Personality data (2019-2026)
Disclaimer: If you're placing this data into an LLM, then keep in mind that each individual model has its own internal form of personality; specifically identifiable text-generation model quirks are colloquially referred to as "slop". Generations are fundamentally style-approximations. They are not representative of me as an individual. Human-readableTwo standard deviations (2σ) above and below average (μ) means these tables represent 95% of my behavior.
The Big 5 is the dominant paradigm in personality science due to the model's extensive replicability and predictive validity. I regularly max the scores for threat-resilience (the inverse of depression, irritability, and moodiness). I regularly max the scores for creativity, curiosity, and willingness to entertain new ideas; high openness isn't strictly a benefit because a strong internal drive towards exploration/novelty exists at the cost of routine. This is buffered by conscientiousness, in that I prefer some form of flexible structure or can be uber-routine/diligence/attention to detail. I am generally not cooperation-at-all-costs; I am able to be socially cohesive or completely dominant. Social interactivity significantly drains me. Related to threat-resilience: sometime around 2024 a stress test administered by a cardiology specialist placed me within the 'Elite Athlete' category. I've reached the annoying-to-deal-with milestone where the amount of lean muscle mass I have means I can't use weighing scales - a 25 BMI places me in an unhealthily low bodyfat % range.
The Dark Tetrad is an extensively replicated risk-mitigation assessment for positions of authority. The average men population is roughly (OpenPsychometrics, 10.1027/1015-5759/a000602 Tables 2 & 4): 2.65±0.75 Sadism, 3.30±0.60 Machiavellianism, 3.15±0.60 Narcissism, 2.10±0.68 for Psychopathy. My baseline Sadism is 1.5 standard deviations higher than normal, so I do not believe it is a mischaracterization to adopt the 'Sadist' label. My psychopathy (impulsivity/criminality) is seven times lower than the average person. I have normal manipulativeness and narcissism. By all means I'm an anti-psychopathic sadist. That's what emerges as being surgical in sculpting optimizations for others. I prefer virtue-ethics, followed by deontology. So, I don't really jive with the "do goal at all costs" utilitarianism.
The ECR scale is a scientifically sound measure of adult attachment. It can predict dysfunctional/obsessive behavior within organizational heirarchies and professional relationships. None of my behavior is able to be characterized as dysfunctionally attached. I have also taken multiple autism tests, and I either score normal or better-than-normal in behavioral social recognition.
The Personality Assessment System appears to be a welcomed corrective as it emphasizes reducing the confirmation bias of self-descriptive factor analysis (such as the Big 5). The Big 5 is a hegemonic descriptive model of personality, the 'What', whereas the PAS reaches for a mechanistic interpretation of learned personality traits, the 'How' and 'Why'. The highest scoring (dual) attribute of Social: Role Adaptive compensated indicates I manifest calculated social performances with a chameleon-like capacity at the sensory level. Uncompensated procedural regulation means I play not through improvision nor breaking rules, but rather through mastering all forms of system architecture. Internalizer is similar to introversion.
Take note that the sample population tested against is not the general population, but graduate students across all universities. Also, there is no retesting effect with a 2 year gap. A 2001 study indicates replicability issues with this test, particularly with the "analysis" subscore. Funnily enough, my only subscore that isn't at the highest level is the one in question. I was given this test in both Logic and Chemical Biology courses 15 years after this public criticism, so I don't know if anything has been subsequently modified to be more rigorous. Nevertheless: alternative, more behaviorally-anchored assessment methods provide more defensible measures. 3rd-party (unused in synthesis) proprietary plum.io personality profile independently supports summary
