6. Advocating Architecht
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 10:26 AM by ThomCat
Masculinity 86
Aesthetic vs Functional 64
Attention to Style 62
Empathy 58
Extroversion 58
Confidence 50
Earthy vs Imaginitive 46
Trust in Others 34
Openness 12
Spontinaity 12
Femininity 8
Agency 6
Authoritarianism 4

Reasonably accurate.

I don't agree with setting practicality and imagination against each other. I think you can be high in both. They contrast them and treat them as opposite ends of a scale.

I disagree with their concept of Agency too. I believe that most of life is luck, who you know, and beyond your specific control. That doesn't mean I don't believe in directing and taking charge of the parts that are in your control. Again, they treat these as opposite ends of a scale, and I think they are independent.

15. I agree with you
about practicality vs imagination or more creative views of things. On those questions I often equaled those answers as best as the test would allow. I don't think you have to forsake function for beauty or style. I think a thing can be both.

And I also took issue with the concept that your things are "who you are." Not quite. I think the things you have/buy can tell a store about some aspects of you, but they are a by-product of my self actualization, not the cause of it.

7. Respectful inventor.
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 10:19 AM by WritingIsMyReligion
You are a Respectful Inventor.
About You
You are an Inventor

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.

You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.

The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.

Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.

Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.

Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.

It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.

Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.

You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.

You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.

********

How You Relate to Others
You are Respectful

Your reserved nature, understanding of the world, and faith in others make you RESPECTFUL.

You trust those around you to do the right thing, so you tend not to get involved in other people's affairs.

You have fewer friendships than some, but the relationships you do have are very meaningful and important to you.

Your careful and practical observation of your environment has led you to understand that others' situations can be very complex.

Because of this, you are slow to pass judgments on others, even if sometimes you can't see what it is about certain things that upsets them.

You tend to enjoy the world through ideas and reflection, which allows you to get a lot out of the time you spend alone.

Your friends would describe you as laid-back and easy-going.

As someone who is calm and centered, you aren't likely to rush into things—this patience allows you to see many different perspectives and options.

If you want to be different:

Try letting your insight into the world and trust of others allow you to understand the feelings of those around you.

While you know how much can be learned from observing your world, remember that much of life can be lived by experiencing it, not just understanding it.

12. I'm not terribly feme, but...
I'm a fairly masculine gay man. I cook very well. I have fashion sense. I can decorate. Yet I scored very high on masculinity and very low on femininity.

I can't figure out what they use to calculate masculinity and femininity. I'm not sure what they mean by these two categories. There's some gender stereotyping going on that isn't very accurate.

30. Interesting...
I took it to mean that since I am independent and don't always worry about style over function (though I often do, and answered accordingly lol), I must not be a woman.

Eh...

I took a "gender" quiz once online and my result was "You are Definitely a Man."

Maybe the designations we have come up with are lacking, eh?

11. Considerate Inventor
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 10:47 AM by supernova
OK, that's two words I haven't seen put together before. "Inventors" are usually people who spend hours and hourse, sometimes, momths and years in their sheds working solo and forsaking family. :P

It is kinda neat though. :D I'm happy with it's description of me.

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

The control you feel over your life is empowering to you-- you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don't really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.

Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:
Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.

How You Relate to Others
You are Considerate

You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.

You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.

You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.

Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.

Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.

Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.

You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.

Your close friends know you as a good listener.

17. You are a Benevolent Realist...
:shrug:

About You
You are a Realist

Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function, and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST.

Routines are reassuring to you—you feel safer and more at ease when sticking with familiar things.

You like to stay close with those around you, seeking comfort from familiar faces.

You are interested in processes—how things work, what they do, and why—not just how things look.

Sometimes you doubt that you can find solutions to problems, although you have a good sense of why things happen, and can use that knowledge to find the best way to do something.

You are down to earth, concerned more with practical, detail-oriented things than with dreamy or ambiguous ideas.

