BLIRT test

Your response type:

In-Between
Your answers indicate that you are moderate in blirtatiousness. Because you're neither too expressive nor reticent in the way you express yourself to others, people aren't drawn as much to how you are talking as much as they are to what you are saying. This is good considering that you are able to express your opinions and be assertive, but you don't have the problem of offending others by cutting off their words or appearing to put your needs in front of theirs. Although you are viewed as quite sociable, you also need moments to collect your thoughts at which times others view you as thoughtful.




Your self-criticalness:

High
You scored relatively high on the criticalness scale. This means that you tend to perceive yourself as relatively high on the following dimensions: critical, judgmental, moody, controlling and dominant. You also rated yourself relatively low on these dimensions: patient, warmth, and tolerance.


pfft, no..whatever. I said I was NOT moody



The questionnaires you have just completed are designed to extend these previous findings by examining why people with these communication styles experience difficulty. For example, we are wondering if men who are low blirters feel resentment toward blirtatious, critical women because such men feel that such women do not conform to the stereotypically feminine woman.

Brooder

http://www.outofservice.com/blirt/images/trans.gifYour responses indicate that you're low in blirtatiousness. Low scorers don't usually say the first thing that comes to mind; rather, they tend to hesitate and deliberate before responding to others. One reason you feel compelled to be careful in responding to others is because you are worried about being evaluated negatively. Often people low in blirtatiousness are shy and introverted and tend to dwell on thoughts internally instead of discussing them with others. Because low-blirters sometimes have difficulty saying how they feel, they may sometimes fail to get their needs met in relationships.
Actually, I'm not too worried about being evaluated negatively. I just don't want to waste the effort of getting into it with morons over topics that are largely irrelevant anyway. (Thinking about my workplace setting.)



Moderate

http://www.outofservice.com/blirt/images/trans.gifYou scored in the moderate range on the criticalness scale. This means that you tend to rate yourself as neither high nor low on the following dimensions: critical, judgmental, moody, controlling, dominant, patient, warmth, and tolerance.
That sums it up nicely. Ambivalent to the end.

Why? They were harmless and apolitical. I was curious what they were measuring. Maybe the breadth of social connections?

Often people low in blirtatiousness are shy and introverted and tend to dwell on thoughts internally instead of discussing them with others. Because low-blirters sometimes have difficulty saying how they feel, they may sometimes fail to get their needs met in relationships.I thought that I would get at least medium. I don't consider myself shy at all, although reserved.

You scored relatively high on the criticalness scale. This means that you tend to perceive yourself as relatively high on the following dimensions: critical, judgmental, moody, controlling and dominant. You also rated yourself relatively low on these dimensions: patient, warmth, and tolerance.In relevance to MBTI, I would consider this to be a J tendency.

I guess I wondered why they all had to be about America, as opposed to just society at large. And if they were supposed to measure the breadth of social connections, I would think they might have phrased them more generally to avoid having politics throw the results. Or maybe I was just grouchy that day. :)

Much of our research has examined this communication style and how it influences romantic relationships. Recent findings indicate that people are happiest in relationships when their blirt levels match. That is, whether it's 2 low blirters, 2 moderate blirters, or 2 high blirters, similarity in how intimate partners communicate with one another leads to heightened satisfaction. On the other hand, mismatches in blirtatiousness are associated with relatively low relationship satisfaction.

In addition, communication seems to unfold well if the man outscores the woman on the blirt by any amount. On the other hand, when the woman outscores the man on the blirt by any significant amount AND the woman scores in the "high" range on criticalness, then the members of the couple may experience challenges in communication that other couples do not. Of course, this finding is based on averages and there are always exceptions to such generalizations. Your relationship could be one such exception.

The questionnaires you have just completed are designed to extend these previous findings by examining why people with these communication styles experience difficulty. For example, we are wondering if men who are low blirters feel resentment toward blirtatious, critical women because such men feel that such women do not conform to the stereotypically feminine woman. Additionally, we hope to gain insight into how blirtatiousness interacts with other variables in determining relationship satisfaction. Your participation will help us to better understand these questions.

moridin, why did you take this test? did you not read emma's results? it's obviously full of shit

er.... no i didn't just read a couple of results in the first page of posts (I have mine set to 10 a page I think, internet connection at works sucks and so I like the page to load eventually!)

I didn't like it I could figure out why all the america questions and it seemed really sucky too, there were few questions actually related to what I do in social situations and it seemd like a vield US popularity questionaire.

careful with the 'anythings'. some people might take advantage of such an offer.

:whistle:



however, i notice that you didn't say that you'd oblige, just that i could PM with a request. so, i guess you're in the clear.

[zhang_bob]

Your response type: Blirter.



Your answers indicate that you are a high blirter, which means that you have a tendency to express your thoughts as soon as they come to mind, become very engaged in conversations and interrupt those around you, and respond to people in conversations quickly. Because you're good at keeping conversations going, others see you as very sociable and likable. If you're not careful you may sometimes come across as brash. In general, you think well of yourself, partly because your willingness to express yourself allows you to get your needs met with little difficulty.

Heck.... I'd probably oblige pretty much anything... just so long as it didn't involve my mother, rodents or the Sultan of Brunei!
