Here's a VERY thorough online personality quiz that you might want to check out - Personal DNA.
Here's what it said about me:
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.
-
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
-
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
-
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 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 Advocating:
-
Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.
-
Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.
-
One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.
-
You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.
-
You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.
-
Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.
-
Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.
-
As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.
If you want to be different:
-
While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occasionally to put yourself first.
-
Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.
-
When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.
I thought it was pretty accurate. Maybe a little off on some things, but very interesting anyway.
