Personally, I don't buy the reliability of his results or his explanation. No matter how stoic you've become through poker, it's still just one variable: money. There are so many other variables in day to day life that can affect your mood. You'd have to be mentally incapacitated in some way to be constantly shielded from so-called negative emotions.

I cited poker with this being a poker forum, but to be honest poker has been only a fraction of my life in the past 5 years and not the main focus like it used to be. There are experiences in my life, positive and negative ones, that have shaped who I am in that regard, maybe to a greater extent than the constant grind. Also readings like Fooled by Randomness.
Of course these results are to be taken lightly, as they are nowhere near scientific anyway.

I was so confused when he made that account. He knew me as iG.Loco on broodwar and obviously he saw the name was taken when he created his LP account and I'm pretty sure he had seen me posting regularly. Anyway, I'll gladly take a name change. I chose my StarCraft name when I was a kid before I was even in high school.
Btw I redid the test (I had done the test a few weeks back and didn't remember the results to post them here) and we have the exact same results for agreeableness and neuroticism. My openness to experience is at 85% which surprised me because I associated that mostly with a need for variety in life and I'm a person with a simple constant routine. But it makes sense when I think more about it, it's not a "wide" openness, it's more narrow because I'm also low in extroversion which limits my options for adventure. There were quite a few questions on art and philosophy which I'm very open to so that explains it. Honestly this test is just just way too short and repetitive though.

I liked your nickname back in iG! The reason I made mine in poker was because I was gonna play super nitty and wanted people to not give me credit. It has played to my disadvantage as time went on. Not sure if I was aware that you carried the same name to poker though, probably was hoping you wouldnt, my bad!

"His nickname is loco which means crazy in spanish... he has to be bluffing, I CALL!"
Really you guys dont think that a nickname can have any influence in some peoples decisions? Sure it shouldnt influence us pros, but on droolers I think its a given. Maybe not my nickname specifically, but just ask Spewtard, wish I came up with that one.

You know, the guy who can block out fear and stress to the point of being able to climb 3000 foot walls without a rope.
I'm not certain but I dont think daredevil activities are linked with low neuroticism
"Neuroticism is one of the Big Five higher-order personality traits in the study of psychology. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness."
Alex shows little to no amygdala activity when given stimuli that excite or disturb other individuals. The amygdala has a primary function in emotional response. So he is able to control everything even when put in impossible situations that others cannot comprehend.
There should be a high correlation between specifically his brain and a lack of neuroticism.
He also surveyed high in premeditation, his typical modus operandi, and very low in neuroticism, making him unlikely to ruminate over unlikely outcomes or risks that are impossible to manage. “If you don’t have any fear to begin with,” Honnold says, “there’s a lot less to control.”
Yet he has higher than some people in this thread. I think having 0% is answering untruthfully or the sign of an improperly functioning brain in some way.

the test is ridiculously short that will give bad results, I wonder if its just him (Alex) in paticular of a traint in dare-devil personalities, I've known a lot of people in rallying and obv most fall in the dare-devil type but some do seem neurotic

Your score for conscientiousness was low, at 45%.
Your score for Extraversion was moderate, at 50%.
Your score for Agreeableness was moderate, at 63%.
Your score for Neuroticism was moderate, at 43%.
Wish I was a little less agreeable in life and perhaps more open.
