YOU ARE A ______?

[HairOfTheDog]

I took this 3 minute personality test -- there are 16 possible personality types.

According to the results, I'm classified as an 'Individualistic Doer' -- it totally fits. http://www.ipersonic.com/type/ID.html

Click the "Take Test" red button at the top of the linked page if you wanna play.


So, who are you? Who, who...who, who?

[SIXFOOTERsez]

Kind of where I thought it would come out although I didn't agree with some of the individual items in the questions.

Reliable Realists are down-to-earth and responsible-minded. They are precise, reserved and demanding. Their most prominent quality is reliability and they will always make every effort to keep any promise given. Reliable Realists are more quiet and serious persons, they do not talk a lot but they are good listeners. They sometimes seem reserved and distant to outsiders although they often have a great deal of wit and esprit.

[Carsman]

Laid back doer. Pretty much right.

It does fit, based on what I know of you from your posts here, Cars.

Six's seems to fit him well too.

I've taken some on-line quizzes before where it would be pretty easy for any of the various result categories to apply to everyone. The results on this one are more specific and kinda interesting.

[Duchess]

Independent thinker who is unsociable. Unsociable!

Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities.

Adjectives that describe your type: introverted, theoretical, logical, planning, rational, independent, intellectual, self-confident, analytical, structured, dogged, witty, resolute, self-critical, visionary, inventive, independent, unsociable, reserved, nonconformist, quiet, visionary, honest, demanding, hardworking.

[HairOfTheDog]

Do you think you're sociable or unsociable, in general, Duchess?

[Duchess]

I've actually given that some thought since first reading it and the entire thing is pretty much spot on. I think maybe I do have the tendency to be unsociable. I like to entertain my friends with game day parties/pool parties/holiday gatherings but for the most part I want to be left alone.

It's a bit unnerving seeing myself presented in the results of that test.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think I'm generally unsociable too.

While I love spending time with my family and friends as much or more than most people that I know, I do it less frequently. I like alone time more than most, really don't like big group events, can't stand unannounced stop-bys, always hope that I don't run into anyone that I know at the bank or the grocery store...

Not a hermit or a crab, but far from a social butterfly.

[Duchess]

I've never minded being alone and I spend a great deal of time that way. I also pretty much work alone and I'm just fine with that as well. I don't ever have feelings of being bored or lonely but I have to say I am shocked to discover I'm unsociable.

[HairOfTheDog]

If you're shocked by that classification, you're probably not unsociable and that quiz result doesn't accurately fit you.

Or, maybe you're both sociable and unsociable, depending on circumstance.

I think you'd know if you were generally more unsociable than sociable -- I know that's true of me. I see you as someone who has a realistic perception of who you are.

[FAHQTOO]

Analytical thinker.

I agree with everything except the first sentence in the second paragraph.

[ramseycat]

I'm a sensitive doer.

Sensitive Doers are completely satisfied with a small, close circle of friends as their need for social contacts is not very marked. Here, too, they avoid conflicts - quarrels and disputes put considerable strain on them. Sensitive Doers are often very fond of animals and are very good with small children. As partner, this type is loyal and reliable and is willing to invest a lot in a relationship. Mutual respect and tolerance are very important to Sensitive Doers. Their love of pleasure makes them a pleasant companion with whom one can experience intensive moments. They like to look after their partner with attentiveness and small gifts and are very sensitive to the partner’s needs - often more than to their own. However, should they meet the wrong person, they run the risk of being taken advantage of. They are then deeply disappointed.

Adjectives that describe your type: introverted, practical, emotional, spontaneous, sensitive, peace-loving, reserved, gentle, good-natured, independent, empathetic, friendly, playful, carefree, sympathetic, relaxed, quiet, modest, pleasure-loving, loyal, obliging, caring, helpful, optimistic

I think I'm a little bothered by it because I view someone who is unsociable as the old lady/old man who hollers, YOU KIDS, GIT OFF MY LAWN and I don't really see myself that way. I often don't see myself as others do, it happened most recently here in Mock when you said something nice about my hair, I don't see that, I see Medusa.

[HairOfTheDog]

Hey, I like Medusa's wild look -- it's sorta sexy.

However, I doubt that Cars would wanna run his fingers through your hair.



HE HATES SNAKES!

I don't think of 'unsociable' as necessarily grumpy or intolerant, but rather more introverted and less proactive in seeking the company of others as a rule. It's subjective, I guess.

In any case, I have no future as an e-psychologist, but some on-line quizzes and analyses are entertaining and interesting. I think FAHQTOO's and ramsey's results fit them well, based on what I know of them.

