E-Harmony?!
So I was bored....and decided to do a profile on e-harmony.com. Here's what they have to say about my personality.
Overview
You have a strong sense of humor. You usually know when to lighten a difficult situation, amuse and entertain people.
You have to be with people. This extends into the need to gain popularity, achieve social recognition and influence those people around you. The "bottom-line" is a strong people orientation.
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.
Communication
You can generate enthusiasm in yourself and in other people. Your enthusiasm, often contagious, involves many people in a social activity who might not ordinarily become involved.
One of your great strengths is your ability to communicate and talk readily. Since all strengths may be overused at times, you may sometimes talk too much.
You show sympathy to the feelings and needs of others. Your natural empathy style may draw others to you.
You have a natural, outgoing style that some have labeled as the "natural salesperson." You are generally likable, talkative and socially assertive. Your primary intent is convincing or persuading people.
You are a natural communicator. You love to talk, offer jokes and make sure that everyone is having a good time. This trait is especially evident at functions and outings.
Strengths
You take pride in being very loyal to friends and family.
You are excellent at listening to the concerns and ideas of others.
You are good at helping others to reach their goals.
You are good at reconciling (i.e. you don't like to sulk after a conflict is resolved).
You tend to be a very calming influence in heated situations.
You tend to work hard at making sure that other people are happy.
You are very sincere in actions and words.
You are very supportive of other people.
You are a dependable and caring partner.
You are socially poised and people-oriented.
You are generally very patient with people.
Needs
A predictable environment with few surprises that are not "planned."
Sound relationships which form naturally, and are not contriving or scheming.
Security for now, and in the future.
An environment free from conflict or hostility.
Time and opportunity to weigh pros and cons of decisions.
Support of your ideas and dreams.
An audience to perform to and entertain.
Recognition of skills and ability.
A friendly, favorable social environment.
Equal relations with others.
Interesting? Yeah I thought so too. Hmmmmmmmmmm....
