Say You Love Me

I have been thinking today about how someone always asks you to describe yourself, whether in an interview or if it’s a person you’re getting to know for the first time. We all believe we have the exact words to describe our personality, but then we’re hit with the words “So tell me about yourself.” From personal experience, I know that my mind goes into somewhat of a frenzy, and I never feel I can truly explain who I am as a person. Blah blah blah…

Any how, I took a test to see what it thinks && these were the results:

“Harmony-seeking Idealist”

Quietly forceful, original and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which they strictly adhere to. Well-respected for their perseverance in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following.

I do not consider myself a total Idealist. I’d say I am more of a Realist. Although I could be described as somewhat of a dreamer, I like to keep both feet planted on the ground. I see things for what are and not as I would wish them to be, more often than not. On the contrary, I also believe that some of my deepest wishes can possibly be reality one day with the right amount of effort, no matter how hopeless it may seem now.

« Idealism = “behavior or thought based on a conception of things as they should be, or as one would wish them to be, with a tendency to be imaginary or visionary.”
« Realism = “behavior or thought based on a conception of things as they are, regardless of how one wants them to be, with a tendency to be practical and pragmatic.”
« Idealistic realist = “An idealistic realist is a realist who understands the realms of possibility, but also sees his idealism as potential reality.”
