Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicates that your personality type is that of the

Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self -- always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.

Idealists are sure that friendly cooperation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. Conflict and confrontation upset them because they seem to put up angry barriers between people. Idealists dream of creating harmonious, even caring personal relations, and they have a unique talent for helping people get along with each other and work together for the good of all. Such interpersonal harmony might be a romantic ideal, but then Idealists are incurable romantics who prefer to focus on what might be, rather than what is. The real, practical world is only a starting place for Idealists; they believe that life is filled with possibilities waiting to be realized, rich with meanings calling out to be understood. This idea of a mystical or spiritual dimension to life, the "not visible" or the "not yet" that can only be known through intuition or by a leap of faith, is far more important to Idealists than the world of material things.

Highly ethical in their actions, Idealists hold themselves to a strict standard of personal integrity. They must be true to themselves and to others, and they can be quite hard on themselves when they are dishonest, or when they are false or insincere. More often, however, Idealists are the very soul of kindness. Particularly in their personal relationships, Idealists are without question filled with love and good will. They believe in giving of themselves to help others; they cherish a few warm, sensitive friendships; they strive for a special rapport with their children; and in marriage they wish to find a "soulmate," someone with whom they can bond emotionally and spiritually, sharing their deepest feelings and their complex inner worlds.

Idealists are relatively rare, making up no more than 15 to 20 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers.

Idealists at Work
Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. They are naturally drawn to working with people and are gifted with helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potential both on, and off, the job.

Conscience looms large for you; in almost any situation, you feel compelled to measure yourself, other people, and the conditions of the environment against your personal morality. You have a tendency to perceive questions of meaning in even trivial matters and to worry about far-flung consequences of your actions. In your ideal job, you are free to pursue depth rather than breadth and quality rather than quantity. You feel rewarded when your projects and daily tasks allow you to immerse yourself in your process as deeply as you "need to" in order to satisfy your inner standards of quality. You are uncomfortable with the notion of authority per se and may avoid leading, as well as being led, either consciously or unconsciously. As you experience them, adhering to fixed roles and rules amounts to an abdication of your responsibility to exercise your conscience.

A couple of weeks ago, a study approved by the Vatican publicized that men are most likely to commit lustful sins whereas women are beholden to pride. Last year the Vatican proposed seven new sins that are seen as more contemporary: Genetic modifciation, human experimentation, polluting the environment, social injustice, causing poverty, financial gluttony and the taking or selling of drugs. Of the now 14-Vatican certified sins, which one do you struggle with the most?

Top Male Sins:

1. Lust
2. Glutton
3. Sloth
4. Anger
5. Pride
6. Envy
7. Greed 

Top Female Sins:

   1. Pride
   2. Envy
   3. Anger
   4. Lust
   5. Gluttony
   6. Greed
   7. Sloth

In case the original 7 deadly sins aren’t enough for you, the Vatican has come up with seven additional
"social" sins to be wary of:


1. ``Bioethical' violations such as birth control


 

2. ``Morally dubious'' experiments such as stem cell research

 

3.  Drug abuse

 

4. Polluting the environment

 

5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor

Okay, when I first heard of these new social sins and degree of sins men and women commit that we should be aware of, I suddenly had a flashback of a certain scene in the movie Dogma where the Catholic church, in an effort to revitalize Catholics to be active churchgoers again, created a fictitious religious Jesus icon named "Buddy Christ" to uplift the image and modernize Jesus Christ, deeming the crucifix image as a "wholly depressing".

They called the campaign "Catholicism Wow!"

Although I know Dogma is basically a parody of the Catholic Church, well, it did strike a nerve to me. I used to like going to our local church every Sunday. It was something I knew I had to do, an obligation I had to fulfill. Now, I hardly go to Church anymore, and it's not because I've lost faith in God, it's because I don't like our parish priest, believe it or not. Every Sunday, he solemnly tries to convince us the importance of modesty, sacrifice, and stay away from the lure of material wealth, then, after mass, he goes to his parish house where his two cars are parked, pats his high maintenance dogs, and enters his very very grand (but modernized) house, while our parish church still looks like a gym than an actual church (despite the second collections). 

What a hypocrite. I travel to another parish when I have time and listen to the mass there.

Got Christ? The Buddy Christ. He's smiling, he's encouraging, he's...cool.

