I recently stumbled across the following three personality assessment questions. I didn’t come up with these, though the expression of the ideas are my own. You may have seen one or all of these before, but here they are again:
Which shape are you drawn to: Circle, Square, Triangle, or Squiggle Line?
ASSESSMENT:
| CIRCLE | Optimist. Artistic and expressive. Spiritual. A communicator. Intellectual and philosophical. You pursue understanding. |
| SQUARE | Organizer. Planner. Structured. A precisionist. Detail-oriented. Perhaps you view yourself as a triangle, but others see you as the square. You pursue order. |
| TRIANGLE | Leader. Executive. Aggressive. Confident. Decisive. You pursue power. |
| SQUIGGLE LINE | Innovator. Creator. Original thinker. Dynamic. You pursue fame. |
Do you prefer to live near the sea, atop a mountain, on a farm, in a big city, or in the jungle?
ASSESSMENT:
| NEAR THE SEA | You value energy, spirit, and a sense of humor. |
| ATOP A MOUNTAIN | You value aesthetics, artistry, and fortitude. |
| ON A FARM | You value kindness and generosity. Rational in thought. |
| IN A BIG CITY | You value that which benefits you. You value utilitarianism. |
| IN THE JUNGLE | You value independence, diversity, spontaneity, and adventure. |
On the table there’s soup, salad, bread, vegetables, and dessert. Disregarding propriety, which dish would you prefer to go for first?
ASSESSMENT:
| SOUP | Principled. Respects social rules and regulations. |
| SALAD | Traditional. Conservative. Prefers the classics. |
| BREAD | Embraces the ups and downs that come. Rolls with the punches. |
| VEGETABLES | Gratitude for your blessings. Practical. |
| DESSERT | Unconventional. Fun-loving. Needs freedom. Free-spirited. |
Me? I’m a Square who would like to live on a Farm and even if propriety didn’t matter, I would go for the Soup. Basically, my responses to the three questions all confirm that I am straight-edged and uptight.
