YouJustGetMe.com - How Well Can You Guess Personality?

At some point in your love affair with the internet, you’ve probably stumbled across sites which offer personality test and analyses. These sites of course range from the more unpolished, juvenile sites to actual standardized tests concocted by psychiatrists.

You Just Get Me is sort of a hybrid of these two extremes. The site claims it is run by psychiatrists, yet you’ll notice that when you take the 40-question personality test, some of the questions seem a bit wacky. After going through all of the questions, You Just Get Me generates a personality rating for you in the form of “bubbles”. Bubbles represent personality extremes, so the larger one is, the more likely you are to behave in that way. For example, one bubble pairing is “Extroverted” and “Introverted”; if your introverted bubble is larger, you tend to be more of a wallflower. Accompanying the bubbles is a lengthy (and oddly breezy) explanation of what your results mean. After this, the site encourages you to check out the profiles of other users to see if you can “guess” their personalities, based on a thumbnail photo and username only. You’ll go through the same set of questions, this time answering them as though you were the person in question taking the test. At the end of this task as well, you’ll be given a rating that tells you how accurate you were. The site requires you to continually rate others as long as they rate you (this keeps your site score above 0, allowing you to continue to use their features for free).
