I found a very interesting test online that maps your “personality DNA.” The graph below shows you who I am, and yours truly is amazed at how accurately it reflects my me-ness. According to its findings which cover a wide array and range of topics, I appear to be a “Generous Visionary” (I said generous, not genius). Honest, I’m not making this stuff up…

Here’s the graph (each square represents one of 13 various character traits):

Generous Visionary

Note: the top boxes, left to right, are: Very High Empathy, Very Imaginative, and Slightly High Authoritarianism (doh!)…next row down, l to r: Average Attention To Style (!), Aesthetic (of course), and, finally, (and you’re gonna love this!) Slightly Low Masculinity!!!!!!! But I am rescued by that ‘olive’ box in the lower right which reflects a Slightly Low Femininity. All this means I walk with only one limp wrist, wear clothes from Wal-Mart, Daydream a lot and carry a big stick…but apologize profusely when I have to use it.

And here’s how my Generous Side and Visionary Side break down based on my answers to the survey:

You Are A Visionary:

• Your imagination, self-assuredness and knowledge of the world combine to make you a visionary
• You have clear notions of how things could be, and the confidence to try to make them that way
• You enjoy having a routine and prefer comfort and familiarity to risk and adventure
• Not needing others’ approval to forge ahead, you are confident in your designs for the future
• Your imagination allows you to envision the world as a better place
• You are better at thinking of the big picture than you are with details, and you can see wonder in abstract things
• Style and appearance are important to you and you have a good eye for beauty
• You are somewhat rigid in your beliefs which come from both confidence and an aversion to change (?!?Me?!?)
• You are good at creating works of art in forms with which you’re familiar
• You’re not the one to force your positions on a group and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options
• You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control (Duh!)

If you want to be different:

• Appreciate the earthly, functional element of things
• Your clarity of vision sometimes prevents you from being open to new ideas. Try expanding your horizon of experiences and experimenting with novel ways of doing things Continue reading »
