The world would be a better place if more people:

Used their head.
Had their heart in the right place.

Get to keep your options open.

Which is more true of you?

I come across as reserved and hard to get to know.
Others start to open up more when I am around.

My awareness is naturally focused on:

Reality as it unfolds around me. Impractical abstraction does not particularly interest me.
Thoughts removed from time and place. The here and now does not particularly interest me.

In resolving conflicts, which approach do you more often find yourself taking?

A kind-hearted approach based on personal understanding and good faith.

When cooking a new dish, do you prefer to:

Closely follow a recipe.
Make it up as you go along.

Which is more true of your interactions with people?

Although I enjoy seeing friends one-on-one, I find it more stimulating to hang out with several people at once. The more, the merrier!
Although I enjoy the liveliness of a group setting, I tend to seek out one-on-one conversation and often end up in one even within a group.

Which is more true of you?

I prefer communicating at face value, and I don't tend to assume something that wasn't said.
I read between the lines, and I feel I know where people are going before they are finished speaking.

Which statement do you agree with the most?

Feelings are irrational and have no place in truth-seeking.
Logical analysis is a valuable tool, but some people seem sadly oblivious to its limitations.

I am more:

Product-oriented. I focus on what needs to be done, and I impose the necessary structure to get it done.
Process-oriented. I resist structure I see as suffocating, e.g. by not allowing for new information.

In a meeting, which is more true of you?

I like to collect my thoughts and know which point I'm going to make before I start speaking.
I can talk and think at the same time - in fact, talking helps me to think.

I enjoy a party more if:

I find myself engaged in intellectually stimulating conversation with someone who 'gets' what I'm saying.
We are letting loose and having fun - maybe dancing or playing a game.

When others communicate, I more often get distracted when they:

Demonstrate disregard for others' feelings or unawareness of their own feelings.
Make errors of logic or fact.

Which is more true of you?

I make explicit and detailed agreements about who will do what when, and I expect people to stick to them.
I prefer to let developments arise and then react spontaneously, and I expect others to be equally adaptable.

After a dinner party, others would be more likely to complain that I:

Talked too much and dominated the conversation.
Didn't talk enough and left it to others to keep the conversation going.

In school, which kind of teacher frustrated you more?

Vague teachers who expected students to magically infer what to do and the criteria for success.
Teachers who were not sufficiently expansive and who stifled creativity.

A friend is distressed by a conflict for which you think she is partially responsible without seeming to acknowledge it. Do you:

Find yourself so sympathetic to her distress that you may find yourself glossing over what she did wrong?
Have to bite your tongue to withhold your criticism until after she is done venting her feelings?

As a leader, are you more likely to be evaluated as:

Wishy-washy and ineffective.
Bossy and inflexible.

Which more often happens to you?

Someone asks me a question and doesn't give me enough time to think of an answer before they resume talking.
I ask someone a question and get impatient when they don't answer right away.

What goes through your mind when you hear other people brainstorming new ideas?

I first and foremost am stimulated by whatever originality they bring to the table, and I feel inspired to contribute an idea of my own. Sometimes I forget to take important facts into account until someone else brings them up.
I first and foremost want to address the obvious practical problems associated with each idea. Of course I welcome quality innovation, but I get impatient with starry-eyed dreaming which in fact contributes little of real value.

I am more often dismayed because someone is being:

Cold and offensive.
Illogical and emotional.

I more often feel the urge to roll my eyes when others:

Don't have their act together.
Are inflexible and lack spontaneity.
