What type is my wife?
My wife doesn't want to take the personality test. She seems to dislike online forms and "filling stuff out". I am too new to the game to be able to pinpoint her by her actions alone. At some point I may persuade her, although I dont see the problem. I think she thinks its an IQ test of some kind and probably feels inadequate although I think she is extremely bright.
I am going to try to give some examples of her behavior. If its not enough, please ask me something that more clearly defines it.
I decided it would be too much to simply paste in a test, although I am aware i could take on on her behalf. I thought this would be more fun and I enjoy your unique responses.
I apologize if I go off on irrelevant tangents or get mushy. I'm trying my best to show positives and negatives. The positive is A the negative is B. Here goes:
----
1A. Always the life of the party. To the degree that she keeps going and going and going and I wonder where the batteries came from. She certainly can be pooped after normal day at work and at times is content to sit and watch tv. But once she's around other people its as if someone stuck a plug up her butt. So much enthusiasm. She'll even run around the house screaming "YAAAAAAAY" when her friend shows up. I think this is adorable. Sounds like an E so far... ok, got that down.
1B. But sometimes doesn't know when to stop.
----
2A. Very concerned about people, especially babies. She grew up in a house that doubled as a daycare center. She is a nanny. She wants babies.. bad. Loves animals. Takes great care of kids but is not goopy-sweet about it. Its almost as if she was born for it. She'll be a great mother. Can't handle violence and that includes sexual related things. Not dancing/posing no-clothes-on-mtv-type-girls.. but more like.. pornography or risque stuff. She will walk away or close her eyes. Definitely cries (a good wet one) on every episode of Extreme Home Makeover, without fail.
2B. But was on the wrestling team in high school and rode a motorcyle when I met her. This is not a negative per se, but it confuses me. Is she a dainty flower? or is she a tough guy? She seems exhibit this dual nature and it sometimes depends on who she hangs out with.

3A. Totally engages me in conversation. And sometimes I go over her head, but she hangs on and tries very hard to get me. I've been known to be too intense and think way to much. I get labeled this every day. But she manages to engage me at every level and we have great conversations. If she doesnt understand, she'll ask.
3B. But refuses to take the personality test. (this is representative of that kind of behavior)
----
4A. Sometimes refuses to ask for or receive help with anything. Unless it is with the computer, or things that she considers out of her sphere.
4B. Sometimes refuses to ask for or receive help with anything.
-----
5A. Is extremely intuitive about people. She knows people very well, smells bullshit a mile away. To this day I cannot fool her. Even just the variation in heat off my body will give away - to her - my intentions. There are times we say nothing to each other and it is understood clearly.
5B. Let's this get in the way of new friendships too much. In the sense of "give them a chance".
----
6A. Very calm cool and collected in facing certain hardships. Doesnt sweat the little things.
6B. Except when it comes to money. Fuhhgetatboutit.
