"I'm making an announcement, you might regard it as an advertisement, I don't want you to waste your time." No one tunes out

First time I saw someone virtually apologize for promoting a product he actually believes in.

8:52 "we tried to develop a personality test that isn't designed to make you feel good about yourself." Scored in the 98 percentile of Neuroticism... mission accomplished definitely don't feel good about myself now

Just took the test and I don’t think I’ve read anything in life that has made me that uncomfortable. I scored a 10 in conscientiousness. I turned 36 in 2 days. Time to reinvent myself-I’ve done a lot to start in the past few months: quit smoking weed, got a 40 hour a week job (been a gigging musician for years and moderately successful, but it hasn’t turned me into the man I want to be), and been a lot more responsible. Thank you for this, Jordan.

Sorting the world one individual at a time. You and your team are a beacon of light Dr. Peterson

A note to anyone thinking of doing the UnderstandMyself test: don't be *too* self-critical. I did the test and it was only after I got back extreme numbers that I realised I had been rather harsh on myself. Just try to be realistic and balanced in your self-assessment :)

Agreeableness: 87 - compassion 81 - politeness 85 Conscientiousness: 59 - industriousness 18 - orderliness 90 Extraversion: 80 - enthusiasm 92 - assertiveness 52 Neuroticism 31 - withdrawal 72 - volatility 7 Openness to experience: 80 - intellect 82 - openness 69 and I'm a man. Well, helps me explain why I am extremely sensitive to small perturbations in my immediate social environment. Let me tell you it can be quite exhausting. But at the same time I am usually too high on living to really notice, so I shouldn't really complain!

Man. I greatly appreciate how straight forward the test was. It didn’t pull any punches, and there was basically zero fluff and psychobabble to make me feel good about myself. All the other personality tests on the market generally just tell you how wonderful and unique you are, instead of helping you identify the flaws and vices you might have. I scored pretty well, at least as I might define well, on most categories except for conscientiousness. It’s good to see it written out for me, and to see just how apathetic I am to work compared to other people. Definitely going to recommend this to others, thank you Dr. Peterson

I understand your reasoning behind only allowing a single test per person. I hope that you might find a way for people to take it several times over the course of several years, perhaps in the form of a downloadable form that will not affect your numbers, particularly when overcoming addictions and habits to see actual changes in personality through adversity and hardship. My personal reasoning is that I recently overcame an eight year, severe drug addiction, am currently in the process of quitting nicotine, and would like to see a change in how I see myself and my personality from now, to 6 months from now, and so on. Thank you.

Scored in the 0th percentile for agreeableness. I now understand why I have very few friends and see everyone as competition. Great stuff love it Dr. Peterson. Thank you for the help to sort myself.

Last time I was this early I cleaned my room and saved my father from the underworld, roughly speaking.

My time is never wasted with you Dr. !

You’re amazing Jordan. Thank you for everything that you do.

This man is adding so much value. I also like his honest marketing..... I might do the same next time I sell my online course. Peterson doesn't even need to convince me.... I'm already convinced after so many videos. I'm sure it will $10 well spent

My grandfather was a child psychologist at the Menninger clinic for 20+ years, and made a major departure from psychoanalytic conventions of the time when he started focusing on the importance of the individual in the context of the family (a dimension that was not considered important by many of his colleagues at that time). He was ahead of his time in his thinking, and died before he could really flesh out his psychoanalytic theories in private practice towards the end of his life. I believe he would have found the work you are doing as extremely valuable and interesting.

This is something i'll pay for without question. Not only is JP providing us with worldview shattering information, he's also equipping us with the tools to help us navigate this space as well!

Most people cant afford private psychologists. Giving this for such affordable price is an amazing bless for people. I cant even weight the value given on the large scale but i know this gift is unvaluable. Warmest thanks for dr peterson and associates. I hope your enterprise skyrockets beyond any possible odds🔥

Well done Dr. Jordan- you are improving so many lives with your contributions.

