Results under the cut because it's gonna be hella long
If you wish, you can take the quiz here
Openness: 38% Your low level of openness suggests that you draw your strength from tradition and familiarity. You are down to earth and prefer clear, straightforward direction to abstract or theoretical thinking.
Conscientiousness: 34% You like to act immediately on impulse, which can be both effective and fun. But if taken to the extreme this can produce undesirable long term consequences for yourself and others.
Extroversion: 3% Your low level of extroversion suggests you are likely to be more reserved than other people, enjoy time alone and value maintaining strong relationships with a few close friends.
Agreeableness: 24% You have a healthy sense of skepticism and a strong resolve. You don't shy away from making those tough decisions which can't please everyone but still need to be made.
Neuroticism: 96% You are emotionally reactive and prone to react intensely to events with feelings that linger for some time. This can affect your ability to think clearly or cope with change and stress.
How these elements combine:
OUTLOOK Realist Realists like to think they see things the way they really are. But it's important to remember that everyone sees the world differently. You might tend to keep a level head, and don't excite easily, but this can leave you susceptible to bouts of gloominess. If you feel yourself moving towards a negative emotional extreme, try looking to other people for fresh perspectives.
CHARACTER Indulgent Indulgent people might have a tendency to be more concerned with their own comfort and pleasure than other people's. But they can also sometimes have problems identifying when their indulgences have become undesirable and unhealthy habits. You may fall into this category if you find it difficult to identify areas of self improvement from time to time.
SELF CONTROL Impulsive You're usually able to keep things under control but sometimes anger can sneak up on you and take over very quickly. And when it does it feels natural to express it pretty directly. It's important to think not just about how your anger makes you feel, but how it makes other people feel too. It's also important - even if it doesn't seem so in the heat of the moment - to learn when it's best just to walk away from a situation.
COMPOSURE Direct Direct people can find it hard to resist their urges and impulses. In fact, when they really want something it's hard for them to keep their desire in check. If you find it all too easy to sacrifice your long-term goals for instant gratification, or wake up with a major headache the next morning, this might be an aspect of your life that would benefit from a bit more concentration.
TASTE Homebody You're very content in your own world, or in the company of a select few other people. People who share this characteristic enjoy simple pleasures in life, and are more likely to look for excitement and adventure in their own heads than by heading out into the wilderness for thrills.
SOCIABILITY Master People with this characteristic can sometimes be a bit competitive when interacting with other people. Also, they value their privacy and sense of respect very highly, so can come across as quite distant and closed off figures. If you recognise this trait in yourself it’s important to think about the different ways of getting what you want from people, and giving them what they want too.
ACTION Laid back Laid back people don't worry too much about big plans and goals. They're much more likely to keep a fairly clean slate so they're able to respond to those sudden important jobs that always seem to crop up. You might sometimes lack the motivation to take charge or avoid coming up with new ideas, but you know deep down that putting in the effort will benefit you in the long run.
ATTITUDE Disciplined People with disciplined attitudes have strong and firm beliefs about things like society and morality. For them, there is a right way of doing things and a proper way to behave, so they support firm discipline when people step out of line. It sounds like you follow the rules and you expect everyone else to follow them as well.
PROCESS Drifter Drifters tend not to be particularly interested in academic or intellectual challenges, and need a clear idea of incentive, outcome and reward to keep them focused on a task they're not naturally inclined towards. If this sounds like you sometimes, you could perhaps benefit from some help organising and keeping track of your work.
RESILIENCE Headstrong Headstrong people might seem like they're bulletproof, but deep down they can actually be quite risk averse. As a result, rather than confront difficult situations or worries for fear of what might happen, they might prefer to bury their heads in the sand. This may work in the short term, but you know that problems don't always disappear just by being ignored.
Alright, so definitely saving the visual DNA personality test. this this is atrociously long. it is surprisingly accurate. i also think it was written by one of us, (a tumblr person) definitely an entertaining read. i even laughed at points. i hope that was the point.

You’re a Harmonizer
And you’ve got a surprising streak of curiosity. Sure you might lose a few cool points – but to be honest, you were not really racking them up anyway.
A real deep thinker, you’ve got clear values and well-formed views, not that you’re going shout your mouth off about them; not your style. Reflective and sometimes reserved, your vacant middle distant stare could be misconstrued as ‘stand-offish’ but you call it poise.
It’s all about you…
It’s clear from the foggy expression that you are completely unclear. You possess the power of delay and are the master of indifference. You apathetically shrug.
