Participants share their experiences with the test, discussing the geometric shapes they identify with and how these shapes relate to their personalities and organizational styles.

Discussion Character

  • Anecdotal
  • Opinion-based

Main Points Raised

  • Another participant mentions being a circle/squiggle or circle/triangle, noting that both descriptions fit them well.
  • Several users mention taking the test multiple times and receiving different results, indicating a complex personality.
  • One participant expresses confusion over their results, stating they are a box-squiggle-triangle but feel the descriptions do not fit them well.
  • Another participant identifies as a pure circle, stating it accurately reflects their personality.
  • One participant shares their experience of being a rectangle, commenting on the indecisiveness associated with that shape.
  • Another participant describes their results as a triangle, which they felt did not fit them well, but later identified as a circle in a square.
  • Several participants express enjoyment of the test and its fun nature, despite some inconsistencies in results.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Views differ among participants regarding the accuracy of the test results, with some feeling the descriptions fit them well while others express confusion or disagreement with their assigned shapes.

You've always been a circle/squiggle to me, but you, like me, probably waver back and forth daily. I tend to switch to squiggle/circle some days, other days I'm pure squiggle.You can tell the days I'm pure squiggle - the Saturday I wrote 'Twas the Saturday Before Christmas was one of those days.

That's a very unusual combination but probably perfect for this business!

That's me alright unusual!!! :D
 
Apparently, I'm a box/triangle. The descriptions of each don't fit me that well. Many of the questions I couldn't really relate to so I had to answer what I thought might be the answer. I've never really worked in an office, my purse is my briefcase (not that I know what would go into a briefcase), etc. I'm really not very organized. I do like things to be set as far as a home schedule, but only when it relates to my kids. I don't like anyone telling me when things have to be done. I'm a "fly by the seat of my pants" kind of gal. Now, I'm just confused. Maybe, I'll take it again like Rae did.

Okay, so I just took it again. This is the response I received:

You appear to be a COMBINATION of more than two Shapes.
You could be quite a complex person, or perhaps you haven't given enough thought to the questions!
Try completing the Questionnaire again.

Now I'm a circle triangle. I guess I'm just a complex person or just really moody!

After reading the profiles I am definitely a rectangle with a little bit of other things.

I'm a circle...that's all! :) Fits me very well too! I plan on taking it again later to see if it says the same thing, but I think it's a good description of me and my personality! :D
 
I think we need to put pics of our shapes as part of our visible profiles. Nt to replace the avatars, but in addition. :)
 
Okay - for you Ann, my profile is listed now in my signature!:D
 
Thanks, Becky.
But I think it would be cute if some artistic type came up with some drawings.

My first thought? How artistic does someone need to be to draw squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and squiggles?:D

What we need is someone computer savvy to figure out a way for us to actually put the shapes in our signatures!:thumbup:


Hmmm, who (Ann) could that be???
 
Okay, I'll put mine in, but it's constantly changing: that is even in the description of the rectangle!

Yeah, and they think "I" need to make up my mind.

After a few more times through, squiggle came up the most frequently in mine...although I probably have tendencies of other groups as we all do.

Myers/Brigg is the ONLY test I've taken many times that shows a consistent result for me.

...bet you can't guess what M/B personality I am! (Yes that is a challenge to you all...it should be easy).

hmmmm....my guess for MB is ESFJ

OOPPPPSSSS!!! That's mine!

as for the shapes, I'm a box...which I am not sure I agree with since I don't and never have worked in an "office" setting and alot of my questions revolved around that setting.
BUT, weight watchers would let you know that I am the shape of a box right now, but am working on becoming a squiggle!
 
I'm a circle.....

Petition the sysop to allow graphics in sig lines. They are currently not allowed here, but vBulletin does have that option.
 
I am a circle in a box.
Most of the description fit me, with a few exceptions!
That is cool...thanks KG!

(BTW- after reading all of your responses, I went back and took it a second time...got the same results!)

You're half right. ;)
 
I'm a slob! :sing:
 
I am a rectangle...which pretty much fits. I especially liked the part in the description about being in a constant state of transition between the other shapes.

I'm trying to remember slob in geometry...

Area = pi r in face.
 
So just for fun (and because I'm waiting for the dryer to get done and I'm trying to get sleepy) I took the test a few times and I am...
a circle
a rectangle/squiggle
a box
a circle again
Everything but a triangle.
Oooo... dryer just buzzed! Gotta run.

So, your dryer is a circle? :confused:
 
I have to agree about some of the questions not fitting It's hard to decide yes or no if it's a maybe or sometimes. I must have had a blonde moment all 4 times I took it because I just did not get the question about weekend breaks being spent abroad? I need to get rid of the highlights maybe.

Apparently I'm a circle since it came up 3 times and a triangle only came up once and didn't fit me at all. Pfftt I already knew I was a circle...I have a full length mirror. :P

It can be whatever shape it wants, provided it does the job I want.

Stuff is out of the dryer, but in true disorganized fashion, just in a basket in the basement and certainly not folded. I'm feeling squiggly!

That sounds more like you're well-rounded.
 
I am a rectangle
 
Ok, I find it interesting that the first time I took it, I was pure squiggle, second time pure triangle, and this time pure circle...no half and half with me but apparently I change color (shape) with the mood/question. My hubby is a triangle, but not quite obsesive enough to take it more than once...yet, I bet I catch him doing it at work tomorrow!

lol That's a nice way to put it. This business certainly hasn't helped that any and the Christmas goodies thread on here is even worse!
 
This time I was a circle/squiggle but I love the comment
"In an ideal world, you would not have to work at all...you would just play all day." Isn't that what we all do? I consider my job "playing!"

Like I said earlier, most everyone on here will be a circle, squiggle or rectangle. Boxes and triangles don't have patience for "...this kind of foolishness!"
 
Hi, my name is Becky, and I am an obsessive test taker!:balloon: I keep taking it - looking for new questions to pop up......I keep bouncing between a squiggle, and a circle/squiggle ~ but I think I am more of a circle/squiggle - the profile fits me better, or at least, the squiggle profile has more question marks. Like wearing all black - NOT me! Or buying books and not reading them - DEFINITELY NOT me! I read everything I can get my hands on - and usually 3-4 different books at the same time!Anyway, I am comfortable with my squigglishness, and like being well-rounded, so I guess a circle/squiggle is where I'll stay!And for the record - with Myers/Briggs - I'm an ENFP.
