"Well? Shall we go? 'Yes let's go.' They do not move." - Samuel Beckett

Well, I've done it. Check out what it says about me ...

You are an Experiencer

Although you have an active imagination, you also concern yourself with the functional elements of things. You are willing to experiment to find things that work the most efficiently. Getting stuck in certain habits is boring to you—you'd rather find new experiences. Accordingly, experiences are more important to you than objects—you'd rather spend your money and energy on events and adventures than on material things. You like to contemplate a lot of options before making a decision, and you're willing and able to consider a lot of different angles to problems. You're open to suggestions, and often rely on others to assess the merit of those suggestions. You have an ability to see the big picture—not just how things are, but how they could be—in a variety of situations. You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well. You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule. You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style. You tend to believe that things happen for a reason, and that not everything is under our control.

If you want to be different:

Have faith that your imagination and practicality will complement each other, and lead to good decisions on your part. Take the initiative in seeking things out—don't wait for them to come to you.

You are Advocating

Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING. Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people. One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others. You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them. You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily. Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others. Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.

If you want to be different:

While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occasionally to put yourself first. Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort. When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.
