home truths

Oh, and! I really like this meme thingy, the Johari Window (stolen from verlaine). It's about how well your idea of yourself matches up with others' views of you. The original article about it is here.

I've picked the six words from this list that I think most accurately describe me. Now I'd like you to pick six to describe me (preferably without reading the other comments, if there are any!), and when enough people have answered I'll tell you which ones I chose and we can draw a psychological diagram, with quadrants and stuff:

able, dependable, intelligent, patient, sensible, accepting, dignified, introverted, powerful, sentimental, adaptable, energetic, kind, proud, shy, bold, extroverted, knowledgable, quiet, silly, brave, friendly, logical, reflective, spontaneous, calm, giving, loving, relaxed, sympathetic, caring, happy, mature, religious, tense, cheerful, helpful, modest, responsive, trustworthy, clever, idealistic, nervous, searching, warm, complex, independent, observant, self-assertive, wise, confident, ingenious, organised, self-conscious, and witty

(I know, they're all a bit nice, aren't they?)

I don't do that tagging thing, but this is a meme I'd like to see lots of people picking up. Go on, let me tell you what I think of you.

Don't like the wordset much, I have to say. Too many near-synonyms and very few of the words are ones I'd normally choose to describe someone.

I was bothered by the synonyms too. I mean, "bold" *and* "brave"?
