personality test--not very accurate

Someone did this and sent it to me so I tried it out.  Not very accurate at all. But the questions were all much too vague.  Maybe I should take the "long" version (the short version was 60 questions).  I change according to the situation, and that wasn't taken into account. Oh well.  Here 'tis.
My Personality

Neuroticism

..>..>..>..>
You are introverted, reserved, and quiet with a preference for solitude and solitary activities. Your socializing tends to be restricted to a few close friends. You can be very easily upset, even by what most people consider the normal demands of living. People consider you to be extremely sensitive and emotional. A desire for tradition does not prevent you from trying new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You like to live for the moment and do what feels good now. Your work tends to be careless and disorganized.

My DESK is disorganized. My WORK is excellent.  Basically it's written like a bad/cheap horoscope so that it will apply to everyone. You're timid but can be strong, you're quiet but can be talkative, etc.
