You show some tendency toward competitiveness and are comfortable expressing your opinions. You live a quiet life and are reserved in your actions and behaviors.
YouJustGetMe.com's guest psychologist Dr. Peggy has a little more, uh, informal interpretation of your traits...

About that "Casual" bubble... As a child, your mother probably told you to pick up your room at least a zillion times. Alas, you didn't pick up your room then, and you sure as heck ain't going to pick up your room now. Look around; you probably see a stockpile of dirty dishes, clothes on the floor, and maybe even leftover pizza behind the couch from the 1980s. Is it a wonder why you can never find your keys? Speaking of finding things, where's Pookie, the pooch? Probably underneath all of the junk that used to be known as your living room. You tend to be impulsive and wind up doing things that other people might consider extremely risky. Just because you packed up your belongings and moved to India one day to become a snake charmer does not mean that you don't have a plan. Because of your laissez-faire attitude, you will always think that everything is okay and will probably spend much less of your life worrying about mundane stuff than other people. Who knows, you might just enjoy an adventure or two along the way.
About that "Abstract" bubble... You are intellectually curious, imaginative, and literary. I do believe the technical term is "artsy fartsy." When reading poetry, the images may move you until you quiver with delight, or perhaps quivering from all of the espresso that you've been drinking. Speaking of caffeine, it would not be a big surprise if you indulged in other substances to heighten your senses. After all, whoever heard of creative geniuses who were sober? Freud was a coke-head, Hemingway was a fall-down drunk, and Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul to the devil, probably while high on wacky tabacky. You have quite the active fantasy life and are often in la la land, earning you the well-deserved nickname "space cadet" from your loved ones. Mostly, you're a lot of fun to hang out with because you're always game for whatever idea your non-medicated (but should be) friend has in mind. The next time someone suggests that you streak naked in the dead of winter, do think twice, or at least wear some mittens.
About those "Unemotional" and "Neurotic" bubbles... To quote the Hershey chocolate company, "sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." That pretty much sums up your score on the trait of emotional stability. There are times when you feel such intensity of emotions, mostly negative, that you just want to lie down and spend the day thinking about how you can score Prozac. In other contexts (like when you are on your meds), you feel just fine - calm, happy, ready to face the day. The emotions cancel each other out and you look like you are dealing with life fairly well statistically. Another possibility for your middle scores on emotional stability is that some things push your button more than others and when your buttons get pushed, you stress and freak. What's that I hear? Is that your mom calling? For the most part though, you are the epitome of grace under pressure.
About that "Competitive" bubble... You show some tendency toward being competitive, which means that you are likely to value your own self-interests above the well-being of others. Many people think that being cooperative (vs. competitive) is the socially desirable trait to possess, but is it really? If everyone in the world were agreeable and friendly, that would mean that there would be no one in this world to ask the tough questions and make the hard decisions that sometimes need to be made. Sure, friendliness is nice when you're trying to win a popularity contest, but life is not always about being the most liked. After all, Darwin said it best when he coined the term "survival of the fittest," not "survival of the nicest." Although you do tend to be more competitive than cooperative, you also show some cooperative tendencies. This probably means that while you are a lion in some contexts, you might be a bunny in others.
About that "Introverted" bubble... Do you have difficulty remembering what your voice sounds like sometimes because you rarely ever use it? Do you talk to people at parties, or are you too busy hiding in a corner? Has anyone ever filed a missing persons report on you just to find you days later in the basement playing your one millionth game of solitaire? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be what psychologists call introverted. Introverted people can mostly be found among librarians, scientists, and any other professions where an individual would never have to interact with another human being, ever. In fact, the prospect of having to deal with people may give you hives. What do you know, introverts, you may have a medical condition. You tend to be a hesitant person and have to mull things over for days, weeks, and even years before you act on whatever idea you have. If you wait too long though, opportunity might just slip away and you'll never know what could have been. On the bright side, introverts are typically geniuses, mad geniuses with crazy hair, but geniuses nonetheless.
