Personality Questions:

1) List and expand upon your three best traits / strengths. (These should be personality-related, not physical.)
Honest: I am very honest however I am not the type who will tell you the truth in your face everytime you say something even if you don't wish to. I'd say I speak when I feel it's needed and my opinion always will be honest. I don't really know how to explain it, You ask me if you look good in that and I will tell you yes or not. I am not sugar-coating anyone.

Loyal: Again, I have no idea how to explain it. It's hard to be a close friend to me and I don't let everyone "in" so you need to earn my trust and respect. Once you do that, I'll be loyal to you since my close friends are everything to me. I don't want to write more because I don't really.. feel comfortable about talking with stuff like that :x

Independent: I am good at taking care of myself, getting stuff done by myself, I think for myself etc. I always do stuff by myself and i like it. I don't like to ask for help unless i am really lazy, tired or really cannot do something. I always think I can deal with everything myself which makes it rather a negative trait too.


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

Private: I am a private person and that makes me quite secretive too. I don't like to talk about problems with others and let them know what's going on with me or in my life but i do appreciate if they're actually itnerested. While I might sometimes mention some smaller problems, it's really hard to make me talk about myself. Actually I am not only like that about problems, there are some other stuff too but again, I don;t want to get into details.

Mischievous: hell I am and that's not a good thing :'D Sometimes i cannot help but to do or say something that will piss or frustrate another person. I know that's something mean of me to do but who said I am not mean in the first place? The point is, a good friend would know I am just like that and will accept it since if i am like that to a good friend, it's not in order to be mean but for fun or just because I am like that. When it comes to everyone else then...

Short-tempered: or as my friends call it "calm with berserk button". Most of the time I am pretty cool and collected and it's not exactly easy to make me frustrated but it's also not very hard. I get annoyed easily, even over some things some people wouldn't expect. I wouldn't say i get annoyed at everything though because I am quite patient and I still remain calm, most of the time. However if something manages to make me really angry i get all aggressive and "berserk" but i am working on it and it's improving quite a lot.. not that you care but...
Sorry if my explanation sucks, i'm quite tired.

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: Introverted all the way. I don't really know how I should explain it? I am reserved in my behaviour, I am not very open about my feelings, problems, emotions to the point where i can keep everything inside me for years and never telling anyone etc.

Cheerful [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Gloomy
Explain: I am definitely not cheerful but I wouldn't really call myself that gloomy either. I don't get excited easily, I keep my cool, I am not very expressive, I am cynical but at the same time I am not that gloomy (as i said before. I am trying not to write one worded answers haha).

Leader [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] Supportive
Explain: Well, I definitely have leader-type personality but more like leading from the background? I never liked spot-light. I can follow as long as I respect the leader and know they respect me and my opinions too, I am not that type of person to blindly follow whether it's something small or not. However, if I am a leader I usually try to hear out everyone and come up with the best possible thing to do instead of being close-minded and thinking I am the only one who is right. I hope I make any sense, it's quite late now D:

Confident [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] [ ] Modest
Explain: I was sure there to put the cross actually. I am a confident person but not overly so at the same time I have heard quite a lot of times that I am modest too but not overly so. I don't know if it's because of my lack of confidence about some of my abilities or what but I have heard that a lot too. I put the cross in the middle because I can be indecisive like that.

Reserved [x] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Impulsive
Explain: I rarely act on impulse unless... it's really needed and there is really no time to think? 98% of the time I think before I speak, I think before I do something etc. I guess I can become more impulsive with my words or actions when I get angry but it's improving now so...

Energetic [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Calm
Explain: Well, I am calm but not overly so? I am probably something between calm and middle-energy. I don't know how I can explain that.

Feminine [ ] [ ] [ ] [x] [ ] Masculine/Tomboyish
Explain: I dunno how to explain? I never liked dresses or flowery patterns, I don't remember myself being emotional (not that every feminine girl has to be emotional of course), I have always had a bit tomboy-ish style and personality. Again, I am not really sure how to explain that.

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 prefer to work by myself or with one person I really get along well AND respect them. I have a hard time communicating with groups, especially when there is work to do. It's much easier and faster for me to do stuff alone rather than trying to explain everything to everyone, share the work etc. Did I mention I get annoyed easily? Well, put 6 people in a group and I am sure i will get annoyed sooner than you think. However if there is person i actually get along with, it means they're understanding so if i wanted to do something myself, they'd understand. It's always good to have someone to back you up at times too. Answers for the other question: I like to make decisions, lol. I always need to be sure of what am I doing before actually doing it.

5) What interests/hobbies do you have? How do you like to spend your free time? Playing vgames, being on lj, chatting on msn, stamping comms, watching movies, making graphics, reading, buying things if i actually have money and boring stuff like that. My life is not very interesting alright.

