Personality test

www.perex.com

You are exceptional and unique. Your quest in life is to identify exactly who you are and why you’re here. What’s important to you is the journey of self discovery, determining who you are today is not the same as who you’ll be tomorrow.


You resist being categorized and are quick to question any social standard that you sense someone imposing on you. Stereotypical gender roles always interest you and, in your mind, connect to issues that most other people would never even consider related.


You can “connect” with any individual person and practically read their mind, but you have a natural tendency to match your actions to the expectations you read from their mind and yearn for company that lets you truly, naturally be yourself. You struggle between letting yourself naturally match the sentiment of the group (which feels like putting on a façade) or letting your individuality shine, which may allow people to see how different you are.


You are particularly accepting of other people and have a special talent for seeing people’s true selves instinctively. It takes time for you to trust your gut instinct about people because even you don’t believe that someone could be so right about another person’s nature so quickly. This intuitive sense about what people are thinking (which is actually your hyper-attention to nonverbal cues) is your special talent. You may think it is available to everyone and that others just ignore it, but in truth others could never develop the skill to the level which comes naturally to you.


To you everything happens on a personal level. Your friends come to you for advice because they know that you’ll love them for who they are and put yourself in their shoes to look at the world. Your advice, although varied in delivery, usually boils down to “be true to yourself” and “listen to your heart.” You are also an excellent confidant because things told to you never return to anyone through the grapevine. You exude this quality so strongly that even strangers will sometimes spontaneously begin confiding their deepest secrets in you.


Despite all of that, you are not much of a talker. In fact, words sometimes trip you up because you prefer nonverbal communication. Unfortunately, most of the world is not as attuned to nonverbal communication the way you are, so your opinion can get overshadowed if a more outspoken person is part of the decision.


You focus more on nurturing other’s self esteem than any other type. As a result of this naturally caring nature your close friends often turn to you for moral support.


You are by far the most talented of all types at reading nonverbal cues. In your admirable attempts to convey a message diplomatically, those who aren't sensitive to inflection, tone, insinuations or body language sometimes simply do not get your message because they only receive the verbal half of what you said.


In the same way that you're the best at reading nonverbal cues, you're also the best at sending them. When you speak they miss the nonverbal half of your message, then they speak and transmit twice the message (verbal + nonverbal) which often gives away more than they intended but is sometimes carelessly inaccurate since they don’t send nonverbal cues as well as you do. When you're tempted to assign bias based on someone’s tone or other nonverbal cues it is wise to have them restate what they said and see if ignoring the careless, unintentional nonverbal half of their message lets the true meaning through.


If you have children your focus is making sure that your child has a strong self-image and high self-esteem. More than other parents it is important for you to be friends with your children.


You are more philosophical than most and passionately think about ethics and justice more than other types. It is when ethical issues come up in conversation that you most strongly sense that you are fundamentally different from other people. You become visually emotionally focused when these issues arise, while others easily laugh them off and switch topics to something trivial. To you, it seems that everyone should be passionate about ending racism, sexism and other social ills.


You go by the book and are suspicious of anyone suggesting that rules or laws should be ignored. You think constantly about improving laws, and see that at a major avenue for advancing social change because you see legislation and rule creation as the consensus opinion of the group working together. For you the focus is seeing everyone working together in harmony.


You are a healer and probably give great massages and know what foods will make people happy again. You prefer to surround yourself with direct, honest, authentic people who let you reinvent yourself every time you meet. You want nothing more than for there to be peace and harmony in the world, and your actions clearly reflect that vision.


You are more strongly moved by poetry and artistic expression than any other type. You are interested in the finer points of different artistic mediums, having many complete and incomplete poems and stories in your head if not on paper.




Hmm, interesting!  Sounds mostly right.

fa la la la la, la la la la

13 days until Christmas, and I haven't bought a damn thing yet!  That's my mission for the weekend.  I'll be rollin all over town.  What fun!

Have you ever wondered what an order filling job is like?  This is it, in a nutshell:

You arrive in good spirits, your legs still sore from the previous eleven hour shift.  You go to the daily team meeting and converse with fellow employees.  You get busy fulfilling your mission to ship out as many units as possible.  Your telezapper keeps informing you of new locations to move to.  Run, run faster!!  You wonder what time it is.  You know that you should never, EVER look at the clock, but you just cannot resist this temptation.  7:15 pm?!  WHAT THE HELL?!  It feels like you've been here forever!  Ugh. 

Break time finally rolls around, by the time you get outside you have exactly enough time to smoke half of your cigarette.  Hurry back, RUN, RUN!  The telezapper sends a message to go faster and moves you to a new location where there are only 5 totes.  What the hell?

You call the help desk to report this issue.  They tell you to hold on a moment, and lay the phone aside for two minutes.  You impatiently march up to them, and tell them that you couldn't stay on hold any longer because you got another call.  You laugh at your own joke.

The desk helpers, however, are not amused by your attempt to humor them. 

You ask, "WHERE HAVE ALL THE TOTES GONE?!"  You are pointed in the direction of some totes and push them to your location.  Work.  Work, work.  Go fast.  La, la, la.

10:08 pm, the system crashes.  You are handed a box cutter and told to go open boxes and place merchandise on pallets.  Awesome. 

Lunch time! 

You are almost ran over by a person in a golf cart who was behind you and forgot to honk the horn.  Your fingers are dirty, there's too much dust.

Then, before you know it (like, a day later), it is 3:00 am. 

This is when things start to get a little funny. 

You walk in a dazed, dreamy like state.  Your feet feel like they are on fire and your legs ache.  Your pedometer informs you that you have walked 20 miles thus far.  You are stuck on the 5th level, where it is hot.  The 5th level... if this was a Mario Brothers game, you'd be kicking ass! 
But it's not, and you aren't.

You imagine that this is what hell must be like, wandering around aimlessly and in pain, and you just want to go to sleep.  At least there are fans here, though.

You are hungry as hell.  You place a tote on the conveyor belt and look down blow.  You look at the floor.  You hope those nails are strong enough, because there is totally a gap in that board.
You start singing "we all live in a yellow Submarine"...

Someone with a red vest on walks past you, then does a double take and asks if you are okay.  You laugh.  You advise them that you have to sing to yourself, to stay awake.  They give you a crazy look.  But that's okay, we're all crazy here.

3:18 AM.  Dammit, you looked at the clock again!  Why?!

3:53 AM.  Must... keep... going...

Finally, your telezapper gives you the joyous message that it is time to go home at 4:30 am.  You almost cry tears of joy as you shuffle your feet towards the exit and wench in pain as they hit the stairs.  You are so not in shape for this.

You make it out to your car about 15 minutes later and find it to be covered in ice.  Fabulous.  You enjoy your after shift cigarette as you vivaciously scrape that shit off of your windshied.  You drive the long drive home, feeling accomplished.  You made it through the day without your ankles breaking... hell yeah!

THE END

Honestly... it just get so boring after a few hours!!!  LOL. 

There's not much else going on in my life besides the usual, and working, and sleeping.  How is everyone??
