HumV 4X4: just plows life thru no matter what gets in the way; they like to win; poor listeners; high in goal orientation, bottom line people. They like to control; they are "to the point."

Volvo: Slow but sure; like to be precise; like numbers and charts.

Sportscar: friendly and outgoing; like to have fun, but are disorganized. Fun and dynamic; they are volunteers.





Yep, I was the sportscar. Interestingly, there were fewer of us than the other groups, which were evenly divided. I asked the facilitator about that, and he said that was what usually happened.

Can you be 2 different ones? Like a really souped up mini van?

I'm a HumV, I'm not a people person at all. I don't really like to control others, I just like to be left alone.
DH is a HumV also so we understand each other really well.

never owned a Volvo, but that sounds like me.

all my vehicles have been boxy station-wagon-like things.

like, a Volkswagon squareback.



and a Toyota Minivan.



and a Dodge Colt Vista.



and... a Subaru Forrester.



if I'd had the $$$ I would've bought a Volvo.

so, my daughter says to me... "Mom? You realize, you're buying what looks like the same car, over and over, right?"

I am like Suzy - a crossover between a minivan (in reality, I hate them) and a sports car. DBF has a corvette and I love, love, love it. Whenever we take it out I get to drive.

I drive a Buick Rendezvous SUV, but sometimes I think I should be in the Tricycle w/training wheels category.

And, Snoops~~ you are definitely ONE of a KIND!

I used to be more of a people person than I am today. Been so many times in my life that I began to build walls for self-preservation. If you don't open yourself up to be hurt, they can't hurt you right? Well, I've found out that that's not always the case. Some how, some way....evil people will find you (Murphy is a good example) and go out of their way to drop bombs in your life.

I'm a friendly person, always have a smile for strangers, and try to spread good cheer....but in work situations, I avoid the gossip mongers, the butt kissers and keep my nose in my work, take home my check and give them their moneies worth. Then there's the jelouse workers who hate me because I DO well....I swear, it never ends....

Remember the "DOT THERORY" I posted in General Chat? Thats how I try to live my life now. Its working for me, and I LOVE Message Boards...this is not my only one, but it IS my favorite

EDIT: I was replying to the first post above...but see the thread has taken a "turn"

I KNOW you can imagine me in my BIG 4x4 4 door Chevy Truck....pushing my way through, people get out of my way LOL!! Guess that sums me up LOL!!!

Not a people person although there are a few I just connect with for some reason - men have always been easier to talk to then women - they don't seem to have as much of an agenda -
