I took a personality test today. (Never mind which one)

There are some personality tests that make you feel good regardless. This one is different.

For example the test said in a room of 100 people, I would be the least polite person. It’s true too.Unless I made an effort.

As far as I know, at my age, a personality doesn’t change much. It’s the patterns of thinking that make us who we are. It’s like a configuration.

The thing about this personality test is, it doesn’t tell you what to do about it. It’s like a mirror. It just gives you a picture. And then I have to use my personality, to solve my personality, which is a little bit funny.

Anyway, I texted some of my results to a close artist friend and he was not in the least bit surprised. And then he gave me one of his brilliant one-liners.

“Go do some actual work. Wastin time on shit like tis”

We all need a close artist friend, that one person that do what artist do. They see and they tell you what they see with equal clarity.

ps: this is the one.
