Keirsey Temperament Sorter II
Anonymous:
Hi Portia and all,
If you want to a comparitive free on-line temperament analysis go to (and I don't know how to make the link like you other clever folk. Sorry)
www.keirsey.com
Maybe some clever dick could do it for me.
I was replying to you Portia on write's thread but decided to pop it out on it's own. I've done the tests a few ways and usually get ESTJ, (I've gone from ESFJ to ESTJ I think because of PTSD. Sigh :roll: Who knows???? But strangely on the other one I came up different. It doesn't worry me, maybe I was just having one of those schizo days. I'd be interested if anyone does this test and get close to the same reading as on the other sight.
CG (That'll do. From now on I'll use it Rosencrantz. I appreciate your continued use of it and it now hold some meaning for me.)
And Portia, is your hole dug yet. :D :D :D

Hey I just typed the www name and it came up auto as a link. How cool is that.
Portia:
Hey CG you just made yourself into a clever dick 8) ! (See, we’re not that clever after all.) Reminds me of the middle-aged Spanish language teacher making a comment about a woman in her story: “I mean, she was being a dick-head”. Then she paused, looked directly at me (out of a class of 10!) and asked “a woman can be a dick-head can she?” Um yes, but why ask me???! And what a loaded question! The imagery it brings to mind…as for clever-dick...!
Thanks for the link! I didn’t hand over $15 for the full monty but I did get as far as NF, confirming my previous. Good questions and you can feel your reaction to them - ack, well I can, like feeling the word marshmallow is just like the sweet – yes? Who said relish was a great word somewhere recently? Write? R? CG? Anyway, yes, mmm!
Waiting for Nic to return so he can either give me a hand out of that hole or kick my rump further into it! It’s all experience :roll: …thanks again! :D P
rosencrantz:
LOL She looked at you Portia because she knew you were intelligent and could give her an accurate (unloaded) answer!!!!!!! :wink: Sorry, but I'm putting on the thumbscrews, now! :wink: :wink:
Yes, relish was me. "So close to 'flourish'..."
And, CG, how wonderful - you've chosen an identity. That's a nice one. They all have meaning. :) (I hate these stupid icons - you want to give someone a real genuine smile and you've got this stupid grin plastered all over your face instead!!!) If you go back right to the very last page of the board, you'll find 'Sharing laughter and irony" - you'll discover what Rosencrantz means!!!
Do you know I have spent my LIFE trying to understand myself (I should have been trying to 'understand' my mother!) so I've done just about every test there is. But I couldn't work out the Keirsey. One day somebody wanted to get to know me in a work environment and said 'aha - you're an idealist'. I nearly thumped him. Wodja mean, I'm an idealist. What kind of insult is this!!! He never did reveal what he meant but I suspect he had the Keirsey in mind. Never use a 'type' to 'typecast'/define people. Yuk!! I may pigeonhole myself, but you may not define me withou my say-so. :twisted: :wink:
Anyway, that makes me an Idealist Champion although the Idealist Counsellor description resonates with me more. This describes exactly what bothers me most in my life, what I have most difficulty with:
Counselors have strong empathic abilities and can become aware of another's emotions or intentions -- good or evil -- even before that person is conscious of them. This "mind-reading" can take the form of feeling the hidden distress or illnesses of others to an extent which is difficult for other types to comprehend. Even Counselors can seldom tell how they came to penetrate others' feelings so keenly.
Could be a gift, but just a recipe for confusion if you are brought up in an environment where people don't admit to (or even know) their own feelings and project it all outwards instead.
Talking of four quadrants, wot about the 'brain dominance' instrument, too. Shows how you 'prefer' to think, learn and generally understand the world. All these 'lenses' link in together one way or another methinks.

I'm definitely right brain dominant tho 'trained' to use the left-hand side - :idea: that's why I need a support network of people who are strong in the left hand side for when the my left-hand side (logic) collapses under the strain!!!
I used to say that my legal training was squeezing my brain out of the right hand side into the left hand side (hence the rigid precise 'truth-telling' when dealing with facts). I didn't realise at the time how accurate that feeling was!

Aah, that felt good.
Forget worrying about NPD, f*#*ed mothers, unfaithful lovers and friends. I've just realised I've got bigger problems. I'm going back to school to brush up on grammar, punctuation and spelling.
