Speculation About My Personality Type

       I have had close to zero experience with personality tests. I’ve taken a few of those quizzes in magazines that are supposed to tell you which celebrity you are most like or something dumb like that, but never ones that give serious insight into your personality. Based on what I’ve read about the four personality temperaments, I think I am definitely an Idealist, and a combination of the sub categories of Healer and Champion. I mostly fit the characteristics of an idealist: I have always been interested in self improvement, I hold myself to very high standards, ethics and morals are very important to me, and I like to think of myself as being loving, kindhearted, and authentic. I am like a “Champion” in some ways because I am very excited about life in general and I want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world, although I am not particularly spontaneous or dramatic, as champions are supposed to be. I am like a Healer because I can seem shy around others, I have a deep commitment to personal standards of right and wrong, and I feel like the world is full of wonderful possibility and potential good. I feel a very strong personal responsibility to use what I have been given to help others.


       The personality type that I am closest to besides Idealist is Artisan. I love art, and I can be very creative, and I like to work with my hands, but many of the other traits do not fit me. For example, I do not pride myself on being spontaneous, bold, or unconventional, and I tend not to trust my impulses.

       Next in line would be Guardian. I love to be trustworthy and dependable; I try very hard to always do what I say I’m going to do. I also take my responsibilities very seriously, and I tend to think in more traditional ways.

     I think I am least like a Rationalist. I do not spend a great deal of time trying to solve problems, and I don’t think I have what people call a “scientific mind”. I think life is about much more than logic. I don’t think of myself as strong willed, and technology is not my forte. I’d like to think I’m rational, but Rationalist I am not.
