Using a few pieces of writing (vignettes, opinion pieces, etc):

    You are heartfelt, rational and restrained.

    You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are self-assured: you tend to feel calm and self-assured. And you are calm under pressure: you handle unexpected events calmly and effectively.

    Experiences that give a sense of well-being hold some appeal to you.

    You are relatively unconcerned with achieving success: you make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them.

Fairly accurate except for the part about my unconcernedness with achieving success. Or is this a way to learn a bit more about yourself???

When fed strictly analytical essays from school:

    You are shrewd, skeptical and tranquil.

    You are imaginative: you have a wild imagination. You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. And you are calm under pressure: you handle unexpected events calmly and effectively.

    Experiences that give a sense of prestige hold some appeal to you.

    You are relatively unconcerned with both taking pleasure in life and tradition. You prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

The last sentence is really true; I tend to go off prompt a lot when writing my essays, which gets me into trouble now and again.
