Personality

I have been working though a personality profiling exercise, in preparation for a team-building event at work tomorrow. Or perhaps it is not necessarily team-building as such, but more about self-awareness, and awareness of others, and, perhaps, things in general; which might be helpful in order to stop tripping over the cat when I'm not concentrating where I'm going. Especially early in the morning, when Cat demands feeding instantly and I have only just dragged myself out of bed and it's dark outside and stairs seem quite a complicated concept. So I don't yet know how the test will turn out, although having done similar ones online in the past, I have a pretty good idea. Although it will be interesting to see if it comes out differently and  I reveal otherwise hidden depths to my complex (yet readily likeable) character.

Or I may be judged to have no personality whatsoever. Which would be unfortunate, but would probably explain a lot about my life achievements to date. And at least it would give me something to work towards: obtaining a personality, from wherever you might get them. It would be interesting, I suppose, to start again with a blank canvas, and decide to become anything I wanted. Perhaps a reckless extrovert with a high degree of empathy for my work colleagues and a knack for arriving at meetings on time. It would be a difficult decision to make: deciding on a new personality, just like that. I have enough trouble choosing what to buy for tea.
