I threw 20p worth of poetry in (only about 4k words; i'll have to add 2k more from somewhere) and this is what I got (I have bolded the particularly hilarious bits):

    You are a bit compulsive.

    You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. You are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.

    You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of self-expression.

    You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them. You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

Here is almost 9k words of poems. Almost everything is the same. FWIW they are not mostly the same poems.

    You are a bit inconsiderate.

    You are laid-back: you appreciate a relaxed pace in life. You are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.

    You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of self-expression.

    You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You value independence a bit more: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them.

I find it interesting I don't score about a 74% in any category in this one. And in the above I think I don't go above 86.
