Personality Questions: omnomnomnomnom

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
Loyalty: I have an almost unhealthy loyalty to my friends, my friends are my family to me. Its a blessing and a curse
Passion: I love things like music, and something I care about I put my whole being into it. Martial arts for example, is most of my life. Which also kind of makes me a romantic.
Witty: kind of a smart ass, as my wife says. I prefer to mouth people politely and with 'smart' jokes, quick comebacks, thinking on my feet etc. and play too many strategy based games.



2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.
Mouthy: sometimes if people take my play the wrong way I come off as a jerk. 
Stubborn: kind of unmovable, to a fault sometimes
Sometimes I idealize violence, to get a quick and desirable result

3) Rate yourself on the following traits by putting an 'X' in the box you think fits best. (E.g. if you are slightly more introverted than extroverted, put an 'X' in the second box.) Explain your choice as well.

Introverted [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [X ] Extroverted
Explain: look up

Cheerful [ x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: Overly optimistic

Leader [ ] [ ] [ ] [x ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I don't need a leader, but if there has to be one, my stubbornness dictates that i take charge, so I know what the motivation of the person in charge is

Confident [ X] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: loud and proud

Reserved [ ] [ ] [X ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: Really calculating and logical, but in some cases i fly by the seat of my pants and improvise to achieve, well, whatever I want

Energetic [ X] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Calm
Explain: again, loud and proud, but not in a gay way.

Feminine [ ] [ X] [ ] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: kind of metro, a bit of a charmer...

4) Describe how you typically work in teams. Is it generally a good experience, or do you prefer working by yourself? Do you like to lead and make decisions or do you prefer to let others make decisions so that you can do the legwork? You may find it helpful to give an example of a team you worked on recently and how that went.
I work with others fairly well, as long as the leader is smart, knows his s***, and gets it done. If they're incompetent, I'm going to ignore him/her and do what most benefits the cause, and whoever follows me, i will instruct accordingly.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time?
Martial arts, music, magic the gathering, among other things. My free time is usually spent with my spouse, being awesome and devilishly attractive.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.
Martial arts: I get and adrenaline rush from fighting, and would love to teach it to people
Art: i would love to be a manga artist

Comments

I would have to say Monk without a doubt. Cheerful, energetic, likes fighting with hands...all scream monk to me.

Short and sweet...

[freijya.livejournal.com]

Everyone is going to have like minds on this one. Monk. Even if you don't like FF8, you remind me most of Zell.

Monk

[zerrat.livejournal.com]

Mm, I can see both Soldier and Monk working for you. You emphasize pretty much all of the qualities that are listed as Monk-like traits, and even relate to one of the prominent Monk characters (that being Snow). Weapons, bluntness, impulsiveness...

Yep, I'm going to go with Monk.

Question: were you demuredreams's mysterious husband? :3

[virago-queen.livejournal.com]

Obviously, Ryan, you're a Monk. I don't think it even needs explanation. You're a Snow/Sabin-type of guy.

[glacialphoenix]

I pretty much see Monk as well, yes - cheerful, mouthy, stubborn, confident and loud - and I think the way you phrase things reminds me of a Monk, too.

imma monk, woot

[lightofeilia.livejournal.com]

Monk. Monk monk monk monk monk. Everyyyyyyyyything.

Cheerful violent stubborn loud loyal Snow energetic optimistic and I can totally see you punching fists in the air and yes.

Monk :D

[plastic-vinyl.livejournal.com]

Monk, definitely. Everything seriously says it. There really is no need of an explanation for this one.


(Man, comments hate me right now.)

[demuredreams.livejournal.com]

Short attention span, loud, mouthy. That's you, love.

