My score on: The LONG Scientific Personality Test :

ENFJ- The Teacher
(You scored 54% I to E, 36% N to S, 47% F to T, and 26% J to P!)

Your type is known as the teacher, or the educating mentor. You also belong to the larger group, called idealists. You tend to bring out the best in other people. You lead without seeming to do so. People are naturally drawn to you. You expect the very best from people which takes the form of enthusiastic encouragement which is so charming that people try their best not to disappoint you. You share your personality type with 3% of the population. You need to feel a deep and meaningful connection to your romantic partners, and go to great lengths to understand and please your mate. Harmony is vitally important to you, and you often put others' needs before your own. You have a pretty thin skin and are easily hurt. Although you strive for harmony, when your values or ethics are violated, you can be very emotional, confrontational, and even punishing. However, you are very insightful about the underlying cause of conflicts, and an excellent communicator, so you have the tools to bring about a quick and peaceful resolution as long as you can keep control of your facilities. You want to be appreciated for your thoughtfulness and compassion. You need your partner to make a real effort to get to know you. Above all, you need to be able to express your feelings and have them taken seriously.

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for my Tribe of Superheroes. Those who are compassionate, fierce, intelligent, discerning, silly, mature, artful-minded, spiritual, brightly-lit *apply*.Not looking for the insecure, the stupid, the fearful. That was another time... another life.Also, I am looking for people who are not ego thieves -- you know, those people who can only feel good if they can somehow position themselves in a place where they feel superior to you? Sorry -- not interested. Like completely not interested in these kinds of leeches. While I might not notice them immediately, I will notice you and I will dispense with you once I notice... don't have time for it.I'd like to meet people for whom I want to have time for and make time for and for whom the same is returned. Who can find humor in what is real, who is not witty as defense mechanism, who are curious about the world they inhabit and other people inhabit... looking for people to go on adventures with, collaborate on art, be one-on-one with (indeed, one can only know me in this kind of setting...), people who are NOT NARROW (or, if they are can appreciate non-narrowness), people who prefer people to be themselves, never feel the need to attempt control over (power over --... ugh), folks who can leave their little tyrants behind because I am not interested.You wouldn't believe I love to smile and laugh real big and hug folks. But I am complete... and I would like the people I meet to be complete, too. Just works out better for everyone involved. If you aren't complete, then please be open to whatever process we are going to go through... although it would already have a strike against it, I find interest in all kinds of things, even failtures.*smiles*

My Last Blog

Made me feel sad. In the Dark Days, there needs to be less focus on dark things -- no matter how salient. Our ancestors gave us a gift. For this hemisphere, these are the darkest days of the year. Wha...
