Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)

**Openness = I accept people and things as they are, never attempting to alter them. If you were to tell me you hated heights or were gay, I would accept it and not judge you for your difference.

**Conscientiousness = I pay attention to details. I must have order and a schedule to follow. I can not be late...I suppose it is kind of a "sin" to me.

**Introverted = I don't talk a lot and simply just like to watch. If I do talk, it is because I have something important to say not just to hear my voice. Some people view this as a bad personality trait but not me, I like that about myself.

2) List and expand upon your three worst traits / weaknesses.

~~Neuroticism = I get irritated and stressed out easy. I worry a lot! I usually always have a negative outlook at most situations.

~~Agreeableness = I do not care about your problems. I have enough to think about without having to worry of others too. I've very suspicious of other motives and what they want.

~~Conscientiousness = You might have noticed this is on here twice...I love this trait and loathe it at the same time. Being over conscientiousness causes me to put myself down a lot and a lot of self loathing is involved.

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: I don't talk a lot and simply just like to watch. If I do talk, it is because I have something important to say. I would say that I am not completely introverted though, I don't mind mind talking in large groups or giving speeches. I would never just walk up to a stranger and strike a conversation, on the other hand.

Cheerful [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I'm not cheerful or gloomy. I'm not scared the world will end every time I turn around but I can't get excited because you found a pretty flower either.

Leader [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: I like to lead, only because I don't trust other not to screw it up.

Confident [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: I'm a confident person, I will argue by point to a dead person if I have too. I am not cocky though. I confident in the fact if I tell you something or make a promise, I will deliver.

Reserved [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I do not do impulsive things at all. I usually walk away from a situation were anything like that could happen.

Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Calm
Explain: I am not bubbly or perky by any means. I have a "bit" of a temper so I would not say I am entirely calm either.

Feminine [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I had a hard time with this...I look girly and put on makeup, fix my hair, carry my designer bags and wear high heels everywhere. On the flip side I act more masculine, I take charge, do not back down and usually friend guys more than girls because I care more about cars, fighting, and comic books than my matching Gucci shoes and bag.

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 loathe teams. I can work in teams if I'm in charge and give orders but usually others do not do the work to my satisfaction. I am not a team player. The "No man left behind" military thing does not work for me, you keep up or get left behind. I don't expect you to stop if I fall behind.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time? I like J-rock music and play video games. I usually train my puppy also.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you.

**Event coordinator = I like to plan things and take charge.

**Veterinarian = I love all animals and hate when they are taken advantage of.

**Performer = I like to be paid attention to and to get my message across.


FF Questions:

7) List one to three favorite Final Fantasy games and why you like them. Sequels/spin-offs/non-numbered/KH/Dissidia games are okay.

**Final Fantasy VIII = My favorite. The story was the best part, if you don't have a good foundation everything else just crumbles. I also liked the structured military theme that it had at the beginning that drifted off towards the end to a more "follow your heart" theme.

**Final Fantasy X = I did not have favorite character from the game, to be they all seemed "fake" but the story was amazing. I like stories that connect the past and present together. Also, the struggle to overcome Spira's spiral of death was very interesting. (Aren't we trying to do that?)

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why:

**Laguna Loire = I think I like him the best because of his stark contrast to my own personality. I would love to be carefree and goofy.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why:

**Quistis Trepe = I relate to her because of the fact that she is kind of a "big sister" to others and the "mature" one.

10) The FF game you liked playing least:
(Don't hurt me...) Final Fantasy VII. The game confused me...it actually took Crisis Core and Advent Children coming out for all the pieces to come together for me and the story to make sense. So did Sephiroth burn down the village? Why did no one remember? Why/how is Cloud a puppet? So he isn't a real person? Or is he?

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why:

**Aerith Gainsborough = Her chipper, self-sacrificing personality rubbed me the wrong way.

**Cloud Strife = I was always afraid he might silt his wrist during the game and he seemed weak. (I suppose because he is a puppet?)

**Rinoa Heartilly = Very weak and princess like, always waiting for her "knight" to rescue her

12) Favorite weapon in a Final Fantasy game (either the name if you liked the name, or a picture if you liked the look of it, or a description if it had awesome stats/abilities): I like swords (except giant swords) and I thought the gunblades were neat weapons though maybe not realistic. So gunblades are awesome because swords are cool and adding a gun is even better. I like the one handed Hyperion the best.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.): I don't really like summons, use your own strength not some deity's. I suppose Carbuncle because he didn't attack just protected the party.

14) Your favorite spell/ability/technique that can be learned in a Final Fantasy game (e.g. Esuna, Steal, special finishes/overdrives such as Tifa's Final Heaven limit break, etc.): Squall's lionheart limit break was the best.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into: I never really played the side games. I would run around strengthening my party...does that count?

16) Your favorite Cid: Cid Highwind (FF VII) He was the redneck of the Final Fantasy games

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why. White Mage. I'm not sympathetic towards others.

Comments

Hmm another hard one. Either the apps this week are hard or I'm just failing at sorting. I can see a dragoon/soldier mix but I'm kind of leaning toward Soldier. The big thing I picked up from the app is that you're confident, very individualistic, and don't trust other people to be in the leader position, which seems to me qualities probably found in soldier characters more than any other class. Bits of your personality fit dragoon (reserved, calm, etc.) but I can see those also being soldier traits as well.

[glacialphoenix]

Gaaaaah... I'm having a really hard time deciding between Dragoon and Soldier for you, but I'm leaning just that little bit towards Dragoon, because you mentioned preferring to work alone. You have a terse quality to your writing that makes me think of Dragoon, too - I think Soldiers might actually sound a little softer than you do. Dragoons tend to be introverted sorts, I think, and in my mind they can be very determined and sometimes emotional, but they don't run off and do things on impulse, either.

