Quiz Time

Thanks to Jett for directing me to the Better Personality quiz that had the following to say about me...
.........Wacky 36 - Sober 64
......Rational 54 - Emotional 46
..Constructive 68 - Destructive 32
........Leader 50 - Follower 50

You are an SRCF--Sober Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you a White House staffer. You are a tremendous asset to any employer, cool under pressure, productive, and a great communicator. You feel the need to right wrongs, take up slack, mediate disputes and keep the peace. This comes from a secret fear that business can't go on without you--or worse, that it can.

If you have a weakness, it is your inability to say "no." While your peers respect you, they find it difficult to resist taking advantage of your positive attitude and eagerness to take on work. You depend on a good manager to keep you from sinking under the weight and burning out.

Except for the "White House staffer" bit, I would say that is pretty much right on.
Running a close second was this evaluation...

You are an SECF--Sober Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a hippie. You are passionate about your causes and steadfast in your commitments. Once you've made up your mind, no one can convince you otherwise. Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste.

You do tremendous work when focused, but usually you operate somewhat distracted. You blow hot and cold, and while you normally endeavor on the side of goodness and truth, you have a massive mean streak which is not to be taken lightly. You don't get mad, you get even.

Please don't get even with this web site.

Also pretty accurate. I definitely have tendencies towards both of these. My "leader/follower" score was actually a 50, so technically I could go either way, but the "leader" ones didn't fit. One required that I not care what others think (definitely not the case) and the other require that I be charismatic and gregarious. I don't do either of those very well. So I choose to be a follower who is capable of leading in times of need.
