What Type of Person Are You?

ThinkProgress

Do you like being that way? Does it bring success and happiness?

Have you changed from one type to the other at some point in the course of your life?

Do you wish you could be more like someone else who is the opposite personality type to you?


For me I've gradually become more of a planner... Although I know when to rip a plan up and just go with the randomness of life.

But planning certainly gives me a feeling of having more control over my life. (Even if that might be a bit of an illusion at times)

No - not anymore.

I'm a bollix. Yes. Yes. No. No.

I'm walking chaos

I'm a planner and happy with it most of the time. I can be a touch OCD which I could do without but rather that than be some shambling idiot lurching from one disaster to another. Can't understand how anyone could live like that.

I'll answer that later.

Planner, over organised if anything. Also a bit of a dick head.

Somewhat reckless in my approach to life, but also a deep thinker if that makes any sense.Stangers often perceive me as a 'shady character' but that's due to my appearance,accent and the company i keep.People who know me have no such misconceptions.I'm extremely dapper,my yearly clothes spend is likely on par with Gussy Bismarck's.Im also modest,very modest.

I'm a bit of both, impulsive on a day-to-day basis, but a planner in the long run.

I've had my hospital bag packed and everything bought for the baby since I was about 20 weeks, now I'm getting really impatient'!

brummytom

Disorganised as fúck.

Mesrine65

Obsessive, compulsive reactionary with no sense, rhyme or reason.

A disaster waiting to happen :eek: :pac:

I can tell you I don't have money.
But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career.

Aongus Von Bismarck

I'm hugely organised. I plan my day meticulously, especially when it comes to work. Even though I don't work in a particularly time sensitive area of High Finance I still want to have order and structure. It's why I've been known to rant about our IT department, who seem to operate in some sort of dream world where time and outages don't seem to matter.

I apply the STAR principal to my work: Situation, Task, Action, Result. I also operate a system called Inbox Zero - delete, action, delegate.

I'm much more relaxed out of work. I'm happy to put the phone aside and enjoy a beer with colleagues after work. I'm able to separate the organised and driven Work Aongus from the chilled and spontaneous Home Aongus.

I'm very organised but can be spontaneous enough. In an organised kind of way. It's served me well so far.

I'm comfortable with the way I am and can't imagine and don't want to be any other way. I think everyone changes as they age and grow, but I think your fundamental way of being stays fairly constant, though not static.

Organised and punctual, others say I'm a bit of a messer and never take things too seriously, in other words I'm a tit :P

I'll make one esp for grumpy glaswegians tomorrow!

I HATE being disorganised. I like things just so. I like things laid out neatly and I like things in their place.

And yet, I'm a disorganised impulsive mess.

Ah well.

Life is fun sure.

I have terrible handwriting and very unorganised. I am a compulsive reader and there's books all over my room. Also single and a virgin. A typical synonym for me would be a loser.

I'm impulsively organised, scattered about tidyness and all my cup handles must point in the same direction.
I write lists for shopping for shopping from the menu list for the week, but I'll forget something.
You get forgiven once.
But I'll still love you

I wonder about the handwriting thing... some people say you can tell personality type by someone's handwriting. Clean up your handwriting and you might get laid...? lol

Mine seems to change a lot. My signature never looks the same... Split personality? (probably a different discussion)

I'm like The A Team in that I love it when a plan comes together. But sometimes the plan gets messed up and that's ok too.

It depends on the situation.

Everything has to be perfect. Organised pedantic perfection.