You have a good sense of your abilities and weaknesses, and don't let your ego get in your way.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

18. You are a Benevolent Visionary.
About You
You are a Visionary

Your imagination, self-assuredness, and knowledge of the world combine to make you a VISIONARY.

You have clear notions of how things could be, and the confidence to try to make them that way.

You enjoy having a routine, and prefer comfort and familiarity to risk and adventure.

Not needing others' approval to forge ahead, you are confident in your designs for the future.

Your imagination allows you to envision the world as a better place.

You're better at thinking of the big picture than you are with details, and you can see wonder in abstract things.

Style and appearances are important to you, and you have a good eye for beauty.

You are somewhat rigid in your beliefs, which comes from both confidence and an aversion to change.

You are good at creating works of art in forms with which you're familiar.

You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.

You're well-attuned to your emotional state, and not afraid to use your feelings to guide you. You tend to be cooperative, rarely contradicting others, and always considerate of their feelings.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.


If you want to be different:

Appreciate the earthly, functional elements of things.

Your clarity of vision sometimes prevents you from being open to new ideas. Try expanding your horizon of experiences, and experimenting with novel ways of doing things.


How You Relate to Others
You are Benevolent

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.

Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.


If you want to be different:

You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!

Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

I'm a benevolent leader. All in all, I agreed with their assessment of me. They did have me as low femininity and high masculinity, which I thought was sort of interesting. I'm not really girly, but I was sort of surprised by that. I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. :shrug:

Cool test! Thanks for posting!

A few of the remarks from the results:


Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

43. Freewheeling inventor.
You are a Free-Wheeling Inventor.
About You
You are an Inventor
#

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.
#

You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.
#

The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.
#

Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.
#

Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.
#

Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.
#

It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.
#

Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.
#

You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.
#

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
If you want to be different:
#

Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.
How You Relate to Others
You are Free-Wheeling
#

Your charismatic nature, liveliness, and independence make you FREE-WHEELING.
#

You don't mind being in the spotlight, preferring social gatherings to quiet nights at home.
#

You take a practical approach to people, not getting too involved in their feelings—or their business.
#

At the same time, your acceptance of others leads you to be understanding of their life circumstances, even if you don't quite understand their emotional reactions to some things.
#

Although you have a wide circle of friends, you're very discerning as to whom you can trust.
#

You're not rigid in your beliefs about the world, and you don't want to impose your perspective on others, but at the same time, you know that plenty of people don't always act responsibly.
#

Engaging with others is a large part of how you live in the world, and most importantly, it plays a role in how you see yourself—you tend to learn a lot about yourself in situations where you are with other people.
#

You have an understanding of the complexities of situations, and you don't judge others too hastily.
If you want to be different:
#

Your open-mindedness about the world gives you a great perspective on things, but your lack of trust in others limits how close you can get with them. Try opening up to people a bit more without losing your healthy skepticism.
#

While being the life of the party will occasionally come naturally to you, be sure to reserve time for yourself—see what you can learn by spending some time observing the world rather than just by diving in.

64. Respectful Curator
You are straightforward and real, down-to-earth, and have a healthy respect for order and stability. These attributes, complemented by your desire to be surrounded by things of beauty, make you a CURATOR.
#

You don't feel the need to try everything new that comes along – you know what you like and what you want.
#

You are a no-nonsense person, not someone who falls for pretensions.
#

Being strongly grounded in the here-and-now, you are practical and realistic about yourself and your life.
#

You find comfort and calmness in your habits and routines.
#

Although others might not know this about you, you strongly appreciate aesthetic qualities, noticing whether something is well-designed and stylish.
#

You have a refined sense of taste, and you want your environments to reflect your preferred style.
#

There are times when you feel insecure and vulnerable, even though you know deep down that you are a good person.
#

You aren't narcissistic – you allow yourself to be realistic about your positive and negative qualities.
#

