• How would you describe yourself? (includes strengths and flaws):
Ipersonic:
Analytical Thinkers are reserved, quiet persons. They like to get to the bottom of things - curiosity is one of their strongest motives. They want to know what holds the world together deep down inside. They do not really need much more to be happy because they are modest persons. Many mathematicians, philosophers and scientists belong to this type. Analytical Thinkers loathe contradictions and illogicalness; with their sharp intellect, they quickly and comprehensively grasp patterns, principles and structures. They are particularly interested in the fundamental nature of things and theoretical findings; for them, it is not necessarily a question of translating these into practical acts or in sharing their considerations with others. Analytical Thinkers like to work alone; their ability to concentrate is more marked than that of all other personality types. They are open for and interested in new information.
Analytical Thinkers have little interest in everyday concerns - they are always a little like an “absent-minded professor” whose home and workplace are chaotic and who only concerns himself with banalities such as bodily needs when it becomes absolutely unavoidable. The acknowledgement of their work by others does not play a great role for them; in general,they are quite independent of social relationships and very self-reliant. Analytical Thinkers therefore often give others the impression that they are arrogant or snobby - especially because they do not hesitate to speak their mind with their often harsh (even if justified) criticism and their imperturbable self-confidence. Incompetent contemporaries do not have it easy with them. But whoever succeeds in winning their respect and interest has a witty and very intelligent person to talk to. A partner who amazes one with his excellent powers of observation and his very dry humour.
Adjectives which describe your type: introverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, analytical, intellectual, sceptical, pensive, critical, quiet, precise, independent, creative, inventive, abstract, eccentric, curious, reserved, self-involved, imaginative, unsociable, determined, modest, careful, incommunicative, witty
Also, my Myers-Briggs personality:
Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self -- always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.Idealists are sure that friendly cooperation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. Conflict and confrontation upset them because they seem to put up angry barriers between people. Idealists dream of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and they have a unique talent for helping people get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things.
Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere. More often, however, Idealists are the very soul of kindness. Particularly in their personal relationships, Idealists are without question filled with love and good will. They believe in giving of themselves to help others; they cherish a few warm, sensitive friendships; they strive for a special rapport with their children; and in marriage they wish to find a "soulmate," someone with whom they can bond emotionally and spiritually, sharing their deepest feelings and their complex inner worlds.
Introverted, theoretical, logical, spontaneous, rational, analytical, intellectual, sceptical, pensive, critical, quiet, precise, independent, creative, inventive, abstract, eccentric, curious, reserved, imaginative, determined, modest, careful, witty, kind, sweet, gentle, quiet.
Enegram Type:
We have named personality type Three The Achiever because when they are healthy, Threes really can and do achieve great things in the world. They are the "stars" of human nature, and people often look up to them because of their graciousness and personal accomplishments. Healthy Threes know how good it feels to develop themselves and contribute their abilities to the world, and also enjoy motivating others to greater personal achievements than others thought they were capable of. They are usually well regarded and popular among their peers, the type of person who is frequently voted “class president" or “home coming queen” because people feel they want to be associated with this kind of person who acts as a stand-in for them. Healthy Threes embody the best in a culture, and others are able to see their hopes and dreams mirrored in them.
Threes are often successful and well liked because, of all the types, they most believe in themselves and in developing their talents and capacities. Threes act as living “role models” and paragons because of their extraordinary embodiment of socially valued qualities. Healthy Threes know that they are worth the effort it takes to be “the best that they can be.” Their success at doing so inspires others to invest in their own self-development.
Threes want to make sure their lives are a success, however that is defined by their family, their culture and their social sphere. In some families, success means having a lot of money, a grand house, a new, expensive car, and other status symbols. Others value ideas, and success to them means distinguishing oneself in academic or scientific worlds. Success in other circles might mean becoming famous as an actor, or model, or writer, or as a public figure of some kind, perhaps as a politician. A religious family might encourage a child to become a minister, priest, or rabbi since these professions have status in their community and in the eyes of the family. No matter how success is defined, Threes will try to become somebody noteworthy in their family and their community. They will not be a “nobody.”
Everyone needs attention, encouragement, and the affirmation of their value in order to thrive, and Threes are the type which most exemplifies this universal human need. Threes want success not so much for the things that success will buy (like Sevens), or for the power and feeling of independence that it will bring (like Eights). They want success because they are afraid of disappearing into a chasm of emptiness and worthlessness: without the increased attention and feeling of accomplishment which success usually brings, Threes fear that they are nobody and have no value.
