My Non-cognitive sounds horrible!!!

Hey I did my UKCAT today; here's my non-cog report tell me what you think please

Mental orientation: your responses suggest a self-belief that is not as strong as that of other people and indicate that you may somewhat be more cautious than others in your approach to life and its challenges.this means that you may be less likely to go beyond your own level of knowledge and expertise, which may make you a voice of caution and a safe pair of hands

Behaviour pattern: compared to the responses of other people, your responses suggest that your style is likely to be more spontaneous and flexible. you do not appear to need or rely on strict plans and procedures. this can make you responsive and able to deal with matters as they arise. whilst this may make you particularly suited toi dealing with te unexpected, there maybe times where a little more structure and organisation would be useful.

Emotional experiences: compared to the responses of other people, your responses indicate that you are more sensitive and liable to experience a range of emotions. you may feel frustration or impatience more than most people. whilst your natural caution could help you to be suitably suspicious and shrewd, this may sometimes come across as being overcautious and defensive.

to be honest I do not think this is accurate at all. I am not as "overcautious" as it claims and I believe that I am more easy going than this suggests.

this is not good. who is gonna take me on basis of this rubbish?

Hi, I got exactly the same report for each section and I don't feel that it is accurate either!

**doc_E** · 01-09-2007, 02:29 AM

I GOT THE EXACT SAME THING TOO!!! same here...yes i might be less self-confident but i definitaly dont have a huge range of emotions etc...!!

**Hope1983** · 01-09-2007, 02:32 AM

my lord...have got the EXACT same answers in all of the sections.
pah, that's not very reliable if we all have the same answers.
bet there are 4 different standard answers. can't believe it...

If it helps- i didn't get the same one!

LOL, I think they might take you then among us!

Don't forget that being te first year that this subtest is used it probably won't count for much!

Take a look at this thread:

Non-cognitive analysis

A number of us got exactly the same results. There appear to be 2 different types of non-cog in use 1) the kind shown on the ukcat website with "Strongly Agree/Agree/Disagree/Strongly Disagree" and 2) the MEARS one (which you and I among others took) which asks you to choose one of 6 numbers between 2 extremes. The latter test seems to be broken, given that everyone receives the exact same result, no matter how much it contradicts their personalities/the answers they give.

thanks for the link. I hadn't seen that thread.
what a money making scam. they didn't even bother to write up a few different reports to look less suspicious. these are all identical!
why did I take it so seriously?! lol I thought "that's it I'm impatient, overcautious, don't take any risks and do not go beyond my expertise AND at the same time spontaneous and flexible! why would they take such a contradictory weird person?" and guess what we're all like that!! that makes me feel alot better.

**arienette** · 01-09-2007, 07:07 PM

Yeah I got exactly the same thing too - I haven't heard of anyone who got that MEARs report thing that DIDN'T get that result so I wouldn't worry about it!

Oh and like others I feel like this is the complete opposite of my real personality - especially the over-emotional, super-cautious bits
