Personality Test 1

I have not had much experience with personality tests other then little quizzes from magazines or facebook. These are more or less made up and I am guessing that not much studying about the human development takes place before they are made.
According to this Personality Test there are four different temperaments guardian, idealist, artisan, and rational.

• As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly of their duties and responsibilities, of what they can keep an eye on and take good care of, and they're careful to obey the laws, follow the rules, and respect the rights of others.
  
• As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly of what they hope for and imagine might be possible for people, and they want to act in good conscience, always trying to reach their goals without compromising their personal code of ethics.
  
• As Concrete Utilitarians, Artisans speak mostly about what they see right in front of them, about what they can get their hands on, and they will do whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they have to bend the rules.
  
• As Abstract Utilitarians, Rationals speak mostly of what new problems intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic, they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and conventions if need be. 

Finding a ranking that suits me is hard because I can see bits and pieces of me in all of these temperaments. As a guardian, I strongly believe in tradition and that change is needed but it will not happen with the snap of your fingers:it will take time. I also feel that I am a trustworthy dependable and hard working person, however I am comfortable winging it  and I don't like being bogged down all the time. With that said, I portray some of the characteristics of an artisan but not to the same extent. I am normally pretty optimistic about things and I love working with my hands to create new things, but I like to plan them out and not rush to get it finished. Even though I like to be spontaneous and like an adventure from time to time it is not something I live for. The next two temperaments are where I am focusing my life: teaching and architecture. The idealist in me is enthusiastic about life and the place that I can go and who I can help along the way. I have always been known as Switzerland in that I typically stay in the middle of thing so that I help others get along with each other and that I try to be the glue in the group that bonds everyone together. I hate for people to be mad or upset with me so I tend to avoid confrontation by giving more of myself for the wants and needs of others. I also am a firm believer in the Lord and know that material things are not what is important in life, but a relationship with the Lord, family, and friends are. Last but not least is the rational in me. I love to use problem solving to figure things out and analysis things in order to get the best result. Education is the key to understanding and only way to accomplish our goals in life. I feel t hat we are constantly learning. By learning I can develop ideas and use my problem solving skills to come up with the best solution. However I do regard authority because if I disagree on something I tend hold it in due to the fact that I do not like confrontation. Thus, I feel that my ranking would be as followed: idealist, rational, guardian, and then artisan.
