Learn Your True Personality With Keirsey

Keirsey? What’s a Keirsey? Is that like a sweet fried bun? No … Not even close. David West Keirsey is a world renowned psycologist who, simply said is damn good at what he does. Now, the interesting thing about him is that he worked a lot with troubled people. Through his work he developed a rather interesting ‘quiz’. This quiz is not just any ol’ quiz though. It is The Keirsey Temperament Sorter (KTS-II)

This quiz a must take quiz if you want to understand yourself better. Best of all it is not a ‘fake’ quiz like we see on Facebook or MySpace. It was developed through and by using years of experience and work. So what does it do? Simple (sort of).

It tells you what kind of ‘temperament’ you have. Are you a idealist? A artisan? A rational (person)? Or maybe even a guardian? You’ll have to take the quiz to find out. But hold your horses! This ‘quiz’ is that not shallow. Within each major category it hold several other sub-categories. Each of this is much more defined and accurate. For example, this is part of what it says about a Idealistic Teacher:

Even more than the other Idealists, Teachers have a natural talent for leading students or trainees toward learning, or as Idealists like to think of it, they are capable of calling forth each learner’s potentials. Teachers (around two percent of the population) are able – effortlessly, it seems, and almost endlessly-to dream up fascinating learning activities for their students to engage in. In some Teachers, this ability to fire the imagination can amount to a kind of genius which other types find hard to emulate. But perhaps their greatest strength lies in their belief in their students. Teachers look for the best in their students, and communicate clearly that each one has untold potential, and this confidence can inspire their students to grow and develop more than they ever thought possible.

If you are an Idealistic Teacher, you are in great company such as the great Pope John Paul II. Of if you’re a Guardian Protector:

We are lucky that Protectors make up as much as ten percent the population, because their primary interest is in the safety and security of those they care about – their family, their circle of friends, their students, their patients, their boss, their fellow-workers, or their employees. Protectors have an extraordinary sense of loyalty and responsibility in their makeup, and seem fulfilled in the degree they can shield others from the dirt and dangers of the world. Speculating and experimenting do not intrigue Protectors, who prefer to make do with time-honored and time-tested products and procedures rather than change to new. At work Protectors are seldom happy in situations where the rules are constantly changing, or where long-established ways of doing things are not respected. For their part, Protectors value tradition, both in the culture and in their family. Protectors believe deeply in the stability of social ranking conferred by birth, titles, offices, and credentials. And they cherish family history and enjoy caring for family property, from houses to heirlooms.

As a Guardian Protector you’re along side with Mother Teresa.

This will open your eyes to some things you may not have seen, or you knew where there but couldn’t put a finger on. Really worth your time. You can sign up for the test, which is free, and get a result back. If you want more detailed results you can opt to buy extra ‘reports’ on the quiz you took. Your choice and you are not under any obligation to do so. I took this and I have yet to receive any spam or anything bad from them at all.

Have fun and I hope it can help you grow as a person. You can register direct at this (http://www.keirsey.com/sorter/register.aspx) link.
