Considerate Builder

So, as always when I see someone's personality quiz results, this evening I felt compelled to take the most recent 11-page quiz (thanks a lot, ñaña). As I read the results, I was struck by three things.

1. I have no idea what agency means, though apparently mine is low. So I looked it up and,

"Agency is how much you believe you determine your own outcomes. "

2. I agree with nearly everything the results tell me (scroll over each color). Could this possibly be because they're just rephrasing my very own answers to their questions? Nah.

3. The way they phrase the results are highly convincing, to the extent that if I were to lie horribly on the quiz and read the results, I am certain that my opinion and view of myself would change. The verdict of my report: "You are a Considerate Builder." Just listen to that. I don't even know what that means, but when I read these declarative words, I seriously picture myself thinking of others with a hammer in hand. And "Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed." While mainly true, now I can never enter the outlet BCBG again just to try on fancy dresses because these results have so strongly declared that I cannot be there! So either I've gotta go back and redo the 11 pages for how I WANT to think of myself, and thus learn to believe it, or I must accept these declarations as the truth, at least for now...until the next quiz comes along.
