Something Shiny!

I should mention that before I took that personality test, I thought it was basically crap. I figured the results would be well wide of the mark and wouldn’t really reflect who I am. Ahem. ::shuffles feet, looks at shoes:: As it turns out? Those personality tests are, ah, eerily accurate. Apparently I’m the way I am because I’m an ISTJ: Introverted Sensing Thinking Judging. Or, put another way, a Guardian Inspector. I’m dependable and organized. I have a keen sense of duty and tradition. I don’t like rule-breaking. I’m a perfectionist. And when things start to go wrong? I fall into a cycle of doom wherein everything is bad and nothing will ever be good again, no not ever, no not even then. John has forever joked that I’m the human version of Eeyore. Turns out? Yeah (scroll to the bottom). What’s more amusing to me is that I had John take the personality test also. He’s a Rational Inventor, meaning that he’s exactly the opposite of me. I’m supposed to “get comfortable with his ‘need’ to question authority,” while he needs to understand my adherence to rules, procedures, and tradition. We had a good laugh about this, from John’s personality description: “You will cause your partner great discomfort when you flagrantly ‘disobey the rules’ or ‘flaunt authority,’ even though that intent hadn’t even crossed your mind.” And then this, regarding gifts from from him to me: “It needs to be enough to show that they are valued highly but not so much that they feel resources are being wasted.” So, I guess opposites really do attract?