Shut up and take my money 💜

I am a chronic pain/migraine sufferer whose high school education and socialisation process has suffered consequently. I had immense political interest and ideational curiosity, which subsequently brought me to you. I am cooperating with a psychologist whom I have shared your work with and was astonished to find other patients had been influenced by your work. Your hardship has brought me great relief, and will continue to do so. Thank you Jordan

I took the test this morning. It is 'spot-on' for my personality. Thanks, Mr. Peterson.

Thank you Dr. Peterson and team for this assessment. Brings some much needed insight

Thank you for all you do, Dr Peterson. Your work is benefiting many people in the world.

Dr. Peterson you are an inspiration to so many people. Thank you for being so dedicated.

I did mine! I have been studying various self mastery modalities over my entire adult life and found this assessment excellent!

You are helping me to fix my life after dependence Dr. Peterson. Thank you!

Oth percentile in industriousness, let's go, but first let me take a nap...

Thank you for providing this as it will be a fantastic opportunity for insight and growth. I genuinely believe that JP is one of the Greats (for lack of a better term) of our generation and I have gained several tools in my exploration and "cleaning up my room" process. Much appreciated!

Glad I took the test. Very helpful insights. Thank you Doctor Peterson.

I love this man! Thank you Jordon, a true blessing on this earth and the other professors of this kind.

This test can be brutal, like looking in a mirror showing you all the things about you that you don't like and don't want to admit to, as well as the good. I've read over my report several times now, gradually taking new things in each time and understanding how each thing manifests itself. It certainly opens you up if you embrace it. I love how it doesn't try to paint you as a character like a lot of other tests. It just sticks to cold facts and hides nothing, you then do most of the work in profiling yourself and learning your strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you, for this personality test and the self authoring suite. I ordered both, for myself and a friend. One of us is 51,& one of us is 26; we’re certain both will help us.

I took it and I’d say its pretty damn spot on. Happy I tried it. Now I can continue to grow. Thanks JP!

Did the test and was very honest with myself. The results were eye-opening in certain areas and I have printed my results, will study them. I think it’s worth the money.

Thank you for your hard work Dr. Peterson

Agreeableness - 35 Compassion - 42 Politeness - 32 Conscientiousness - 15 Industriousness - 14 Orderliness - 25 Extraversion - 40 Enthusiasm - 3 Assertiveness - 90 Neuroticism - 59 Withdrawal - 76 Volatility - 38 Openness to Experience- 99 Intellect - 97 Openness - 97 Well. I’ve got my work cut out for me. Time to slay some dragons.

The test completely called me out. Good. It found my issues and brought them to my attention. Some I was aware of. The best part was that it gave me the solution. I found the gap in my practices from the last few years. I over looked it and now it’s shockingly clear just what was going on with my psyche. Thank you. An absolute gut check.

I took it today, and found it really useful. Thank your Dr. Peterson for all your work and aid to the world.

I actually find his voice calming. Like ASMR.

I got very extreme results. While taking the test, my method was to come up with a recent anecdote and then rate my behavior in light of the phrase. The insight into how different scoring people think about my scores was interesting.

I actually bought this twice. A little over a year ago I took the Big 5 test, and then recently after having massive changes in my worldview post psychedelics. Some huge changes, as I expected, but it was still nice to see some confirmation that it wasn't all in my head. Thank you for offering this, Dr. Peterson.

Thanks JBP. I bought the test and I'm now motivated to sort myself out and manage my high neuroticism and low conscientiousness.

I just completed the Big 5 Personality Assessment Dr. Peterson is mentioning here. It is an excellent program, in that it was very easy to complete, and I found my results to be fascinating , and clearly explained. Many, many thanks to Dr. Peterson and his team. By the way, a few months ago I did the Self Authoring Program, and got some great results from that, too.

One of the greatest men to ever live. Thank you Dr Peterson for everything you do. You have changed my life and inspired all of my friends. Thank you thank you

I just took this yesterday and I'll be damned if it didn't lay me bare. It also validated much of what I knew about myself. Thank you.

