The Big Five personality inventory measures personality based on 5 key traits:

1. neuroticism
2. extraversion
3. agreeableness
4. openness to experience
5. conscientiousness

Well, 3 out of 5 ain’t bad.

    3. agriculturity

    5. consciousness

    Hey Grunty, I think you mis-read the article. Those are the general things the personality test measures…it says bloggers are (1) willing to try new things and (2) the chicks are neurotic.

    I feel depressed about the article personally and want to stay inside to ruminate about it. I HATE YOU, HATE YOU AND WISH YOU WERE DEAD! Now lemme go repeatedly organize my CDs alphabetically and inflict superficial cuts on myself.
