My personality pattern.
I’ve taken several personality/character/gifts tests lately. Over time, as we live life… our personalities change… so, it’s been interesting to see those changes. Here’s one I took today from Psych Central and how I scored:
Top 10 Traits
Centered
You often feel balanced and on top of things, even when those around you are freaking out. You’re in a pretty good state all the time, and not subject to drastic mood swings.
You don’t usually react before you think; you’re not ruled by your emotions.
Prudent
You look before you leap, think before you act, consider what you’re about to say before you open your mouth to speak; that’s why you rarely have to eat your words.
You usually don’t get excited easily or blurt out the first thing that comes to mind without considering the consequences.
Unflappable
You are not a slave to your emotions. It takes a lot to upset or unnerve you. That’s why you’re a good person to have around in a crisis.
You don’t let it all hang out, which means that those around you often don’t know the pressures you’re under or what you’re going through. You’re not the kind of person people run from in a crisis.
Upbeat
You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a “live and let live” attitude; because you know that no one’s perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.
You don’t feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.
Introspective
You like your own company; you’re a very interesting person. Tracking your own mental processes, knowing what you’re thinking and why you do what you do, is important to you. Often, what’s going on in your mind is more compelling than what’s going on outside. For the most part, those with a high score on the “introspective” trait enjoy reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary activities.
You are not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; you never feel bored when you are by yourself.
Pragmatic
You have found that people with sad stories are usually looking for attention or have brought their problems upon themselves. Therefore, you don’t obsess about what others are thinking or feeling; if they have something important to tell you, you figure, they’ll just come out and say it.
You do not feel the need to always know what people around you are thinking and feeling, and you don’t encourage them to turn to you when they have problems.
Loose
You feel that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn’t have enough to do. Schedules and “to do” lists feel stifling; you thrive on a sense that anything goes, and know that the world won’t end if you don’t clean up after finishing a job.
You don’t need to know that everything is in its place; it is not empowering to you to feel that the world around you is neat and organized. Mowing down every item on your “to do” list, every day, does not bring you joy.
Critical
You have high standards, and aren’t shy about it. Some may feel that you are cruel, but “the truth hurts,” and you’re just the messenger.
You do not hesitate to offer criticism when it is deserved, and you don’t necessarily want to hear anyone’s excuses for not living up to your standards.
Realistic
You get done what you need to get done without pondering “hidden meanings” or feeling compelled to figure out how everything works; you’re happy taking things as they are, dealing with them, and moving on.
You’re not obsessed with getting to the bottom of everything. For instance, as long as you know what someone did you don’t necessarily need to know why they did it.
Accessible
You’re comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn’t like what they see it’s not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the “accessible” trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.
You don’t see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.
Just for the record… contrary to what that last trait says, I don’t like rap/hip-hop music.
