shrug Who is to say? I'm probably a bit of both. Every time I take one of these things I get percentages in the high 40's for every aspect and this one is no exception.

1. Dreamy Idealists like you are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. You share your rich emotional life and your passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge you to be cool and reserved. You have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which you are willing to sacrifice a great deal.

As a Dreamy Idealist you are one of the introverted personality types. Therefore you prefer a quiet work environment where you can intensively deal with your responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. You need a lot of time to dwell on your thoughts, to put them into words, and let your ideas take shape. You are grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time to achieve this so you can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a number of responsibilities at once - you donâ€™t like that because it is important to you to deal with things thoroughly. Your capability to concentrate is unusually great and very often you become engrossed in something and forget everything around you - even to eat and drink.

Nevertheless, because you are very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and cooperation, you enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the ability to assert yourself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not your optimal environment. In order to permit you to fully develop your ability you need an environment that is as stress free as possible. If you canâ€™t get that you soon suffer, because you take critique and negative feedback very personally. You enjoy the opportunity for exchanges with other people you value and whose capabilities you respect but in this case remember the motto: Better less than more; better a few â€œhand pickedâ€ colleagues who truly move on your wavelength.

It is best when you share the same high ideals and important objectives and together can fight for the same good cause because then you are truly in your element. If that is not the case, you do better by largely working by yourself because you belong to the personality types who can do that very well and donâ€™t necessarily have to depend on others in order to come up with good results.

3. This assessment only provides a snapshot of your personality type and working style. It's part of the more extensive Humm-Wadsworth Temperament Scale, used internationally to evaluate potential employees. Your Style Individuals with this temperament style are very individualistic, competitive with self and others, striving towards their goals to achieve personal gain. They are shrewd and astute, money oriented and quite sensitive with an eye to the bottom line and the ability to be charming and manipulative in the pursuit of their personal goals and objectives. Strongly independent in outlook, they are able to co-operate with others and win them over when they so desire, but are more concerned with personal than team matters. They work with others only as long as it suits their purpose, and even then prefer to work only with a small team rather than with a large group. They ''manage up'', ensuring they behave in a manner that will enhance their reputation with superiors and those they respect. In their personal life they will be private and not much interested in socializing, except with their family and a few chosen friends, with whom they can become very close. Generally their alliances will be built for strategic purposes. As a result, external social activities for them will be tolerated to gain a business advantage or for political reasons. However, when they put their mind to it, they can be very persuasive and use their insight into others to gain their favour and support. In unfamiliar social areas, they can come across as somewhat socially awkward and even manipulative at times, but they can be very effective in negotiating activities when they put their mind to it, as their sensitivity to people, combined with natural business acumen, gives them a considerable edge. They are independent and form strong opinions, which they will maintain even when faced with contradictory evidence. Although they may seem to ''give in'' when questioned, they will actually hold fast to their own judgments, but indicating to others that they have taken their advice on board for strategic reasons. They do not appreciate criticism, however constructive, and will perceive this as a personal attack which they need to defend, rather than using it to improve. If the feedback is issued by a superior, they will ''smoothly'' accept it outwardly, but inwardly will feel hurt and will sidestep any question of blame, apportioning this to others in order to uphold their own reputation. They do enjoy receiving praise, and will relish this privately and also when it is received in front of a small group of those they wish to impress. Praise issued by persons whom they do not respect holds little meaning for them. While they prefer to work on their own, they can be successful in a small team environment, where they will establish relationships over time and, again, their charm and sensitivity will enhance their ability to run the team if they decide to accept the responsibility. Often, however, they would rather work for themselves or as an independent unit, with a direct reporting line to a senior manager. They are imaginative, can develop new approaches in their area of expertise and could be, for example, a very creative business developer whose primary role is to develop new approaches and proposals to secure commercial successes. Summary and recommended professions A person with this temperament style is a true individualist who likes to do things their own way and has little concern for what others think. They strive for personal success and recognition and will manage themselves to ensure they are the one to benefit. Suitable roles would include: Professional: Investigative Journalist; Lawyer; Author; Professional Musician Skilled: Professional Athlete; Hospitality Consultant
