Saffron. The description seemed at least close in many ways, although I'm pretty regimented about exercising (it's one of, if not the only, thing I'm ruthlessly schedule-driven about). It's something that I decided to do, so I set things up to make it simple and convenient, with as little thought or consideration to put into it as possible. So the part about removing barriers to exercising is true - but the whole part about being spontaneous about exercise really isn't. The whole thing about exercising alone is true - I'd never seriously consider joining a gym, for instance - I'd be much too self-conscious to be comfortable with working out with a bunch of strangers, and would quickly find reasons not to go. Doing things myself just works better.

I do wish the author had just done an "MBTI exercise" book, instead of developing a closely-related derivation with a different nomenclature. It just confused things, and the questionnaire's either-or choices tended to make me want to answer "well, both" or "well, neither" - even more so than most such questionnaires. Interesting link though, thanks Jae .
