    Personality Type and Martial Arts

    Hey I'm just curious if there is a trend for certain personality types to be attracted to certain types of martial arts. It also might be an opportunity for people posting on this forum to understand each other a bit better. So if you're bored at work or have some time to kill take the test here:

    http://www.personal.psu.edu/~j5j/IPIP/ipipneo120.htm

    and post your 5 main domain scores (we don't want all the gory details of your ****ed up personality) and the style/styles that you currently do.

    I'll go first:

    I practice Chen Taiji and these are my scores:

    EXTRAVERSION...............14

    AGREEABLENESS..............43

    CONSCIENTIOUSNESS..........22

    NEUROTICISM................37

    OPENNESS TO EXPERIENCE.....93

    Enjoy!

    Extraversion - 47
    Agreeableness - 75
    Conscientiousness - 58 (I should note that this is a product of my orderliness score, which was a 1. My desk at work is a disaster area, I leave a trail of clothes through the house, etc. "Achievement" related sub-dimensions were all in the high ranges - 97% for self-efficacy, etc.).
    Neuroticism - 8
    Openness to experience 90

    Style: BJJ (for the most part)
