Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to those in the consultant community who enjoy personality assessments and are curious about how such tools might relate to their work and personal styles.

What's really wierd is I took the test more than once and got a different answer each time. ?? It says that I may be a box or a circle or a squiggly. My husband is DEFINATELY squiggly! Had fun doing this, but dont agree witht he whole Box idea for me. Definately more in the circle category; a little of the squiggly, but some circle, mostly.

Sorry, the squiggle in me forgot the name of the movie. I'm forgetful.
The first time I took it I was a circle triangle. The second time I was every shape but the box, the third time, I was a circle, triangle and squiggle, and then I was just a squiggle, and the final two times I was a circle with a squiggle... Wonder why there isn't an oval? Hmmm I shall ponder that for a while

Grapefruit. ;)
 
You know, KG, you're gonna make the noobs think there's something going on between us. PC isn't that type of company!:D :chef: :)
 
Hmmm, after reading lots of other posts about people's profiles changing all the time - I decided to go take it a few more times.

Didn't change. I'm always either a circle/squiggle or just a squiggle. At least I'm consistent!:)

MEMO​

To: All Noobs

From: Chef Success Manglement and Prominent Squiggles

The only "thing" going on between the above captioned individuals is the exchange of one liners, jokes, puns that reach a minimum groan factor of 2.6 of the Richter Scale and a continual outpouring of foolishness and joking around.

Not to mention, an incredible knack for setting one another up for killer punchlines.

Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't pay their weekly rent and is, therefore, an idle roomer.

Now, take the test and tell us what shape you are.

I used to have one that said:

Inside me is a skinny girl screaming to get out. I ate her.

Mine has changed every time I've taken it! At first I was a circle, then a...hmmm...can't remember but it was two of them & one was a box--rectangle/box maybe?? & today I was a circle/box. Today's description is probably most accurate of me of all three that I've taken.

I think it's always better to go with your first impression. If you consider each question too much, your conscious mind will overrule your subconscious mind, choosing the answer you'd like to be instead of what you are. I'd like to be organized and neat. I'm not. I never will be because it just isn't in my logic circuitry.The real tests usually have the same question asked different ways as a method of checks and balances. There isn't time in something like this, which is just for fun, anyway.When I used Psycho-Geometrics as an ice breaker in my training classes, I presented it the same way Dr. Dellinger does in her seminars. She draws the five shapes on the white board and says, "Look at these shapes and say to yourself, 'If I were one of these shapes, I would be a...' and don't think about it, just choose one."People invariably choose the shape that best fits their personalities. I had a tough time choosing between the circle and the squiggle, which bears out to be true - most days I'm a circle/squiggle and some days I'm a squiggle/circle.I used to work for a true rectangle. The guy couldn't decide what to have for lunch, let alone, make a business decision. Some mornings, he'd come into the office as a triangle, call us all into the conference room and lay down the law.
"THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE AROUND HERE!" He'd outline some stupid policy, and go storming out. We'd all look at one another and say, "What was that all about?" and just go back to work as usual. He'd come back in about 10 and he'd be a circle. "Was I too hard on you guys this morning? I'm sorry." We just learned to ignore him and make money for the guy, in spite of himself.
 
I took the test a few times. The first time I kept getting distracted by interruptions, so I wasn't sure I had read the questions properly. (Stupid day job!) The next couple of times I took it, I did my best to answer quickly with my first impression. I've discovered that over-thinking just about anything will ruin it.

I used to have a girlfriend like that.
 
If she let you get away, she obviously had poor judgment.

I wonder what she's thinking about these days?
 
Whatever she's thinking, she's probably over-thinking it.

That's what happened to our relationship - she thought it over.

I wore it until it became too thin to wear in public. Then, I turned it into a night shirt until it disintegrated.

It could be worse.You could be a squiggle married to a box.
 
I'm half squiggle married to a box. Been together for almost 15 years, and on Leap Day in 2008 we'll be celebrating the 3rd anniversary of our 4th year of marriage... It's an adventure, I'll give you that!
 
I am a Circle+Square+Triangle
 
Where are you Triangles?!How come there isn't very many Triangles out there? I feel so....different. LOL

Okay...I'm a bit confused:confused:
It first said I was a Rectangle, then a Squiggle and now a Triangle. And all this within 5 minutes...:cool:
