Or which traits don't describe you.

Mine would be:

And why do you think those describe your personality?

Because those are the personality traits that I've chosen to focus on and develop.

Wow I must say all of them reflect on me at one point or another throughout my lifetime.

I think each of us has these personality traits occassionally depending on what we go through in life.

It is a great list you have shown here.

Sshhh! I stole it from some parenting website or something!

for me:

Industriousness: Being consistently active and getting work done.

Work Alone: Does projects independently, without any significant amount of contact with others.

Initiative: Starting thoughts and/or actions.

Adaptability: Making changes when necessary.

Responsibility: Being accountable for duties and following through with your duties.



why? i guess they are inherent qualities rather than developed ones, but i find that i'm quite a loner who has a hard time sitting still and doing nothing, while still having the flexibility required for change, even on short notice.

Well, it was impossible for me to choose only 5. I think the above either already describe me or they are things that are most important to me and things I work on. I think the first 3 I've achieved, for the most part. Adaptability, patience and calmness, those are tough for me. Self-reliance, that is getting there, my confidence in myself has grown immensely in the past 3 years. And knowledge, well, that is ever evolving, I will never achieve that, nor do I wish to. When I stop learning, I may as well die.

Good stuff! I am really this its neat for you all to be decided to share your 'personalities'

Loyalty
Open minded
Compassion
Independence
Knowledge

Any why?

Because I am loyal, open minded, compassionate, independent and constantly strive to acquire knowledge. It was tough to limit it to just to 5.

You could choice more than 5, it was only a suggestion.