MONK, MONK, MONK

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Well...at the risk of sounding totally unoriginal by this point, I think the Monk job class fits you really well! XD You're loyal, passionate, witty, mouthy, and stubborn...which are all traits I can associate with some of the more vocal Monk characters (like Snow and Zell...I could even picture the two of them admitting that sometimes they desire violence as a way to get a quick result, especially Snow). Your extroverted, cheerful, supportive, confident, in-between reserved/logical, energetic, and charming traits fit really well with quite a few of the Monk characters too. I think many of them would view working in a team like you do...and I could see them not only listing Martial Arts as a hobby, but also as something they'd like to do for an ideal career (like Yang from FFIV!). Plus, you even mentioned that you can really relate to Snow! :)

[hilian.livejournal.com]

I am not very original but I agree with the above votes for Monk. Monk characters are usually very loyal, passionate and stubborn, definitely more extroverted than introverted, cheerful, confident and energetic, and many of your answers remind me of characters like Snow,Zell and Sabin.

Neutral

[chacusha]

Yep definitely a Monk. There's a fair amount of Thief as well (wittiness, describing yourself as "kind of a charmer", cheerfulness, confidence, and energy, etc.) but this app is overwhelmingly Monk for reasons people said above.

Sorry for the repost, forgot to note that I'm neutral.

[northstarroad.livejournal.com]

Randomly, you remind me of someone I knew a long time ago.

As for the task at hand, my two cents is Monk, although I was leaning more toward Soldier in the beginning. As I read through the answers, your attitude coming out in your answers made up my mind. You seem ready to stir something up. :)

[sai_salamander]

Yeaah, gonna have to agree with what like, everyone else has said here! Monk just fits the bill, pretty much no questions asked.

[roax.livejournal.com]

Mod Note: Would you mind picking one person who referred you to that site instead of 3? I'd say 2 is a maximum since members get points for referring others and I am not sure how I am supposed to divide the points into 3. (Especially since every person you mentioned is in different teams than the rest).

Vote: Haha wow, not to sheep but you're so much like a modern FF Monk. Loud, someone who talks back, someone who is "quick on their feet", someone who is extremely loyal. Monks are also pretty passionate, mouthy and stubborn and can be violent since... well let's face it, they might with their fists so... They're supportive, confident, cheerful, energetic. While most modern types strike me as impulsive, the monks in first FF games were more cautious which fits your cautious/impulsive answer. Your tone reminded me of Snow indeed so Monk it is.

Hm... maybe we can give 17 points to each team? That together equals 51, which is pretty close to 50. Edit: Actually, maybe 16 each (= 48 total) if it's weird that 3 referrers can result in getting more than 50 points.

[roax.livejournal.com]

Sounds legit to me :) Will do.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Well, I wish there was more that I could say here for why I'm voting them...but I definitely love the Monk votes you've gotten so far! You remind me a lot of Monks such as Snow, Prishe, and Zell (and there are quite a few dedicated monk characters who I could honestly see wanting martial artist as an ideal career as well--such as Sabin, Yang, and Ursula). Monk characters tend to be very passionate, loyal, and can be rather witty too...and they are known for sometimes being mouthy and stubborn as well. Many of them are extroverted, cheerful, more supportive but willing to take charge in instances when a leader is needed, confident, can be a mixture of reserved and impulsive at times (Amarant, Prishe, Tifa, and Yang are good examples of this), energetic, and they tend to get along rather well with others in group settings too so long as they don't disagree with a group leader or others' actions.

[the-404-error.livejournal.com]

This is completely predictable by this point, but yes, Monk. Even if you didn't list enjoying martial arts, your personality fits with many of the monk characters, especially those in more recent games, perfectly.

[haryan.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking Monk for you. And not only because you mentioned you relate to Snow, but also because of your favorite weapon and because monk usually strikes me ad very extroverted, cheerful, confident , energetic and tomboyish. You really remind me of characters like Snow and Sabin.

[eotheod.livejournal.com]

BEST OCCUPATION EVER. At first I thought Soldier, but really, you're totally a Monk. Made me laugh when you said you like Snow because "punching stuff is awesome"
