I recently went to a seminar for work, and was asked to take a personality profile test, along with hundreds of other Maximized Living employees. The speaker who headed up this test asked us to stand in groupings according to our scores. When my group was called, only one other guy and I stood. The speaker continued to tell a story of how he has been giving this test out since the early 90's (by the mid 90's he had already tested over 70,000 people), and has only had a handful of people stand up for this score. The speaker looked back over to the two of us, and said, "I have never had a girl stand up for this. Ever." Needless to say, I introduced myself to him after the meeting, and explained to him a little bit about my life that made me who I am today. He embraced me in awe. It was strange. I am guessing that you are wondering what my score meant? I am classified, apparently, as an "expert" and a "mastermind". An "expert" is likes routines, guidelines, and precision. They need things explained to them clearly and then they run with it. When someone breaks a routine without a logical explanation, it drives an "expert" crazy. Now, a "mastermind" is the complete opposite of an "expert". They hate guidelines, fly by the seat of their pants, and are very scattered. They get bored easily and need high energy activities to keep them entertained. Somehow, I possess in my one mind, these two conflicting personalities. When I was saying goodbye to the speaker, he stopped me and said, "It's lucky you are pretty, because if you weren't society wouldn't be as apt to accept your personality in our society." I laughed, and frowned, and walked away perplexed. Was that a compliment? I moved passed it. After taking in everything that I learned, I have found it eye opening when it comes to my romantic life. I wonder if this is why I hardly ever get asked out. Am I too strange to comprehend? Do I come across as bipolar (not in "Dear Lord, put her in a psych ward." way) In a way this is terrifying. On the other hand, I love that I am so different. That I walk to the beat of my own Hippo dancing around. Whoever takes me as their own is going to be a very unique person, and I am thankful that I believe in God and that He will lead that man to me, or else, I would be screwed.
A special to thanks to my mom, who always told me I was special.
