hello fellow french fries. this is my personality profile after i took the test suggested on Will's blog:
- You tend to be a traditionalist, and will enjoy the social environment best if it is stable and predictable. You dislike sudden decisions about where to go or what to do, preferring to think things out first.
- You tend to be loyal to others. Your loyalty shows in a variety of ways including your "staying power" with relationships and activities.
- You have a basic need to be supportive of others. You will agree with others, sometimes even if it's not what you really want.
- You tend to dislike sudden or abrupt changes. You prefer things the way they are. Your motto might be: "If it's not broken, don't fix it."
- You are a good friend and are always willing to help those you consider to be your friends.
- You also show strong ties, and will be uncomfortable when separated from your friends for an extended period.
- You may demonstrate positive possessiveness by developing strong attachments; however, you will not be overly involved as some others tend to do.
- Others may perceive you as being undemonstrative and self-controlled. Not wanting to be the center of attention, you generally support others.
- you prefer a warm, friendly environment free of conflict and hostility. In that environment, you prefer reassurance of your involvement and self-worth.
- Because of your lenient and complacent nature, others with fewer scruples may take advantage of you. You could, perhaps, benefit from greater assertiveness.
Each person has a unique way of communicating. We use a combination of body language, facial expression, verbal tone and word choice to share ourselves with others. The following statements offer a look at the natural behavior you bring to an interpersonal relationship.
- You have a communications style which many people are comfortable with almost immediately. You are sincere, a good listener, not pushy and overall a comfortable person to be near.
- In your group, you may support the group leader rather than vie for a leadership position yourself. As a result, the group leader will usually appreciate the support you bring.
- In communicating with others, you may support the mainstream ideas rather than new trailblazing activities. You may prefer the stable and traditional activities.
- Others will notice that you are a sincere person about what you say and do. This trait, along with the excellent listening skills, creates an individual whom most people find pleasant to be with and a calming type of person.
- You tend to internalize conflict. As a result, if something about another is bothering you, you may bottle-up feelings and keep them inside.
Many different factors determine the communication styles with which you are most comfortable. Some individuals thrive on the challenge of pointed criticism, while others are at their best in a nurturing environment where criticism is offered as a suggestion for improvement. Each of us has a unique set of requirements and preferences. Below is a list of communication styles that will mesh well with your own. Having a partner who understands and practices these traits is important to your long-term happiness.
- Be responsive toward ideas and commitments.
- Provide solid, tangible, practical ideas and evidence.
- Allow time to ask questions.
- Take time to be certain that you reach an agreement.
- Move casually, informally.
- Start with a personal comment to "break the ice."
- Support ideas for change with facts, figures and logic.
- Find areas of common interest and involvement.
- Ask "How" questions to draw out opinions.
- Keep the conversation at the discussion level, rather than confrontation.
- Take time during explanations.
- Listen sincerely.
Following are some of the specific strengths and/or personal characteristics that you bring to a relationship. These may form the foundations of many of your friendships and dealings with other people. Some will seem obvious, but you may be surprised by others. Take a moment to reflect on each and consider what role it may have played in your past successes, and even failures.
- You take pride in being very loyal to friends and family.
- You are generally very patient with people.
- You tend to be a very calming influence in heated situations.
- You are a dependable and caring partner.

- You tend to work hard at making sure that other people are happy.
- You are excellent at listening to the concerns and ideas of others.
- You are excellent at listening to your partner.
In general, human beings are defined by their needs and individuals by their wants. Your emotional wants are especially important when establishing with whom you are compatible. While answering the Relationship Questionnaire you established a pattern of basic, subconscious wants. This section of the report was produced by analyzing those patterns. Our wants change as we mature and obtain our life goals. You may find it valuable to revisit this section periodically to see how your wants have changed.
You may want:
- Time to adjust to change.
- Freedom from pressure to perform or to act quickly without precedent.
- Security for now, and in the future.
- Better planning for change in the future.
- Detailed information about major decisions with complete instructions.
- An environment free from conflict or hostility.
- Protection or insulation from aggression or confrontation.
- Time and opportunity to weigh pros and cons of decisions.
- Security and safety procedures around the house: fire safety, smoke detectors, electronic security systems, etc.
- Time to react to new ideas and sudden change.
