Not sure if it's on-target or not. I'm an introvert, but I like being out among people--think walking through the convention center and people-watching, sitting in Peet's and listening to conversations at other tables. There's people-watching and being with people--two different things.

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

HFPS - The Humanitarian

Humanity, Foreground, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

Do you feel it's accurate? Sort of? Not at all? Not willing to commment?

NBPC - The Daydreamer

Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color

NBPC - The Daydreamer

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

As always in these things, I find it's partly accurate but leaves out *a lot*. I answered leaning towards my admitted sensitivity to color and to Nature, but "find comfort in more subdued settings"??

I think the Big Picture part is accurate. Shape? It's fair. I will say that I picked buildings and structures as favorites in the photos because I thought about going inside and looking around, or because I was thinking about who may have lived there. I do tend to deal with what comes my way--no choice. As for the structured environment? Depends what's meant by structure. I would like to have my life arranged to the point that unpleasant surprises--medical, financial--are minimized, but wouldn't everyone? I don't like timetable structure, but I do like accomplishing things and I do like to have a purpose. If I liked things to be predictable, would I want to write for a living? I would like as much to be predictable as possible, with wriggle room. Because I like having options.

It's like reading a horoscope to me. The results I received can sometimes apply in a given mood...sometimes not. I could also say your results were 'me' as well.

A fun quiz though, I'll give it that.

Yes, very much. In any horoscope (well, most) there's *something* that clicks, and it's easy to fix on that and forget the part that doesn't.

For me, the "subdued" thing doesn't fit...nor does "going with the flow." Self-perception may be wrong, but I value and enjoy intensity (in color, in activity, etc.) rather than "subdued" and if there's a flow I'm usually swimming against it or at least across it. Or, as a friend once said, when I said I was hoping things would quiet down for awhile "If things did quiet down, you'd stir them up!"
