So I took another of those personality profile tests and the results came through.
The test was similar to Myers-Briggs and based around Carl Jung's models of psychological typology. Apparently, the results offer me a framework for better self-understanding and development.
To summarise:
-I am logical, critical and ingenious, but tend to be convinced only by reason.
-I am not comfortable expressing my inner feelings to strangers.
-Many people see me as self-contained.
-My quest for knowledge can be very theoretical and I will not trust ideas until I have tested or experienced them.
-I express affection non-verbally and appreciate others' company on an abstract level.
-I prefer the dialogue which is going on in my head with my internal critic to participation in meaningless social chit-chat with others.
-I am puzzled why others see me as rigid and intractable.
-I will make a good lifelong friend if the conditions of friendship allow me complete independence and the freedom to withdraw as and when necessary.
-I tend to be influenced by the idea rather than the person behind the idea.
-I apply unrealistically high standards to myself.
-To communicate effectively with me you should talk quietly and not touch me.
Hmm, I sound like the love child of Spock and the Terminator. Thanks, Carl, lots of areas for self-improvement there, think I'll start by taking that Hawaiian shirt back to the shop.
