4 Temperament Results

     After taking the test, it turns out that I am a "Guardian" not an "Artisan". I was fairly close with my guess, but are the tests always right?

     One thing I found interesting was what the test tells about the Guardian. "Guardians have a natural talent in managing goods and services - from supervision to maintenance and supply - and they use their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses."

     I am the music director at my church and I teach percussion classes and lessons, so it is ironic that this test has identified with that aspect of my life.

Hope you found this interesting...

4 Personality Temperaments

     I don't really have any pros or cons when it comes to attribute tests such the personality test. I honestly think that it is just plain, innocent, good fun and shouldn't be taken seriously. I have met people who plan their whole life around different tests. How does a computer know how you are feeling? Sure you answer questions to help determine things, but it can't read your mind and I have read studies that prove that a fair share of people lie on said tests.

     I believe that my test will result in the following order: Artisan, Idealist, Guardian, and Rational. I'm a musically inclined person which would justify the Artisan and I'm not anywhere close to being a Rationalist. I guess in this case, only the test will tell...
