: : SUBJECT: : SUBJECT: Joe : : DATE: 06/28/2000 : : JAN's Lusher PROFILE : : (for Employers) : : Conscious and Unconscious Characteristics and Motivations : : (General Tendencies) : : : : SIGNIFICANCE OF PRIMARY PREFERENCES : : : : This describes the subject's basic personality traits. These traits form the : : image which one projects and which other people see. These basic traits are : : the means or methods of behavior by which one attempts to reach their goals. : : : : From the following section read carefully the personality profile which : : corresponds to this subject's primary preferences. This will give the : : reader this subject's basic personality traits. : : : : A N A L Y S I S * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : This indicates that you may believe you are set-apart and unique from : : other people. This belief may lead you to exhibit vanity and aloofness : : toward others and you may be quite sarcastic when so inclined. : ++Not too far off. I don't think I exhibit vanity (I could be wrong) but I can be aloof. I'm not sarcastic too often, but when I'm in 'attack mode' sarcasm is my weapon of choice. : : You tend to : : be highly sensitive, observant and may be quite temperamental in your : : behavior to the point of immaturity. : ++I am very observant, somewhat sensitive, but I don't think that I'm overly temperamental to the point of immaturity. I tend to be very calm and steady. : : You may be extremely talented : : artistically, but often your behavior is inconsistent or indecisive. : ++I have a lot of natural talented, but tend to be lazy. If "inconsistent or indecisive" can be read to mean that I don't follow through on my projects, then you're right. Years ago a boxing coach told me that I was talented but that I'd never become really good at boxing because I was too lazy. At the time the criticism didn't bother me because I had no interest in becoming a really good boxer, it was just sport. But since that time I've come to realize that this problem has effected in other areas of my life that I do care about, especially art and writing. : : You may be outraged at the misfortunes of humanity, but will be inclined to do : : little about the situation. : ++That's true, again I tend to be lazy. : : You enjoy impressing others with a display of your creativity and authority. : : However, since you are usually quite tolerant, you are an easy person to : : live with so long at there is understanding. While you may confide freely : : with close friends, it is difficult for them to completely understand your : : personality. : ++That's true : : : PRIMARY COLOR COMPATIBILITY : : ___________________________________________________________________________ : : |GENERALLY you should be |You may be somewhat |You may or may not be compat-| : : |more COMPATIBLE with |INCOMPATIBLE with |ible with those who prefer...| : : |those who prefer... |those who prefer... |(depending on circumstances) | : : |------------------------|--------------------|-----------------------------| : : |Yellows |Greys Blues |Reds Browns Greens | : : | | |Purples Black | : : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- : : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : This compatibility aspect of the survey provides vital insight for : : seeking a more compatible relationship (personal and/or business). It will : : reveal people who will likely be more cooperative in a business : : relationship; or in the case of a personal relationship, compatibility. : : : : Page:2 Joe Joe 06/28/2000 : : : : SIGNIFICANCE OF SECONDARY PREFERENCES : : While the primary preferences shows the means or methods of behavior by : : which one attempt to reach their goals, the secondary preferences points out : : what that goal is. Since this real goal (which may or may not be obvious) : : plays a significant role in directing one's actual behavior, the reader may : : have felt that the first personality profile was more or less exaggerated. : : The reader should realize, however, that one's objective or goal influences : : the direction and the degree to which these basic traits are developed in : : one's personality. A knowledge of this subject's basic goal combined with : : their basic personality traits will give the reader a far greater insight : : into this subject. The difference in goals (secondary preferences) also : : explains why two people of the same personality type (primary preferences) : : may exhibit quite different behavior. : : The primary preferences indicated this subject's basic personality traits. : : While the personality profile drawn from primary preference are essentially : : correct, it is very important to also understand the significance of the : : secondary preference and its effect upon this subject's complete profile. : : A N A L Y S I S * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : This indicates that your basic drive is directed toward a desire to gain : : recognition and acceptance of your views as an individual. : ++ I guess this is true, I'm not sure if it's my "basic" drive, but it is a drive of mine. : : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : The reader should now have a more complete understanding and assessment of : : this subject's basic goal(s) and the methods used to achieve that goal(s). : : : : SIGNIFICANCE OF NON-PREFERENCES : : From the Primary Profile the reader discovered indications of this subject's : : basic personality traits and the Secondary Profile indicated the basic goal : : or objective. The Non-Preference Profile is significant because it indicates : : basic needs. If these basic needs are unsatisfied then this factor will more : : than likely cause this subject undue stress or anxiety: : : A N A L Y S I S * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : This represents the absolute; the insolvable mystery of death and eternity. : : This signifies a desire to resist fate -- to be master of your own destiny. : ++ True, at least at times, at other times I "just go with the flow". : : You may resent demands upon you and are determined to surrender nothing. : ++ I surrender a lot, but never anything that is really important. : : Those who attempt to restrict or control your actions are probably going to : : meet with fierce resistance. : ++ Very true : : * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * : : There are over 300 possible combinations for the Primary, Secondary and : : Non-Preferences and over 40,000 possible combinations in the Specific : : BEHAVIORAL TENDENCIES Analysis.

If so it's not true, I'm willing to do without a lot of things, and I am also willing to relinquish a lot. It might be true in reference to prestige or control. : : You doubt that things will be any better in the future : ++ True (at least some of the time), It depends on my mode; sometimes I'm very hopeful about the future. : : and this negative attitude leads you to exaggerate your claims and to refuse : : reasonable compromises. : ++ False, I don't exaggerate my claims or refuse reasonable compromise. : : SUMMARIZED AS: Watchful and retentive. : ++ Watchful yes, retentive, maybe. : : * !! @ : : (you have some behaviors that would be considered as bizarre by others?? Jdb) : ++ I can be original and creative, and I suppose some people might consider that to be bizarre behavior, but I don't think so. I'm not too sure of what you mean by "behaviors that would be considered as bizarre". : : 5.

DISCLAIMER: The representatives or consultants : : or person conducting this survey cannot be held responsible in any way for : : any actions resulting from the taking of this survey. : : : ++ Interesting results, it seems to be more or less true, but I'm still bothered by a system that tries to describe someone by which color cards they pick, it seems too much like Tarot cards or astrology. I'm also very disturbed by the "(for Employers)" statement in the header. Is this test really being used as a hiring tool? I feel that that could be a very dangerous use of something that I am not convinced is a reliable indication of anything. Using a test like this could lead to great injustice in hi
