TheEyesofTheBroken

Aesthetic

I appreciate art, beauty, and design; I know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. I have good taste, and I'm proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.

I don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. I'm not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.

Accessible

I'm comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. I believe that if someone doesn't like what they see it's not my problem, but theirs. A high score on the "accessible" trait suggests that I have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.

I don't see the need to keep my thoughts to myself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only myself and a small circle of friends and relatives.

Rash

I get excited easily, allow myself to react without censoring my feelings, and sometimes blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.

I generally don't consider what I'm about to say before I open my mouth to speak.

Impassioned

I have strong opinions and high standards. When others let me down, I'm not opposed to giving them a piece of my mind, even if it sometimes mean hurting their feelings.

I am not necessarily a "live and let live" kind of person. I don't always make allowances for others' incompetence or allow annoyances to wash over me. I don't feel it's my job to make everyone feel relaxed and comfortable regardless of whether they've earned it.

Volatile

I go with the flow when it comes to my emotions. Whether I'm happy or sad, I show it, and when something upsets me, or I'm feeling stressed out, those around me will know it right away.

I am not necessarily the one person in any group who can be depended on to stay calm, cool, and collected in a crisis; I'm not known for keeping my emotions under wraps.

Innovative

I come up with a lot of ideas; if one doesn't work out, there's always another waiting in the wings. I often have interesting solutions to difficult problems. I'm practically a one-person brainstorming session.

I am less interested changing the world than in dealing with things as they are. Unlike those who spend all their time trying to solve problems, I prefer to zero in on things that work and stick with them.

Irritable

I have my own problems to deal with, and little patience for those who need help to get through the rough spots. Going out of my way to lend a hand not only takes time away from my own pursuits, it ultimately harms those I'm "helping" by insulating them from the harsh realities of life.

I don't need to help others to feel better about myself. It's not my ambition to be known as a major bleeding heart.

Loose

I feel that a clean, orderly desk is the sign of a person who doesn't have enough to do. Schedules and "to do" lists feel stifling; I thrive on a sense that anything goes, and know that the world won't end if I don't clean up after finishing a job.

I don't need to know that everything is in its place; it is not empowering to me to feel that the world around me is neat and organized. Mowing down every item on my "to do" list, every day, does not bring me joy.

Reckless

I tend to give in to my impulses and indulge my cravings. Rather than fight my emotions, I often do what comes naturally, which means occasionally overdoing it, sometimes even embarrassing myself.

I am not good at resisting temptation and avoiding overindulgence; I am not the kind of person who doesn't regret anything I said or did.

Authoritative

I have found that others will often do what I want them to do, without significantly pushing back. I've also discovered that many people will accept harsher criticism from me than they would take from anyone else. Many of those with a high score on the "authoritative" trait hold leadership positions in industry.

I do not want to be in the position of always being told what to do. I don't choose to avoid a confrontation if, through confrontation, I could get my way
