The Strength's Finders Test Listed off the following for me:
Input, Learner, Relator, Ideation, Strategic (For those of you who know the test make of it what you will in your typing)
I'm an information addict. I love logic. I'll apply logic to anything from philosophy, morals, relationships, and people. Typically I do very well in school and am able to work several extrapolate pieces of information from one small piece. My majors are in biology and chemistry and I'm currently working toward medical school. I've consistantly been the best student in any class I've decided to put even minimal effort toward. If I don't put the effort in - and occasionally I don't because I'm either distracted or think the prof and his material is bogus (and even then I'll work hard just to establish that I've mastered his material while yawning). It's very hard to overwork me. I've consistantly taken 20 hour loads with multiple laboratory science classes per semester.
I'm a pilot and love the freedom it offers.
In terms of religion and faith, I find myself fairly religious from my experiences in biochemistry and my moral systems. I place a high value on civility and define true love as selflessness (which I find worthy of aspiring too) and seperate it from passion and attraction.
I read a lot. I'll read novels, how-to books, philosophy texts, logic texts, books on sex, books on war, business, anything.... I love the time alone where my mind can just mull over a new concept and work the in's and outs of it.
I find myself holding 4-5 circles of friends each of varying sizes and am able to enjoy being with any group at a given time. Generally I'm well received and can push the group towards activities and general mischief. I love a good joke, don't mind a little morbid humor but typically enjoy well-crafted whit the most, but typically take offense when civility towards members of the group breaks down. My friends typically come to me for advice especially girls - and I like listening and seeing if I can help them with their problems. I'll usually try and be objective in my analysis but at the same time help them find ways to cope or fix the situation. I love people and being able to help them with the gifts I've been given. My insight into both the natural world, and human relations is probably my largest gift.
In social events I can market myself fairly well. I've yet to go into an interview for anything and not come out with exactly what I was looking for. I'm more than willing at school or work to step back and let others lead -- unless noone does -- and then I'll step foward because it has to be done.
My own love life saw one major girlfriend from 9th grade till the end of 11th grade. I've dated the same girl on and off for individual dates ever since (senior in college now.) I've dated a series of other girls lightly but nothing serious. Primarily, I keep myself at a distance from them because they'll get moody without logical reasons to do so. I show them a great time and all...but I remain aloof. If I find myself head over heals for someone the situation usually goes the other way with myself chasing from behind in the relationship and my feelings often becoming painfully deep. I'll second guess myself alot looking for new information - like now.
In high school I had a major personality shift. I went from being willing to challenge or argue any point that I found wasn't grounded in logic or to me made the other individual look like an idiot (especially when their decisions affected other people). I could pick apart about any arguement. The habit was broken when my parents decided to divorce, my girlfriend of two years left me, was kicked out of my father's house, lost my car, didn't make the baseball team, received a rejection letter from my dream school and life plan (Naval Academy), and had my dog die in the course of one week. After about a six month depression, especially over the girl (who jerks me around even to this day) I decided that I loved life, it was gift, and had no business moping in it. I no longer picked arguements, was much much more tolerant of diverging views - though I still prefer anyone back something up if they want to sell it to me. I was extremely laid back until about my junior year of college when I met a girl who motivated me to push myself in the realm of acedemics and I've found focus again. I hated not knowing what I was going to do with my life - without the knowledge I didn't have alot of motivation to push myself. Decided I wanted to go into medicine and I've found my academic performance is running on all cylinders again.
I have flaws - a ton of them. I lose small objects, can be accused of being too serious because of my passion for philosophy and politics or love of argueing for the intellectual stimulation - and can often push a point too far. To some people I come off as arrogent because I'll call others on logical fallacies or push them to exam their view points. Others see me as charming - I've often been described as the kind of guy you'd find in a 1940s jazz club playing base while people are swing dancing around me. My ex says I'm indecisive - which comes from me looking for more information I suppose.
Anyways thanks for reading through a hastily and very poorily produced description of myself. Let me know if you want / need more.
