How much do you trust 2-minute internet tests?

After seeing this on Ruth's blog, I decided to give it a shot.
Your Five Factor Personality Profile
Extroversion:
You have medium extroversion.You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party.Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences.But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time."
Conscientiousness:
You have high conscientiousness.Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life.Most things in your life are organized and planned well.But you borderline on being a total perfectionist.
Agreeableness:
You have medium agreeableness.You're generally a friendly and trusting person.But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism.You get along well with others, as long as they play fair.
Neuroticism:
You have high neuroticism.It's easy for you to feel shaken, worried, or depressed.You often worry, and your worries prevent you from living life fully.You tend to be emotionally reactive and moody. Your either flying very high or feeling very low.
Openness to experience:
Your openness to new experiences is low.You're a pretty conservative person, and you favor what's socially acceptable.You think that change for novelty's sake is a very bad idea.While some may see this as boring, many see you as dependable and wise.


Note: I tried this again, after feeling like it wasn't quite right, and openess to experience and conscientiousness changed to medium, while the others stayed the same. You decide which is more accurate.

In other news, I'm teaching 200 classes this month (usually we teach between 130 and 150), and I just finished reading David Copperfield last night. I really enjoyed David Copperfield- while I was impressed at the Illustrated Classic (roughly 100 small pages, half of them pictures) version's ability to get all the main points of the story, and even a few good quotes, finally reading the full version was really satisfying. Now with the Brothers Karamazov, that makes 2 classics in almost 6 months- time to pick up the pace.
Lastly, I saw this great Korean band called the Rock Tigers a few weeks ago, when my coworker Scott's band opened for them. They're a Korean rockabilly band (think punk mixed with Chuck Berry), and they're awesome- especially their hair. Pictures are on their myspace site (www.myspace.com/therocktigers) but you have to login with a Myspace ID to see them, so if you're holding out from myspace like I am, you'll have to take my word for it.
