Your warm and friendly personality generates respect from others, so if you are put into a leadership role you can certainly handle it. In general, you may not volunteer to speak in front of a group, but if you are in the proper frame of mind, you feel at ease when making a presentation. When you believe in something, you tend to share your thoughts. People enjoy when you do this, because you have a cheerful way about you. At times, you can be adventuresome, but a night home relaxing is just as fun for you.

You are very considerate. You are a popular person, aren't you? Of course you are. You truly value harmony in dealing with others. People recognize your friendly, generous, and helpful personality.

Your Self-Control: Impulsive vs Cautious

You are very impulsive. You are an independent thinker. You do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave--you know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously, because you are able to make decisions without endless deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct one in the decision-making process. In general, your life is pleasurable--you know how to have fun and will never be accused of being staid or stuffy.

Sometimes you can be impatient, other times you can be relaxed--it just depends on the circumstances and how much you can control it. People are not afraid you will lose your temper. You are able to manage your emotions when necessary.

Your Openness to Change: Practical vs Imaginative

You are slightly imaginative. It is apparent to those who meet you that you are well educated. You are able to speak on a complex level to one audience, but adjust to a more basic level for another.
