Note:
This is what it is about me that drives people crazy -- the way that my high Liberalism (love of ambiguity) and high Intellect (love of playing with ideas), dances with my low Cautiousness (living for the moment), low Dutifulness (find rules confining), high Immoderation (yields to temptation) and low Modesty (arrogance.) What Mike calls my sslllooooow learning curve.
This is what I like about myself -- the way that my high levels of Friendliness, Cheerfulness, Assertiveness and Sympathy interact with the above. Investigo a Via -- I find a way. (though, use your own judgement in following me there, eh?)