The problem is that, in the headlong rush to achieve whatever they believe will make them more valuable, Threes can become so alienated from themselves that they no longer know what they truly want, or what their real feelings or interests are. In this state, they are easy prey to self-deception, deceit, and falseness of all kinds. Thus, the deeper problem is that their search for a way to be value increasingly takes them further away from their own Essential Self with its core of real value. From their earliest years, as Threes become dependent on receiving attention from others and in pursuing the values that others reward, they gradually lose touch with themselves. Step by step, their own inner core, their “heart’s desire,” is left behind until they no longer recognize it.
Thus, while they are the primary type in the Feeling Center, Threes, interestingly, are not known as “feeling” people; rather, they are people of action and achievement. It is as if they “put their feelings in a box” so that they can get ahead with what they want to achieve. Threes have come to believe that emotions get in the way of their performance, so they substitute thinking and practical action for feelings.
Threes report that when they realize to what extent they have adapted their lives to the expectations of others, the question arises, “Well, then, what do I want?” They often simply did not know; it was not a question that had ever come up before. Thus, the fundamental dilemma of Threes is that they have not been allowed to be who they really are and to manifest their own authentic qualities. At a young age, they got the message that they were not allowed to have feelings and be themselves: they must, in effect, be someone else to be accepted. To some degree, all of the personality types have been sent the same message, but because of their particular background and makeup, Threes not only heard it, they began to live by it. The attention they received by performing in a certain way was their oxygen, and they needed it to breathe. Unfortunately, it came at a high price.
Positive adjectives: Determined, serious, diligent, teasing, playful, sweet, kind, gentle, cheeky, intense.
Negative adjectives: I can become too focused on things, too serious. I can also become too introverted, too into myself.
• What are you passionate about? Love, music, beauty, movement, all the ideals of the asthetic movement.
• Pet Peeves? Alcoholics, drunks, rude people.
• What are you not so good at? I don't believe anyone's bad at anything. I just think they haven't tried hard enough.
• Do you have any talents? Supposedly I have a beautiful singing voice; I used to do classical voice and opera when I was younger. I'm also ridiculously athletic, so most sports come just naturally to me. I'm not exactly the dumbest doornail and skipped several grades to graduate early. (Ugh, I HATE this question. Makes me feel like a pompous braggart |D -headdesk-)
• How do you view love? Love is real, and love is everything.
• Are you more trusting or more cynical of others? Oh, I pretend to be all cynical and nasty but I actually trust quite easily.
• How do you view friendship? Friendship can keep you stable. However, sometimes I don't want to be stable. I'm a loner by nature, even though I have millions of friends I can call on, I prefer my own company.
This or That
Determined or laid back: Determined.
Impulsive or Cautious: I can be both, but more like cautiously impulsive. I plan if I'm going to be impulsive, if that makes any sense whatsoever XD
Optimistic or Pessimistic: Optimistic, but I love a dark dark dark sense of humor, a sardonic or deadpan joke. I like to pretend I'm pessimistic sometimes just for a laugh.
Mature or not so mature: Mature.
Confident or Insecure: Confident.
Brave or Coward? Brave.
Night or Day? Night.
Home or Adventure? Adventure.
What is your style in fashion? Strong, androgynistic, minimalistic.

What do you look for in a mate? Intelligence, kindness, chivalrousness, a sharp wit and sense of humor, and the ability to percieve people.
If you could change one thing about you, what would it be? I wouldn't. Faults build character.
A quote/lyric/song/saying that's important to you?
'We make her paint her face and dance, if she won't be a slave we say that she don't love, if she's real we say she's trying to be a man, by putting her down we pretend that she's above us.'- John Lennon's 'Woman is the Nigger of the World.'
THE ACTRESS:
• Favorite movie she was in? Audrey? Got to be 'La Mome', Rachel? 'Sherlock Holmes'.
• Least favorite movie this actress was in? I actually didn't like Audrey in 'Coco Avant Chanel', I was suprised. For Rachel, I actually was never a huge fan of 'The Notebook', just because her character I always found slightly irritating to tell you the truth.
• Favorite character? -pokes above-
• Least favorite character? -pokes above- XD
• Favorite outfit actress has worn in a film or on red carpet (photos/links to pics are definitely acceptable)? In 'Coco Avant Chanel', Audrey wears this lovely striped top and trousers, while in Sherlock Holmes, Rachel wears this gorgeous purple dress.

• What's your favorite couple she's been a part of (can be canon or fanon)? Why? Rachel and Ryan, definitely, and I loved Audrey as Edith with Marcel. The scene where he dies is possibly the saddest in film history.
