Wow...taking an online quiz(love those things), and the question here is "You trust reason more than feelings." (Yes or No). That's a really difficult one, because while I place a lot of faith in my reason, I also act off of instinct or my intuition. And it's not that I don't trust my feelings, per se. I mean, if my mind is telling me that I'm sad, I very much trust that I'm sad. What is sadness besides feelings? Now, I don't trust that I should be sad, so, it's a difficult thing. Or maybe, I do trust it, because if I am sad, then there's probably some reason for it, if nothing other than over-reacting hormones or whatever it is. But if that is the case, then that doesn't mean I shouldn't be sad, right? It just means I shouldn't turn emo over it. Not that I should turn emo in any case, but I think you get that. Anyways, continuing on with the quiz...
Bleah, stupid questions. They should have a neutral possibility, rather than forcing you to choose. For example: " You feel more comfortable sticking to conventional ways." Umm, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. It depends on the situation.
Well, this is me: "Playful and fun-loving, the Performer' primary social interest lies in stimulating those around them, arousing their senses and their pleasureful emotions-charming them, in a sense, to cast off their concerns and "lighten up." Representing about ten per cent of the general population, Performers radiate warmth and optimism, and are able to lift others' spirits with their contagious laughter and their irrepressible joy of living."
What do you think?
He he, I think this could be used to describe some of my friends :):
"SPs sometimes think and talk in more of a spider-web approach. Several of my ESFP friends jump from thought to thought in mid-sentence, touching here or there in a manner that's almost incoherent to the listener, but will eventually cover the waterfront by skipping on impulse from one piece of information to another. It's really quite fascinating."
I love it when people do that. Yeah, I really do.
