Harmonizer Clarifier - This is me. I'd love to meet you.

I took a Personality Assessment test and the results I got were amazing.
I answered the questions accurately based on how I am most of the time vs. how I have acted recently vs. how I've decided I want to be , and I got the PERFECT analysis. Even if it doesn't describe how I've always behaved, it describes exactly how I want to think and be. 

I took the test through an iPhone app, "Personality Types" $2.99

INTERACTION

Problem Solving: "Catalyst"

Language: Catalysts respond to input that is diffuse, holistic, global, and impressionistic. This includes stories, metaphors, and ideas that speak to everyone.
Attention: Catalysts seek out "What's going on deep down in the other person?" Analyzing and engaging a person's hidden and emotional life.
Interaction: Catalysts strive for harmony between and individual's unique identity and the values of people in the larger group.

• prefers to work behind the scenes
• often provides comfort and support in the background
• identifies and flows harmoniously with the situation and what's needed.
• gets the best results possible by continually seeking and drawing upon input from outside.
• responds after others initiate, and tends to patiently offer ideas, or reflection
• might be perceived as slow, distant, or passive aggressive

5. cling to beliefs in contradiction to reality
6. believe objectivity is impossible

Reminders for Growth:

• Connect with people who create the kind of organization where you can be empathetic.

• Pay some attention to your health and physical environment - it's not as scary as you imagine.
• Try to gather three facts about important situations, even if you must ask.
• With a project, try to do a little work everyday.
• When something seems unbelievable, consider what is really an aspect of your identity and what is simply a hasty evaluation about its worth.
• If you can't "be there" emotionally for a person, then introduce them to someone who can.
• Realize that your words may cause people to reconsider who they are and what they believe in.
• Good reasoning involves considering multiple counter-arguments.
• Ground your beliefs in the lives of many real people.
• If you're going to use an idea ethically, then seriously learn the specifics.
• Don't get seduced by the "dark side" of a reactionary identity.
• It's okay to imagine "as if" you had a certain plan.
