I like both large group activities and one-on-one conversations sometimes. I find my degree of comfort with strangers depends on the situation. I can appear outgoing sometimes, and reserved sometimes, very in-between.

I'm only interested in one-on-one conversations and prefer in-depth involvement with others.

I draw a clear line in the sand, between who is a friend, and who is an acquaintance.

I learn better by reading and writing than by doing, and I communicate better by writing as well. I can concentrate better on reading written material, than listening to someone talk. I also remember information better, if I read it.

Which of the following sounds most like you?

I'm okay with showing enthusiasm when I'm comfortable with the people I'm talking to, or the topic I'm talking about... otherwise, I'd rather be in the background. I find my desire for quiet or action depends on how full or quiet my day has been.

I prefer not to be in the centre of the action, much prefering calm, serenity, or silence. I'm irritated by noisy circumstances and places. I can have a calming effect on groups.

I like to go straight beyond the surface and read between the lines, so to speak. I might use metaphors or symbols to explain my views. I can sometimes appear like an olympic pole vaulter with regards to the assumtions I make, and I enjoy brainstorming.

Which of the following sounds most like you?

I take pride in my common sense, and I value efficiency, practicality and cost effectiveness. I appreciate experiences things directly and seek tangible, real-world results.

I like to look for and find some new ideas and methods, but I don't set out to re-invent the wheel right off the bat. I'm careful to avoid embracing anything that seems a little too far-fetched. I move pretty quickly to see how my ideas work, and what their limitations are.

I like ingenuity for it's own sake, and am resourceful in dealing with completely new and unusual experiences. I can easily envision what I believe is needed for the future, and it may not be a solution that already exists.

I'm comfortable with a moderate amount of routine. I feel some routine provides predictability, as well as the freedom to respond to opportunities as they arise. At work, I see routine as helpful, at home, I find it confining - or vica-versa.

I enjoy complete freedom and openness to new experiences and see routines as contraints. I'm at my best when responding in the moment. I feel routine interferes with my ability to respond to unexpected opportunities.

I allow myself more than enough time to finish an activity. I work on multiple tasks easily, by starting ahead of time. I arrange my world so I don't have to deal with last-minute rushes.

I feel I'm most creative when I'm under the pressure of a deadline. I find my mind working on an assigned task, even though nothing is on paper. I need to know just how late I can start, and still make the deadline.

Which of the following sounds most like you?

I develop detailed plans for the tasks at hand. I define the subtasks of my life. I thoroughly prepare in precise ways, specifying all the steps needed to accomplish the goal.

I prefer to have detailed plans in unfamiliar situations. I'm comfortable without a plan when I'm quite sure of myself. I don't need to have all of the steps in place and planned out, in order to move ahead.

I dive into action without detailed plans. I believe a solution will emerge regardless of where I start. I like to wait and see what happens, then improvise.

When faced with a problem, for the most part are you concerned with:

What's going to work, and making that happen as quickly as possible - this doesn't require understanding every tiny little thing, just get the damn thing done and out of the way.

Understanding as much as possible about the situation, preferring to take your time comprehending all of the intricacies the problem presents - so, you dislike being pushed to make hasty decisions.

I'm more focused what other people think about it, not so much worried about the problem itself.

Not particularly fussed about the 'vibe' of the social environment.

When looking at something, such as a painting, a picture, scenery, literally anything - which sounds most like you?

I tend to search inwards and reflect upon the vivid impressions that I receive. Often, a feeling will arise that's almost as if another part of my life is being laid over what I am currently experiencing. In these moments, I feel alive - looking out at a sunset will evoke impressions of sunsets with lovers long gone - I can literally feel the heartbreak years later when this happens.. It could evoke the nostalgia of playing with my friends as a kid. I love these moments and I use them to guide my path through life.

I tend to notice the colours, the palette that's been used, the way each stroke has been lay upon the canvas. I can sometimes visualise scenery just as rich and vivid as if it were real - in my head, I can picture myself there, I can see the sun glistening off the ocean, I can feel the sand beneath my feet, I can feel the wind on my face, I can hear the waves - shit, I can see the old people walking their dog - all in my head. I want to be there, and I want to experience it.

I'm more focused on exploring the possibilities presented by what I'm observing - what I think it means, or could mean.

Which of the following resonates the most with you?

I love thinking about possibilities, exploring them and sharing them with others - sometimes new ones come to me as I vocalise my thoughts, and I enjoy bouncing my ideas off of other people - I tend to do this before I've fully fleshed the idea out. I love learning about, and experiencing new things - I'm constantly seeking knowledge. I am restless and can be so immersed in my own mind that I am practically not 'present' in the real world sometimes.

I like exploring concepts and fleshing out my insights and perspectives on things on my own. I tend not to share these insights with other people until I'm positive it's 'complete' in my head. I sometimes zone out as I focus on visualising my insights into crystal clear truths about the world.

I'm not really concerned with 'ideas', 'possibilities' or 'concepts' - I'm more realistic and prefer to just deal with life as it is, rather than drift off into that kind of fantasy land. I zone out every now and then but it doesn't exactly define my personality.
