i am a big fan of personality quizzes and tests. i'd love to know what lies beneath Happy- characteristics that haven't been unveiled yet. or my identity that i haven't known. perhaps to understand myself better and realize why i act like this, think like this. my values may have been influenced by external factors, but with tests like this the real me is defined..
i took up several free personality tests on the net and some results reveal myself accurately with a little blunder. but i noticed some consistencies in the test results- that i am a leader, i am more of an extrovert, creative, open to new experiences, achieving, curious and confident- which are true. i never actually realized my traits until i discovered them through those tests. i was unaware of them that it was just now that i finally realize who i really am.
i now understand that i can't be compared to you. i'm different. i'm special. i am a concoction of the good and bad and right and wrong. i'm a mixture of everything- rolled into one.

ever since we started to have an internet connection, i became interested with free personality tests to know more about myself. there's one site before that I used to login to everyday to take quirky personality tests. it was entertaining. that's one of the hobbies i had before- taking up personality tests- aside from playing online games. that's like 2 years ago. i'd like to rediscover myself again- so i took a test from www.learnmyself.com and realized how accurate the results were after taking the test. i was so amazed. i mean, i know myself but i didn't realize that until i've read my personality report! i guess this goes to show that psychologists know me better than i know myself! hahaha!
i've convinced my husband to do the same, and took a test from that site. i've discovered things in him that i didn't know though we've been living together for 8 years. i was so surprised upon learning the results... it wasn't a turn off or anything. it was fun indeed, learning more about ourselves.
my goal is to know in which career i would excel, basically the reason why i took the personality test. one site revealed (www.kisa.ca )that my personality type is ISFP (introverted, sensing, feeling, perceiving) and that jobs which would expose my artistic side are a great match. Chef, designer, editor, writer, artist, technician- to name a few. Famous people with ISFP personalities include Barbara Streisand, John Travolta, Brooke Shields, Kevin Costner, Steven Spielberg and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (www.mypersonality.info). aw. and i'm so proud :)

Everyone has different personalities and God fashioned us that way. Differences in our personalities shows that we're truly special. Imagine how God took time to create each one of us, designing in us a variety of attitudes, virtues and principles which makes up our unique personality. Perhaps I am reserved and distant and difficult to understand. But God lovingly chose us inspite of our flaws and saved us from our sins and His wrath. He has a purpose why He designed that way- it's to give God the glory through our lives and different personalities.
