Learn Yourself!

So I took this personality test at Learn Myself (thanks Min!). I won’t post the whole thing because I realize it’s only very interesting to myself, but some of it made me grin.

You feel strong cravings and urges that you have difficulty resisting.

You tend to prefer short-term pleasures and rewards over long-term consequences. (see Master? It’s not my fault! I was born that way! :D )

You tend not to talk much and prefer to let others control the activities of groups.

You are likely to take risks and seek thrills.

You are a moderately imaginative person who enjoys a good balance between the real world and fantasy.

You prefer familiar routines and for things to stay the same.

You like the security of tradition, but sometimes have a desire to bend the rules and challenge conventional thinking. (just yesterday I had the strongest urge to do something bad. Something naughty. Not to incur the wrath of Master, but to make a ripple, make some noise… but I didn’t. Because…

You do not enjoy confrontation, but you will stand up for yourself or push your point if you feel it is important. (unfortunately what I find important rarely matches Master’s list. Hmmph.)

You may have a sense that you are not in control of your life. (ya think?)

You find contracts, rules, and regulations overly confining. (snicker snicker snicker)

You find yourself procrastinating and show poor follow-through on tasks. Often you fail to complete tasks – even tasks that you want very much to complete. (I DO have a task that I’ve spent the morning talking myself out of! How do they know that?!!)

You often say or do the first thing that comes to mind without deliberating alternatives and the probable consequences of those alternatives. (Indeed, my mouth gets me in trouble ALL the time!)

So. I was given a task to do today that I have a strong urge NOT to do. I’m focusing entirely on the short-term pleasure of not doing it and ignoring the long-term consequences. I figure if I put it off long enough, I won’t have time to do it before I have to pick up Am for her dentist’s appt. Then my excuse can be that I *couldn’t* do it because she was home! And hope he won’t point out that she wasn’t home all morning, or that I did take her back to school in the afternoon. I am not acknowledging those alternative endings.

Hmm. There’s a lesson in here somewhere, isn’t there?

    Okay, that’s really amusing, but not surprising. I need to go and take that!

    Heh — I went to go take the test, but then the questions were, “Do you complete tasks successfully?” or “Do you have a vivid imagination?” so I figure I already know the answers going in! ;)

    Uh yep. But then you know that! If it were my Sir, the task would be much worse after all of the excuses & logic. Not actually punishment, just the task times 10!

    LOL, thanks for the chuckle, and maybe, just maybe, i’ll get brave enough to go the site myself.
