Okay - this seems a little sadistic

You pick 5-6 adjectives to describe yourself - and your choices are saved in a database. Then you email your friends - and they pick the adjectives that they feel best describes you. Then some algorithm kicks in which measures something called 'personality awareness'. And it's all totally anonymous, so there's no opportunity for righteous wrathful retribution if anyone picks any adjectives they shouldn't pick! What the hell!?

It's like they picked the least offensive adjectives they could come up with. Even the "negative" ones aren't insulting.

It doesn't seem very accurate, tho'. I mean, it's not like we all perceive situations the same way.

Yes they definitely wussed out on the adjective list. Where are 'cunning','manipulative','Machiavellan','duplicitous','carnal','vainglorious', and 'psychotic'? Even the positive descriptors seem a bit tame. No 'brilliant','captivating','engaging', 'alluring', 'wild'.

Although ya know - if any of my friends described me as 'sensible' and I found out who it was - I'd have to kill them on general principles.
