The Ultimate Personality Test

You're a Poet!

Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Poet which means you are a Thinker / Golden Your primary sub-type is defined by "Thinker" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics.

That means you're complex and artistic with a rich inner life. Chances are you're a bit shy and quiet, and you enjoy peaceful, comfortable environments. You're an interesting person to know, full of insights and inspiration, even though you're sometimes hesitant to express them.

How do we know all this? How do we know that you enjoy intense one-on-ones or small, intimate dinner parties? Or that you might not make friends all that easily, but that you relish the ones you have? How could we have divined that you don't like to juggle too much at work and can get stressed out by major job upheavals?

Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Poet.

And that's just scratching the surface.

Nine With a 1 Wing
Tend to have been "model children." Instinctively worked to please their parents by being virtuous, orderly, and little trouble. When awakened, they have great moral authority plus good-hearted peacemaking tendencies. Often have a sense of mission, public or private, that involves working hard for the welfare of everyone they are committed to. Principled expression of love. Desire to contribute, do little harm. May be well-liked, modest, endearing, gentle yet firm. Some have great grace and composure with bursts of spontaneity and sweetness. Elegant simplicity. When entranced, they tend to be self-neglectful. May go passively dead and operate from a dubious, fractured morality. Dutiful to what they shouldn't be. Play the good child, disappear into contexts, settle for being overlooked or just partly recognized. Passive tolerance of absurd or damaging situations. One-sided relationships where the Nine gives too much. Rationalize, minimize, tell themselves they had a great childhood, everything's fine. Placid numbness creeps over them. Intolerance of their own emotions. Gradually deaden their soul.

Yahoo's Love Style Quiz

Your Love Style: Romantic
SUMMARY:
Protectors in Love
Protectors like you are rarely Romantics. You tend to be pragmatic about your decisions, and romance is anything but practical. You also like to be in charge of your life, so the idea of love taking it over makes you feel uneasy. But you still keep open the possibility that something magical will come into your life.


DETAIL:
You want and expect it all—a lasting connection with someone on every level—mental, emotional, sexual, and spiritual.

True Romantics like you are pretty rare. You have a good imagination, which allows you to visualize the type of man you could fall in love with. You can actually see and feel the future happiness the two of you would share. You also have the patience and persistence to search for him.

When you finally meet him, the attraction can be instant and overwhelming. True Romantics believe in destiny, but you're also willing to give fate a push in the right direction. If necessary, you'll even make a total fool of yourself to win him over. Romantics know that falling in love often means falling flat on your face.
Still, if the two of you can connect, you'll have the capacity to experience the type of love most people only dream about. Specifically, your "style" of loving appears to have these common features:

You're looking for a very close, intimate relationship. You want to share the most important aspects of your life with him and not feel like you have to hold things back. The past is the past, but you should be open and honest about your life now. If you love him, you'll want to know about his hopes and dreams and try to help make them come true.

Love means sharing your life completely with someone. His friends and family become your friends and family, and vice versa. Love requires sacrifice, and at times this means giving up parts of your own life so you can share a life together.

Good sexual chemistry is an important ingredient in creating a lasting love. You're not a purist who thinks love is a saintly connection between "friends." You want a lover who connects with you body and soul. Of course, sexual passion can wane over time, so ultimately, affection and companionship must also be key ingredients.

Both partners have to decide when they're ready to make a commitment and at what pace. Rushing into a commitment only adds to the pressure of forming a relationship. The two of you have to find the type and level of commitment that makes sense given your feelings and how long you've been together.

Your Personality Type: The Protector (Offering a safe harbor)

SUMMARY:
You enjoy spending time one-on-one with someone or being with a small group of close friends. Crowds drain your energy, while time spent alone or relaxing with a friend revitalizes you.

You're smart and insightful. Over time, people will increasingly see you as "wise" and visionary.

You're overly modest at times and tend to sell yourself short.

You're a very stable and secure person.

DETAIL:

As a Protector, you offer a safe harbor to the people in your life who count on you to be calm, reasonable, and consistent.

People feel safe and secure when they're around you. They notice that you're dependable and emotionally stable. No one worries that you'll lash out at them or be dramatic. Your basic rules of conduct are clear: Always do what you say and say what you mean.

People instinctively trust you, too. You're the type of person people trust to keep secrets, manage their money, or run their companies. People can count on you to make reasonable and objective decisions.

Ask your friends who they'd want to be on a jury if they were ever charged with a crime. Chances are you'd be at the top of the list. You're the perfect impartial jury or judge.

Of course, it can be a burden to be the one everyone trusts and depends on. Because you're always reliable and never moody, people don't know what to do when you're upset or off schedule. You end up trapped in a prison of your own and other people's expectations. So try to see it as good news when you mess up. It's a chance to remind everyone that you're human and have the right to do stupid things!
