Eleven years ago Kaiser Permanente hired me to help roll out new software to all their hospitals in Northern California. We had like 3 months of training before going in and one of the things they had us do was some personality type thing with some psychologist.
It felt like this lady was trying to shoe horn me into some category, telling me I am some 4 letter acronym and here are my strengths and weaknesses. I just kept arguing with her pointing out events and situations in my life that refuted everything she was trying to say I was.
It seems like an overly complicated horoscope thing where people love to read descriptions of themselves and others to make sense of the world, even though by looking at someone's face for a few seconds you can make way more judgements about the character of someone.
- 9erdelta 10y agoThe "horoscopieness" of almost anything related to personality labeling causes me to feel deeply rebellious. You can't pigeon hole me! Irrational or not, I reject that my personality is fixed.
- TheSpiceIsLife 10y agoExactly. What's my personality like? Well, under what conditions? If I'm stressed I'm different to when I feel calm and safe. What if I'm talking to the apprentices at work, who I've told eight times already not to do something, how do they perceive my personality. And then five minutes later I'm in the bosses office acting like a completely different person. Complete baloney.
- MrFantastic 10y agoSounds like you fit into the "Rebellious" personality type.
