Personality test

http://www.personaldna.com/

Quite a complicated personality test requiring lots of sliding on horizontal scales and emptying of buckets (You'll know what I'm talking about when you try it out). What does it say about me?

You are a Dreamer
Your combination of abstract thinking, appreciation of beauty, and cautiousness makes you a DREAMER.
You often imagine how things could be better, and you have very specific visions of this different future.
Beauty and style are important to you, and you have a discerning eye when it comes to how things look.
Although you often think more broadly, you prefer comfort to adventure, choosing to stay within the boundaries of your current situation.
Your preferences for artistic works are very refined, although you vastly prefer some types and styles to others.
Though your dreams are quite vivid, you are cautious in following up on them.
You are aware of both your positive and negative qualities, so that your ego doesn't get in your way.
A sense of vulnerability sometimes holds you back, stifling your creative tendencies.
You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.
If you want to be different:
Your imagination is a wonderful asset, but don't just dream?be bold enough to take action and explore new things!
Consider a wider range of details and possibilities when thinking about the present and the future?don't be too set in your ways.

You are Considerate
You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.
You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.
You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.
Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you're somewhat shy and reserved at times.
Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.
Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people's behavior.
You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people's lives.
Your close friends know you as a good listener.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.

I actually think that I'm a lot nastier than that. Ask my colleagues and they'll tell you that when they rub me the wrong way often enough, I can snap at them rather pointedly. Talk about being considerate and understanding. But nice people as they are, they often attribute it to a lack of caffeine. :)
