Okay, before I continue, I would just like to clarify that this post has to be taken with a grain of salt. Why? There are just so many of these personality tests and the likes that are going around. Granted that the amount of time and effort put into these studies, I am not going to say that there are no basis for what the classifications state. However, my opinion is that we are the one creation that God has made to be able to adapt to our surroundings, such that we would be able to walk with Him on an exciting journey of dreams and expectations.

That being said, it is always interesting and fun to see what kind of characteristics and traits I have. As mentioned on the blog of a friend, iPersonic is another of such a site that provides a simplified personality test. One thing to keep in mind is that just because such a test puts a label on us, it does not mean that we are strictly confined within that boundary of that label. Rather, I tend to view the various labels as an audio equaliser.

Harmony-seeking Idealist (HI)
Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character. But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.

Harmony-seeking Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one hundred percent – they often become so immersed in a task that they forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often very large professional success.

As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.
