[idealist daw]

Above is the result of a personality quiz referred to me by a friend of mine. It says I'm an Idealist (read about idealist types). Ok.

The four icons above make up an Idealist. The exact opposites of which, according to the quiz are the traits: planner, facts, heads, and extrovert respectively (what personality type this is, i dont know). I can understand spontaneous (as im not really a 'planner'), ideas, and introvert but hearts?! I'm not a hearts person. At least i won't ADMIT to being a hearts person. Besides, I believe I'm more of a heads person ..or maybe i should say that i'd rather be a heads person. Of course personality tests aren't always accurate and as a convenient disclaimer, the quiz did say that not all results are accurate, said it only presents a guide so people can understand themselves better. Understand themselves better? Let's see.

To tell the truth, I already took the test before. I think it was by the end of the last sem or something. I just thought i should take it again and post the results here - for the purpose of having an introduction or something like that - for myself. At that time though, the test results said i was a "Strategist" type of person. I liked it better when it said i was a strategist. You have to admit that "strategist" sounds cooler than "idealist". Makes you think around the lines of 'military tactitician' or Sun Tzu's Art of War or uber chess master - shougi - Go master - commander of the imperial armada (malapit na starwars. weehee! Natalie Portman!).

'Idealist', on the other hand, makes you sound like a stupid catholic school kid. But then again, as an artist and as a person brought up in a very religious environment among other factors - i won't say i'm a lovesick idiot or a guy who still thinks he can find an ideal relationship or maybe somebody who thinks there's still a chance for world peace - i seem to remember times when i do tend to think like an idealist. Come to think of it ..[scanning memory].... i think i really DO think like an idealist. and i WAS a catholic school kid (but i wasn't stupid. ha). ...crap. must think more on this...

Anyway, sorry. My mind suddenly got lost. ....ok, let's see this one by one:
"idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life" ---> ok, that's true.
"Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future." ---> i always tend to think too far ahead and fail to put myself in the present. this particular characteristic has already caused me lots of trouble (and other people).
"they are typically easy-going and flexible" ---> i guess this explains my 2.3 grade average.
"...but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise." --->kaya ko pala palagi nakaka-away si taekwondo coach (hmm.. idea para sa blog entry. arnis vs. taekwondo).
"Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential." ---> i don't know why but i like teaching people how to draw, or teach people about martial arts, or just give advice. influencing people is fun >:)
"They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity." ---> there you go :D

Judging from what the article said, i'd say i'm 80% idealist. ... sige na nga. Idealist na nga kung idealist. I hate this introduction. My head hurts.
