A few things I've learned about myself today:
Achiever (is this why all of my plates are always full?)
"Achiever describes a constant need for achievement. You feel as if every day starts at zero. By the end of the day you must achieve something tangible in order to feel good about yourself. And by “every day” you mean every single day—workdays, weekends, vacations."
Hmmm, no wonder I'm so tired!
"You work very hard to complete each task on your “to do” list, and you always have a long list. In fact, at the end of the day some achievers add to their list all of the unexpected tasks they’ve accomplished, just so they have the satisfaction of crossing them off the list."
It's scary how true this is, in fact I checked off taking this test on my to-do list! I've even checked off "lunch" because I needed to feel like something was getting done...oy.
Learner (well, I love it enough to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars the past 3 years...)
"Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes."
Check, check and well, still working on undergraduate...guess this fits in with my insatiable drive to achieve (see above)!
Empathy (I am a tad sensitive...):
"You can pick up on the pain and joy of others — sometimes before they express it. Other people feel heard by you and experience your compassion."
Is this why I cry at commercials and everything else?
Intellection:
"You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective." True true!
"Keep a journal and take time to write regularly. These ideas will serve as grist for your mental mill, and they might yield valuable insights. Writing might be the best way to crystallize and integrate your thoughts." Whaddya know?! I love journaling! And have since I was in elementary school! Though, I'm not sure where all my "valuable insights" are...
Input:
"You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information—words, facts, books, and quotations—or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs." Wow...yep, my room is full of collectibles, I just finished scrapbooking which is my 8th album since 8th grade, and is this why I can't THROW ANYTHING AWAY? But that napkin...it reminds of that dinner with friends!! No don't toss that toothpick I got that when we went on our road trip!!
What are your strengths?
Okay friend...I talked to a fellow card maker, and she sells her $3 per card. I'm thinking if you'd like a set of 4 cards, I'll sell them for $10 (which ends up being $2.50 per card). I saw your comments about ones you liked.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you let me know what kind of cards you want (thank you's, birthdays, a mix) and then I'll make you some fun ones based on the cards you commented on :)
If you're not interested at this time no worries...but if you want cards soon...just let me know :)
Maybe I'll get on etsy too (good idea!) :)
