You are a Realist
#
Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function, and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST.
#
Routines are reassuring to you-you feel safer and more at ease when sticking with familiar things.
#
You like to stay close with those around you, seeking comfort from familiar faces.
#
You are interested in processes-how things work, what they do, and why-not just how things look.
#
Sometimes you doubt that you can find solutions to problems, although you have a good sense of why things happen, and can use that knowledge to find the best way to do something.
#
You are down to earth, concerned more with practical, detail-oriented things than with dreamy or ambiguous ideas.
#
You have a good sense of your abilities and weaknesses, and don't let your ego get in your way.
#
You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.
#
You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.
#
You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
#
You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.
If you want to be different:
#
Appreciate that your skill set can be useful in many ways; your attention to detail and your familiarity with the inner-workings of things are valuable assets.
#
Try looking beyond the earthly qualities of things in order to expand your perspective, without losing your grounding in reality.
how you relate to others
You are Considerate
#
You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.
#
You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.
#
You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.
#
Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.
#
Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.
#
Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.
#
You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.
#
Your close friends know you as a good listener.
If you want to be different:
#
Because other people would benefit immensely from your understanding and insight, you should try to be more outgoing in social situations, even when they make you uncomfortable. Others will want to hear what you have to say!
