As I discussed earlier I am a sucker for social networking, I love all things myspace and facebook. What I forgo mentioning was my addiction doesn’t end there I am also a sucker for those myspace bulletins “50 questions about me” “20 questions about your number one” or “Coke vs Pepsi” and those Facebook applications that predict your compatibility with your mother’s best friend’s cousin, and whether you’ll end up married to a guy with long/short/blonde/brunette hair!
Today I added an application that was supposed to tell me my personality type and the only reason I’ve decided to draw it to your attention is that for the first time ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER it actually gave an answer that could actually be me! Well all apart from being refereed to as “He” and “Him”
It appears I am a “Spontaneous Idealist”and here is what the results showed…
The spontaneous idealist is a creative, lively and open-minded person. He is humorous and disposes of a contagious zest for life. His enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. He enjoys being together with other people and often has an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. The spontaneous idealist is a master of communication and a very amusing and gifted entertainer. Fun and variety are guaranteed when he is around. However, he is sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to his direct and sometimes critical nature.
This personality type is a keen and alert observer; he misses nothing which is going on around him. In extreme cases, he tends to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and is inwardly always ready to jump. Life for him is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, he quickly becomes bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. His creativity, his imaginativeness and his originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas – he then leaves the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, the spontaneous idealist attaches great value to his inner and outward independence and does not like accepting a subordinate role. He therefore has problems with hierarchies and authorities.
If you have a spontaneous idealist as your friend, you will never be bored; with him, you can enjoy life to the full and celebrate the best parties. At the same time, he is warm, sensitive, attentive and always willing to help. If the spontaneous idealist has just fallen in love, the sky is full of violins and his new partner is showered with attention and affection. This type then bubbles over with charm, tenderness and imagination. But, unfortunately, it soon becomes boring for him once the novelty has worn off. Boring everyday life in a partnership is not for him so that many spontaneous idealists slip from one affair into another. However, should the partner manage to keep his curiosity alive and not let routine and familiarity gain the upper hand, the spontaneous idealist can be an inspiring and loving partner.
So to summarise I’m loud, obnoxious, nosy, insensitive, OVER sensitive, bossy, never finish anything I’ve started, I hate authority BUT great when I’m in love (and not bored).
Sounds about right to me!
