How do I read my score?

Your scores are percentiles between 1 and 100. The higher the number, the more your personality agrees with the associated comment. Your percentile indicates how you compare against others who have taken this test. Since you have an overall score of 87, this indicates that you have a higher need-for-uniqueness than 86 out of 100 people.

Yo as freaky as me dude!

I have a couple of questions for those who scored highly on 'willingness to express dissent':
Do you see yourself as an argumentative sort of person?
Do you fall out with people or do you manage to disagree with them, but remain friends?
How do you cope with arguing? Do you ever win? (I'm presuming your social communication may not be as good as those who have an opposing view to you.)

The reason I'm curious about others is that I'm fine arguing/debating in writing or on here, but not IRL. I will express dissent, but probably not to your face. I tend to avoid confrontation altogether. Emotions get out of control, I can't think straight and end up going off at tangents and not sticking to the point. I will only argue if I don't mind losing the relationship altogether.

My scores would be higher if it weren't for the brainwashing and lobotomy.

Not really. I think of an argumentative person as someone who tries to start arguments. I try to go along and enjoy the interaction, but if someone says something I disagree with, it's more upsetting for me to let it slide than to get into a fight over it.



Usually I fall out with them, unfortunately. I tend to see people in black and white terms, and if I have a negative interaction with someone it'll often color my entire perception of them to the point where any further interaction is impossible. (I'm working on changing this - I'd like to be able to disagree and continue relating to someone, especially when they're someone I need to interact with, such as a teacher.)



Sometimes I win. It seems mostly if the person expressed a weakly-held, ill-informed opinion, they'll often concede that they weren't as knowledgable as me. But with a strongly-held opinion, I'm pretty sure it's impossible for anyone to change another person's mind just in one conversation. Still, I might have set the seeds of an idea that they'll adopt later.

Ettina, You sound like my Mum (I really love my Mum BTW). I wish I was as assertive as her. She's more likely to actually fall out with people than I am, but maybe that's not always a bad thing. I just keep it inside, trying to avoid any confrontation. I did it for 20 years, with my in-laws, then finally snapped. We haven't spoken since.
