I need it, I want it...NOW

I recently had to go through some training at work where we underwent a personality analysis. Mine, not surprisingly, came back indicating that I have a "dominant personality." Some major characteristics: direct, domineering, daring, demanding, forceful, risk-taker and adventuresome. Apparently this means I am not peaceful, mild, quiet, unsure, dependent or modest.

Most of my results looked like synonym for biatch. Especially when one of the lines about me reads "Criticism is usually easy for you to deliver, as your drive for innovative solutions and perfectionism often relegates social concerns to the background." I was also the only person in my session to end up with this personality label (out of four possible personality choices in a session of about 12 people). When we went around the room to see if everyone agreed with the personality category our results had indicated one of my coworkers responded "oh yeah!" when we came to me.

This got me thinking about my lack of patience. I know that once I decide I want to have or do something I really don't like to wait for it. I can't stand when I feel like other things are holding me up. I think this is why I have such an issue with impulse shopping. I go to Traget, see cute shoes and think that I need to wear them to work tomorrow. Such was the case on Monday night. I ended up wearing the shoes today, but now I feel like they make my feet look like cloven hooves. Stupid strange toe cutouts (which are very fashionable at the moment). Too bad my personality analysis didn't say anything about that trait. I might have actually been able to apply it last week.
