Is it me, or is Influence a dump-stat for us? I've seen it bottom-level rather consistently.

We're not politicians. Thankfully.

Ooh, personality quiz central!

It's quite probably a dump category for introverted folks, which I know from previous quizzes constitutes most of the quiz-taking population of Bay12.

Indeed. Bay 12 is particularly a magnet for INTJs, who make up a little over 1% of the general population, but make up 30% of Bay 12. Introverts in general make up 50% of the general population, and 82.4% of Bay 12. We also had zero ESTJs, ESTPs, and ESFPs in the original Shit let's be Myers-Briggs poll. Apparently Dwarf Fortress and Extroverted Sensors don't get along.

Introverts are better climbers, so they have a much easier time crawling their way up the Difficulty Precipice.

I don't know about this one.  It's one of those personality tests where each metric has components which could describe me correctly, especially in the right context.  The whole thing feels... mushy.

It doesn't help that I have my own, very passive form of dominance/influence.  People tend to see me as a push-over when they first meet me, but will give up on that opinion after a few years.  I don't engage in pointless conflict and am very soft-spoken, but also very good at recognizing when people are in a receptive state and very good at presenting my own point of view.  I will often concede a disagreement for the moment, for the sake of avoiding damage to potential future receptiveness, and bring it up again when the time is right.  I'm very patient and persistent.  My wife is seen as an incredibly aggressive, domineering personality, but she has changed much, much more than I have in the course of our relationship.  If there is any point of susceptibility to reason, then I'm the person who will eventually find it.  I think this is one of my biggest points of contention with authority figures, too, because my style of relating to people doesn't really work in a relationship balanced on binary switch between obedience and conflict.

Anyway, I have no idea how that's supposed to fit into this thing's form of measurement.

Because compliance is for wusses.

You would think low compliance equals high dominance, but apparently, they are not polar opposites.

Errm.
So I have latent wussiness? O_o

Also I did the test twice with gender difference (ie picked Male, then Female) to wonder on why this even matters.

MINOR DEVIATION! MINOR DEVIATION! D:<
No deviation based on gender at all. Woo!

...Also I believe this test was placed in a Western culture standpoint? I was unsure (picked college) despite me being in a university..given that I'm studying in a university...
Um.

[Vector]

Well then >_>

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Well then >_>

See! I knew you had an aggressively assertive maniac inside you somewhere.

[Tiruin]

...You can fill it in and get results without stating age and gender?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It's unsecure enough that you can relabel all the fields through the URL, and you think it requires you to state sex and age?

It does say they're optional.

You act in an assertive, diplomatic way and strive for a stable, ordered life.
You are goal orientated but tend to avoid risk taking.
You handle pressure well - you push yourself and expect others to do the same.

>>assertive
>>handle pressure well

lololololololol

Spoiler: This is much more accurate. (click to show/hide)

I do "push myself" and "expect others to do the same", if by "expect others" you mean "question why others are not as hard on themselves as I am on myself" then yes. I'm surprised dominance isn't higher for me, considering it seems to be the main trait of "self-sufficient goal orientated people who want to be recognized for their efforts."

...That does sound like Vector, actually, from what I know about some person on the internet who I never met in meat space and commune with purely through digital text media that can't even display sarcasm accurately.

You are a clear thinker. You have an inner need to be objective and analytical. You like to pursue a definite course of action. You respond to logic rather than emotion. You are likely to be particularly good at handling challenging technical assignments. You have a strong inner motivation to attain personal goals. You like to become 'the expert' in your chosen field.

There were several questions where all of them were strong traits, or none were, and nothing stood out. Also, High Steadiness was expected... but I would have thought a bit less dominance, and a bit more influence. Shoe fits, though!

That would explain that a bit (I'm the only major influence? Really???). I took the Myers-Briggs finally and got ENFJ, Extravert(33%)  iNtuitive(50%)  Feeling(12%)  Judging(1%)