Stepping lightly (perhaps the wrong word) round the subject of how your life could improve, you’re in need of a complete overhaul. Remember, slow and steady wins the race; or at least finishes it.
Next time an opportunity comes your way, swallow hard on that ‘no’. Choke it back. Say ‘yes’. No matter how quiet. Try something new; wander into the unknown, meet new people, head down that dark alley… well maybe not the latter.
You can’t be cooped up for long; you thrive off wide-open space. You answer the call of the wild with a primal scream; else a wander up a hill with a flask will do nicely. Nothing beats fresh air – except maybe water. But they are both essentials.
Time
If you want a job doing… ask someone else. You are close to a #fail. So pull your socks up… or stockings. I mean, whatever you are in to.
Seemingly you’re motivated, committed and equipped enough. You are a jack-of-all-trades but maybe the master of none?
Fully exploring a situation and looking at the whole picture makes you a valuable player. You can get frustrated when no one is as balanced or as fair as you. But unless they are mind readers you are going to have to learn to pipe up shy boots.
An average day can pass with you sort of trying hard… if you… you know… really try hard to try hard: yeah we get what you mean. But you’re a bit too cool to sweat it. Now, we could tell you to reimagine your long-term goals (do you have them?), understand the wider impact of your decisions (did you make any?), but we don’t need to tell a dude like you what to do: you are heading in the right direction.
Life is not non-stop excitement – and if it were, your heart wouldn’t take it. Sure some of us bore more easily than others but maybe, just maybe, you are being bratty. Handing out tough love today.
Energy
Mornings come like a bolt out of the blue, but by the time you hit work you’ve managed to peel your left eye open, and ironed the deep creases out of your cheeks.
Downtime? You get away from EVERYONE. Sure you love your folks, friends and colleagues (ahem)… but guys, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Things can always be put off for another 5 minutes, or for an hour, or mañana … or till the point of… forever. Getting you shifted sometimes is no small task, and that isn’t down to water retention, or heavy jewellery. No: the diagnosis is plain idleness in dem bones. Get the heart rate up above 60, break a sweat, or even stand up once in a while. Short of prescribing a rocket up… well, you know what you need to do. Only reward yourself when you eventually do it. We’re watching.
Love
Let’s talk love. When that special someone shows you’ll be joined at the hip and indulging in PDAs.
So you like to spend time just hanging out one-on-one, doing regular stuff – which is great as it makes you everyone’s favourite - a cheap date.
Look down: your heart is, of course, there on your sleeve, plain to see. Maybe deep down there is a little part of you that actually believes in love at first sight – the optimism is cute. You trust your instincts and try to love without caution. As you stare into your lover’s eyes, you will try to guess what the other is thinking… probably ‘blink first’.
Money
You’re the type to lose your shoes, go gluten-free and talk a lot about ‘letting go’. One of those people who can look beyond material things: until your mobile goes missing, then you will switch back to a possession hungry magpie. But hey a couple hours of repenting or a dose of primal scream therapy will get you back to your carob-eating self. You like to care for those around you and if they’re happy, you’re happy. You appreciate that both highs and lows make up the balance of life, and always try and stay spiritually strong and focused.
One thing is for sure - you ain’t no philistine! You are bookish, or maybe a tad square, depending how to look at it.
Shelling out on life-defining purchases that will get your workmates drooling; you might not be the type to camp out for the latest gadget launch… but be honest… you have thought about it.
For you, getting away from it all means a two-day drive and four-day trek to pitch a tent in the wilderness, only to have to pack it all up and head back a day later. Well at least you made it, right?
Fun
If you are not immersing yourself in literary criticism, getting lost in a concerto, or drinking in the latest work by some deeply challenging young artist (that probably defies logic or even ability) you are what? Probably surfing gossip news on the net … come on… we’re right?!
Seems like your nose is never far from a book: a pulp fiction, or a Mills and Boon – you’ve studied the great works of our time. And if you haven’t then you just watch the DVD.
Your days turn to night in the blink of an eye so unless you want to discount sleeping (well it is for the weak) you might want to see where you can claw back time for yourself.
Your hobbies are your reward for working hard the rest of the time. They absolutely shouldn’t be boring. If you find that you don’t want to play football or grow vegetables any more then stop doing it and try something else.
Thinking through your hobbies to suit your resources is probably a good idea: collecting taxidermy in a studio flat, not so much.
With the ability to see the most inane moments in life as romantic, we wonder if you have been fitted out with rose-tinted contacts at birth?
