I was checking out this Luminosita blog on LiveJournal (out of curiousity, since I used the same name for my own blog on Blogger). There I discovered a link to this personality test.
According to the test, I am an idealist. I never thought of myself as that but a lot of the description rings true, it seems reasonably accurate. I will have to get H to do it and see what it says about him!
The Idealist
You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world. Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships. It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close. But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.
In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards. You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.
At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values. You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.
How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual. When other people don’t get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak.
