4. Are your personality features consistent or do they change according to the situation?
For the most part, I am who I am, and do not fluctuate one way or the other; however my overall
outlook on life and how I conduct myself has changed over the past 20 years since my first marriage.
I learned a hard life lesson; I let the person to whom I was married define who I was and not me being
who I truly was. Personalities can change from one extreme to the next for the simple fact that it may
have stemmed from some difficult situations in the past or in my case the constant influence of others.
5. Have you ever taken a personality test before? If so, what was your reaction to the
analysis? If not, what would you expect a proper test to measure?
I took an ethics lens inventory a few years back and the analysis was a half and half reaction.
Some points did not surprise me at all while others I had not true idea of how I was perceived by
others. My values are simple. Independence, equal opportunity, level-headedness and a deep
sense of feeling are for me a scale or balance. The best course for me is to be consistent and
flexible in my thoughts and actions. One thing is for certain I am not one to give up in the face of
adversity. Obstacles that stand in front of me are just one more reason to try, try again. I have
been referenced to the childhood story of the tortoise and the hare. Steadfastness will always win
the race.
