9 - the Peacemaker
Thanks for taking the test !

"I am at peace"

Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.

How to Get Along with Me

If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.

I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this.

Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.

Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.

Ask me questions to help me get clear.

Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.

Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.

I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.

Let me know you like what I've done or said.

Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a NINE

being nonjudgmental and accepting

caring for and being concerned about others

being able to relax and have a good time

knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around

my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator

my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now

being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a NINE

being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive

being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline

being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally

being confused about what I really want

caring too much about what others will think of me

not being listened to or taken seriously

NINEs as Children Often

feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant

tune out a lot, especially when others argue

are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

NINEs as Parents

are supportive, kind, and warm

are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

Stolen from earlgreytea68. I don't understand that table with the green and blue. But the summary paragraph is mostly true for me. The only thing that I find iffy is that I like things to be predictable...Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Can someone explain to me what the green and blue is supposed to signify on the table down there? Thanks.

NFPS - The Guru
Nature, Foreground, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. 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 nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. 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.

Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.

That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.

Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873)

Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968)

Computer dating is fine, if you’re a computer.

Rita Mae Brown

I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

What animal frightens you most, and why?

View 500 Answers

At first, I was thinking the Sea Wasp, which according to that article is the deadliest animal. However, I think the mighty anaconda scares me the most...feeling my bones crushing to death and my lungs collapsing is quite terrifying. Ew, and then they swallow you whole. Can you imagine your body's outline inside of a snake...makes me shudder. Thank god I am not a zoologist or marine biologist...
