Personality? Absent...

Quote of the moment:

Strategists
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Summary of Strategists
Quiet, easy-going and intellectually curious
Use logical, objective thinking to find original solutions to problems
Think of themselves as bright, logical and individualistic
May forget practical issues, such as paying bills or doing the shopping
More about Strategists
Strategists are quiet people who like to get to the heart of tough problems on their own and come up with innovative solutions. They analyse situations with a sceptical eye and develop ways of measuring everything, including themselves.
Strategists are the group most likely to say they are unhappy in their job, according to a UK survey.
Strategists are generally easy-going. They are intellectually curious and enjoy abstract ideas. Sometimes they like thinking of a solution to a problem more than taking practical steps to solve it.
In situations where they can't use their talents, are unappreciated, or not taken seriously, Strategists may become negatively critical or sarcastic. Under extreme stress, Strategists could be prone to inappropriate, tearful or angry outbursts.
Strategists may be insensitive to the emotional needs of others or how their behaviour impacts the people around them.
Strategist Careers

Strategists are often drawn to technical or scientific careers, where specialist knowledge is required. They also seem to enjoy jobs that involve long-term planning, abstract thinking or design.

That's me, apparently... seems to fit quite well!

"May forget practical issues..." such as coursework deadlines? Hmmm? My bad...

"Sometimes they like thinking of a solution to a problem more than taking practical steps to solve it." Uhuh, sounds familar... hence je deteste le pure maths...

"...Strategists may become negatively critical or sarcastic." I think that applies too... Sozzles...

Go here to find your personality type(if you didn't watch the programme on Thursday).

The canal trip opus wasn't saved in full form, so it'll be up when I cba, having finally worked out how to post again (because I'm on the school site, my directory root thing for saving has been changed from U6 to U604). Rob can convert that into sense, perhaps :D

G'night!

Ummmm... Apparently, I'm a counsellor.

Summary of Counsellors:- Search for meaning in their life and develop powerful insights
- Are dedicated to helping others reach their potential
- Think of themselves as gentle, peaceable and cautious
- Others may find it difficult to get to know them

I dunno, is that correct? I don't think myself as gentle, peacable... Mebbe cautious. Hmmm... Iuo, what d'you say Will? Am I a counsellor?

HAHAHAHA... This is TRES true though, "Under extreme stress, Counsellors may feel overwhelmed and be driven to organise small parts of their lives such as their kitchen cabinets or their record collection." And I guess this is true too, "Counsellors typically prefer a few close relationships to a wide circle of friends."

And APPARENTLY, "Counsellors are often drawn to jobs where they can help people develop emotionally, intellectually or spiritually and where they can use their imagination." Well, I guess that CAN fit in with being a doc. Can it?

Prefer hands-on learning to reading a book

More about Performers

For the Performers, people and the exciting world around them come before rules and routines. This group believes you can get work done efficiently and have fun at the same time. Others are naturally drawn to the Performers' outgoing nature and enjoyment of life.

Performers are good at reading people and figuring out what their needs are. They don't believe in making plans and are confident that they can handle whatever comes their way. These skills allow Performers to quickly motivate others.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Performers may become distracted, fail to accept or meet deadlines, or take criticism too personally. Under extreme stress, Performers can be overwhelmed by thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong.

Performers may live for the moment and forget the consequences of their actions.

Performer Careers

Performers are drawn to careers that require people skills and attention to detail.
