I've taken this test twice in the past several months....I got the scores saved. First time:
Thinking: Evokateur
Working: Empath
Emoting: Evokateur Second time:
Thinking: Diligent
Working: Evokateur
Emoting: Scintillating I would say the Second one is more accurate, except for the Diligent which isn't like me at all.
Descriptions
THINKING
Dominant Style of Thinking: Diligent
When Diligents start a project, they do so from the
premise of clearly defined problem and set objective.
They then gather all relevant information, organize a
system for its solution, roll up their sleeves, and with
notebook in one hand and pen in the other, begin
working Step One of their plan. Once all criteria has
been met, checked, and re-checked again, they use that
as foundation for Step Two. Detail and data are their
barometer of progress and by criteria of fact do they
measure success. This sequential, methodical, and
meticulous approach is repeated at each level of
development, through to completion. Throughout, they
cannot and will not be rushed. They have developed and
perfected their purely logical, note-taking approach for a
reason: Diligents hate being wrong.
WORKING
When Evokateurs love what they are doing, 'rare' can
and does result--though all else fades in importance.
Particularly the petty and picayune of life, like food,
housing, and clothing. To satisfy those basic life
necessities, Evokateurs, generally, look for
mundane-type 'jobs' they can perform with one eye shut
and mind half alert...like assembly line work.
Predictability and routine allows them to put brain and
body on automatic pilot, while they escape into their
own world, where things are more interesting.
Evokateurs don't 'do' diddly-squat within manipulation
distance of money, or within clutch and grasp of those
who would control their tongue, time, ethics, or
creativity. Most die poor, many are bent and busted
long-before, some die mysteriously, and some all alone.
Especially working-Evokateurs. But whether rich, poor,
bent, busted, or broke, former working-Evokateurs are
much with us today. Their work tends to outlive them,
and is more accessible and more appreciated now, than
it was then. EMOTING
Scintillators filter life through their physical body. Their
life approach tends to be more reactive than
proactive--and can be more harmful than beneficial. Of
all personalities, none hears more often, "...not living up
to potential...," than them. With all their God-given gifts,
such as intellect; physical attractiveness; deftness of
hand, foot, and mouth; kinesthetic memory; robust
constitution; optimistic nature; and energy-sensitivity as
accurate as sonar to dolphin, Scintillators tend to settle
for toe-dipping in life rather than deep-diving
explorations. Why is this personality most likely to: be
'daddy's girl' or 'momma's boy' far into adulthood; be
financially struggling at middle-age; have multiple
marriages and divorces; have addictions to drugs or
alcohol; and be the ones who abandon their children,
physically, emotionally, and financially?...Because
Scintillators subscribe to physical satisfaction, rather than
emotional fulfillment. -Cory
