I'm not copying DaggerLeonelli...
... I'm copying Jeel, so that makes it okay. XD

Warm
You have a genuine interest in other people. You're a natural host, and are always thinking about how you can increase the happiness of those around you. When friends have problems or are in trouble, you're usually the first person they turn to for aid and comfort. Scoring high on the "warm" trait suggests that you are among those who enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't always say exactly what you're thinking; you don't like the idea of causing anyone pain because of your criticism.
Eh, sure. Helping others? Absolutely. Making the world a better place? If NOT treated the person behind the register like crap is making the world a better place, then sure. Enthusiastic about charitable work? In my head, I am- but do I actually execute? Not so much... I'm lazy at heart. XD And more often then not, I DO say what I'm thinking- I just have a better understanding of communication to realize what words can be used to better convey my meaning than most, so I make sure to speak my mind without rubbing people the wrong way. But I would argue that the "genuine interest in other people" thing is spot on.
Understanding
You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.
You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.
Of course I don't feel the need to impose my standards on others- they're MY standards. MY beliefs and MY opinions. Ergo, they are not TRUE, no more than yours are true- they are MINE and yours are YOURS and truth is fairly subjective. I'm more than happy to share them with anyone that's curious enough to hear, and in doing so, do my absolute best to make sure I share them in a way that is as un-painful as I can manage... but thanks to the bad rap most Christians are forced to bear, sharing my opinions (even when they're NOT related to religion) tends to get mistaken for preaching. Look, so long as people don't try to call me hypocritical, ignorant, in denial or a plain bigot, I won't call you the same. Simple as that. I enjoy chatting about just about anything, but in the end, for me, it's simply nothing more than an opportunity to learn, NOT challenge.
Scrupulous
You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.
You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
I do lie. I frankly think everybody lies, at least a bit. Most of all to ourselves. And I'm no exception to that. But I dislike it, and struggle with achieving greater honesty.
Empathetic
You are in touch with your own feelings, which helps put you in touch with the feelings of others.
You don't buy the logic that your happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless you're happy you're incapable of making anyone else happy.
True dat.
Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.
You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.
Also true, but I also tend to overthink just about everything, so while it does occasionally happen, the chances of me saying things that I later regret is slim. I do DO things that I regret, though, but that's normally as a result of either procrastination, sheer laziness, or thinking something is a good idea only to realize later, in hindsight, that I didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.
Eh... I'm aesthetic, sure, but I'm also quite practical. I'm the type that will go for the prettiest pair of $20 shoes that don't kill my arch. Functional, frugal AND purdy at the same time. A pretty picked flower in a glass can add just as much beauty to a room as an expensive painting or a lovely accessory.
Intellectual
You are thoughtful, rational, and comfortable in the world of ideas. People find you interesting to talk to. You're the living embodiment of the saying "You learn something new every day." In general, those with a high score on the "intellectual" trait are employed in such fields as teaching and research, and are enthusiastic about reading, foreign films, and classical music.
You do not avoid abstract conversation, experimenting with new ideas, or studying new things. It bores you to stick to the straight and narrow of what you already know.
I'm just a curious little Alice.
Sympathetic
You have a knack for knowing what's going on in the hearts and minds of those around you, without their having to tell you explicitly. People tend to turn to you with their problems because they know you care, and that you will likely offer good advice and a helping hand.
You do not feel that people with sad stories are just looking for attention, or have brought their problems upon themselves.
Again, not entirely true, because not all sad stories are created equal. I'm not the kind of friend that lets my friends feel sorry for themselves (ask Jill- I'm always delivering a loving slap-up-side-the-head to her <3). But to those who need an ear to bounce frustrations and thoughts on, I'm always there. And I'll give my honest opinion, too, whether that in their favor or against it. But nonetheless, I'll always be there for them. ILUALLSOBADKTHNX!
Innovative
You come up with a lot of ideas; if one doesn't work out, there's always another waiting in the wings. You often have interesting solutions to difficult problems. You're practically a one-person brainstorming session.
You are less interested changing the world than in dealing with things as they are. Unlike those who spend all their time trying to solve problems, you prefer to zero in on things that work and stick with them.
Oooh, I like that last statement! "Less interested in changing the world than in dealing with things as they are". I'm all for changing the world, because there's a lot that needs changing. But so many people believe that change inside starts with some huge fundamental change outside- like moving to a new place for a new start, or a new relationship, or a new job. As my pastor always says, the problem with changing these things is that you bring YOU along with you, which is ultimately the common denominator in every problem we face. I'm the kind of person that doesn't always like going out to a grocery store to shop for food every single day in order to bring a meal to the table- sometimes I just open up the fridge and work up some magic with what we've got. Certainly a principle I could benefit from using in my day-to-day life as well!
Creative
You are good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people miss. People with a high score on the "creative" trait often are employed in such fields as finance and scientific research, and enjoy avant garde and classical music as well as literary fiction and scholarly non-fiction.
You do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible.
Well, I certainly welcome abstractions and concepts, but just because they're abstract doesn't mean I'll automatically credit them above the concrete. I just go with whatever makes sense to me- which, according to others, is an entirely different plane of "sense" than most other people around me. I'm not a 1+1=2 person. I'm a (1x3)/2 + (2x1/4)=2 kind of person. I just can't always see the direct and simplest answer. Gave my math teachers in high school absolute hell, let me tell you. IT MAKES SENSE IN MY HEAD, I SWEAR!XD