6) Describe one to three careers you would find ideal, with a little explanation of why it appeals to you. I don't really know... I am at that point where I am pretty much confused about it. I have always wanted to be a lawyer but i hate lying and it is sometimes (or more often than not) needed in that job. I think it's a job that would actually keep me busy which is something i'd love (obviously free time is something i appreciate too). Next one has something to do with games, be a video game developer. I love playing games and like it when story and characters are actually developed and have a lot of personality. I think that would be something really enjoyable to do for me, especially since i would probably be all about my work then and i love that feeling when you're busy because you;re doing something you actually enjoy. however I don't think I have abilities for that. Last one.. idk i have been kinda wanted to work in pharmacy, lol. No specific reason other than you have to study chemistry which i like a lot but that's.. a pretty shitty reason.


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. FFIV, FFX, FFXIII. FFIV is absolutely amazing though the DS sprites are too cute for my taste. I love the story and the characters. FFX & FFXIII on the other hand.. it's all thanks to story. I like characters quite a lot too, especially in ffxiii but story was the main factor. I also loved leveling up system in both and battle system in ffxiii. I simply enjoyed those games a lot, to the point where i didn't want to stop playing it and leveled up like crazy. Also, i don't often do missions and sidequests but in those I did. Judge me if you wish.

8) List one to three of your favorite Final Fantasy characters and why: Tidus, Zack and Fang because they're amazing? Tidus gets a lot of hate for being whiny but that's probably why I like him so much, he developed a lot, grew up and is a well-developed character but i know how much hate he gets so i will stop here. Fang pretty much for the same reason. Fang is determined, brave, independent and wasn't afraid to go against everyone because she didn't agree with what they wanted to do, she has some guts haha. Zack because... you don't want to hear my essay, haha.

9) One to three characters you relate to (you may reuse answers from #8 if applicable) and why: I thought about it for quite some time and while I am not ffvii fangirl or anything, I do relate the most to Cloud. We kinda act similar way, react to situations similar way, we have similar non funny type of humor. Although I sometimes think of myself as a lovechild of Cloud & FFVII!Reno (not Adevent Children Reno, please). I am mischievous, rude at first etc. that fits Reno quite a bit. I am also not emotional or insecure like some people view Cloud. I am afraid I don't have another character I associate with. I have been also compared to Lightning, Fang, Paine and Faris. I know I am like Paine, I don't really associate with her. As for Faris, sadly I don't know her yet. Okay I wrote a lot about nothing.

10) The FF game you liked playing least: FFVIII :'D

11) One to three FF characters you dislike and why: Rinoa, Quistis and Snow. You don't want me to get started, especially since I know how many fans Rinoa have. I don;t want to be hated on here.

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): To be perfectly honest with you, I don't even have one. Give me a sword or a spear that actually do some damage and I will be satisfied. Well unless it's as huge as Garland's sword, then i'd mind.

13) Your favorite Final Fantasy summon (e.g. Ifrit, Carbuncle, Bahamut, etc.): Does tonberry count? I love the guy, he's small cute yet badass with that knife. If not then Bahamut. He's pretty much my favourite ever since my first FF game and I never changed my mind. He's powerful and yet i always feel he has that "gtfo" attitude around him. Call me weird but I always think that. Also Mega Flare is one of my favorite attacks, it's also challenging to fight him, I think. Sheva is a second close though.

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.): Waterga, Aeroga, Jump, Confuse, Hastega, Highwind. Lots of variety alright.

15) A Final Fantasy mini-game/sidequest you invested entirely too much time into: I usually don't like sidequests but hmm... Sidequests in FFX, missions in FFXIII and ninja game with Edge in FFIV. Maybe that's why these are my favorite. They had the only sidequests & mini-games that actually kept me interested.

16) Your favorite Cid: lolol I cannot help but love that question. Dr. Cid. I pretty much dislike every Cid but him, Raines and maybe Highwind but he's not my favorite.

17) Optional: Up to one class you think does not fit you, with reasoning why. Monk. While I prefer offensive attacks over anything else, they're too much on offensive side and... well I simply don't see myself as monk. Never did and probably never will.

A Monk, why do you even ask. SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST. Anyway, I think a Dragoon for you, although I kept going back and forth between that and a Soldier. But a Soldier strikes as more impulsive and reckless than you are, though you're definitely protective with a strong sense of leadership. So you can pretty much imagine how hard I tried to decide what fits better, haha. So as I said, I think Dragoon fits you better because they're calmer, way more private and somewhat mischievous in a way. Your "rate yourself" answers also reminded me the most of this class!
