I am an artist

Apparently. An encouraging artist to be precise.

I stumbled across a site today, whilst blog hopping (no idea if this term exists but it should), which, like many, many similar sites out there, assesses your personality type. However unlike the majority of those sites which just seem to skim the surface Personal DNA seems to delve a little deeper, not much LOL, but a little. And I also really like the interface, the way in which all the questions are asked and the different interactions there are to answer those questions. I particularly liked the little bucket things, reminded me a little of the question 'is the cup half full or half empty?'.

So I took the test. Well, you have to don't you? It is quite lengthy, 10 pages worth but fairly quick to whizz through and this is some of what it threw back 'About Me':

Your appreciation of beauty, ability to think abstractly, and innovativeness make you an ARTIST.

Never one to be tied to a particular way of doing things, you let your
imagination guide you in discovering different possibilities.

You would rather seek out new experiences than stick to your everyday habits, taking in as much of the world as possible.

Your eye for
beauty and your willingness to consider different perspectives make
your creative efforts interesting - even though you may not realize this
yourself.

You prefer to think about things before voicing your opinion, considering a wide, diverse range of options.

While there are forms and styles that you prefer, you tend to keep an open mind when it comes to your artistic preferences.

You are curious about things, interested in the "why" more than the “how.”

You have an active imagination that leads you express yourself in a distinct way.

You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

Generally, you
believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play
a limited role in determining what happens to you.

There is also a section on 'How You Relate To Others' and thoughts on how you can be different (do I want to be?).

And they also provide a very pretty coloured personal dna map which you can link to on your blog post (in either a block or bar format). If you hover over the various colour sections it will tell you which trait that colour represents. I like this, it's like my own little personal bar code!
