Type A Negative
I spent four hours completing a personality test the other day. At the end of the four-hour course, I was not surprised in the least with the outcome.
I’m a psycho hose-beast.
I am a dominant personality. I am so dominant that I borderline on neurotic. My actions are frequently misintepreted as pushy, demanding, and rude. I have an obsessive attention to detail that annoys others, and my need for attention is often perceived as egotistcal and boastful.
No kidding.
There were a few positives to the personality type, but being the ultra-obsessive-negative personality type that I am, I don’t remember them. Adding insult to injury is the test administrator, who was walking around peeking over our shoulders to assess the results. When she got to mine, she stopped.
“Wow.”
Not, WOW!, or WOOOW!, but just plain, monotone, Wow. As in, “I got a psycho hose-beast here Wow.” She then proceeded to point out my defective personality in front of the entire group, telling me that I would have to work “extra hard” to keep from being misunderstood. That’s comforting; I already feel alientated from the world, now I have to work “extra hard” to be accepted in it.
Since the test, I’m amazed at how people treat me differently. When I’m firm, they tell me, “Oh, that’s just your D personality.” No, this is my DO YOUR JOB personality. It has nothing to do with delivery, but everything to do with the fact that SOMETHING IS NOT DONE. Obsessive attention to detail? Well, I GUESS SO.
This is my D personality telling you to GET OVER IT & DO YOUR DAMN JOB. ![]()

Ha Ha ha ha ha… Been there done that… Emotionally healthy productive people take interest in all things comparable. One of human beings best traits is our ability to change. Some of us are a bit less afraid than others, especially if we have had the proverbial rug pulled out from under us… After the rug its different for. Tests: Self perception, conflict handling, myers Brigg personality, Fundamental Interpersonal Relationships, and on and on and on. Each one a weighted average across a board hardly fits you any longer… LOL… They are and are not that significant, joke over them or take them with some seriousness, neither choice good bad or wrong.. Your in charge that ship wheel your at… chuckling.. Look no hands right now?? Weeeeee… Have fun, it is your ship!!! Just dont get to caught up in what we are more than anything,,, Comparative creatures…
