【 About Yourself... 】
Please describe your personality: I try to see the good in everyone and live by the policy of "forgive and forget," I hardly ever get jealous of other people, I’m understanding, and I try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I’m incredibly shy and withdrawn around other people, and I don’t really have a lot of confidence in my own abilities. I tend to worry about things that I have no control over, and I can be a bit immature and childish at times. I’d probably much rather run away from problems than simply deal with them head-on, and I can be really naïve (my family and friends will often tell me that I don’t act with common sense). But at the same time, I can ALSO be insanely stubborn and determined when I feel very strongly about something so it really just depends on the situation at hand. I can ramble on and on when it comes to topics that catch my interest too. I tend to probably be way more polite than is necessary in most social situations as well, for some reason.
I recently took this test...and I pretty much was tied with Lawful Good and Neutral Good (seriously...I took the test four times just to be sure, and literally had only about a point of difference between both options in my individual results depending on how I answered one or two questions XD). I could see both options fitting for me within reason at times and I've actually gotten both results before on similar online tests in the past as well, so I shall mention them here in case they could be helpful for stamping purposes! :D Thank you very much to cassandrablue for the test link! ♥ Also, according to other personality tests online...I fit into The Generous Thinker and The Dreamy Idealist types. The Generous Thinker personality type result is fairly accurate from how it is described, as is the general description for The Dreamy Idealist! :)
I took the Enneagram Personality Test, and I got Type 6: The Loyalist...which seems fairly accurate for the most part. In brief, the Type 6 is described as The Committed, Security-Oriented Type: Engaging, Responsible, Anxious, and Suspicious. Sixes are reliable, hard-working, responsible, and trustworthy. Excellent "troubleshooters," they foresee problems and foster cooperation, but can also become defensive, evasive, and anxious-running on stress while complaining about it. They can be cautious and indecisive, but also reactive, defiant and rebellious. They typically have problems with self-doubt and suspicion. At their Best: internally stable and self-reliant, courageously championing themselves and others. They have a basic fear of being without support and guidance, and their basic desire is to have security and support. The key motivations for a Type 6 are that they want to have security, to feel supported by others, to have certitude and reassurance, to test the attitudes of others toward them, to fight against anxiety and insecurity. ...And the link itself does an even more detailed/lengthier description of that personality type if you need it! I think it fits rather well, all things considered.
...And I followed someone's example and also took this test. It was fairly accurate, I thought! So feel free to read this one too if you still need more personality reference:
You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.
You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.
With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.
Positive traits: Caring, observant, creative, playful, polite, and understanding.
Negative traits: Shy, anxious, daydreamer (from the stance that I sometimes have to be reminded to keep myself grounded when I let my mind wander), naïve, lazy, and indecisive.
Please list some of your dislikes: Character/couple bashing (even if I disagree with someone's point of view, I like remaining open minded and respectful of their opinions), unnecessary fights, and people who are intentionally cruel to others.
What is the first impression that you give others?: ...I think that, when people first meet me, they probably view me as someone who needs to be protected somehow. As I stated before, I come across as someone very quiet and nervous when interacting with people I'm not overly-familiar with...and I've even been called "meek" and "timid" on more than one occasion.
How are you described by those who know you?: Once I become more comfortable around someone, I can open up a bit more (people are often surprised the first time I speak up or crack a joke with them). Get me started on a topic that I really enjoy...and I will literally NOT stop talking about it (as people who are familiar with my ramblings on LJ are probably very much aware of! Sorry about that, everyone...and thank you for putting up with me! ♥). I've been told that I'm more playful and enthusiastic than my initial impression indicates by people because of that. I've also been described as polite (though socially awkward), creative, understanding, nervous, a worrier, and nice by others once they've gotten to know me.
【 Are you more... 】
A realist, an idealist, an optimist or a pessimist: I'd rather see the silver lining to things, so I guess I'm more of an optimist/idealist at heart (though with probably some more realistic tendencies at times depending on certain situations).
Cautious or Impulsive: It can depend on the situation, but I think I tend to be more logical/cautious overall since I'm always worrying about things anyway.