[F.U.]

The Independent Thinker.

Independent Thinkers are analytical and witty persons. They are normally self-confident and do not let themselves get worked up by conflicts and criticism. They are very much aware of their own strengths and have no doubts about their abilities.
People of this personality type are often very successful in their career as they have both competence and purposefulness. Independent Thinkers are excellent strategists; logic, systematics and theoretical considerations are their world. They are eager for knowledge and always endeavor to expand and perfect their knowledge in any area which is interesting for them. Abstract thinking comes naturally to them; scientists and computer specialists are often of this type.

Independent Thinkers are specialists in their area. The development of their ideas and visions is important to them; they love being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because they often find it a strain having to make their complex trains of thought understandable to other people. Independent Thinkers cannot stand routine. Once they consider an idea to be good it is difficult to make them give it up; they pursue the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.

Independent Thinkers are not the type who easily comes out of his shell. Speaking about their emotional life is also not one of their strong points. Anyway, social relationships are not particularly important to them; they are happy with just a few, close friends who find it easy to share their intellectual world. They find it difficult to establish new ties. In love, they need a lot of space and independence but this does not mean that their partner is not important to them. Independent Thinkers often make a cool and reserved impression on others; but this impression is deceptive: they can hardly bear it if people close to them should reject them. They prefer a harmonious, balanced relationship with a partner who shares their interests and with whom they can realize their visions.







I really had a hard time deciding what answers were right for me because there were answers on both sides of every option that were me [ about a 50-50 split]. I found that there really was no direct, yes that is me type choice. So in the end it was a game of eeny meeny miny moe. I felt the test would have ben more accurate had each question be asked in a yes or no format. Then calculated off those answers.
Then again, I may be over thinking the whole thing. hahahaha

Are you referring to the Pope, who goes out on his balcony overlooking his followers, waving his hand, saying: hey you idiots get off my lawn!

(Blasphemy)

[FAHQTOO]

I'm perfectly fine being unsociable.

I have a select group of true friends, my family and you crazy fuckers in here. I'm fine with that and that's all I need.

The less idiots/stupid people I run into IRL, the better.

[Midwest Spy]

The less idiots/stupid people I run into IRL, the better.

I feel like this too ^.

[sally]

I'm the same as Hot D, except she's always flapping her big fucking gums.

Individualistic Doers are self-assured and very independent people. They are quiet and realistic, very rational, extremely matter of fact people. They strongly cultivate their individualism and enjoy applying their abilities to new tasks. But they are also very spontaneous and impulsive persons who like to follow their sudden inspirations.
Individualistic Doers are good and precise observers who register everything which goes on around them. However, they are not so sensitive as regards interpersonal relations and are surprised when they occasionally rub someone up the wrong way with their direct and blunt manner. They are not particularly fond of obligations; but if you give them space, they are uncomplicated, sociable and cheerful individuals.

Individualistic Doers enjoy challenges - action and the odd kick are simply part of their life. They love tempting fate and many people of this type have risky hobbies such as skydiving or bungee jumping. This also applies to their workday life. Individualistic Doers are in top form in critical situations; they can grasp situations, make decisions and take the necessary steps extremely quickly. Hierarchies and authorities impress them very little; if a superior is not competent, they will have little respect for him. Individualistic Doers like to take on responsibility. They have a marked sense of reality and always find the most suitable and expedient solution for a problem. They resolve conflicts openly and directly; here, they sometimes lack tact but are also very good at taking criticism themselves.

As friends, Individualistic Doers are loyal and devoted; they only have a few friendships but many of them last a lifetime. People enjoy talking to them because of their optimistic attitude to life and their ability to listen. However, they prefer to talk about mutual interests and hobbies rather than about theoretical or philosophical issues - they are not tangible enough for them. They need a lot of freedom and time to themselves in love relationships but, at the same time, they are also very tolerant towards their partners. It happens very seldom that Individualistic Doers fall head over heels in love. They are far too rational. They prefer to pick their partner on the basis of mutual interests and preferences which they want to share with that partner. Individualistic Doers are not particularly fond of effusive outbursts of emotion. They prefer to prove their love by their actions and expect the same of their partner. Whoever wishes to tie an Individualistic Doer to himself needs a lot of patience. It takes some time before this personality type is willing to get involved with another person.

Adjectives that describe your type: introverted, practical, logical, spontaneous, adventurous, resolved, independent, fearless, loyal, analytical, realistic, optimistic, interested, quiet, curious, circumspect, individualistic, action-loving, venturesome, cool, dispassionate, reserved, skillful, confident, independent, communicative, down-to-earth
