do you believe in personality tests?

i do, and i don't. same with astrology. it's comforting for me to put the big wide world into boxes...but i like to still imagine that anything is possible. :) oh but the limiting, that is nice. 

so i took a result and am determined not to forget it, like usual (how useful is something you forgot??). today's result:

Qualitative analysis of your type formula

  • moderately expressed perceiving personality
it's kind of cool, i feel like i'm growing into myself. like, this label may have been true for years/decades, but I had stuff to prove, to see, to learn, to experience-- and stuff i was afraid of missing out on. so i suppressed what wasn't exactly cool. anyway, now i just want to be me, and happy. and this feels close enough :)

also, here is a partial list of possible careers for my "type". My current career is nowhere near these, though I have considered, and begun to pursue, most of the ones below. ha! Dear Mom - note that "costume designer" is not on the list. i love you!! (dear bf, here's a giggle)
