All about me

[hils]

In a moment of extreme boredom I followed danceswithbeans example and took the personality test at www.eharmony.com

No, I am NOT looking for a new partner. It just looked like fun so here we go.



Your response indicates a strong need to be precise. This projects into the social environment by the need to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

You prefer not to seek quick personal relationships, but rather build relationships slowly. Once your relationships are formed, they tend to be lasting.

You prefer to wait until you're sure of your ground before acting. This might mean after several visits to a new place, or after a few meetings with a new person, you will feel more open to risk or share trust.

You function best in an environment relatively free of conflict or hostility. When tension mounts, you may become silent; and if tension continues, you may withdraw or avoid the situation altogether.

You will generally not act impulsively. As a result, others around you may perceive a slowness of thought or action. This results not from slow thinking, but from complete analysis of the situation before acting.

When a new activity is considered, you may require support or encouragement to participate or perform in the new activity.

You may not jump in immediately for a new idea or activity. You may need time to consider all aspects of the idea before supporting it with time and talent.

You may appear to others as hesitant rather than decisive, although you become decisive once all the facts are gathered and evaluated. You will not make a decision unless certain that analysis is complete.

You tend to think before you act. As a result, the things you do will be purposeful and deliberate.

You will convey patience towards others in most situations. This patience comes from a need to maintain harmony. Others may read this as a strong stabilizing factor in your behavior.

You may be a steadying influence because of your restrained and unassuming way. You usually wait to be asked your opinion rather than offering an opinion.

In new interpersonal situations, you may appear hesitant in relationships with others, and not easily risking or extending trust. This relates to your rather self-contained and cautious manner.

When asked about your opinions, you may not share your ideas or opinions openly with those asking. You remain rather self-contained in social situations. Some may perceive you as aloof, but it's really caution.

You dislike having to initiate new relationships. However, others may seek you out because you are a good listener, quiet and nonthreatening.

You value quality relationships over quantity relationships. While others may boast of hundreds of acquaintances, you will find security in deep relationships with a smaller number of people.

Because you may not call attention to your own accomplishments, you may benefit from others giving recognition to you occasionally. Constant recognition may make you feel uncomfortable.

You usually communicate with others in a reserved, diplomatic and congenial fashion. You are a careful and analytic listener who will generally not offer ideas or opinions unless asked.

Your strength is to bring stability, security and awareness of consequences to activities. In a sense, you may be considered as the one with the "conscience."

You may be passive and even cautious in your behavior toward others. On first meeting people, you may be somewhat suspicious, wanting to be more studying of others than revealing of yourself.

Work to achieve mutual satisfaction.

Prepare your "case" in advance--do your homework.

You tend to have very high values.

You may want:

Scheduled activities with no haphazard or unplanned activity.

No sudden or abrupt changes in the situation.

A feeling of security.

Sound relationships which form naturally, and are not contriving or scheming.

Sincerity offered from others.

Time and opportunity to weigh pros and cons of decisions.
