IPIP NEO-PI, Introductory Information Best estimates indicate that the 300-item version of the IPIP-NEO produces a report over 99% of the time. Computer experts have been unable to identify the software or hardware malfunctions that sometimes prevent successful scoring and feedback. Spending 30-40 minutes answering 300 questions but getting no feedback can leave you angry and frustrated. If you have problems getting results or prefer to invest less time taking the test, you can take the shorter version. Although you are not required to answer all of the items, skipping items will lower your scores. In particular, missing responses may lower the 30 facet scores dramatically. Nihilism Nihilism is also a characteristic that has been ascribed to time periods: for example, Jean Baudrillard and others have called postmodernity a nihilistic epoch,[4] and some Christian theologians and figures of religious authority have asserted that postmodernity[5] and many aspects of modernity[3] represent a rejection of theism, and that such rejection of their theistic doctrine entails nihilism. Forms of nihilism[edit] Nihilism has many definitions, and thus can describe philosophical positions that are arguably independent. [edit] Metaphysical nihilism is the philosophical theory that there might be no objects at all—that is, that there is a possible world where there are no objects at all—or at least that there might be no concrete objects at all—so that even if every possible world contains some objects, there is at least one that contains only abstract objects. Epistemological nihilism[edit] Mereological nihilism[edit] This interpretation of existence must be based on resolution.
Dealing with Confrontation Like a Gentleman ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (18) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (26) TOP Very few people enjoy confrontation. It often stresses us out and it brings out the worst in us.

Curiosity Quality related to inquisitive thinking Curiosity (from Latin cūriōsitās, from cūriōsus "careful, diligent, curious", akin to cura "care") is a quality related to inquisitive thinking such as exploration, investigation, and learning, evident in humans and animals.[1][2] Curiosity is associated with[vague] all aspects of human development, from which derives the process of learning and desire to acquire knowledge and skill.[3] The term curiosity can also denote the behavior, characteristic, or emotion of being curious, in regard to the desire to gain knowledge or information. Curiosity as a behavior and emotion is the driving force behind human development, such as developments in science, language, and industry.[4] Causes[edit] Many species display curiosity including apes, cats, and rodents.[2] It is common to human beings at all ages from infancy[5] through adulthood.[1] Research has shown that curiosity is not a fixed attribute amongst humans but rather can be nurtured and developed.[6]
D: The Dark Factor of Personality Cosmicism Literary philosophy Cosmicism is American author H. P. Cosmicism and human centric views of the universe are incompatible.[2][9] Cosmicism shares many characteristics with nihilism, though one important difference is that cosmicism tends to emphasize the insignificance of humanity and its doings, rather than summarily rejecting the possible existence of some greater purpose (or purposes); e.g., in Lovecraft's Cthulhu stories. Lovecraft's cosmicism was a result of his feeling of humanity's existential helplessness due to what he called the "infinite spaces" revealed by science, and his belief that humanity was fundamentally at the mercy of the vastness and emptiness of the cosmos.[11] In his fictional works, these ideas are often described by fantastic dream-like narratives (The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, 1927), by his well-known Cthulhu Mythos ("The Call of Cthulhu," 1928, and others), and sometimes by humor ("Herbert West–Reanimator", 1922).
