Your type

What kind of person are you? Go to http://www.41q.com/ and take their personality test if you haven't already, then let me know. I find such things fascinating.

I'm a "dreamy idealist."

Quiet, reflective and idealistic. Interested in serving humanity. Well-developed value system, which they strive to live in accordance with. Extremely loyal. Adaptable and laid-back unless a strongly-held value is threatened. Usually talented writers. Mentally quick and able to see possibilities. Interested in understanding and helping people.

Careers that could fit you include:

Writers, artists, counselors, social workers, English teachers, fine arts teachers, child care workers, clergy, missionaries, psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, political activists, editors, education consultants, journalists, religious educators, social scientists.

Who are you?

Holly, I think so, too. I tried a free online MB test, but it came out somewhat different from my actual personality, so I don't know how accurate the Myers-Briggs test actually is.

pinkapplecore: I would love to have your personality! :) It certainly fits you, since you're a photographer, among many other things, I expect. That's such an awesome person to be. ;)

This was a lot different from other personality tests I've taken, and I'm not sure I agree, but I was:

Your personality type: "Engaged Idealist"
Popular and sensitive, with outstanding people skills. Externally focused, with real concern for how others think and feel. Usually dislike being alone. They see everything from the human angle and dislike impersonal analysis. Very effective at managing people issues and leading group discussions. Interested in serving others and probably place the needs of others over their own needs.

Teachers, consultants, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, clergy, sales representatives, human resources, managers, events coordinators, politicians, diplomats, writers, actors, designers, homemakers, musicians, religious workers.

I love how almost all of us ended up with a couple of possible careers being sort of artsy -- designers, artists, musicians, etc. ;)

Guess that says something about bloggers, huh?

Thanks for sharing, Cassandra and Danielle!
