Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately organized, hard working, and reliable while still remaining flexible, efficient, and fun.

Extraversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.

Most of these seem accurate, but the terms and questions were kind of ambiguous. Mainly I disagree with "hedonism" only being 10%—I'm guessing this is from the three or four questions about alcohol and smoking, which is a rather restrictive interpretation of hedonism. Also I don't see how "mystical" ended up as high as 16%; it should be 0! And I'm definitely more self-absorbed than 30%, this post being just one example.
