Fun personality quiz

Here's another one of those fun surveys that can nail your personality pretty well, at least based on what I've seen on Missy and Kim's blogs. Check it out if you're interested.

General Description
As a Harmonizer, you excel at promoting harmony and cooperation within a family.Your natural instincts are to help and support others in carrying out tasks and building cooperation in the process.

Typical Areas of Strength
Harmonizers, like you, foster a cooperative atmosphere by seeking ways to help, carrying out duties, completing tasks, and encouraging others in practical, tangible ways. You relate well to others and excel as mediators and at conveying care and compassion.

Typical Areas of Struggle
You may sometimes compromise principles or convictions in order to maintain harmony or preserve a relationship. You have a tendency to vacillate, resist change, or be too naive or passive in certain situations.

Your Preferred Activities
Because you demonstrate superior people skills, you are well suited to promote interaction with individuals or small groups of people that need your help.

You communicate by being a good listener, offering helpful words of encouragement, and performing thoughtful acts of kindness.

Pretty darn accurate...

If you need an idea for a post, do these surveys and post the badge to your blog. It's super interesting!

Here's my description:
"The Dreamer" -

INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginitive, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal.

That all sounds nice, doesn't it? However, delving more thoroughly into this, I found many more traits listed fitting my personality style according to this test that are also accurate and not always so complimentary.

• Adaptable
• Relaxed
• Disorganized
• Care-free
• Spontaneous
• Procrastinates
• Dislikes routine
• Flexible
• Decides with heart
• Dislikes conflict
• Passionate
• Driven by emotion
• Gentle
• Easily hurt
• Empathetic
• Caring of others

Boooo... I'll just go back to my imaginary world and ignore that for now. :-) When I checked out the people/characters I'm supposedly similar to, I cracked up. These are a few of those listed which happen to be favorites of mine, so that was fun: John-Jesus' disciple, James Herriott, J.R.R. Tolkien, James Taylor, Laura Ingalls Wilder (Abi would be proud), Anne of Green Gables, and Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. ha!

Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS:  Others see you as someone they should "handle with
care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely
dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like
you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply
involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile,
rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make
decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold
and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who
takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your
company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming,
amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's
constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-
balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind,
considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up
and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful &
practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest.
Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone
who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the
same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it
takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that
it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.
They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady
plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something
impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine
everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide
against it They think this reaction is caused partly by your
careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,
someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to
make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone
or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems
that don't exist. Some people think you're boring.  Only those who
know you well know that you aren't.
