Everyone has these characteristics to some degree - take the test and find out where you sit on the spectrum.

BTW: There is a question about your income level - since this is a British test you may want to know:

1 British Pound Sterling equal = 1.66 US Dollar

1. 33% - that's probably about right.

You are warm and empathic with a heightened awareness of social responsibility and a strong sense of conscience. You like to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of a situation before you act and are generally averse to taking risks. You are very much a ‘people person’ and dislike conflict. ‘Do unto others…’ are your watchwords. But, although you avoid hurting others, those residing at the higher end of the psychopathic spectrum might not be as considerate, so stay vigilant to avoid being hurt unnecessarily.

2. 39%

Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally aren’t afraid to do your own dirty work! You’re no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another person’s perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. ‘Everything in moderation – including moderation’ might sum up your approach to life.

Wonder what this guy would score?

5. Jeez! He must have good insurance.

Makes me sound quite cowardly. I'd have predicted at least a 65% score.

Fun test! Thanks for posting it!

They pretty much hit the mark with the caveat:
