I've also come to accept that mistakes are a good thing. I've certainly made enough of them but honestly, without them I wouldn't have learned so much about how to do things better and make the changes that needed to be made. Struggles, insecurity and depression are always going to be there, just keep the faith and have patience and persistence. You'll get there :-) OK, I admit it, I’m Melancholy, but I’ve learned to take negative comments and put them to work FOR me. I’ve also come to accept that mistakes are a good thing.

I'd much prefer to have you take the survey in the Personality Plus book to see how you come out there. Noone has ALL of the characteristics of a particular personality type and we are all a bit of a combination, though usually two will seem obvious and recognizable. I don't like labels either and I don't use personality types to pigeon hole anyone - I use them to understand how they are motivated and thus hopefully, get along with them better :) Hey Carrie :)

I am very positive and optimistic and not easily offended. But I do have the trying to be perfect thing going on and I am orderly. But I LOVE change! That's why these personality tests get on my nerves a little bit. There's so much to each of us as individuals - our parents and sibs shape us, our experiences, our own ideals. Etc. I really don't like labels. And aren't I always asking my fellow MM members for constructive criticism? ;) The tests label me as melancholic, but I don’t think I am.

I wish I could keep it more orderly. It is not for a lack of want. This is me minus the orderly house. I wish I could keep it more orderly. It is not for a lack of want.

And I definitely see my strong points and weaknesses and sometimes the negative things of being melancholy can be a royal pain in the behind! But the positive attributes can definitely outweigh the negative. Yup this is me all the way!
