Sandy,

It sounds like you have already done enough assessment of your 'strengths and weaknesses' and have a good understanding of all that.

So, you are already a step ahead of my recommendation. You just need to find the right niche where you'll thrive.

So, yes...use Gordon's wonderful information to just zero in on what that is. You're on your way to deepening your self discovery in a meaningful way.

Did you ever take a Performax Personal Profile? With reading your self description, you would be a high "C" type...or similar to Hippocrates 'melancholic' temperament.

It's definitely believable that you are a creative. So, you are on the right track. Creatives don't work well as routine practitioners or managers and aren't the typical 'worker bee'. They desire autonomy and are responsible and don't need someone looking over their shoulder. They ARE loners and work well in solitude. Right on!

But they also really need the fellowship and companionship of others who REALLY understand them. In the middle of 'like people', they even seem a bit extroverted at times when they are in their 'comfort zone' and can really fool others who see them as mostly introverted when viewing them in a less than nurturing environment.

You are in good company as a 'C'! Lots of creatives on the net. I'm right there with you!
Hang in there...
Amber
