So, we just finished our first personality test. And I'm almost, I dunno, angry. I despise the whole act of being put into boxes. And I was put into the box of being an idealist. It's good, I guess, but it wasn't what I thought I would be. You see, there are four different categories that you can be sorted into: Artisan, Guardian, Idealist and Rationalist. In all honesty, I was sure I was going to be an artisan because that's what I want to be. Idealist is nice, and maybe that is really what I am at heart, but I've been trying to stand out and break out of the mold. As my friend sitting next to me says "Wow, everyone's an idealist!" Ugh. Why would I want to be like everyone else?
All Idealists (NFs) share the following core characteristics:
- Idealists pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
- Idealists are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their
true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom. - Idealists tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal
journeys and human potentials. - Idealists make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders.
This makes a lot of sense. It is me, really. But I don't know if that's what I want to be.
