Fun, Perfect, Serious with no Self Esteem

A couple of months ago I took this personality assessment that is on Mark Gungor's flag page. www.flagpage.com I took it I made my husband, oldest daughter and her boyfriend all take it. I thought it would be fun. That it would help them get some insight as to who they are and what makes them tick. Well, I guess it worked.... I think. It definitely confirmed to me what I had known all along about them. But it also surprised me a bit.

In this test the results tell you basically what your primary "country" is and what your secondary "country" is. Countries are personality traits. There is Control, Peace, Perfect and Fun. My husband came out as a Control, Peace. CONTROL??? Really? I never see him try and control anything. Hmm I was stumped. So I ask him. And apparently he is a control freak at work. Nice... I don't work for or with him so I'm good. I have had the misfortune of having to drive him around as of late and I can honestly say he is a control freak when he is NOT driving. Who knew after 15 years of being together and 13 1/2 of those being married to him. Really, WHO KNEW? The Peace part is defined as the person not liking conflict so the go with the flow. Which pretty much describes him to a T except when I'm driving. :-) Thank you Mark Gungor for that enlightenment.

Ok so that was my husband. My oldest daughter on the other hand was a Perfect, peace. Again with the Peace thing.. which explains the deer in the headlights look when she is getting in trouble. But Perfect??? This is apparently a perfectionist/bossy trait which I think her younger sister would say is alive and well. I don't remember what her boyfriends second trait was but the first one was Peace. So you have a bossy doe eyed girl coupled with a mellow boy I am envisioning a lot of kumbaya going on.

Now to me. Well I took the test and I came out as a Fun, Perfect person. That is to say that my primary country was Fun. Well I do like adventure... I love to sky dive and rock climb and repel along with anything else I guess I could get away with. So I guess Fun fits. But then there is perfect..perfect..Hmmmm I didn't think I was bossy although I do run the house, and my department at work. I do set pretty high standards for myself so I guess I could live with that. Until......

My husband took another personality test. One way more complex, that is used by psychologists and councilors. They said some things about him that were very interesting and it gave us some insight to what goings on in his head. I helped him with this test I ask him the questions and wrote down his answers and even charted them for him. I kept thinking.... Wow I would answer that way different if that was me.

Then they thought it would be good to test me. Okay I can do this....So I took the same test and my answers were done in red so we could compare mine to his. It was weird I scored pretty even throughout everything on a scale from 1-10 I scored 2's and 3's across the seven or eight personality traits except for two. I scored a 0 on self esteem and I scored a 9 on Serious. So what does this mean????? I have no Idea yet. Except, I learned something about myself.

I think to much and apparently.....I am crazy.

Thanks for listening to the rantings of,