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.
#

Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.
#

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

66. I am a Advocating Inventor
You are an Advocating Inventor.
About You
You are an Inventor

• Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.
• You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.
• The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.
• Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.
• Your vision allows you to identify what's missing from a given situation, and your creativity allows you to fill in the gaps.
• Your awareness of how things function gives you the ability to come up with new uses for common objects.
• It is more interesting for you to pursue excitement than it is to get caught up in a routine.
• Although understanding details is not difficult for you, you specialize in seeing the bigger picture and don't get caught up in specifics.
• You tend to more proactive than reactive—you don't just wait for things to come to you.
• You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
If you want to be different:

• Try applying your creativity to more artistic arenas, and letting your imagination take less practical forms.
How You Relate to Others
You are Advocating

• Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.
• Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.
• One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.
• You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.
• You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.
• Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.
• Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.
• As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.
If you want to be different:

• While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occassionally to put yourself first.
• Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.
• When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.

69. You are a Considerate Idealist
From the laundry list below, it looks like this test does a better job of describing me than any other, including the Briggs and Meyer (or Briggs and Stratten...whatever) one...




As an IDEALIST, you are distinctive for your integration of confidence, imagination, willingness to explore, and desire for competence over style.

You have a strong capacity to comprehend the inner workings of things, finding new ideas and innovative insights to feed your curious nature.

You are quite comfortable in the realm of abstract thought. You don't need a practical solution to every one of life's questions.

You are comfortable with the decisions you make in life. You don't need to second-guess yourself, or seek a lot of opinions before you make up your mind.

You enjoy the routines that you have created in your life, and don't feel the need to shake things up just for the sake of change.

You generally succeed at what you do, and others would describe you as successful.

It is important to you that products be efficient – looking good has to come second to working well.

You aren't the kind of person who needs to collect stylish items in an attempt to create an attractive environment – you know that what matters most is function, not style.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.

You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.

You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.

Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.

Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.

Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.

You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.

Your close friends know you as a good listener.

Your imagination, self-reliance, openness to new things, and appreciation for utility combine to make you an INVENTOR.


You have the confidence to make your visions into reality, and you are willing to consider many alternatives to get that done.


The full spectrum of possibilities in the world intrigues you—you're not limited by pre-conceived notions of how things should be.


Problem-solving is a specialty of yours, owing to your persistence, curiosity, and understanding of how things work.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts


You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.


You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.


Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.


Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.







Because you like spending time with others, understand their feelings, and often know what is best for them, you are ATTENTIVE.


Some people are merely concerned about others, but you take action, helping people when you have the opportunity.


Although you care about others, you are hesitant to trust them to act in the best way on their own.


You don't let your concerns with people go unnoticed: if someone has hurt your feelings, that person will hear about it.


People energize and excite you—you are able to have fun and be yourself when you're around others.


You also learn a lot about yourself by talking things out with people, even if you don't always share things that are important to you.


You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and you're not hesitant to express yourself.


Understanding the dynamics of a situation is an important skill that you have, and you often intervene to clarify things for others.

74. I am a reserved realist...
Edited on Sun Mar-26-06 10:03 AM by ikojo
I wonder....many of the questions were similar to online Asperger's quizes I've taken...On every Aspie quiz I've taken, I've scored very high for Asperger's Syndrome. I wonder if others who have also scored high on the possibility of having Aperger's Syndrome also came out as realists of one stripe or another?


#

Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function, and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST.
#

Routines are reassuring to you—you feel safer and more at ease when sticking with familiar things.
#

You like to stay close with those around you, seeking comfort from familiar faces.
#

You are interested in processes—how things work, what they do, and why—not just how things look.
#

Sometimes you doubt that you can find solutions to problems, although you have a good sense of why things happen, and can use that knowledge to find the best way to do something.
#

You are down to earth, concerned more with practical, detail-oriented things than with dreamy or ambiguous ideas.
#

You have a good sense of your abilities and weaknesses, and don't let your ego get in your way.
#

You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
#

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
