"Keep things in their original state.

Make changes, even if only for the sake of change."

Depends if the current state suits my goals.

"I am very excited when I meet new people; I can talk to anyone about various topics.

If I am around people who I am not familiar with, I will feel a bit uncomfortable; some people consider me to be restrained and reserved."

Yes.

"My social circle is very wide. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances.

I have very close relationships with a small amount of people. I am very cautious and serious when I choose my friends."

Yes: Social circle is not the same as close relationship.

"I focus on the outer world.

I focus my attention internally. I spend lots of time on introspection."

Pardon me while I throat-punch the author of this quiz.

Forced choices of the form "Oxford coma rule! or "kittens!" are not very iluminating.

*shrug* Not in a casual quiz, no.

I could actually summon a long and detailed explanation of why they are genuinely illuminating in a properly-administered clinical personality inventory, which includes, for example, interpreting what it means when the client finds questions totally unanswerable, but honestly, I don't see what good it would do either of us.

[1] I'm not mocking your typing, I'm admiring the accidental awesomeness.

Confused kitten with the caption "But I don't know what Oxford commas is?".
