Worst traits:
A bit compulsive – which sometimes means that I focus on things that seem to not be the most important.
I think too much – which leads to me occasionally over analyzing things to death. Worrying over things that others would have enough sense to let go of.
A very long memory for details – which sometimes means I have difficulty letting go of hurts – even when I know I need to move on.
I like to do things myself – be self reliant. Which sometimes means I fail to ask for help when it would be wise to do so.
I am rather assertive and am willing to lead both in formal and informal settings. Sometimes this crosses the line to being a touch bossy.
I know my own mind. Which means I can be opinionated. Forceful and passionate in the expression of my beliefs/thoughts – this can be off putting to those who are unsure of themselves or unwilling to argue their own point.
I take myself rather too seriously. I need to learn when to lighten up. I am working on this.
I have a terrible time recalling jokes generally.
I am very hard on myself. I expect the best from myself – really all the time. And I do not cut myself slack. I also am impatient with those who do not seem to have pride in their own work or craftsmanship, or simply do not seem to care enough to try to do better.
I am overly self critical. Where others see beauty, I see rather vague unobjectionable attractiveness. Where others see remarkable competence, I see ordinary skill sets. Where others see unusual talent or giftedness, I see the application of determination and hard work over many many years.
I become infuriated with those who do not take me seriously or who treat me as less than. They may not be aware of this fact, as I will work to outmaneuver them to achieve what I believe are the correct outcome for the greater good in spite of them.
I take things that matter seriously. I am a serious person. This is can be a bit off-putting for those who would rather joke and tease. Sometimes I can’t tell when someone is teasing.
I can be hurt by things that others will brush off as inconsequential.
I believe that words matter. Which means I will take your words to mean what they mean. And I will try to use the word that is as precisely accurate for my intention. I am teased that my vocabulary exceeds most others and this is off-putting or elitist.
I am strong willed, occasionally defiant.
I sometimes appear aloof to others. Which makes some think I am tougher than I actually am. I have a very tough appearing thin veneer, but underneath I am all heart and softness.
Best traits:
I am reasonably smart, love to learn and am curious about all things.
I am competent in many areas and value this. I am constantly trying to master more skills.
I am a loyal and caring person. If I know you well, I will know that something is wrong from across the room and this will matter to me. I won't try to fix you, ever. But I will try to be a sounding board... if you want this. I am sought out for advice. I am known for being able to keep confidences.
In spite of the fact that can be rather serious, I love to laugh and I can be playful and easy going too – especially if I am in a setting I am comfortable in.
I have a rather large vocabulary, however it is never my intention to talk down to others. I like to to be precise when I speak and write.
I am collaborative in my working style. I care about what others think and tend to work for the best outcome for all involved. However - I care more about what is the best outcome for everyone than making sure that no one's feelings get hurt. I tend to listen and carefully craft my response... not in a calculated way; but in a way that will be effective and condenses what has been said already or provides a coherent counterpoint that has not yet been raised.
I am deeply passionate about things. Many things. I am outspoken.
Arguments and proposals will be reasoned. Logical. I do not promulgate things "just because it feels right". If it turns out that my reasoning is faulty because I have lacked facts then...my mind can be changed. I will not dig in my heels when faced with new information ~ in fact, I can turn on a dime when new information changes and upends my original reasoning.
I am analytical and understand how to work to get things done.
I am remarkably persistent and patient.
It takes a lot for me to give up on a cause or on a person once I have decided they are worth my energy.
I am fierce in my love and in my loyalty.
I value closure and good endings. I am straight shooter and will tell you the truth. I find manipulation to be generally unnecessary.
I am generous with my time and my energy and my money to people and causes that matter to me.
I may be able to articulate what I believe, but I do not believe I have the corner on TRUTH. I love intelligent and thoughtful dialogue that forces me to have to more clearly articulate my positions.
I am ridiculously devoted to the bioregion of the country I am privileged to call home.
I am strong willed. Fearless.
I am particularly good at seeing the big picture in my work setting and in things that matter. Thinking and problem solving out of the box.
I am comfortable in my own skin. I like my own company. I pay attention to things that others seem to miss. I can tell you the phase of the moon, the tide cycle and what is blooming just outside.
Once you earn my friendship, people tell me I am as warm and loving a person as they have ever met. And yes... unnervingly passionate...about so many things.