Calm or Hyper: Somewhere in-between for the most part, although I do have moments of extreme hyperactivity and calmness.
Trusting or Cynical: Trusting, probably. I have my cynical moments (especially if it's about a situation that seems really odd or if someone has done things that were untrustworthy repeatedly before), but overall I try to be forgiving or believe in the best in others.
Leader or Follower: A follower, definitely...I'd constantly be worried about making the wrong decisions if I was placed in a position of leadership. And I'm not sure I could be strict enough in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.
Introverted or Extroverted: Very, very shy...I don't really dislike people or anything, I just have a really hard time getting the confidence I need to talk to others comfortably. It's something I need to work on, but it's a trait that's really hard to change. I'm able to be a bit more open around family and close friends though.
Independent or Dependent: Dependent...more than I'd like to be, at any rate. I'm more than capable of doing things for myself when I have to do so, but I tend to panic if I think about things for too long and become afraid that I somehow won't be able to do something or I'll mess it up due to my low self-confidence--so if I'm with a friend, I'll end up unconsciously letting them take the lead sometimes (for instance, it never fails how quickly I'll fall into silence during a conversation with somugh in enforcing policies and what-not, so I'd probably be a somewhat ineffective leader at that.

Persistent or Laid-Back: Oddly persistent in some situations, while laid-back in others. :D It kind of just depends. If it isn't something I feel overly strongly about, I'm usually more laid-back when it comes to most things though.
Confident or Modest: I'm almost self-deprecatingly modest at times and tend to lean more towards being insecure to the point where I hardly ever see value in my own work (even if someone tells me something I've done is good, I always doubt it in my head). I think that's partially due to my anxiousness and confidence issues, but aside from joking and occasionally acting that way online or with people I'm familiar with...I'm not a very confident person.
【 General Questions... 】
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? My confidence issues. I think that's probably the biggest thing holding me back at times: I doubt that I'm strong enough to do things on my own, and it even stems into my shyness too (since I don't think anyone is interested in what I have to say, it makes it all the more terrifying to risk putting it out there and getting rejected). Being a bit more confident would just help me to reach my goals a bit quicker in the long run, I think.
Do you enjoy conflict or do you seek to end it as soon as you can? I don't enjoy conflict, but I can be pretty good at it if I'm annoyed at something enough as my sister probably can attest to, orz! XD Still, as a rule...I don't particularly see it as being beneficial in the long run (and if I think about past conflicts I've had with certain people...I realize just how stupidly pointless most of them were to begin with), so I tend to try to end them as soon as I can or just avoid them in general if I'm able to do so (a quick change of topic or similar things like that to change a mood).
Someone just cut in front of you in the store, when you've already been waiting for quite some time. How do you react? ...I probably really wouldn't do anything, lolz. I'd complain about it under my breath (or perhaps make a snarky comment with the cashier if they were also rude to them or something), but I wouldn't press the issue to the person themselves. It's a minor annoyance when people do things like that, and it's pretty rude too...but it's not going to really hurt me if I have to wait a little longer.
Imagine yourself fighting in order to save the world, or to put an end to it depending on your ideals. What motivates you to fight? Would it be for the sake of the world, just because you felt like helping out, for a specific desire, for yourself? ...Probably just because I felt like helping out. Maybe a friend needed help or something...but even if that wasn't the case, if there was something I could do to help save the world in that situation--I'd probably feel like a really big jerk if I DIDN'T try to do something. Although the world might be doomed already if they're relying on someone like me to help them, lolz. XD
Speaking of fighting, would you play the offensive, defensive or supportive role? Probably more of a defensive or supportive role. I'd not much of an offensive person when it comes to fighting even in things like video games, but I always spam healing and try doing status effects and the like...so I imagine that would probably be my style in a real fight too. :)
You've come across a powerful enemy, but are already aware you won't acquire anything tangible by beating it. Do you fight it anyway? Eh, not if it can be avoided! XD

Are there any characters you would prefer not to be voted as? Not really. This is another series that I'm not really familiar with but I'm very curious about since it sounds really amazing...so I'm just curious to see
