What an Astrologer said about me
 
(It is very close to the truth)

How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others

You are quite humble in your own assessment of yourself and you have a very strong perfectionist attitude, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well you do something, you always see the flaws in it and how it could be improved.

You have an eye for detail and get unhappy when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. You are hard to please and your relationships with others may suffer because of this. You also have refined sensitivities and are very discriminating and particular in your choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in your environment is very important to you.

You step into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is nearly a safe bet, you are unlikely to dive into it. You tend to underestimate your own capacities, confidence and trust in life, which sometimes inhibits your spontaneity. On the other hand, you rarely fall flat on your face and what you do, you do it very well.

Others see you as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. You have a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behaviour are important to you. Your clear, cool, objective and non emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though you are really quite helpful and caring, you do not radiate much sympathy so that others may not see the helpful side as readily. You may seem more businesslike and factual, and also more conservative, than you really are at heart. You are the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

You are keenly observant, intelligent, and have a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but you are not especially ambitious and are often satisfied in a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation

You are a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and independent-minded individual, and you insist upon living your own life as you see fit, even if that means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships you cannot be owned or possessed, and while you are willing to share yourself with another, you do not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of a close relationship. Though intellectually open, you can be enormously stubborn, opinionated, and inflexible on a one-to-one level. You have strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and you try to live by your ideals, but your ideals about how people should treat one another don't always take into account human weaknesses, differences, and needs. You probably dislike sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

You are fair, intelligent, objective, rational and often let your head rule rather than your heart. You seem rather self-sufficient and detached emotionally because you are capable of putting aside your personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once you make up your mind on an issue, you are difficult to sway and can be rather dogmatic.

You think in broad terms and are concerned with the world beyond your own personal sphere - your town, or nation. You are likely to become involved in community affairs, social organisations, and groups of all kinds, or to have a keen interest in such. You enjoy being part of a group endeavour and often find yourself organising, managing, or supervising group activities.

Forward-looking and progressive, you harbour great hopes for the future. You stay current and up to date, and respond to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When young you were influenced by your peers, by group pressures and by all the "latest crazes". You have an experimental mind and are attracted by the novel.

Your strong points include your concern for human welfare and social betterment, your sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and your vision. Your faults are your stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.

How he will describe his ideal match

You will be an attractive, fit, educated, emotionally literate (horrible phrase!) woman. Cultured, bright, liberal and enjoy the exchange of ideas, still curious and open-minded. You will not be afraid of or threatened by a clever man, but rather revel in the exchange of ideas. You will enjoy your work but not be a workaholic and have a capacity for fun and enjoy being silly with someone with whom you can be serious!

You will be at ease with yourself, your body and your sexuality. Basically know who your are. You will have integrity, warmth and also want to have a relationship with an attractive, warm, sensual, challenging and empathetic man.

You will know how to dress, but not care too much about it, be as at home in an expensive restaurant as having a picnic on the beach. You will be loyal, loving and kind and although independent realise that life is better shared.

You will be unconventional and enjoy good conversation and see that as part of a mutually supportive relationship where the intellect, the body and emotions all have their place. You won't expect perfection (neither do I!) but you will know what you want without being rigid.

Hopefully you will also be witty and be able to make me smile! For in the end you will know that relationships don't just fall from heaven but to some extent are earned. You won't be too cynical, not to believe, that some of this is not possible!

Wiz, in principle I should be wary of an astrologer who practically says only good things about a client, which is basically what the latter prefers hearing. You know perfectly well that all of us have both good and bad sides in our characters.

If your hour of birth is accurate, you have a Pisces Ascendant. Coupled with your Venus also being in Pisces in your 1st House , this should give you an overly romantic approach to sentimental affairs that I do not see evidenced in that horoscope.

Considering an interpretation for the Venus/Pisces combination which is probably very fitting in your case ("Your need for affection often places you in the position of being used or rejected by an insincere partner"), this is a major oversight.

wiz,

I'm not a big believer in astrology myself. If you're interested in learning more about yourself and what makes you tick you might like to take the following FREE online test.

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Once you finish the 72 questions (This is an abbreviated test) you'll get a brief description of your type.  There's a better site for the type descriptions.  Here's the link...

http://www.personalitypage.com/portraits.html

Myer Briggs is a commonly used psych profiling tool in many different areas of life (Business, sport, education).  The first time I saw it was when I was about 15 and involved in a government sponsored "gifted sportsmans programme" that required all different types of testing (as guinea pigs at the Uni) before you could get the $'s each year.

The things I learned about myself (especially my personality weaknesses) has helped me understand the process of good and bad decision making, and now I use it as a "tool" at our annual management retreats. (Not the free/amateur tests though... we bring in an Org Psychologist and do some follow up work afterwards)

If you're not familiar with Myer Briggs it's worth doing some research on the web... lots of information out there.

Remember that your "type" doesn't allow for "experience" or "environment".  As we mature we learn new things and evolve as people.  Some of us will go through a Type change as a result of those experiences, some won't.

Anyway... if you take the test and have a look on the second site you'll read lots of stuff about yourself that you already know... but when you have a look at your personality weaknesses you might find one or two things you don't agree with.  They might be the personality characteristics obvious to other people but invisible to you...   

Have fun!

By the way... I know my Type and understand my weaknesses and I try to remember them when making decisions.  I don't always apply logic to my decisions though - maybe because that's a trait of my Type.

In John McEnroe's words,

            "YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!"

[SANDRO43]

"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!"

With regard to Myer Briggs, astrology, or both ?

As far as astrology is concerned, I can tell you it saved me a lot of head-scratching (and money, too ) when having to decide what present I should give to a particular girl .

I remember in a psychology class in college our professor had us each submit a handwriting sample.  He told thus that he knew a man who was able to perform a detailed personality profile based on analyzing our handwriting.  The following week he returned to each of us our individual analyses. I was amazed at how well this man had captured who I was and how I thought and felt from such a small handwriting sample.  When he asked the class how many felt this way, all but maybe two or three students raised their hands.  Then he asked us to compare results and to our chagrin we discovered that we all had been told the exact same thing. Astrologers, palm readers, furtune tellers, etc. All play on some commonalities in how we like to perceive ourselves, then comment in general terms and allow us to mentally fill in the blanks.  It works to the tune of billions of dollars a year.

Personally I would not be so quick to write off these tests.  Right before I went to Egypt everyone in my office was playing around with the first one.  It really did a great job of analyzing people.  I printed out a copy and VWRW marked her answers on it.  I have not had a chance to enter her data yet but I think it will be fun.  There is another test where you can enter the results for two people and it will give the areas where they will have strengths and weaknesses,  I plan to do that for VWRW and myself just for the fun of it as well.   I would never take the results of something like this too seriously but I think anyone who takes that first test will be surprised at the results in a favorable way.   Check it out.

I am a doubting Tomas when it comes to horoscopes etc and I am only having fun with it.

If it is true what you state then Sofia, my latest relationship, has only used me for one thing: SEX and that fact I accept hapily because I enjoyed sofar....LOL

In my previouse serious relationships it was the opposite and was me who used them.......and that was my failure.
