[livejournal.com profile] darksylvia did this a while back, and I always meant to go and take the test myself. Finally did.

My personality type: the dreamy idealist

Seriously? Dreamy Idealist? I guess.


Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto "the genius controls the chaos" - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.


In other news, um... ::cough:: Go read this, including the comments: Brenda's Sticky Nightmare
Yeah, I don't get it either, but there it is. ::insert witchy cackling::

BTW, did you realize that if someone reads your posts in their LJ inbox (meaning they get notifications whenever you post) or they go directly to your post via a link, they never see whatever text you used for your LJ-cut? So, like, if your LJ-cut text includes important information that isn't otherwise included in your post, that person will never see it. (That person would be me, since I have a notification set up for anyone important to me and read all new messages in my LJ inbox. Maybe I should stop doing that.)

But did you notice my little shout-out to you and your adventures today in it?? Did you? :-)

I really am sort of absurdly proud of myself for that... um... is that really fanfiction? 'Cause... I don't write fanfiction, you know. LOL

So did she read it yet? Prob. not or she would have commented, right? But really, I think the reason most people didn't comment is because they thought what I originally thought, which was "This is some in-joke that I'm not in on, right? How am I supposed to comment on this? I don't get it?" LOL Once I saw Larry's comment about drunken rambley parties I knew I was safe posting my bizarre 3am continuation, and then as I wrote it out it kinda grew. Then I couldn't come up with an ending, and then suddenly I did.

OMG, I wrote something, didn't I? WTH, Leah!?! What The Hell?
