I'm A Shark

This entry is made for more personal uses. I just had to post this here. This was taken from a test I took in www.web.tickle.com. I like this because the result fits me to my toenails.

How You Approach Life
You, Shark, are a savvy adventurer bent on the path to success. You work hard in your outgoing way to make things happen. You have a lot of energy, like to think in the abstract and tend to focus on how you can move up in the world.

You've got a robust love of life that draws people to you and you have a killer instinct people both fear and respect. Your mantra is "work hard, play hard" and your innate magnetism helps camouflage any minor flaws you might have. Everywhere you go, people think you're important — they can't help it, you just carry yourself that way. Because of this, you care about your appearance, too. After all, it's a direct reflection of both who you are and how successful you are.

You live life for the moment and it shows. You're extroverted and love being in the spotlight. People admire your personality — particularly because beyond your smarts, you're flexible and friendly.

Professionally, you manage yourself well, are innovative, and are a great self-starter. That makes sense since above all, you want to make sure that you reach your goals quickly so you can set new ones.
Keep at it, Shark. You're on the path to a wonderful life. In fact, you might already have one.

How Others See You
People see you as down to earth with a free spirit. You convey your genuineness to others with your ability to focus on what counts — you are not easily swayed by superficial things. You also don't act in fake ways to “get ahead” or to look better than others. People notice that about you and appreciate it. People intuitively trust you with their secrets. They can see that you are not judgmental, and that appeals to many. You are open and free, yet grounded in the things that really matter.

Communication Style
You enjoy conversations that are lighthearted, pleasant and agreeable. Low-key connections with like-minded people are one of life's pleasures for you. You sometimes are baffled by the fact that some people intentionally pick arguments. How can they be so sure of themselves when every issue has so many aspects? You would never want to come across as so aggressive. You especially don't like domineering, blaming people.

Your Romantic Life
You have high standards for love, believing in one love that outshines the others. To you, successful romance has two aspects: an emotional connection based on mutual care, and doing things together that you and your partner both love. You're happy with someone who enjoys the unexpected as much as you do. You'll both be excited at the prospect of situations with an unknown outcome. You and your well-suited mate enjoy high quality conversation and fulfilling experiences together. You are deep, sincere and willing to take emotional risks. You succeed in romance when you use your intuition and intelligence to choose someone whose compatibility with you goes deeper than the surface.

You At Your Best
When you're in the presence of others who care about you, you relax and really shine. Supportive, safe interactions with people who believe in you are an important step in your unfolding path towards more confidence. You'll thrive in atmospheres that are calm and quiet. When you feel soothed, you can tune into your real thoughts and reactions. By creating a peaceful environment for yourself, and by slowly building up your confidence, you will be able to enter the world more fully and share the amazing person you are.

Achieving Success
You are capable of more than you think. At this point, your most important task is to explore just where your greatest talents lie. You're not prone to care a whole lot about getting ahead of the game or looking good in an expensive car. You're looking for other kinds of success. So cast a wide net as you try out possible jobs, activities, and areas of interest. You're bound to learn a lot about yourself, the world and what excites you. Keep an open mind, a positive outlook, and above all, don't sell yourself short. Armed with self-knowledge and a good attitude, there's nothing you can't do.

What Really Motivates You
For you, the chase is the reward. You are motivated by challenge, excitement, the chance to test your obviously ample abilities — and to get that coveted adrenaline rush in the process. You love to use your mind, so you're always looking for your next learning opportunity. If you know that a challenge includes difficult, abstract thinking, you're intrigued and enticed. Motivation for you is inspiration. There's no end to the energy you'll find when given the latitude to pursue your dreams creatively.

Conflict
Conflicts are fairly rare for you, but the ones you have are emotionally difficult and personally disruptive for you. This is because you have a natural ability to rise above petty issues, leaving conflicts and problems for the issues that really matter. So, when something is bothering you, it taxes you on a deep level and you feel that the stakes of resolving the issue are high. It's not surprising that you tend to become worried and preoccupied until the problem is solved.

Getting Unstuck in Your Life
Gradual change is the best way for you to move out of stuck or uncomfortable places in your life. Build your confidence by working on one or two relationships that already feel fairly secure. Look for ways that you are comfortable, areas of life where your footing feels sure. Start to reach out from there and take some chances. You are likely to find yourself frustrated and disappointed if you make sudden or dramatic changes, putting pressure on yourself to make sweeping transformations. Better to nurture yourself gently, using slow and steady movement. That way, once you get where you're headed, you'll feel at ease and authentically there.

Tests like these are so refreshing. I like it when someone understands me so well - even if it is only a personality test.
