I've personally never taken a personality test; I've always been concerned that I'd fail! 😂
I really, absolutely, 100% agree that I want to learn from my partner and vice versa. Traditional 'roles' are a thing of the past, just like "gender based" toys. Is it a toy? Yes? Then it's for anyone. Likewise for daily life. Do I need to cook tonight? Okay, I'll cook; I enjoy eating, too. I'll just draw the line at trying to give birth. No thanks.
Hey! Personality tests are really great, I highly recommend them because they can provide some clues for inner work. I think that we need to understand ourselves better before entering any new relationships. There are also tests for attachment styles , which can pinpoint the exact cause of why you might have difficulty in romantic situations or in any relationship in general. But one has to be open to admit that they have a problem before solving it. I can use the fact that " oh my personality is rare" as an excuse to not change or to continue to remain difficult in some aspects. But I choose to use it as a tool to better myself.
I trust science and facts. Although people change daily, there are some characteristics innate to them, which can offer clues. My type of personality can offer clues and it is a step toward understanding me, I would also love to find out other people's type so I could handle the social interaction better. Some clues though are quite compelling without that person saying a word.
Did I like the rarity of my personality? Only on paper because in real life one has to be tough minded to resist in an environment where they feel like the rainbow sheep lol. I have learned to wear my clothes with pride. Unfortunately before becoming aware of the assets that an introvert has, I was often ridiculed for being aloof, direct, nerd, too logical and too cold. I can be very warm and loving, only that I take a different path towards that in comparison with other people. And we should all respect that instead of ridiculing or bullying people. I have been through a lot .
I am very interested in personality traits because relationships are huge in every person's life. I want to be a better version of myself therefore I need the facts so I can have something to work with. To assume that it is perfectly fine how I am is not good as it would hinder any progress. I am aware of my flaws as the Universe always brought them in my face by mirroring them in other people.
Gender roles....uhm very good topic! I love a man who can cook, it is 1)very cute and adorable , 2) a skill, an asset of the couple, 3) a proof that he thinks outside the box and he can easily help the woman when she can't do the cooking.
With men I always thought like this: the more skills, the better. I would not like a man who cares more about what people think than about his own happiness. Both women and men put a facade, which is not true to their real personality, in order to look tough in society. If I show that I am soft or that I suffer, they will laugh. I have been in that place. And Hive was a great platform, and still is, for showing deeply buried sides of myself. I have shown my vulnerability and suffering and well. I still survived. I am still learning a lot in matters of love. Don't we all do? And the most important thing I look at a person is not how perfect they are , but how willing are they to change, to be better? What are they doing, not what they are saying....
Giving birth to a child.....uhm. I am a woman and I admit being scared myself. God can imagine what would a man do in that situation lol. Pregnancy must feel awesome to share with a loved one, as it is truly a miracle of life.