Looking forward to the Self Authoring Program I did mine yesterday and it was extremely accurate - I had to fight back tears of relief as I read the results because for the first time in my life, how I feel was put in to words. I now have an better understanding of myself and can now make a plan and document my goals. I look forward to seeing you in September in New Zealand.

Easily one of the best ten bucks that I've spent in my life - thank you, Dr. Peterson and company!!

My sincerest thanks, Jordan, for everything you’ve done. Your work has changed my perspective on many things over roughly the last year and those things have grouped together to improve my mental health radically.

Jordan - thank you for creating this for the world and for not pretending this wasn’t a promotional video. But I must say, it was at least one of the most educational promotional videos I’ve ever seen. Fantastic and best synthesis of the Big Five I’ve ever heard. Hats off to you professor! Thank u sir!

I'm humbly grateful for the Internet, the power of knowledge and the power to "Know thyself" is the power of the INDIVIDUAL. Thank you JP for your overwhelming contribution to the power of the individual.

Amazing work professor Peterson. You are a constant inspiration.

Apparently I'm 99% Jim Carrey. Aaaaallrighty then.

I have gotten the self authoring suite. It is intimidating with the number of faults I need to work on. I am 48 years old. I need to go get the understand myself assessment before I continue. This could take the rest of my life to rectify Lol but the consequences of no action are indeed dire. Thank you Dr. Peterson and Team for your dedication to researching what really works. If you believe in prayer, please pray that some force will compel me to follow through with these commitments.

Agreeableness: 23% Conscientiousness: 83% Extraversion: 89% Neuroticism: 50% Openness to Experience: 89% This test was super interesting. My results were not at all what I expected but the descriptions are so accurate. I feel like I learned something about myself. Thanks, JBP!

Thank you Dr Peterson. For everything. You're the most positive role model and your dedication, along with your selflessness, has had a massive positive impact on my life and many more.

💥Just took the test!💥 I'm full of extreme contractions.

What a refreshing initial disclaimer to receive, where we the audience are properly informed on the reality and intentions of the video to come before committing our time, so that that we can choose whether to exit at the beginning or not... Personally I bailed out instantly, thought about it a sec and then hit back, clicked 'like' and wrote this... Peterson, you legendhead, you are a trailblazer for authenticity.

For the last five years I've been giving vouchers out to my friends to help them understand themselves and their spouses. On occasion it demoralizes a person but I always encourage and remind them that once they center on their virtues and their faults, they can identify where their major weaknesses are and get to work.

Bucko squad, reporting in.

Just the introduction, displaying his honesty, convinced me that it's worth my time and money.

I bought it, very humbling and thought provoking after reading all the information on my personality traits. Well worth it.

I purchased the test yesterday and completed it immediately, curious to see my results. Some of what I saw confirmed what I already consciously knew of myself, and still more revealed what perhaps I already knew on some level, yet was too uncomfortable to face. Specifically, I found I am moderately low in conscientiousness. This result actually explains a lot of my life experience thus far, me being a person who flits from project to project, excited for what each one could become but never having the commitment to see them through to the end. In fact I was beginning to worry that I'd be like this forever, and would never amount to much, being learned in everything yet accomplished in nothing. Seeing this result has eased my mind greatly, for now I know that this behaviour of mine doesn't mean I am defective in any way, but is just a result of my human personality, explicable by our modern science of understanding our minds. I also know that I am not doomed to this fate, that we can expand the range of our own traits and become fuller, more effective people. I think Mr. Peterson described that as the development of wisdom. Thank you Jordan Peterson, and keep up the good work. It's important for all of us.

He gets more words out in a single breath than anyone I've ever heard. BREATHE!!!

I took the new personality test and I was surprised with some of my results. It really helped bring to light some faults I didn't know I had in relation to others and I was able to make adjustments to my Present Authoring segments. I'm happy I took the test.

