Personality Profiles

Here's one important truth about you: you have a tender heart. Yes, you know that others need to learn to take care of themselves. Yes, you know they need to accept the consequences of their foolish or bad behavior. And sometimes, even when your instinct is to help them, you will let them fend for themselves and let them suffer the consequences of their choices or circumstances.

But most of the time you are there to help when they need you. If they are in trouble, you offer compassion and go out of your way to be helpful. If they need someone who will listen, you are trustworthy and sympathetic. And you are direct with them; when they need advice or counsel, you offer it in a straightforward, direct manner, without beating around the bush.You're also smart enough to know that you cannot take good care of others if you fail to take good care of yourself, so you listen to your own wants and needs. If you've run out of sympathetic energy, you spend time restoring yourself. If you've ignored your own pain or frustration, you find a friend who will listen well, or go into your own private healing place and give yourself permission to focus on you. But before long, you're back at it with your friends, offering a sympathetic ear and compassion on which they learn to trust, also giving straightforward advice and counsel when they ask for it. You do know how to take care of yourself, but your genuine interest is in taking care of others.

I love personality tests, all of them. Colours, Myers/Briggs, all of them and I am always fascinated but what they say. I took one last night and just kind of forgot about it. I opened it this morning and it blew me away.

As I was reading I just about fell out of my chair. Is this really me? I sure feel like it but how could it be so close to who I am. To describe me so well. Absolutely Freaky!

I read it to a friend and asked her what she thought? She shook her head and said. "Dead On".
Whats amazing is what I have done these last few days. I was scared. My kids were hurt and I was so busy that when I finally took a breather. I thought my tank was empty and caved.

I am in cave mode. Really looking inward helps me refocus and find the ZEN.

So maybe these tests help you understand yourself better.

I'll get to the negative stuff in the next blog. I just wanted to start on a positive note!
