ESFP

I was inspired by Katie's blog to go through past blogs and came across a personality profile I took about a year ago. The results were different, but I'm not surprised. Some are different probably because of change, but some because of the nature of the questions. I don't consider myself to have a black and white personality, so sometimes I'll think of myself one way and sometimes the opposite.

The Caregiver

You are sympathetic and caring, putting friends and family first.
A creature of habit, you prefer routines and have trouble with change.
You love being in groups - whether you're helping people or working on a project.
You are good at listening, laughing, and bringing out the best in people.
I'd say this is pretty accurate except for the being in groups thing. While I do enjoy groups, I find myself more comfortable in smaller settings.

In love, you value harmony and mutual understanding.
You will apologize or give someone the benefit of the doubt, if it means getting over a fight sooner. Yes, absolutely. I apologize even when I'm not sure it is warranted.

At work, you are good at building relationships and connecting with people.
You would make a great nurse, social worker, or teacher. Whew. Last time it said something about being a designer...no way!

How you see yourself: Organized, dependable, co-operative. Organized, yes. Dependable would depend on the situation--my dependability coincides with my priorities at the time. Cooperative--only sometimes. If I don't agree with what's going on I am uncooperative.

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Opinionated, critical, and know-it-all. Yes, yes, and yes.

I like this assessment of you. I think the part about being good at listening, laughing and bringing out the best in people is particularly true. I quite enjoy your laughter!
