Thanks. Now I don't have to take the test.

Idiosyncratic
(Self, Real World)

Not like anyone else. Dreamers, seekers of the spirit, visionaries, mystics. True originals and they stand out.

Seems fairly accurate. I mean, not genius, but it's a decent fit. I think I have the book this comes from. I should go back and look it up, as I think these percentages fit me way better than the ones I had the first time I took this test.

I got the "Sensitive" type, which doesn't really describe me at all. Neither of the descriptions that are supposed to correlate with ENFP describe me that well either.

I like this test, I think it describes me very accurately.

Leisurely
(Self)

Free to be me, happiness is what their life is all about, can find pleasure from almost any source.


Inalienable rights: Leisurely men and women believe in the right to enjoy themselves on their own terms in their own time. They value and protect their comfort,their free time, and their individual pursuit of happiness.

Enough is enough: They agree to play by the rules. They deliver what is expected of them and no more. They expect others to recognize and respect that limit.

The right to resist: Leisurely individuals cannot be exploited. They can comfortable resist acceding to demands that they deem unreasonable or above and beyondthe call of duty.

Manana: Leisurely men and women are relaxed about time. Unlike Type-A individuals, they are not obsessed by time urgency or the demands of the clock. To these individuals, haste makes waste and unnecessary anxiety. They are easygoing and optimistic that whatever needs to get done will get done, eventually.

I'm okay: They are not overawed by authority. They accept themselves and their approach to life. They are content with their place in the universe.

I identify most with

Inventive
Sensitive
Vigilant
Leisurely
Aggresive

at first glance

though I find it hard to express my personality within these styles, well really any styles... some things I'm reading thinking "yea thats like me" and other things I'm like "no definitally not"

Vigilant
(Relationships)

Possess an exceptional awareness of their environment, Survivors, antennae, Naturally assume role of social critic/watchdog.

Autonomy: Vigilant-Style individuals possess a resilient independence. They keep their own counsel, they require no outside reassurance or advice, they make decisions easily, and they can take care of themselves.
Caution: They are careful in their dealings with others, preferring to size up a person before entering into a relationship.
Perceptiveness: They are good listeners, with an ear for subtlety, tone and multiple levels of communication.
Self-defense: Individuals with Vigilant style are feisty and do not hesitate to stand up for themselves, especially when they are under attack.
Alertness to criticism: They take criticism very seriously, without becoming intimidated.
Fidelity: They place a high premium on fidelity and loyalty. They work hard to earn it, and they never take it for granted.

At your service, madam.

So I've recently been looking these up, cause why not, and I've tested as a Dramatic type. Personally I see no problem with it but I would like some outside input, and also if there is any correlation between this and socionics I would be interested in that also.

Do you know where I could find those correlations?

wtf...damned thing flipped out on me and then when i got to the page, it deleted everything I'd written!! Screw making it neater! :mad:

Pre-Richard would have had an overwhelming Vigilant and Mercurial scoring.
But after a 6 years with Richard, the scoring on that isn't nearly as high, allowing more of my inner self out. The Dramatic score, however, is as high as it is due to things that are actually more related to the Vigilant and Mercurial categories, though from an outsiders perspective it would be viewed as being "Dramatic". (some of the wordings on the test weren't all that great)

Idiosyncratic: (Self, Real World)
Not like anyone else. Dreamers, seekers of the spirit, visionaries, mystics. True originals and they stand out.
Inner life: Idiosyncratic individuals are tuned in to and sustained by their own feelings and belief systems, whether or not others accept or understand their particular world view or approach to life.
Own World: They are self-directed and independent, requiring few close relationships. (note: I'm not as self-directed and independent as many people think I am. Well, I am, but it comes with a lot of internal anxiety as well. What you see on the outside isn't necessarily what's going on on the inside.)
Own thing: Oblivious to convention, Idiosyncratic individuals create interesting, unusual, often eccentric lifestyle. (note: not as eccentric a lifestyle as I used to be, I'm still fighting conventions of my current lifestyle, but am slowly starting to 'cave')
Expanded reality: Open to anything, they are interested in the occult, the extrasensory, and the supernatural.
Metaphysics: They are drawn to abstract and speculative thinking.
Outward view: Though they are inner-directed and follow their own hearts and minds, Idiosyncratic men and women are known observers of others, particularly sensitive to how other people react to them.


