There is an article in the Living Section regarding personal chemistry.

After reading the article I decided to do the questionnaire to determine my personality type.

http://www.whatische...-fact-sheet.php

On the left hand side of the screen is a personality test. I did this test twice and twice turned out to be a "Builder". I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion of the test. I believe I'm more like a "Negotiator". There were several answers to the questions that I believe pertained to me.

What is your personality type???

[area man]

Builder.

I can agree and disagree with the assessment.

I will have to pass on the dating tips. My wife might not like it.

[jodilynn]

apparently, i'm an explorer

[harv1]

Negotiator, that's me.

[A1]

I had a tie score of 10 for both explorer and director.......not sure what that means. However, I've been all four types at different times in my life. Maybe I have MPD.

[citydweller]

Director

[twinmom]

Explorer. This was the only statement that I agree with though,



As a result, your friends, family and colleagues often regard you as highly independent and autonomous, often irreverent, and sometimes reclusive.

[Whirlwind]

Explorer 10

Negotiator 10

Director 6

Builder 5

The choices in the last question were a hodge-podge, IMO.

Interesting test.

Overwhelmingly a negotiator! Huh

[harv1]

Hey philly,

Nothing wrong with negotiator results!!

Negotiator: 16
Explorer: 7
Builder: 6
Director: 5

Your Negotiator score is 16
You are superb at handling people. You instinctively know how others are thinking and feeling. And with your excellent command of language, your graciousness, and your acute social sensitivity you can be enormously empathetic, charming and tactful.

You are also curious about people; you tend to like them and trust them. So you cast yourself in a network of social ties, then you nurture your social world.

You also take pleasure in journeying into your own thoughts and motives. And when you form a friendship with a comrade or sweetheart, you like to delve deeply into the forces that stabilize (and undermine) the partnership. You make the perfect soulmate.

You have a wonderful ability to see the many sides of a complex social and/or intellectual problem. You like to think carefully about all of the possible options before solving any issue.

You are particularly good at working in a team. You naturally include others in the decision making process. And you like to be emotionally supportive of friends, relatives and colleagues.

With your holistic, synthetic view of humankind, your lack of prejudice and your deep sense of compassion for just about everyone, you are often drawn to contribute to social causes.

And with your idealism, intuitive spirit, flexibility and imagination, you bring many natural assets to your family, friends and community.

Our scores matched, Whirlwind!

[tugrad]

Director.

I thought the discription was fairly accurate

[erstwhile]

I'm an Explorer according to this quiz. I'm normally pretty skeptical about this sort of thing, but the description of an Explorer really pegged me.

Well since you put it that way



Can we sit down and discuss this! Perhaps over a cup of coffee and Negotiate the outcome of this quiz? Maybe then we could reach a certain level of de'tente that both parties agree to?



Just jokin of course, the results surprised me, did it twice and got the same! Maybe i'm not getting as old as I thought



By the way I got a 17!
