Lots of posts for today.. So I said I was going to explore these personality tests more… so I am…I started out by clicking the “test” link from LifeExplore… and I started with the Keirsey Temperament test.. here are my results..
Your Temperament is: Idealist (NF)
- Idealists are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom.
- Idealists pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
- Idealists tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal journeys and human potentials.
- Idealists make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders.
Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self–always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.Idealists are rare, making up no more than 8 to 10 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers.
So I’ve moved onto the Enneagram test. I thought I was a 5.. I took 3.. this one was the most detailed though.. I’m a 6 apparently…
- Primary Intelligence: Mental
- Coping Style: Reactive
- Social Style: Compliant
- Hierarchical Style: Harmony
Sixes seek harmony with the world by complying to group standards. As mental types, they are preoccupied with danger, as their minds think of one dangerous scenario after another. They seek safety through group membership, perhaps because there is safety in numbers. Being keenly aware of the possibility for danger, they can react quickly when something seems amiss. At their best, Sixes make very loyal friends.
This is my “raw score” by Triad.. it’s linked to a theory page discussing and evaluating the parts of the scores by different methods.
