Assess your personality.....

January 20, 2010

I ran across this website the other day, and think it's pretty neat.

Called "Personal DNA", it's a test developed by a team of psychologists, and it contains a broad variety of questions, as well as some nifty answering techniques. It's totally free, and you don't have to sign up or sign in to take the test.

There are 11 categories of questions to answer, and it will take between 10 and 15 minutes to finish. Once completed, you can access your profile immediately, and save it, or share it with friends. The option also exists to have your friends rate you, or for you to rate friends, but I haven't gone that route yet.

The test suggests I'm a Respectful Analyst, and I found it pretty accurate. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts......does it do a decent job of capturing who you are?

You can find the site here: http://www.personaldna.com/

Advocating Creator Clearly the best designation. lol

January 20, 2010

well

That's nice!

Independant analyst.

But what about all of the description that follows your designation? Do you think it's accurate for you?

For example, mine is as follows:

about you: You are an Analyst

Your attention to detail, confidence, sense of order, and focus on functionality combine to make you an ANALYST.

You are very curious about how things work, delving into the mechanics behind things.

Along those lines, how well something works is usually more important to you than what it looks like.

You find beauty and wonder mainly in concrete, functional, earthly things.

You are very aware of your own abilities, and you believe that you will find the best way of doing things.

Accordingly, problems do not intimidate you, as you believe in yourself.

You trust yourself to find solutions within the boundaries of your knowledge.

You don't spend a lot of time imagining how things could be different—you're well-grounded in the here-and-now.

It is important for you to follow a routine, and you prefer the familiar to the unknown.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

Try to embrace the imaginative, creative part of your personality more often.

Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.

how you relate to others: You are Respectful

Your reserved nature, understanding of the world, and faith in others make you RESPECTFUL.

You trust those around you to do the right thing, so you tend not to get involved in other people's affairs.

You have fewer friendships than some, but the relationships you do have are very meaningful and important to you.

Your careful and practical observation of your environment has led you to understand that others' situations can be very complex.

Because of this, you are slow to pass judgments on others, even if sometimes you can't see what it is about certain things that upsets them.

You tend to enjoy the world through ideas and reflection, which allows you to get a lot out of the time you spend alone.

Your friends would describe you as laid-back and easy-going.

As someone who is calm and centered, you aren't likely to rush into things—this patience allows you to see many different perspectives and options.

If you want to be different:

Try letting your insight into the world and trust of others allow you to understand the feelings of those around you.

While you know how much can be learned from observing your world, remember that much of life can be lived by experiencing it, not just understanding it.

You are an Animated Architect.

You are an Architect

Your preference for concrete, visually pleasing things, combined with your confidence and your respect for order make you an ARCHITECT.

You are logical and detail-oriented, which allows you to get things done efficiently.

You are quite sure of yourself, so that you tend to know the best ways of doing things.

Your eye for aesthetic beauty and style indicates that you know a lot about design.

Having a routine and sticking to it is important to you; you find comfort in tradition and familiarity.

Self-reliance is something in which you take great pride—you are confident and down to earth.

You have a basic faith in yourself in many areas of your life, allowing you to be self-assured when facing challenges.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.

Question how much you know about things by imagining different possibilities.

how you relate to others

You are Animated

You are outgoing, comfortable with others, and up for anything, which makes you ANIMATED.

Some people find crowds and parties exhausting, but not you! You are able to be yourself in many situations.

Sometimes it is hard for you to understand why others feel the way they do, but that doesn't stop you from trusting them or having faith that they are good people.

You know the world is complicated and that there is often more than one side to a story, so you are careful not to make judgments about others too hastily.

You would rather experience the world than sit back and observe it—you are not one to sit on the sidelines.

You are an independent thinker and don't get too worried about how others might perceive you—you are not self-conscious about being the active, engaged person that you are.

Although you have a keen understanding of different people's life circumstances, you occasionally have trouble seeing why people get so upset and emotional about things—they should just lighten up and have fun!

In addition to having faith in the world, you have faith in the people around you—you trust others to do the right thing and to be honest.

If you want to be different:

Remember that time alone can be just as fulfilling as time spent with others—take some time for yourself and you might find that there are many things in your inner world that are just as compelling as the world outside your window.

Your open-mindedness about the ways of world gives you an understanding of people's differences, but that knowledge doesn't always translate into sympathy. Don't be afraid to let your trust and understanding influence your feelings.

considerate leader

you are a leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

If you want to be different:

There's more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.

how you relate to others

you are considerate

You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.

You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.

You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.

Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.

Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.

Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.

You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.

Your close friends know you as a good listener.

If you want to be different:

Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!

A considerable masochist… Just kidding…

Actually I am a considerate realist.

January 20, 2010

oh my

That is you! You are so full of energy and passion!

Although you have a keen understanding of different people's life circumstances, you occasionally have trouble seeing why people get so upset and emotional about things—they should just lighten up and have fun!

Did it REALLY say that?

(or am I just gullible?)

.......you are a leader....................

........................you are considerate

Wow. A rare combo indeed.

I didn't think it possible anymore, based on the antics in almost any capital city of the world

January 21, 2010

That is not all!

According to the Test I am a "Benevolent ANALyst"

(I've always wanted to be a Benevolent Despot - but the job market is so limited and you have be related to someone in the field)

If this were a Sexual Personality Test -

I would maintain that I am also an assertive ANALyst/ORAList and a Kinky/Cuddly ol'Bear!

I would say that the test is relatively accurate as to many of my attitudes/beliefs/etc.

Thanks - When do we get to the "Lightening Round" for valuable prizes?

Benevolent Architect

(I have put those portions with which I greatly agree in bold type.)

Benevolent Architect

You are an Architect

·Your preference for concrete, visually pleasing things, combined with your confidence and your respect for order make you an ARCHITECT.

·You are logical and detail-oriented, which allows you to get things done efficiently.

·You are quite sure of yourself, so that you tend to know the best ways of doing things.

·Your eye for aesthetic beauty and style indicates that you know a lot about design.

·Having a routine and sticking to it is important to you; you find comfort in tradition and familiarity.

·Self-reliance is something in which you take great pride—you are confident and down to earth.

·You have a basic faith in yourself in many areas of your life, allowing you to be self-assured when facing challenges.

·You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

·You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.

·Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

·Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences. I knew I was supposed to be enjoying these escort experiences!

·Question how much you know about things by imagining different possibilities.

how you relate to others

You are Benevolent

·You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

·You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

·Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

·You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

·You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

·Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others. I sometimes consider myself as "wishy-washy".

·Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

·Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.

If you want to be different:

·You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself! I have been!

·Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

I used to tell my children that our home was not a democracy (when they wanted to vote on something), but a benevolent monarchy, and I was the King.
