Personality Quiz

Personality Quiz: I just took this personality test that was found on my brother's and Christine's blog... I thought the results kinda hit home... But >_< Not sure...

"Think of themselves as gentle, conscientious, and mature": I can assure you I didn't say that in the test @.@ Not like that anyway >_< Wahhhz...

In case you're interested, my results are below:

Your answers suggest you are a Nurturer

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

Planner, Facts, Hearts and Introvert

Summary of Nurturers

  • Care for the important people in their lives
  • Strive for harmony and avoid confrontation
  • Think of themselves as gentle, conscientious, and mature
  • May have trouble making decisions that could hurt others

More about Nurturers

Nurturers are quiet people who believe in order and diligently look after the people they care about. They focus on the needs of others and establish routines to help them meet their commitments.


Nurturers are the most likely group to say they prefer a job where the same thing happens every day, according to a UK survey.

Nurturers remember details that are important to them, such as their friends' birthdays and anniversaries. People with this personality type value others' feelings and may challenge behaviour they think is insensitive.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Nurturers may feel bitter and seek support by complaining to their colleagues. Under extreme stress, Nurturers may become preoccupied with the worst possible outcome and believe that they are heading for disaster.

Because they are so caring and loyal, Nurturers run the risk of being taken advantage of.

Nurturer Careers

Nurturers are often drawn to jobs that allow them to help others.

It's important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn't feel restricted by our results.

When the going gets tough... ...

When the going gets tough: Do you get days when you have to stay back at work cause you have a lot of things to do, and have to be done soon? Impending datelines that you have to fulfill that come at you all of a sudden and force you to give your full attention to it?

People who work in the IT line (and probably other lines too) should have more than enough experience with that.

On days like that when you get emotionally tired and stressed, wouldn't you love to just listen to music and relax after that, or receive encouragement or some form of push from the people close to you? Or otherwise, just for them to leave you alone so that you can handle yourself and your responsibilities without any extra stress?

I do. Usually I hope for the last because it's too rare for me to get any of the other choices. Except from some people, whom I sincerely am grateful for (oh, how I enjoy talking to those who always emit that positive aura whenever I've got a lot on my hands)

Tough + Tough days: On terrible days like those, don't you just positively hate it when people start scolding you for staying late, telling you that you're supposed to do this and that, and that you don't manage your time well, basically that it's because of something you do that caused you to have to stay late (those that give you the impression that they're saying it's your fault that you're staying late, and that something you're doing is wrong instead of moving forward) Or when you bump into those people that start blaming everything and everyone one around you for your predicament. (oh, I know some people prefer this option. I'm just not one of them.)

If it's online I'll probably just ignore that person (know how they say you shouldn't focus on the negative stuff yo?), but when it's not as simple as closing a window, it really just tortures you to have to listen to that person (given a choice I wouldn't), and piles up on your emotional stress (sometimes more so than the work is giving you). Especially when you know what they're saying isn't true, and you're just way too tired to bother arguing with them.

When it gets too much for me and that person is really going too far, I will ignore them anyway, regardless. Or just put up a front for them, until it tides over (if I'm way over my tolerance level this never happens though).

My colleague and I were talking about how we seem to have people doing that to us during our worst times, and how it seriously gets on our nerves. I'm grateful for the consistent encouragement that comes in the form of your colleagues though. ^^

Moving on: As they say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".

It's misleading what the 'tough' part really encompasses sometimes, though.

New Site

Yoz people!!

I expect I had a lot I wanted to blog about... But I can't really remember them right now... I decided to post today on this dusty blog, just so I could inform those who're still following me that I have created a new blog for fun/interesting stuff I come across: ~ Sit Back and Relax ~

That does not mean that I am abandoning this blog... Not at all. This blog will be more personal and local, while the other one will be happier and more generic. =x Guess you could just pick which one you want to follow if you're lazy to follow both ^^;;

I'm intending to create a third site soon =x *coughs* ^^;; You'll see. [I don't think most of you will be following that though]
