64. SMS on Personality Traits

A month ago I received an SMS from my cousin with following instruction:
Psychological test - Complete this word: K I _ _. I'll then tell u wot is ur dominant personality.
I don't mind participating in such tests, if I know for sure that there is some scientific reasoning behind it. With SMS forwards, one can't be sure. Thus, in such situations, I tend to flummox the sender by reverting with an improbable word, such as KILN. It did work this time. The word KILN was not listed in her answer key!

Her answer key went like this:
KILL: Aggressive
KILO: Intelligent
KIND: Polite
KING: Confident
KISS: Flirty
KIDS: Possessive
KITE: Brave
KIWI: Helpful
KICK: Angry
Few weeks later, I received the same "psycological test" SMS from another cousin, but with a stern warning: Don't say KILN or any such hard word.

This time, however, I had to relent, just to be a good sport. At least I now know that my two cousins share their notes. :)
