Warm: -I have a genuine interest in other people. I'm a natural host, and am always thinking about how I can increase the happiness of those around me. When friends have problems or are in trouble, I'm usually the first person they turn to for aid and comfort. I am among those who enjoy domestic activities, doing things around the house, and am enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place. I don't always say exactly what you're thinking; I don't like the idea of causing anyone pain because of criticism, but nor do I "sugarcoat" the truth... Understanding: -I am willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. I'm a good listener, and don't criticize, and offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. I'm enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place, but I'm only one in many who should try to strive for something of the same goal. I don't feel the need to impose my standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain... (In some cases though, the truth hurts). Upbeat: -I enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around me.most of the time. I have a "live and let live" attitude; because I know that no one's perfect, I'm forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt. I don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. I see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way. Aesthetic: -I appreciate art, beauty, and design; and know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. I have good taste, and am proud of it. I enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house, and am enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.I don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. I'm not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job. Competent: -I strive to master everything I undertake. I tend to learn quickly and do not shy away from challenges.I'm not a "que sera sera" type of person, nor do I go easy on myself when attempting to master a new skill or get a job done. Empathetic: -I'm in touch with my own feelings, which helps put me in touch with the feelings of others.I don't buy the logic that my happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless you're happy, you're incapable of making anyone else happy. Introspective: -I like my own company; I'm a very intricate person. Tracking my own mental processes, knowing what I'm thinking and why I do what I do, is important to me. Often, what's going on in my mind is more compelling than what's going on outside. I enjoy reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary activities.I'm not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; I never feel bored when I'm by myself. Creative: -I'm good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people sometimes miss. I do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible, but nor am I by any means materialistic. Astute: -I am a quick study. I generally don't need to have things explained to me more than once. When presented with a problem, I will often have an instant understanding of where to look for the solution.I do not take my sweet time when presented with a new task to complete or problem to solve. I don't avoid assignments that require me to learn new skills. Sympathetic: -I have a knack for knowing what's going on in the hearts and minds of those around me, without them having to tell me explicitly. People tend to turn to me with their problems because they know I care, and that I will likely offer good advice and a helping hand, anyway that I can. I do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves. We all have our own "horror" stories that we can relate to.
