Based on your responses, here are some characteristics that make you unique compared to everyone else.
Enthusiast. Inquisitive, Observant, Expressive. Enthusiasts are inquisitive and curious about things and like to solve problems in a methodical and rational way. They have the ability to express their ideas and concepts to others in an easy to understand and logical manner. They are also refreshingly open-minded and love to be inspired and motivated by different ideas and theories. Investigative (84) and Aesthetic (61) Interests: An Investigative person is intellectually curious and a deep thinker that prefers to think through problems and ideas in depth before taking action. An Artistic person is in tune with their senses and has refined tastes that they apply to their creative endeavors.
Fantasy Oriented. Fantasy Oriented people are imaginative and open minded. Fantasy-oriented people have vivid imaginations, able to construct entire worlds and dream up many possibilities. They are, for this reason, also less likely to be devoted to ideas of black and white and tend to see the world through greyscale. They are able to see multiple approaches to the same problem. Fantasy is closely related to desire in that fantasy is a solution, in part, to desire. People with greater fantasy, in this way, are also prone to greater desires. Fantasy: 91.
Aesthetics Driven. Aesthetically-driven people are creative and artistic. Aesthetic people are moved by beauty in many forms. For this reason, it is important for aesthetic people to live amongst beauty and integrate it into their daily life. Aesthetic people need art, whether it be music, literature, or visual to be happy, and in the workplace, need to either be working on something creative or immersed in it. Aesthetics: 95.
Idea Minded. Idea Minded people are curious and deep thinkers. Idea minded people have a fascination with systems and complexity. For this reason, they are often drawn towards philosophical discussions of ethics and politics and questions of justice. They are deeply curious people who care about practical matters in a way that others might overlook or take for granted. They also often play devil's advocate, which they do not from a place of wanting to be annoying, but for pushing other people's thinking in pursuit of a greater truth. Ideas: 96.
Values Oriented. Values Oriented people are philosophical and intellectual. Values-oriented people are fascinated with meaning and existence, however, and for that reason are unlikely to subscribe to a single dogma that answers life's universal questions. They care to understand people's desires and motivations as well as unearth broader truths to some of life's deeper questions, all-the-while being openly skeptical of any answer. Values-orientation: 99.
Altruistic. Altruistic people are generous and empathetic. Altruistic people are good natured, and have a general concern for others and their feelings. They have a gift for making others around them feel at ease. Altruism: 90.
Well Tempered. Well Tempered people are flexible and adaptable. Well-tempered people are the forgive and forget type. They don't make enemies or hold grudges. They instinctively moderate their behavior to comply with their surroundings, which makes them adaptable to many situations and generally liked by people. However, this well-temperedness can be inadvertently taken advantage of when surrounded with less well-tempered people who might drown others out. Compliance: 95.
Modest. Modest people are humble and unassuming. Modest people do not want to the center of attention. Generally speaking, they see people as equals, neither thinking of themselves as better than others or others as better than themselves. While modesty is a well-respected quality in people, in the workplace it can be perceived as incompetence. It is important for modest people to work in environments that monitor and reward real output instead of self endorsement or politics. Modesty: 99.
Tender Minded. Tender Minded people are compassionate and sensitive. Tender-minded people are what people would call a softy. They are empathetic and can easily put themselves in other people's shoes. They care for the wellbeing of others. Even when people wrong them, they seek to understand the other person's point of view. They are good listeners and feel genuine concern for all people, whether they are close to them or not. Tender-mindedness: 87.
Deliberate. Deliberate people are rational and methodical. Deliberate people are planners. They think their decisions through. They do not act on a whim - instead choosing to methodically think about what they say yes or no to. While deliberation is generally a healthy trait, it can be well balanced with a bit of impulsivity. Sometimes decisions cannot be fully thought through due to imperfect information, and instead of trusting their gut, a deliberate person might over rely on rationalism or grasp at data points that are not truly there to help in their decision making. Deliberation: 99.
Maximizing. Maximizing people are optimizing and uncompromising.Maximizing people want the best. They are not happy to settle for something good enough when there may have been something better. They are often perfectionists and are unable to complete a task unless it is to the best of their ability. Decisions or purchases, no matter how small, demand a lot of attention and research from them - and they often think the grass is greener on the other side regardless of what decisions they make. Research shows that maximizers often struggle with what is called the "paradox of choice." That is, they are often stunted by the volume of choices available to them, and are actually served better by making quick, suboptimal decisions sometimes. Optimization: 94.
Empathetic Dreamer. An Empathetic Dreamer is someone who scores highly in empathy and fantasy. Empathetic dreamers tend to be moral relativists (vs. absolutists). They are very flexible in their thinking and can see how different paths in life have merit and value. For this reason, however, they are also liable to make excuses for other's flaws instead of holding them responsible. In extreme cases, they might actually celebrate such flaws inadvertently, finding virtue where there is none. In these cases, the empathetic dreamer will be aided by holding others to the same standard they hold themselves. Empathy: 92. Fantasy: 91.
