[Virtual ghost]

Solitary

Need no one but themselves. Liberated from the drive to impress and please. Remarkably free of the emotions & involvements that distract others.

Nothing new.

 

[Leysing]

Leisurely
Free to be me, happiness is what their life is all about, can find pleasure from almost any source.

Though I'm definitely "leisurely", I have to disagree. Plain happiness and pleasure is dull and boring. I need something deeper.

Vigilant 64% LESS

Idiosyncratic 39% MORE
Adventurous 23%

I have to say I doubt the accuracy of this test.

 

[Lethe]

Conscientious
(Work)

Work ethic, get the job done and done right, strong morals and values, loyal, perfectionist.

Hard work: The Conscientious person is dedicated to work, works very hard, and is capable of intense, single-minded effort.

The right thing: To be Conscientious is to be a person of conscience. These are men and women of strong moral principles and values. Opinions and beliefs onany subject are rarely held lightly. Conscientious individuals want to do the right thing.

The right way: Everything must be done "right," and the Conscientious person has a clear understanding of what that means, from the correct way to balance the checkbook, to the best strategy to achieve the boas's objectives, to how to fit every single dirty dish into the dishwasher.

Perfectionism: The Conscientious person likes all tasks and projects to be complete to the final detail, without even minor flaws.

Love of detail: Conscientious men and women take seriously all the steps of any project. No detail is too small for Conscientious consideration.

Order: Conscientious people like the appearance of orderliness and tidiness. They are good organizers, catalogers, and list makers, and they appreciate schedules and routines.

Pragmatism: Conscientious types approach the world and other people from a practical, no-nonsense point of view, They roll up their sleeves and get to workwithout much emotional expenditure.

Prudence: Thrifty, careful, and cautious in all areas of their lives, Conscientious individuals do not give in to reckless abandon or wild excess.

Accumulation: A "pack rat," the Conscientious person saves and collects things (storing them in orderly bundles), reluctant to discard anything that has, formerly had, or someday may have value for him or her.

[01011010]

Vigilant, Solitary

I think the person that created this test had an ironic sense of humor.

 

[01011010]

Vigilant/Solitary

Strange test, actually.

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

I re-took.. I've talked about my bad self-confidence, which is kind of contradictory considering many things I'm really good at. Another test finds my self-confidence very low.

ENTP shouldn't have it that way

So.. Solitary, Vigilant, Leisurely.

Edit: the first 2 seem to describe a confident person. The 2 descriptions *really* describe me. But.. why doesn't it translate to perceived confidence? Why do I do all the things confidently (or with indifference) without feeling confident? Well, it's just this test.

 

[nolla]

I always get the short straw. This has to be the most useless combination:

Leisurely 61%

Devoted 39%
Mercurial 38%

...have to admit it fits, though...

 

[SillySapienne]

Leisurely

Free to be me, happiness is what their life is all about, can find pleasure from almost any source.​

Inalienable rights: Leisurely men and women believe in the right to enjoy themselves on their own terms in their own time. They value and protect their comfort,their free time, and their individual pursuit of happiness.

Enough is enough: They agree to play by the rules. They deliver what is expected of them and no more. They expect others to recognize and respect that limit.

The right to resist: Leisurely individuals cannot be exploited. They can comfortable resist acceding to demands that they deem unreasonable or above and beyond the call of duty.

Manana: Leisurely men and women are relaxed about time. Unlike Type-A individuals, they are not obsessed by time urgency or the demands of the clock. To these individuals, haste makes waste and unnecessary anxiety. They are easygoing and optimistic that whatever needs to get done will get done, eventually.

I'm okay: They are not overawed by authority. They accept themselves and their approach to life. They are content with their place in the universe
