For the most part, pretty accurate. However, there are scattered inconsistencies in the outcome of the profiling, bits and pieces which aren't set in stone or aren't exactly as laid out below. But this is the problem with a few minute online profiling test. The questions leave little room for exceptions, or incorporate usually similar statements together where in truth only one of those statements are correct.
Scrupulous
You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.
You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead. (There are times where I will do what is needed to get ahead, and where the rules will bend, or break, depending on the situation.)
Calm
You rarely become irritated, generally accept people as they are, take things as they come, and feel relaxed in most situations.
You do not let a minor annoyance escalate to a confrontation. You don't regularly snap at those around you or fly off the handle with little provocation.
Introspective
You like your own company; you're a very interesting person. Tracking your own mental processes, knowing what you're thinking and why you do what you do, is important to you. Often, what's going on in your mind is more compelling than what's going on outside. For the most part, those with a high score on the "introspective" trait enjoy reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary activities.
You are not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; you never feel bored when you are by yourself. (Ironically, this is both true and false. While I am comfortable being alone, I also yearn for that close knit camaraderie of a close circle of regular friends.)
Buttoned-Down
You like to know that everything is in its place; it's somehow empowering to know that the world around you is neat and organized. For you, schedules and timelines are great ways to stay on track, and mowing down the items on your "to do" list is a source of happiness.
You do not believe that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn't have enough to do; you don't thrive on a sense of personal anarchy. (I believe there is a place for everything, even chaotic messes, though I do, for the most part, like things clean and orderly.)
Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.
You don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you're thinking about.
Solitary
You are a private person, not very comfortable in a big group, and view excessive socializing as a waste of time. (I do not view excessive socializing as a waste of time. While I will, at first, be a little discomforted in a large group, especially a group of people I don't know, if the group is familiar to me, then I am comfortable.)
You not prefer hanging out with others to spending time alone; you do not tend to feel at home in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium. (False. I do not prefer either one. Both are fun, both are acceptable, both are comfortable. It really comes down to my mood at the time.)
Cooperative
You enjoy teamwork, play well with others, and prefer getting along to winning. (Yes and no. Teamwork in paintball or overcoming an obstacle...yes. Competitive in a game or contest...yes.)
You're not compelled to win every contest nor to be right all the time. (A contest to me is about the battle to achieve combined with the fun in striving for the finish line first (or whatever the victory condition is). I will be compelled to win any contest I enter, but if I don't, it was still likely fun.)
Upbeat
You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a "live and let live" attitude; because you know that no one's perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.
You don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way. (Unless you start it...in which case I'm damned happy to end it...or at least piss you off on the way. ^.^)
Responsible
You fulfill your obligations and responsibilities, are true to your word, and generally obey the rules. While the majority of those who have a high score on the "responsible" trait enjoy traveling, they are usually very happy to return home — and don’t mind staying put for a while. (LOVE traveling, and I'll obey the rules when they make sense.)
You're opposed to making hasty decisions, you don't insist that you're above the rules, nor do you feel compelled to color outside the lines. (Above the rules...color outside the lines...depends very much on the situation. While it is true, there is always the exception.)
Organized
You like to think a task through before you embark on it. If it's the slightest bit complicated, you make a list (even if it's only in your mind) and methodically work your way through it. When you have a goal in mind, you're not satisfied until you reach it.
You are not one of those people who ignore the details, and you don't understand how anyone can get anything accomplished without thoughtful planning ahead of time.
