You sometimes feel anxious or slightly down in the dumps, although no more so than most people. Most of the time you are quite happy with life.. Criticism sometimes upsets you, although you are willing to accept constructive criticism if you feel it is warranted.

You tend to be somewhat unconventional and imaginative in your approach to life, and seek out new experiences to try. Others are likely to see you as somewhat innovative, regularly coming up with new ideas or ways of doing things. You are happy to try new methods of doing things, and feel quite comfortable taking the occasional risk.

Small details are not as important to you as they are to most people; you generally prefer to look at how things relate to one another rather than concentrate on details.It is likely that you need to find your work interesting in order to maintain your motivation. While you accept the importance of work, it is likely to be important to you to spend a significant amount of your time in leisure pursuits.

Although you sometimes enjoy social occasions, you occasionally enjoy time on your own or in the company of a small group of close friends. People are unlikely to see you as either shy or ?larger than life?. You are a realist, and can see both the positive and negative aspects of most things.

You do not always trust people and can sometimes be rather suspicious of the motives of others. If you doubt the competence of someone, you can be rather impatient with them. In situations where you disagree with someone, you will usually argue your case with them.

Well, this is what mine says:

You can be rather anxious at times, and tend to worry if things are not as you would like them to be.. You may become upset by the insensitivity of others, and may take criticism rather personally.

While you are quite settled in your life, you occasionally seek out new experiences to try. You will occasionally take risks if you feel they are very likely to come off.

Getting things right is important to you, and you make efforts to avoid careless mistakes wherever possible. You are usually well motivated and determined, and tend to approach your work in quite a structured, disciplined way. You are likely to be committed to your work and will work extra hours if required. You may be seen as something of a perfectionist.

Although you sometimes enjoy social occasions, you occasionally enjoy time on your own or in the company of a small group of close friends. People are unlikely to see you as either shy or ?larger than life?. You are a realist, and can see both the positive and negative aspects of most things.

Do you think there is a mumsnet personality? This rings true:
