A great book recommended by Arthur Yap!
Understanding your personality, since its one of the few books that Arthur HIGHLY recommended, i started to read a little about it.. getting the book soon!!! ;)
I got a chance to do the test from pin's book, and realised that i'm quite a weird person.
There are only 4 personality types : Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic.
Sanguine: Oh how the world needs the Fun Sanguine. The lift of joy in troubled times. The touch of innocence in a jaded era. The gift of humor when we're heavy hearted. The enthusiasm and energy to start over and over again. The creativity and charm to color a drab day. The simplicity of a child in complex situations.
Choleric: The firm control when others ar losing theirs. The cut of decision for foggy minds. The grip of leadership to head us to the good. The willingness to take a chance in a doubtful situation. The confidence to hold true in the face of ridicule. The independence to stand alone and be counted. The road map to life when we've gone astray. The urge to "take arms against a sea of troubles by opposing them."
Melancholy: The depth to see into the heart and soul of life. The artistic nature to appreciate the beauty of the world. The talent to create a masterpiece where nothing existed before. The ability to analyze and arrive at the proper solution. The eye for detail while others do shoddy work. The aim to finish what you start. The pledge "if it is worth doing, it's worth doing right." The desire to "do all things decently and in order."
Phlegmatic: The stability to stay straight on the course. The patience to put up with provokers. The ability to listen, while others have their say. The gift of mediation, uniting opposing forces. The purpose of peace at almost any price. The compassion to comfort those hurting. The will to live in such a way that even your enemies can't find anything bad to say about you.
i did a short online version at http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9136838767038250566
The book version is more complete, of course. Get that book! ;) OR borrow from the lib!
I am a Melancholly
28% Sanguine, 50% Melancholy, 21% Choleric, 35% Phlegmatic
With the offline book version,
I am a Sanguine,
13 Sanguine, 5 Choleric, 12 Melancholy, 10 Phlegmatic (over 40 questions)
I have Melancholly strengths and Sanguine weaknesses.
i did the book version twice, online version twice as well.
Each time is almost the same. And according to the quiz, Sanguines and Melanchollies are complete opposites!!! No wonder i always find problems trying to figure out whether i'm extrovert or introvert, displaying different personalities with different groups of people...
It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to have such types...!!! That means, i'm rare. ;)
So this year 2008, i decided to really strengthen my melancholly strengths and reduce my sanguine weaknesses.
Pin's a true blue Sangunie-Choleric (she scored 16 S, 23 C, 1 M and 0 P!!!!), and with my Melancholly-Phlegmatic side, will complement each other in our Franchise Trading biz! ;) Arthur (S-C) and Mei Yap (M-P) are like this too! Too bad pin's a gal...hahaAHA~~* A fury lady with alot of drive in fact. hahAAHa~~*