Two ex-newspaper reporters, Christopher Ortiz and David Young, have started Stuff Journalists Like, listing in random order "all the little eccentric silly things journalists like  and things reporters say they hate but must secretly love. Some entries touched a nerve, some were hilarious, and some were just plain sad.

According to one of the creators, Christopher Ortiz, they were writing the site "exclusively for journalists, either by profession or passion."

Take for example, Stuff Journalist Like # 84: Writing Standing Up

"If you ever see someone writing on a steno pad while standing upright odds are they are a journalist.

According to a recent study, journalists write standing up 95 percent of the time. The other five percent is split between sitting and squatting. Journalists like writing standing up because they tend to think better on their feet. Ask any reporter why they got into the business, and writing while vertical is at the top of the list. Journalists like to write standing up in the cold, snow, rain, tornadoes, hurricanes, press conferences, town hall meetings and zombie attacks. Given the option of taking notes while sitting or standing, majority of journalists chose the latter.

The only thing better then writing while standing is writing while walking. It takes years of practice to perfect this technique.  Some advanced journalists are even able to hold a voice recorder while walking and writing, just in case they can’t read their shorthand later. Often walking and writing is reserved for special scenarios where the interviewee doesn’t have patience time to deal with the press.

Be prepared to walk and write if you are interviewing a politician, musician, athlete, coach, lawyer or anyone who doesn’t want to be interviewed. With budget cuts and smaller staffs in the industry, some journalists are also required to take photos, record video, update the web, blog and Twitter while standing and taking notes."

or my ultimate fave which made me crack up but made me go, "hmmm", Stuff Journalists Like #51: Jargon

"On the record, journalists abhor jargon, better known as fancy technical words used to explain everything from bureaucratic processes to police investigations and court trials to economic trends. Editors are always bemoaning the use of it, since journalists' mission, technically, is to make complicated matters easy to understand for readers.

But look at any newspaper article and journalists will have written phrases like "non-life threatening injuries" and "looming fiscal budget crisis" instead of "the guy's going to survive" and "the state's running out of money."

Why do journalists like jargon? Because while it's true that many reporters are learned people, a good number of working, daily-grind journalists graduated from college with a major that probably didn't require much class attendance or brain power. History. American Studies. Liberal Studies. Sociology. And the granddaddy of all the questionable majors, Communications.

It comes down to journalists wanting to sound like they actually learned something in college between the keg stands and drug binges.

Which isn't to say journalists aren't smart. But they're probably more street smart than book smart, so when a journalist is covering something and uses jargon in a story, it's usually explained by two main reasons: there's so much jargon in the subject matter that some of it slips through and using it makes journalists feel like authorities on a subject they've spent half an hour Googling.

Plus, it makes readers think journalists know what they're talking about. So throwing in some jargon is a subconscious way of throwing them a bone. And since journalists are increasingly covering a little bit of everything, they can usually hold a casual cocktail party conversation on almost any topic for about 10 minutes. Go past 10 minutes, though, and they'll most likely try to change the subject."

To love and love others is a golden rule to living life to the fullest. We fall in love, get hurt, and move on. But it's harder when one undergoes that process with someone else that's not your wife or husband.

So build a solid foundation of trust and care while you're still in a relationship, and come marriage and it is jarred loose by a shockwave of adultery, at least that foundation will still be there. Make your wife/husband your ultimate recreational partner. Married couples guilty of committing adultery is rooted to the fact that their significant other has little or no more intimate time for the other anymore owing to either kids, work, or both. It might not be the same as before, but if both parties are willing to make it work, and try to make it work, then it will work.

Love will wane sooner or later in a marriage. You have to work hard to keep it from totally leaving you in darkness.

Marriage is not taking your partner's physical and emotional needs for granted. Marriage is a lifetime courtship

Okay. Intermission over. Back to work.

You are striving for a life full of activity and experience and, perhaps even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.

You are trying to improve your position and prestige - be it in your life or in your workplace. Things are, at this time, OK - but they could be better. You feel that it is essential that you break down any opposition that could possibly lurk in the shadows. You know that you are quite capable of achieving this set goal because you have to and because it is essential to your self esteem.

Conditions are rather confusing at this time. You would like to involved with a particular person or a particular situation butyou are holding back. You find it difficult to make a decision.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.

You really like doing what you do and, more than that, you like yourself. Your attitude to work and to life is that 'If its not fun - then don't do it'. You want to be liked and respected, not for who you are but for what you are - and it seems to be working.
