Pairin Personality Test

Hello! This is my Pairin personality test results.

Imaginative-Inspirational

How interesting! I'm not certain I would have self-selected every one of these, but admittedly I don't understand all the implications of each subgroup, nor do I even know what all of the options are.

However, some feel pretty close to the mark. 'Maverick' (despite the Top-Gun-esque name) feels pretty on the money. I really value my independence and minimize my reliance on others and really truly struggle sometimes when I am forced to rely on others (particularly strangers. Many types of Bureaucracy spring to mind). My one nit-pick with this is I don't know why it's my highest-rated trait in this category. As I see it, this feels especially singular in a narrow, constrictive sense. Because of that, it doesn't feel completely accurate. Tests like this presumably have to make cuts somewhere, though. Ah well.

The other one that had some resonance, was people developer. My partner, Rebecca, was looking over my shoulder as I tested, and exclaimed how 'totally YOU' it was. Again, I'm not sure all the implications of the categorization, but at least superficially, it seems a very good match. I really love lifting people up (and do so quite vocally!) and getting a vicarious enjoyment of other peoples success is one of my favorite feelings.

The others certainly aren't 'wrong' per se, but didn't have that same, immediate recognition-of-self.

At any rate, it was an interesting exercise and I am excited to see where the implications lead!
