My therapist had me work through a personality test yesterday. Normally I hate doing them. I have so much trouble answering the questions. "Do you use data to make decisions or go with your gut?" Well, it fucking depends on the situation.
But working through it with her helped a lot and the results were terrifyingly accurate.
it's quite comforting tho. to understand yourself. all the lit she gave me talks about common challenges in work and relationships that this type of personality has. it left me feeling like... more okay with my shortcomings.
A couple of the relationship points that were glaringly accurate:
-Is extremely sensitive to rejection, but no one will know it
-Insist their partner be logical and rational if they are to be convinced of their point of view
we worked though some recurring problems i've had in relationships and was able to find some underlying conflicting personality types.
oddly enough it made me realize how compatible i was with dw. how we complimented each other's contrasting pieces and shared them with the ones that matter.
Apparently the N part of the myers briggs test means i feel connected with people who share my need to make crazy future plans and dreams without worrying about the details. the T part means I think relatively complexly and get excited when someone understands the way i explain things.
That was exactly why I fell in love with him so hard.
therapy makes me wish we were talking. 9 months later and i still haven't found anyone i want to share things with more than him. i wish i could tell him that not everything was either of our fault. that i have some stuff i need to work out with myself but i could be in a place to build something real when i'm done.
le sigh. anyway, the good news is, business analyst was right at the top of the list for recommended careers..
and so was artist :)
