I took a personality test on Facebook recently. What was the result? I am an ‘Idealist Champion.’ I read the description and realized, for the most part, it is true. First, let me share what their definition of an idealist champion is. Then I will try to explain how it relates to me.
You are introspective, cooperative, informative, and expressive. You have a strong desire to make your thoughts known to the world. When you speak or write, you are often hoping to use your convictions to motivate others to participate in advocacy or you hope to reveal a hidden truth about the human experience. You are greatly concerned with ethics and justice and have a strong desire to speak about current issues and events. You are the most inspiring and animated of the role variants.
You are very individualistic and you feel a need to experience significant social events. You consider intense emotional experiences to be vital to life and view the world as a drama. You are constantly seeking to learn about everything that has to do with advancement of good and the retreat of evil in the world.
You strive toward a kind of personal authenticity and this intention always to be yourself is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, you have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significant to words or actions. In fact, you are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape your attention.
You are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. You are warm and full of energy with your friends. You are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in your company. You are a positive, exuberant person, and often your confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.
Famous Champions include Joan Baez, Charles Dickens, Phil Donahue, Bill Moyers, and Edith Wharton.
As with most personality tests I have taken over the years, I always fall ‘betwixt and between’ an extrovert and an introvert. I am usually 50-50 so it really does depend on the circumstance I find myself in at that moment.
The part about experiencing significant social events is not really me. I tend to be a more introverted person when it comes to socializing. I love people, but prefer to interact on a smaller scale. Don’t know that I view the world as a drama, but must say much of my life up to this point has tended to be one. I would not say that I am ‘really good in public,’ due to the introverted side of my nature. I am good on the telephone, though. For the rest of it, I would have to say it fits me very well.
What else is there to share about me? I value my friends highly, as I have said before. A more in-depth look into that would include that I hate to see any of them in difficulty. Emotional, financial, health, and happiness are all areas that I want my friends to experience in a positive and robust way. Realizing life doesn’t roll that way, I send Good Thoughts to each of them for whatever need of the moment they have. I don’t have much, by the world’s standards, but what I do have is so much more important to me. I have faith that all things will work out for the good for my friends. I have love to send them when they are lonely. I have compassion to shower upon them when they are hurting: emotionally, physically, or both.
All these things have been given to me in abundance. I enjoy sharing the riches I have been given to help my friends. It isn’t always about physically being close. Many times it is about others knowing that someone truly cares!