[sai_salamander]

Waah, another Soldier/Dragoon toss-up! I'm going to have to go with Dragoon on this one for pretty similar reasons to what sunflower_mynah said: you're not big with the speaking, but you're also very able to take charge. The fact that you would remove yourself from a situation that required impulsiveness really spoke Dragoon to me, too. Everything about them seems measured, to me, and your app really had that feeling to it.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

Actually, the Dragoon/Solider combination for you seems like a really good fit! I think I might be leaning slightly more towards Dragoon though for reasons that have already been covered quite a bit. Many Dragoon characters are quite open-minded in their own way (Kain, Kimahri, Fang, and Freya attest to this quite a bit with their interactions with others at times), and they tend to be very conscientious too. Many of them tend to be more on the reserved/introverted side of the spectrum, and can be less than agreeable at times depending on situations or have a negative viewpoint on certain scenarios. They tend to talk when they have something important to say, but otherwise tend to simply watch from the sidelines (Kain and Kimahri are really good examples of that, again). Many of them tend to be leaders (Kain, Kimahri, and Cid Highwind for example), and are confident without being cocky. They usually tend to think things through as well, and are calm for the most part though they might display a temper at times too. I could see perhaps even relating to careers such as Event Coordinator and Performer too for the same reasoning you gave (and perhaps veterinarians as well considering the FFXI Dragoon class: Dragoons in the game are given charge of a young Wyvern that follows them around and they are responsible for). :D

And Laguna is an awesome character, I agree! :)

Monk

[zerrat.livejournal.com]

Of the classes available, I definitely see you as a Dragoon the most. You remind me of Kain and Fang the most, especially with the self-loathing.

[kupobun.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to agree with Dragoon. While I think you fit the Soldier type quite well, you seem to be a lot more introverted and more likely to take charge or simply work alone, which I feel is a bit more Dragoon-ish.

[breyzyyin.livejournal.com]

I can definitely see some Soldier in you, but I think I'm leaning the most towards Dragoon as well. You have pretty balanced traits and personality in your application responses, which I actually think are qualities that are beneficial to both job classes...but there's definitely an individualistic tone to your answers that seems more fitting for a class like Dragoon overall. I think the fact that you're not a team player fits slightly more for many of the Dragoon characters as I don't picture many of them enjoying the idea of being on teams either. :)

[suspensionpoint.livejournal.com]

I was also conflicted between Dragoon and Soldier, but I think I'm going to go with Soldier. I got a very Squall/Light vibe from your personality section, leading me to the tough-one archetype of soldiers, and while some things pushed to Dragoon, overall I think your leadership and high level of organization point to a Soldier. Your idea of using your own strength, appreciation of military plots, the fact you like swords and gunblades... you're total a total classic Soldier to me ^^;

Thief

[haryan.livejournal.com]

I see Soldier for you, but I can see a bit of Dragoon as well in some of your answers. I was tempted to say Dragoon at first because Dragoon normally strike me as more introverted than Soldiers, and you said you're introverted and don't talk a lot. But you als mentioned you're a leder, and soldiers usually are the main characters of the game and have good leadership skills, and they're also normally confident and somehow reserved (..well, with the only exception of Tidus and Zack, I guess). So I'm leaning more towards Soldier in the end, and you definitely remind me a lot of characters like Squall, Lightning and Cloud.

[crescent-dreams.livejournal.com]

I can definitely see where soldier is coming from, but I just see a bit more Dragoon like traits in you. Calm, introverted, confident...etc. You have a very mature vibe and tone to your application, which is something I typically associate with Dragoons. There are also quite a few Dragoons that are fairly open minded, at least to some degree, mostly due to the fact that if you mind your business they will mind theirs as well. I could see some soldier like I mentioned, but I think they are a little more extroverted for the most part.

[hilian.livejournal.com]

I see Soldier in your application, even if I can see where the Dragoon votes are coming from. Some of your traits remind me of many Soldier characters. I think Soldiers, since they're often the leaders of the group, must be able to accept people are they are and have an order and a schedule to follow and they're normally introverted, calm and you also mentioned you like to lead.

[far-to-nowhere.livejournal.com]

I'm actually going for soldier for you. You're very conscious and intelligent and someone who others would follow. You definitely have some Dragoon in you but there are some reserved natured Soldiers too. You remind me of Lightning actually. And I thought it was interesting that you chose Quistis as someone you can relate to. Sounds like you're someone people look up to as a 'big sister' which feels very soldier/leader.

[the-404-error.livejournal.com]

I can see a lot of Soldier, especially considering the more reserved ones, but I kept on going back to Dragoon overall. None of them ever show any signs of close-mindedness and characters like Kain, Freya, and Cid do have a similar type of conscientiousness from how you described it both times. Out of all of the classes, they're the least likely to play in teams, and they're typically more calm, introverted, and confident. Many also end up being leaders, as even if they're not at the head of the party, most of them lead different divisions within the game. (I.e. Kain and Baron's Dragoons, likewise with Ricard and Freya to an extent.)

[plastic-vinyl.livejournal.com]

Honestlyyy, I think you resemble more of a Soldier . .mainly because of the dislike of the White Mages? idk. You were pretty hard for me to choose. Usually, Soldiers aren't all that sympathetic towards others, as you say you are - and they're also very reserved and calm. Your personality traits fit well with it, even though I debated back and forth between Dragoon and Solider, I'll stick to my first choice.
