Have you heard of the Myers-Briggs?
In graduate school I took just about every {legitimate} personality test there is. Partly to increase my own self-awareness, and partly to have experience with assessments I might use with clients. One of those assessments was the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which categorizes personalities into 16 types.
So you are either: an introvert or extrovert, more into sensing or intuition, more about thinking or feeling, and judging versus perceiving. I find the first and last codes most helpful. Do you get energy from being with people {extravert-ME! Hey friends!} or being by yourself {introvert}? And are you super organized, structured, and efficient {judging-oh boy, not me} or spontaneous and unstructured {perceiving}?
This website takes the MBTI codes and puts them with animals, which I find somewhat funny. I'm an ENTP, so I'm a parrot! And the description is dead on. {How can five sentences define me?!} Nick is an ENTJ, so he's a lion. Again, dead on.
Which animal/code are you? Does it fit? What about your friends/family members/ significant others? I think it can be so helpful in understanding things like why Nick puts all the details of our whole lives into spreadsheets...