I bought it before finishing the video, did not regret one bit. Thank you Dr.Peterson.

The only person on UKposts to admit at the beginning of a video that you will be watching a description/advertisement, giving you the option to opt out 👏

You’re a great man Jordan Peterson. Thanks for being here. ✌️

I have had to play this numerous amounts of time because the advice, thoughts and processes of understanding oneself here is so profound to me. I’d like to thank Jordan, from his lectures on personality, to help me understand the world around me, to know it is not an all good all innocent place. Myself, the shadow that can be denied by the self quite passively and Concepts and such with an incredible insight into the individual that has helped me attempt to turn my life around from the brink of chaos and disorder. Just to throw a sort of life-line even. And I hope he continues dishing out content, as it is so useful, and can literally save someone’s life. Like mine. Thank you JP.

Thank you for all of the hard work that you have done and how much you really do care about us. Your a rarity. I'm going to take the test with 100% honesty then I will receive 100% percent honesty. The Authoring program is a brilliant idea. BTW I also appreciate that this has not been made with kid gloves but with an old pair of boxing gloves. ❤❤

Thank you for doing this. Took the test.... Not happy with the results, but the feeling of knowing myself a lot more is an amazing feeling. I feel a little more control in my life with this knowledge. Thank you again.

You got me in "hi everyone so". I'm in!

Best $10 I ever spent! Hurt like hell to see the results but I’ve been wondering for years why nobody likes me- now I know why. Boo frickety hoo

I am low intellect and industriousness. I am not a fan of doing complex tasks and have a hard time with self discipline. I sort of knew these things about myself, but I wanted to take this test to see how I ranged in the big 5 (instead of just assuming what I might be). I wanted to measure if I am how I see myself, which shows I am honest with myself for the most part, at least. But I know I need work and the personality test helped push me a step further into self-improvement. I have been wandering for a purpose and I have finally committed to This goal instead of viewing it as a side quest. My own self, productivity, and future are important enough for my full attention. I plan to use the self authoring programs in the future as well. Thank you for everything Mr. Peterson.

Thank you Dr. Peterson...you are truly a godsend.

Learning so much from the test results. Very insightful and interesting. Good advice about taking test away from distractions etc to get accurate results.

I love how introvert has "anime xD"

I took this personality assessment, it helped me understand myself better and understand the remarks O have been hearing for many years from the members of my family. I highly recommend this to those who want to understand themselves better and wants to know where to start working on themselves for a transformational journey that everyone needs to take. Thanks a lot for working on this program that really helped me understand ourselves. More power to you and your work Dr. JBP.

thank you for putting this together. it is exactly what i need right now. for me jordan you are best described by the lyrics of john lennon. a working class hero is something to be, a working class hero is something to me. this work that you offer to us that helps us understand ourselves better is important work in a time of drifting personality this seems like an anchor from which one can build and i am very appreciative of your focus and objective to give aid to those who need this guidance. myself included. i hope that it helps me to understand and refine and define my voice. which for some reason feels lost right now.

Learned more from this one test than 35 years of other personality tests. Thank you for making this broadly available. And at a great price.

This sounds excellent. I'm looking forward to taking the tests.

Thank you so much for being such a bright light. It really helps navigate the darkness 🙏 thank you Mr Peterson, you are greatly appreciated

While watching him promoting this website, UKposts showed me an ad about his book and I saw the ads for his merchandise...gladly bought them all 😁

I've capitulated and taken the test: spot on, really accurate. Sadly, I wish sometimes I could've understood so much more about me sooner, and really for success of other's sake. I am, very often, hard on others, but I could do better to improve my agreeableness to lead others to success. We only know what we know, perhaps I could be a better leader in this dimension. Otherwise, solid assessment that aligned with other known aspects of myself.

I would also add that this sort of perspective on a personality could be useful for further developing a fictional character in the storymaking process. Once you have a relatable character's defining experiences and reactions to them, these traits--originally designed to explain an existing personality--can also define an imaginary personality meaningfully. That will, I think, make it easier (for more orderly writers) to consider how their creations will react to totally novel situations.

