This is the best description I have come across so far:

What’s it like to be you?
The quest for more knowledge, the meaning of life, the philosophical
questions—my mind is always occupied, and what’s exciting is when I get
to follow through with an insight and do something. I am an abstract
future thinker, looking at things from different perspectives. I’m about
the relationships and possibilities and enjoy anything with deeper
meaning that leaves me wondering, with more questions to ask and things
to untangle. Connecting for me means being able to intuitively ask
questions of people to get them to go deeper into the things they are
talking about.

Inspiring others, helping them find their purpose or meaning, being a
different kind of leader from what’s traditional—that’s really
gratifying. I just do that naturally. The challenge is opening up
people’s minds to have their own original thoughts. I’m a listener and
guide.

I think I am a mystery to people. They never really understand me and
part of me enjoys that. More often though, I long to be understood.

I tend to approach my day with a structured way of getting things
accomplished. People see me as organized, thorough, and easy to get
along with, pulling my own weight and eager to help out when called
upon. But I’m not as outgoing or as critical as I may sometimes appear.
I need a balance between people contact and working on creative projects
and will break away from interactions when I get tired out. If I don’t
have some long-term goals, then what’s the point?
The 16 Personality Types: Descriptions for Self-Discovery

I tend to intuitively read people very quickly, but I have to be
cautious not to make assumptions. I’m an observer. I get a feeling when
people are interesting, and I watch from a distance, make some
assessments about the situation, and then approach them and engage in
conversation. I put a little bit out and a little more and see how that
goes. Do I trust and like them, are they who they say? I have a few deep
friendships. A friendship comes best when it is worked to develop that
investment. I quickly pick up on sincerity and withdraw if the person is
superficial or obviously doesn’t care. When I see people who abuse their
power or won’t stand behind what they say, that ticks me off. It’s about
integrity. I feel other people’s feelings, and taking on that burden can
make me too intense and serious, where I can’t be spontaneous and fun
loving.

I like whatever gets us to think beyond the box, where people can
function better because they are not afraid to say things they really
feel. I have a lot of imagination and by and large can amuse myself. I
love independent projects and reading and writing. I do my best thinking
alone, and I like getting out in nature, being alone to go inside and
center myself. I have always been drawn to the spiritual. Everywhere, I
see life in symbols. Symbols give me focus. Sometimes the connections
and perceptions in my mind are so abstract there are no words to
explain. A lot of times I just know something and can’t explain it—a
premonition that’s hard to articulate. If it’s strong I usually say
something or explore where it’s coming from, but I will keep it to
myself if people don’t seem to understand. Informed decisions require
lots of information and looking at a situation from as many different
points of view as possible. I find it amusing, the absurdity in everyday
situations.

It is painful when there is conflict or when I offer advice and someone
chooses not to take it. For me, I have to prepare myself for what is
going to happen so I can either support people in a positive way or get
away and wait out the inevitable heavy duty stuff before returning to
fix things. How will it impact me and the people in my life? Will it put
me in another place or another level where I can grow more? Not knowing
the right thing to say and do is stressful.

Everything revolves around growth. Caring is about the ability to help
others grow. What I bring is caring about people, not things. If we
spent more time trying to understand each other’s point of view, to> communicate more effectively, we would grow. In an honest, open, sincere
relationship, I can accomplish anything. My challenge is to create those
kinds of relationships. I respect most the person who is willing to come
forth and be an individual—to make the world a better place, or make a
difference in a person’s life, where we reach each other’s hearts.

hell fire and brimstone

July 3, 2008 @ 2:10 pm

I have been thinking about all my really pouty blogs on love and right now I just don’t feel down on that, if fact I’m pretty damn optimistic and not b/c of my relationship or the changing wind, but just b/c things are starting to make sense to me and I understand the nature of things and the cycle of circumstance and mood. No doubt human beings are so very disappointing but they are also inspirational and at times smell good.ha.
I am amorous and will cling to it as long as the mood strikes me.
