RHETI Test (scientific personality profile)

monotony mentioned this test in a recent entry. From the scientific profile, it appears that this is a good version of the Enneagram test (definition here), which appears to be an agreed-upon method of personality classification.

I took their short test here, and while I found the answering of the questions to be quite challenging (i.e. I thought I fit right in the middle of most of the statements), I don't disagree with the results. They say that your top three scores for the nine basic personality types are a good indicator of your overall personality. My top three scores are as follows (vyus, this test says that I'm complacent, too!):

Type 2 - The Helper
The caring, interpersonal type: generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive

Type 7 - The Enthusiast
The busy, fun-loving type: spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered

Type 9 - The Peacemaker
The easygoing, self-effacing type: receptive, reassuring, agreeable, and complacent

redeemed myself in Scrabble; dropped mom at the airport this morning

Enjoyed the visit with my mom very much. I feel a bit like taking a couple of more days off right now, but I don't think I will. True, the time spent with her was fairly busy and activity-filled, but I don't think I'm too tired to require much further rest, apart from some more good sleeps.

I got two important things from her visit. One, she gave me some great yoga instruction to enhance my daily practice. And two, I learned some interesting things about eating from her. Re the former, she taught me a simple yet thorough routine that stretches every major muscle in the body in 30 minutes. It's a versatile program that can be lingered upon or developed further according to the circumstances. (By the way, she has been teaching yoga privately for a number of years, and I found her approach to be quite effective. If anyone in the Calgary area would like to attend one of her classes, I could send her schedule.)

I dropped her off at the airport this morning sometime before 6 AM, so now it's situation normal here again. I'm on my way to change and do some housework, but I bet I'll be back online later. A week with decreased access to the internet was fine, but I'm ready to get back to work again.

Damn. What is it exactly that I consider my work to be, again?

Brad Fitzpatrick, our illustrious founder, is interviewed in the current issue of shift magazine in the context of blogging becoming one of the top ten trends to watch out for in 2002. He said some cool things. I was proud to see him there, and to see LJ get such a nice plug. I didn't know that there was an LJ client for the Palm OS. My Palm doesn't connect to the internet though, so that wouldn't be too useful for me. I'm always here at home anyway.

Another early blogger, Matt Haughey, was featured for a community he founded a couple years ago called MetaFilter, which I've never heard of but looks interesting. Appears to be a community blog with a large number of members. The article is published online here.
