More about Idealists
Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists are the most likely group to say they are vegetarian, according to a UK survey. (--> WOW! NO WAY! I LOVE MEAT! But I do love potatoes, and perhaps salads too. So does that make me a vegeterian? Lol. Neh, doubt so :p )

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

Idealist Careers
Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.



I guess I gotta say it's really darn true for me man. So now I know I'm an Idealist. Ho Ho Ho!

Was chatting with Trix online while taking this test together. It was fun, me asking her what am I like and which sets of answers best describes I, and vice versa. Think Trix knows me better than I know myself. Haha.
