Inner Self Test
Thanks to sweetstar1974 for bringing Moonriddengirl’s entry to my attention in which she mentioned this self test:Inner Self Test. I’m suspicious of these suckers, but it never stops me from trying one out!
Chairman. By completing the list of questions, you have indicated the aspects of your personality which, in your opinion, are applicable to you. When the results are compared with the current knowledge in psychology on the typology of personality, you are given the following picture. The combination of the different aspects of your personality correspond with the “chairman” personality type. This type is flexible and decisive, especially in practical situations. They are also defenders of the “tried and tested”, possibly owing their trustworthiness to their flexibility. In most circumstances he or she will be in a position of trust.
You indicate that you are rather introverted. This means that you prefer to expend your energy on your own world of ideas, emotions and impressions. You feel at ease in your own familiar surroundings. You want to keep the number of relationships with others fairly limited and manageable, while demanding some depth in those relationships.
The way you answered the questions shows that you think of yourself as a moderately realistic person, having a mild preference for gathering information through what the five senses can detect. For the rest, you let your intuition play a very modest role. This is the information from which you construct a picture of the situation you are in at any given time. The past plays an important role, and you would often prefer to refer to previous experience than speculate. You would rather not speculate. Facts seem to be more important for you. You indicate that you have a preference for keeping both feet on the ground, rather than walking with your head in the clouds.
As far as the way you make decisions is concerned, it cannot be said that you are either extremely thoughtful or impulsive. It can occur that you organise and structure information in such a way that a decision can be taken based on your personal values and norms. However, at other times there are clear signs of thoughtfulness in your decision making. This means that you sometimes make decisions almost without thinking, and at other times consider things at length. This may be interpreted by other people as indecision, whereas you are busy searching for the right composition for the decision. Your approach to certain things is not always equally clear. Sometimes things are viewed subjectively, and sometimes objectively. You sometimes approach problem areas with your emotions and sometimes with a cool analytical approach. The way you choose to make a decision usually depends on the situation at the moment the decision is taken and also your mood at the time.
An important component of the personality is reflected in the life style a person adopts. The life style you have chosen suggests that you have a rather strong preference for leading a planned, organised life. The fact that things are fixed in place gives you a good feeling. You usually plan ahead, preferring to keep your surroundings as stable as possible. The feeling that you have insufficient time to keep your life in order will not be strange to you. It can also be supposed that you are inflexible, usually unwilling to make compromises, and avoid experimentation. That would always carry the risk of losing some control over your life. You like to finish what you start and have your affairs in order. You would like to reduce the risk of surprises to “zero”.
Please remember that this Personal Profile is purely based on the answers you gave to the previous test. This personal information is processed only once. It is not stored by Inner Self nor passed to any third-party. It’s for your eyes only.
We are amused.
