this feels right

Last night, I took the BBC's What Am I Like? test. What follows are the results.

Your answers suggest you are an Idealist
The four aspects that make up this personality type are:

idealist?

Summary of Idealists
Make sense of the world using inner values
Focus on personal growth
and the growth of others
Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
May sometimes appear stubborn


More about Idealists
Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfillment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress, Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.

Idealist Careers
Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.

I've italicized anything that I found personally relevant. I find it fascinating that 20 questions can give a more accurate picture of what I'm really like than *lots* of people that I know in real life.