Leisurely: (Self)
Free to be me, happiness is what their life is all about, can find pleasure from almost any source.
Inalienable rights: Leisurely men and women believe in the right to enjoy themselves on their own terms in their own time. They value and protect their comfort,their free time, and their individual pursuit of happiness.
Enough is enough: They agree to play by the rules. They deliver what is expected of them and no more. They expect others to recognize and respect that limit. (note: I will generally only play by the rules up to a point. Doesn't mean I like playing by the rules, though.)
The right to resist: Leisurely individuals cannot be exploited. They can comfortable resist acceding to demands that they deem unreasonable or above and beyond the call of duty. (note: due to my upbringing, I tend to initially comply with demands, but with internal resistance that will build up quickly until exploding.)
Manana: Leisurely men and women are relaxed about time. Unlike Type-A individuals, they are not obsessed by time urgency or the demands of the clock. (note: raising a child requires more awareness of time and scheduling. Unfortunately, it often requires more planning and organizing than I can successful give.)
To these individuals, haste makes waste and unnecessary anxiety. (note: actually, I want what I want WHEN I want it, so there is an element of haste in my decision making as well as my requests to others who I need something from)
They are easygoing and optimistic that whatever needs to get done will get done, eventually. (note: unless it's left up to me to get it done, in which case it may never get done at all...maybe not even started!)
I'm okay: They are not overawed by authority. They accept themselves and their approach to life. They are content with their place in the universe.

Leisurely makes some sense for me, but I think most of the questions were about reactions at attempts to be controlled, which I think is a bit misleading in terms of the actual priorities of Leisurely types. In the expanded Oldham, I am Inventive>Exhuberant>Adventurous>Leisurely>Idiosyn cratic.

I should say that it is my authoratitive opinion that I didn't think much of this test. I'm not convinced the results are a fair reflection of me, and the spelling was awful.

Agreed.

Although you should learn how to spell authoritative.

The shame

Yeah, the spelling was ridiculous...
Well, that's my result:

Conscientious
(Work)

Work ethic, get the job done and done right, strong morals and values, loyal, perfectionist.

Hard work: The Conscientious person is dedicated to work, works very hard, and is capable of intense, single-minded effort.
The right thing: To be Conscientious is to be a person of conscience. These are men and women of strong moral principles and values. Opinions and beliefs onany subject are rarely held lightly. Conscientious individuals want to do the right thing.
The right way: Everything must be done "right," and the Conscientious person has a clear understanding of what that means, from the correct way to balance the checkbook, to the best strategy to achieve the boas's objectives, to how to fit every single dirty dish into the dishwasher.
Perfectionism: The Conscientious person likes all tasks and projects to be complete to the final detail, without even minor flaws.
Love of detail: Conscientious men and women take seriously all the steps of any project. No detail is too small for Conscientious consideration.
Order: Conscientious people like the appearance of orderliness and tidiness. They are good organizers, catalogers, and list makers, and they appreciate schedules and routines.
Pragmatism: Conscientious types approach the world and other people from a practical, no-nonsense point of view, They roll up their sleeves and get to workwithout much emotional expenditure.
Prudence: Thrifty, careful, and cautious in all areas of their lives, Conscientious individuals do not give in to reckless abandon or wild excess.
Accumulation: A "pack rat," the Conscientious person saves and collects things (storing them in orderly bundles), reluctant to discard anything that has, formerly had, or someday may have value for him or her.

I actually didn't like that question either.
One can can worry that a spouse/lover is being sexually/emotionally unfaithful without being jealous. It's called anxiety, or low self esteem, or even being aware of clues. But jealousy doesn't have to play a role at all, and usually doesn't until there's someone to be jealous OF (such as confirmation of the unfaithfulness).

(Emotions, Relationships)
All heart, have been granted with the gift of feeling, The world is a stage for those of this style.

Feelings: Dramatic men and women live in an emotional world. They are sensation oriented, emotionally demonstrative, and physically affectionate. Theyreact emotionally to events and can shift quickly form mood to mood. Im not much of a demonstrating type.

Color: They experience life vividly and expansively. They have rich imaginations, they tell entertaining stories, and they are drown to romance andmelodrama. Im quite anti-melodrama, I actually hate it.

Spontaneity: Dramatic individuals are lively and fun. Their joie de vivre leads them to act on impulse to take advantage of the moment.

Applause: Compliments and praise are like food and water to persons with Dramatic style: they need them to go on.

Appearance: They pay a lot of attention to grooming, and they enjoy clothes, style, and fashion. I just dont think I pay a lot of attention to it or that I care about FASHION.

Sexual attraction: In appearance and behavior, Dramatic individuals enjoy their sexuality. They are seductive, engaging, charming tempters and temptresses
