according to this link, i'm a 5 sp/so/sx...
i have a really hard time deciding. the things i value are wisdom, not necessarily knowledge... though that as well. however, i don't know that i put in enough effort towards knowledge as a five would. but i do value it greatly, and when something sparks my interest, will go through great lengths to research it out. but my interest and passions are always fleeting. and i am so bad at remembering details and facts when it comes to science or history or etc.
i value peace. peace from within. i've studied buddhism and would like to learn more about hinduism. i've attempted a few meditation exercises and have done yoga... but once again, these seem to have been fleeting interest. though i do feel i gained a lot, and through studying these things have learned and grown a lot. i do have a strong desire to continue meditation with an experienced practicioner... and would love to balance out my chakras...
i also value love. passion. romance. i'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. i used to be quite depressed, extremely emotional, sad, broken... a bit of a real mess, really. but over time, and through searching for wisdom and peace, have learned to calm these aspects of self. i can no longer relate to the sad girl i once was. however, it was an intense period of my life that now seems so distant. i do, however, continue to yearn to find something that will reignite passionate and intense feelings in myself. something to connect with.
i also yearn to do good things with my life. not necessarily to be great. but a life i can be proud to have lived. i'm a doer and a helper, ultimately. i've always been attracted to careers where i'm either helping people, animals or nature. i've gone back and forth between nursing, veterinarian, psychology, environmental studies... i also majored in art and anthropology for a period. however, i ultimately decided that in the "grand scheme of things" as i had personally internalized, these career paths would have no real value or substance in a world where so much life is in need of others help. (does this make any sense? i have a hard time explaining what i mean.)
also, i do believe in the need to be strong and in control... as these things relate to the self.
so what do you guys think?? where do i seem to fit in?
