2009 goal: Do something new.. change the worLd

[122.29] between You and I
all personalities remain the same,
all behaviour can be modified,
all different facets of the same diamond, rough or refined.

(I am fascinated by most systems of psych evaluation. The geek in me enjoys researching on methods of understanding humanity's creative spirit. This one is rather fun: quizbox.com/personality. I could agree with most of what it says about me below.)

You are down-to-earth and (up-in-space.) People like you because you are so straightforward. (I can detour too.) You are an efficient problem solver (I prefer solutions to problems) because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. (The intuitive peacemaker.)

You may not like to study but you have many ideas (a-musing.) You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart (I do empathise), so you will probably end up with an unusual job (or doing the usual job unusually.)You are (not) a practical person and will choose a secure(ly fun) job with (or without) a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is (very) important. Find a regular job doing just that and you will be set for life. Be courageous. (Huzzah!)

You have a great deal of warmth, but may not show it until you know a person well. You keep your warm side inside, like a fur-lined coat. When you are care, you care deeply, but are more likely to show your feeling by deeds rather than words. You are very faithful to duties and obligations related to things or people you care about. (I love you, Gramma! I love *you* too!)

You take a very personal approach to life, judging everything by your inner ideals and personal values. You stick to your values with passionate conviction, but can be influenced by someone you care deeply about. Although your inner loyalties and ideals govern your lives, you find these hard to talk about. Your deepest feelings are seldom expressed; your inner tenderness is masked by quiet reserve.

In everyday activities you are tolerant, open-mind, flexible, and adaptable. If one of your inner loyalties is threatened, though, you will not give an inch. You usually enjoy the present moment, and do not like to spoil it by rushing to get things done. You have little wish to impress or dominate. The people you prize the most are those who take the time to understand your values and the goals you are working toward.

You are interested mainly in the realities brought to you by your senses, both inner and outer. You are apt to enjoy fields where taste, discrimination, and a sense of beauty and proportion are important. You have a special love of nature and a sympathy with creatures. You often excel in craftsmanship and the work of your hands is usually more eloquent than words.

You are twice as good when working at a job that you believe in, since your feeling adds energy to your efforts. You see the needs of the moment and try to meet them. You want your work to contribute to something that matters to you - human understanding, happiness, or health. You want to have a purpose beyond your paycheck, no matter how big the check.

You are a perfectionist whenever you deeply care about something, and are particularly suited for work that requires both devotion and a large measure of adaptability. The problem for you is that you may feel such a contrast between your inner ideals and your actual accomplishments that you may burden yourself with a sense of inadequacy. This can be true even when you are being as effective as others. You take for granted anything you do well and are the most modest of all the types, tending to underrate and understate yourself.

It is important for you to find practical ways to express your ideals; otherwise you will keep dreaming of the impossible and accomplish very little. If you find no actions to express your ideal, you can become too sensitive and vulnerable, with dwindling confidence in life and in yourself. Actually, you have much to give and need only to find the spot where you are needed.

You are kind and open-minded. You may not be talkative, but you are friendly and enjoy the company of intelligent people. You always keep the secrets of others, and never ((: rarely) play tricks on people. You are probably an independent and strong-willed person. Fairness is important to you, and you always stand up for what you believe in. You are friendly and get along well with people. You are probably a clever and adventurous person. You love to learn new things, and enjoy socializing with friends. Although you enjoy your freedom, you cherish peacefulness and like to spend time alone with your thoughts.

You are polite, helpful and love your friends. You will do anything you can to help your friends but you don't like to be taken advantage of. You are very confident and content with your life as it is. You've got great self-confidence and you're full of charm. You are far from sweet and proper; your intriguing personality fascinates them. You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.

Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people are thinking. You will never expect to control your better half. You will take turns to make decision and the decision is often acceptable to both of you. Whatever you want to let him know, you can just tell him straightforwardly. This is a good relationship, a pretty modern one.

You love freedom and hate to be controlled. You want to walk away from all the rules and rely on your imagination to direct your life instead. When you need to re-energize yourself, you head to the beach or to the forest. You are gracious and simply say thank you when you receive a compliment, it shows that you are confident and self-assured. You respect the privacy of others, and don't like to poke your nose into anyone's business. You are sure of what your values are, and are proud of what you believe.