Thank you for this, Dr. Peterson and all. I just bought this, and it must be accurate-all my wife did was nod her head and say things like, "yeah, no kidding," or, "I could have told you that for $10." Regardless, well worth it, fun, and interesting. Great work, and thanks!

Jordan! This is a wonderful tool that you and your colleagues have built. I am amazed by the attention to detail you have put into this

Okay. Tonight is not the night for me to do this. It's good advice not to do it when hungry or tired, and I am definitely tired.

I did the test. English is not my mother tongue, but I think I had no problem in understanding the assessment's questions, with a couple of dictionary checks. I had some food, no interruptions, I took my time to answer the most honestly I could. I also could not pause my chronic anxiety and mild depression, so I'll take it in account with the results. No big surprises there. But anyway it's really interesting to see them charted in a 5 dimensions net. I'm 50, biologist who got a late PhD in Biotechnologies, who's been working as programmer for the last 10 y; definitely not a career seeker. I feel I can understand how my major traits of very high agreeableness, extremely high neuroticism, moderately low conscientiousness, moderately high extraversion, extremely high openness to experience picture the mess I'm in. But I feel good looking at the chart... Now I feel I know which node has to be pulled out (orderliness) and which other I'd push down (agreableness) ... this is my two-sided battle plan to try reducing both the neuroticism aspects, which are really freezing my existence. Thank you so much Dr. Peterson (and all collaborators) ! Agreableness 93 Compassion 93 Politeness 85 Conscientiousness 35 Industriousness 62 Orderliness 16 Extraversion 75 Enthusiasm 75 Assertiveness 68 Neuroticism 97 Withdrawal 86 Volatility 99 Openness to Experience 99 Intellect 97 Openness 97

I have been studying alot of BIG 5 traits of personality and we were taught to memorize it as OCEAN. That is Openess, consentiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism, I am studying clinical psychology and i know the importance of understanding each of this trait and calculating the level of each trait in one's own personality.

If I could just stop procrastinating and take the damn programs. Maybe I'm just too afraid? Thank you always JP. You make the world a better place.

Thank you to everyone who worked on this and have given us another opportunity to get some interesting insights about ourselves. I have taken the test and have some thoughts and wonder if there's anyone here who would care to think along and perhaps help me out. My results: Agreeableness - 94 Compassion - 95 Politeness - 85 Conscientiousness - 66 Industriousness - 44 Orderliness - 80 Extraversion - 16 Enthusiasm - 13 Assertiveness - 26 Neuroticism - 31 Withdrawal - 72 Volatility - 7 Openness to Experience- 99 Intellect - 97 Openness - 97 My extraversion and enthusiasm are particularly low and I have come to think of it as that I don't really love people as much as I would like to think I do. It makes me feel bad. And on the other hand a part of me feels that I very much do love them, the compassion score might reflect that. The ones who I do let close soon discover my deep warmth for them and my closest tell me it is like a flood. This is how I feel inside myself - I sometimes want to flood people with my warmth. I also work with people on a daily basis and have a lot of interest in the human mind. I sometimes feel like my compassion is very detached though, despite my work involving helping others directly. Additionally, I think I treat people like books - extremely interesting books to look into but not make friends with. It confuses people around me a lot, especially new ones. I can cheerily introduce myself to someone only to ask a few very enthusiastic questions, make them feel like they are indeed very interesting to me, and then disappear and never care for having them as friends. I have been feeling really guilty about this an this is the bit I'm not sure how to approach. I do this to friends as well. I wish them all the best with all my heart and help out whenever I am able, but I don't want to be around them so much. There are very few people with whom I find communicating continually engaging. Also, the extreme agreeableness score: I am able to look at things from very many angles and if needed look at a situation from the standpoint of everyone involved and this makes it very difficult to express my true opinion, which I, despite understanding everyone, still do have. In my head I am quite opinionated, have very clear views but struggle to say them out loud. What is the best way to learn to do it more/better? My gratitude to anyone who cares to share any thoughts.

