I'm a skeptic


So I took this 2 hour personality profile assessment at work (as part of the Leadership Academy). I got the results back today. Somethings I agree with....but one part of it I don't. It was totally accurate on the following:
1) "Take advantage of coaching on some of the more complex numerical calculations you may encounter." Math is a four letter word in my book!!
2) "You have a highly positive attitude concerning risk, change and unexpected challenges." Bring it on, baby!!!
3) "You prefer direct and to the point communication and may avoid spending time on small talk and social amenities." - you should see me at Ward activities...I tend to run and hide!

Now for the "I totally disagree" part....
1) You tend to prefer solutions that are not risky and that have been proven to be effective in the past." Helllllooooo, can anyone say "trail blazer"??
2) You are careful in asserting yourself (true, but when I'm interested ...watch out), tending to be more of a follower than a leader " false, false false!!!

Okay...now for the final summary (which I think describes me perfectly)!
"Your interest results are focused in the Creative, Technical and People Service themes. This is the pattern of an individual who enjoys the creative aspects of dealing with people and technology or theories. One would expect such a individual to be drawn toward technical opportunities, especially as such technical information applies to the service and improvement of people's lives. You are likely to be attracted to the opportunity to use creative thinking toward such endeavors."

Maybe you all see me as the report does....why are my "little feelings" hurt??

By the way...the photo is from the other day...7 inches of snow....I had to work and missed it all.
