(Select the one statement that feels most powerful for you and representative of you in some way). I am very rational. I believe what I can see. I am willing to be flexible in my beliefs, especially if someone I care about has strong feelings about the topic. I believe that I can do anything I set my mind to. I believe that it's all about being yourself! If you ask me, creativity and emotional connection are among the most important qualities one can have. I believe what can be proven. And I will go find the answers if I don't trust what's in front of me. I believe that you never give up on someone or something you've committed yourself to. I believe having fun and being spontaneous are the keys to enjoying your life. I believe that having control of yourself and your environment will ultimately lead you to peace, happiness and success. I believe in giving a little more than I get. I believe in caring for other people and I am more than willing to sacrifice myself in order to make someone else happy - especially when I care about that person. I love the idea of being seen as: Laid back, easygoing and cool. I'm a total flower child! Confident, powerful and strong. I am a bad ass and I'm proud of it! Spontaneous, popular and fun. I'm the life of the party! A ride-or-die person who will never let my friends down. They need me, I'm there. Smart, perceptive and innovative. You need answers? You call me. I'll always find out the truth! Artistic, creative and emotionally connected. I'm the artsy visionary-thinker in the group. I color outside the lines and I'm proud of it! I live and breathe creative energy and I hate to be slowed down by the little details. Loving, generous and dependable. You can always count on me to help you in your time of need! Ethical, caring and a leader. I'm steady and strong. I'll always do the right thing, and I'll show you how to do the same by setting a good example. When it comes to dealing with conflict and confrontation: I stay in control and rational. I argue with facts, not emotion. I am willing to bend or completely change direction if needed. I care less about winning than I do about keeping the peace. I rarely seek out or start a confrontation, but believe me, if you bring it to me, I'll finish it. And I'll win - every time. I might be a little dramatic or loud at times, but not without good reason. I will find out the truth and present you with solid evidence. I rarely lose an argument because I do my research and know my facts. I stick to my story. I know what happened or what my intentions were, and I stand by it. I cannot stand confrontation! It's so negative. I usually find myself getting distracted or zoning out when a confrontation happens. I prefer to avoid it altogether if possible. Confrontation is no fun. If I'm being honest, I am pretty skilled at confrontation. I kind of enjoy dealing with it. It feels like a challenge that I am always ready to accept! I HATE confrontation and literally will do almost anything to avoid it! If other people are dealing with conflict around me, I do my very best to smooth things over. People sometimes tell me I should be: More assertive and better at setting boundaries for myself. They say I should stop letting people walk all over me. More laid back and less controlling. They feel threatened by my powerful personality. They say I am too intense. More focused and less scattered. They feel annoyed by my lack of organization and struggles with time management. They think I need to say NO a little more often and that I "do too much." More relaxed and less worried about everything. They feel like I don't trust them because I have a lot of suspicions and worries about what they're doing. I worry that I will be betrayed and this makes them feel like I don't trust them. More faithful and less analytical. People accuse me of overthinking everything and of not just trusting what they tell me. They say I need to let go and accept things for what they are - but something in me needs to understand the truth. More calm, less sensitive. They think I'm too dramatic or hyper-sensitive. They say I take things personally when I shouldn't. But I see through the BS and I know when it really IS personal. More chill and "go with the flow," less aggressive. They think I worry too much about how people see me and that I'm too aggressively focused on getting what I want. What they don't see is that it's exactly that drive that makes me who I am! More focus on myself, less being a martyr. People are always telling me to slow down and take care of myself. But who's got the time? I'm always taking care of everyone - and to be honest, I prefer it that way! More willing to bend rules, less rigid in my beliefs. People can't understand why I'm so committed to sticking to the rules and doing everything ethically. I can't stand people who think they're above the rules and apparently my tenacity annoys them. When it comes to the emotions of my friends and family members: I do my best to understand them and support them within my understanding of the world. I will bend over backward to help anyone deal with and manage their emotions, especially with those I care about, but even sometimes with perfect strangers. It's both a gift and a curse at times. I try to not let them affect me directly, but I will also do anything I can to help them, within reason. I might try to listen and help if I can. But honestly, I have enough of my own drama and I can't always handle someone else's. I am happy to listen to their emotions, because it helps me understand them better. Sometimes I even research psychology in order to better understand them. I am there for anyone I care about - I will ALWAYS have their back. Even if it means I have to sacrifice my own comfort or happiness! I try to listen and help, but I can only stand to hear someone complain for so long before I need to clear my head of all that negativity. I prefer to feel happy if possible! I try to listen and will offer my advice if asked - and my advice is always on-point. But it's like I always say - if you ask for my advice and you don't don't take it, don't come crying to me when you screw it all up! I will not only listen to your problems and worries, but I will help you develop a plan that works for all involved to fix everything. I gotchu. What is most important, in your opinion? Hard work, ethical behavior and dedication to your goals. Love, helping others and being generous with your time and resources. Making things happen, winning and looking darn good while doing it. Being unique and different, creating beautiful things and standing out above the rest. Finding out the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Get the facts straight! Loyalty to the people you love and trust. And that loyalty should go both ways, always. Having fun and feeling good! Life is all about exploring and enjoying the journey. Being powerful, being a solid leader and keeping yourself in control at all times. Life is all about knowing what you want and going after it relentlessly! Peace, love and getting along with your fellow humans. It's all about finding your flow and keeping the peace. When it comes to learning new things: I am always open to new things and new ideas! I challenge you to prove me wrong. I'm willing to listen to your ideas and I don't challenge them, even if I secretly disagree. Mostly because arguing is not fun for me and also because it's not that big of a deal to me. I'm often suspicious that people are trying to pull the wool over my eyes, so it's sometimes hard for me to trust new information and outlandish ideas. I don't blindly trust anything I'm told. I always find out the facts before making a decision on accepting new information as valid. I am willing to listen to new ideas and information, especially when it seems to complement what I may have already suspected or when it sounds reasonable to me. I try not to judge - I mean, I hate when people judge ME. And that happens more often than I'd care to say. I am willing to bend and learn new things, especially if adapting will help me be more successful in whatever I'm trying to achieve. I keep my mind open and I'm always willing to try and understand someone else's ideas. This is especially true if I am able to help someone by learning something new. I cautiously consider new ideas and while i may make a point of understanding them, it doesn't mean I'll actually believe them. I know what's true. Ready to send
