nothing short of a personality.

Over the past few years, I've heard of these personality tests... mainly from people at The Stone. Back in the fall, a friend gave me the Strengths Finder book (with the code to take the test online) and I decided to go ahead and do Your Unique Design on my own. I really like both of these tests... just because it helps you to define your personality and strengths. I'm a sucker for these random quizzes... an absolute sucker. Thought I'd share my results... because I think both test results are pretty spot-on. And that's just awesome.

Your Unique Design
100% Harmonizer
This is the warm, nurturing and affectionate part of your personality that expresses
love and concern emotionally through soft words, reassurance, permission, affirmation and appropriate
touch. Your Harmonizer offers emotionally expressive, feeling-oriented, unconditional love.
This is the strongest part of your personality. You can draw on these abilities at all times and have the
least chance of experiencing stress and moving into negative behavior when the tasks at hand call for
this part.

57% Persister
This is your protective part that evaluates and avoids danger. The Persister part of your
personality is value-driven, measuring everyone and every experience against an internal system of
your beliefs and standards.You have fair energy available in this part. You can call upon these traits for a moderate time as long as you continue to meet the needs of the lower floors of your Personality Structure. You must still return to those more familiar floors to energize yourself on a regular basis and ongoing basis.

57% Energizer
This is the playful, emotional, and spontaneously expressive part of your personality.
Much artistic expression and creativity comes from the Energizer part. Your Energizer cries, laughs,
sighs and jumps for joy. This part allows you to express anger in healthy ways, without attacking or
blaming someone else, and to experience and express deep grief or sorrow over losses and
disappointments.You have fair energy available in this part. You can call upon these traits for a moderate time as long as you continue to meet the needs of the lower floors of your Personality Structure. You must still
return to those more familiar floors to energize yourself on a regular basis and ongoing basis.


Strengths Finder

Empathy
senses the feelings of other people by imagining themselves in others' lives or others' situations. 
don't confuse with sympathy.

Strategic
 create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.

Positivity
enthusiasm that is contagious. They are upbeat and can get others excited about what they are going to do.

Developer
 recognize and cultivate the potential in others. They spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from these improvements.

Adaptability
prefer to "go with the flow." They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.


Have you taken either or both of these tests? If so, what were your results? And do you think they were worth you taking??

  1. I did StrengthsQuest about a year ago and really liked it. I love learning about all the different personality types and felt that it was pretty accurate. I liked Strengths because it adapts the various traits of the characteristics to your personality (i.e. my description of discipline will not be the same as someone else's...pretty cool).
    Here are my strengths:
    Connectedness | Consistency | Belief | Responsibility | Discipline
