My personal DNA

A lot of people around the blog city I inhabit are taking this test, so I’ve gone and done it too. I actually did it on the weekend, when I was spending time in front of the computer doing other things, was told I was a generous experiencer, which I considered to be fundamentally erroneous, so I promptly dismissed it. All my life I have come out so far down the “intuition” end of the myers-briggs-type analyses, as opposed to the “sensing” end, and been the quintessential idealist, that I scoffed at the idea that I was any kind of "experiencer".

But, today during lunch I did it again, fully expecting something different, and I got the same thing. A generous experiencer I must be. However, it seems the test itself hasn’t quite got me pegged: it calls me an experiencer, later tells me I often enjoy things more through observation than through experience, and that if I want to be different I could benefit from a little more experience. (In reality I have done things like setting off overseas by myself for months, without caring too much what came next, and was always called "the reckless one” growing up, so maybe there's a little experiencer in me yet.) Other than that it makes me sound quite promising really; I’m still looking for the negative in my list of attributes. I am sure I went down the "disagree" end on whether or not I am generally satisfied with myself, but I quite like this person. ;)