I wish you a speedy and complete recovery Jordan Peterson. Thank you for your help and all the best to you.

Fascinating field of study. A test of this nature could prove invaluble in my industry where understanding a client's mindset and personality is essential.

I like that I understood myself enough that I was within a few points on all the traits and sub traits in my prediction of who I am. The only one that surprised me a little was politeness. I predicted a 5, the test gave me a 10. I think my internal perception sometimes does not take into account my yielding to BS for the sake of compassion. Because not only do you know when you are blatantly not telling the truth, so do I. It takes every fiber of my being not to punish you for it.

I did the test, there were a couple of things that were highlighted which made the test worthwhile. The results of the test are most powerful when it analyses how various traits interact with one another. E.g., being less assertive, more agreeable and more compassionate will mean you are less likely to negotiate with your boss at work so you will end up with a lower salary. Highlighting all of the various combinations like this would be really valuable. One criticism I have however was the lack of detail in the questions which tended to make the test confusing. There were a lot of times I thought "the answer to that question really depends on X or Y, if it is X then I agree, if it is Y I tend to disagree", so I would just pick the middle of the road as I was uncertain what was actually being asked. Overall it was good though, I recommend it. Even if you get a few things from the test it is enough to justify the time and expenditure. Knowing what your strengths and flaws are could help change your life.

I always figured I'd be high in conscientiousness, because hey, that sounds great right? But my results say I'm quite low. Upon reading the blurb about it, I realised that actually, yeah, I do suck at sticking to plans. Heck, I'm constantly moaning about how I'm tired, but here I am at 2AM doing this test. I have been meaning to send a package to a friend for the last week, but keep putting it off. And when it said that people low in conscientiousness and highly intelligent are likely to be seen as underachievers, I immediately attributed that to myself. I love my job, and I'm very good at it (VFX, a technical and creative field), but I have often wondered whether I could've studied something else, something that really stretched my brain more. And in high school, I found many things easy, until senior years where I couldn't be bothered studying for a subject I didn't have any interest in. But I know if held at gunpoint, I would be able to pick things up easily. I wish I could go back to 16 year old me, slap myself in the face, and tell myself to work harder! Oh well, I have spent a bunch of money on a student loan, and I am excelling at my job. From here I think I need to force myself to set aside time to learn the more technical aspects of my work. Also, seeing it tell me that I am highly extraverted was surprising, but somehow actually makes sense. Very insightful. There is a lot more information provided to you in this personality test, compared with the free ones online. I recommend it. I love how it didn't hold back in telling me that I'm likely a bit of a slacker (in regards to conscientiousness), instead of sugar coating it. I will look to improve myself. I will start by going to bed now...

Dr Peterson keeps raising the bar and I pray his intellectual and personal goals are acknowledged. He is providing a program that anyone who wants personal awareness of ‘the self ‘ is easily available and at a very minimum cost. The program should be applied in high schools and repeated when in further education to measure growth, or just for the hell of it, to be aware of yourself. I am amazed at Dr Peterson’s quest to inform, educate, and influence with tools for a better society. He’s goal in my opinion is very benevolent even if it is taxing for him. I support his quest “to make a difference” and contribute at great efforts to help ourselves with what he is offering, a great opportunity for growth.

I did the test and I was surprised by some of the result but after some reflection it was pretty accurate. I think the aphorism "Know thyself" is appropriate. Thanks Dr.Peterson ! Here are my scores: Agreeableness - 17 Compassion - 55 Politeness - 3 Conscientiousness - 45 Industriousness - 73 Orderliness - 20 Extraversion - 80 Enthusiasm - 75 Assertiveness - 77 Neuroticism - 36 Withdrawal - 36 Volatility - 38 Openness to Experience- 98 Intellect - 96 Openness - 96
