"The qualities that really count, and the qualities that endure, are those closest to the center of a person's being." -Neil Clark Warren

Alright, you know the E-Harmony commercials on TV? Well, I went to the Website and took the "Free $40 Personality Profile." IT TOOK FOREVER. That is the LONGEST survey type thing I have ever taken. I had to stop and come back to it several times. I enjoyed taking though and actually, I would suggest that you take it too and then you can see who you are. It is interesting. Tell me what you think of my profile and if it fits what YOU think of ME.
I am really looking for feedback on this one guys, tell me what you think...

PERSONALITY PROFILE:

Overview---
>You have a strong sense of humor. You usually know when to lighten a difficult situation, amuse and entertain people.

>You have a strong feeling of optimism, considered favorably by most people around you. Your perception is that the bottle is half-full rather than half-empty.
