So who am i then? recently as part of my essential 2 programme i had to fill in a mcquaig personality test thing. It took me ages to fill out so i thought it might actually be benificial... like the more these things know about you the more they seem to be correct - well thats what ive found in the past anyway!
However i got the results back on friday and i was actually quite excited... i wasnt convinced they'd be perfect but i was really anticipating a nice little tidy box that they'd put me in that i would be able to say "hey i fit into this box". But actually what i found was that i hadnt fallen into a box, well that i had but it wasnt the right one. The majority of the statements they came out with couldnt be further from the truth. For example one of them was that my natural instinct was to be organised and manage my time effectiffly, but that couldnt be further from the truth... i have to work really hard at being organised and still havent grasped how to manage my time effectivly! so i gave my line manager a copy and asked him to read through bits of it to see what he thought and without me saying anything he asked me if i was the one that had filled it in! - so since friday ive been throwing around some ideas about why this could be... ive come up with this so far... That i dont know who i am so i filled it in to the best i could but because i am unsure of who i am a mixture of answers went down whcih produced a mix up box for me to fit in! - but then that would meen that in order to find out who you are with one of those questionaire thingys you first need to know who you are, which surely defeats the whole point of doing it!!

Ha ha! That's so true!
Hmm it is a tough one and does depend on how the questions are phased. The first time I did a the Houts Spiritual gifts one, my primary gift was administration! I was dumbfounded. When some one helped me understand, I realised that it reflected my life as it was at that moment.
Perhaps because you know you have to work hard at being organised, which means that actually you do turn out to be fairly organised,even if you don't realise it, the 'answers' you gave reflected that?
Stuff happen when you are about so you must be able to pull some things together that end in an outcome :)
