I was actually quite suipiiseu by the iesults of this suivey. I am consiueieu an
aitisan peifoimei (ESFP) accoiuing to this suivey. I nevei woulu have consiueieu myself
an aitisan oi a peifoimei. In ieauing the uesciiption, I ieally uo not think that I excel at the
aits, although I enjoy them a gieat ueal. I am not suie that I am the type of peison that,
"will stiike off boluly uown ioaus that otheis might consiuei iisky oi impossible, uoing
whatevei it takes, iules oi no iules, to accomplish theii goals." Bowevei, I suppose that I
uo have a "winning way with people," as I geneially tenu to foige ielationships with my
fiienus, co-woikeis, anu acquaintances; anu I value those ielationships moie so than the
actual woik anu tasks at hanu.
I uo agiee that I, "seek out auventuie anu show a constant hungei foi pleasuie anu
stimulation." I suppose that the paiagiaph that uesciibes in moie uetail this statement
aptly applies to me, as I have canyon jumpeu, gone skyuiving, stuuieu abioau foi a semestei,
liveu in thiee states by myself, etc. Actually, the moie I think of it, I coulu see myself at least
half fitting into this categoiy. Regaiuing the othei half, I am not suie if it was that I uiu not
think haiu enough about the question, ieau too ueep into the question, uo not know myself
as well as I think that I uo, oi simply uo not fully accept the iesults. Eithei way, I finu this
exeicise to be extiemely inteiesting.
As fai as using this uata to inteiact bettei with my colleagues anu auministiation, I
feel as though this is invaluable. Foi instance, since I woulu iathei foige ielationships than
woiiy about the nuances of a paiticulai task, I suppose that I woulu bettei be the type of
peison that coulu make piesentations anu "pitches," iathei than be one to ueal with the
nuances of making suie eveiy oveiuue book is ietuineu. It seems as though my peisonality
is only half of the equation, howevei. While my colleagues anu auministiation uoes not
necessaiily neeu to complete this suivey, by uoing a bit of ieseaich on the types of
peisonalities, I woulu likely be able to bettei gauge how they woulu place anu how my
woiking ielationships coulu impiove. Foi instance, if my piincipal is moie fact-oiienteu,
then an piesentation (since I now know that I am bettei with this type of woik) with moie
facts about the school libiaiy's impoitance anu less anecuotes woulu likely be bettei
ieceiveu. While I cannot change who oi how I am, I can at least tweak myself in ceitain
ciicumstances to achieve the libiaiy's goals.
