This test comes from https://www.keirsey.com and it labeled me as an Artisan.
Gil is the kind of guy who doesn’t just dream — he does. Whether it’s building websites, troubleshooting tech, running flea market setups, or hosting karaoke nights, he thrives in the real world of tools, tasks, and tangible results. He’s got a natural flair for the arts — not just the fine or performing kind, but the mechanical, entrepreneurial, and improvisational kind. The “art of the deal”? That’s second nature.
Artisans like Gil are wired for action. They’re impulsive, adaptable, and competitive — always ready to roll the dice and chase the thrill. Gil’s life has been a series of bold moves: from DJ booths to ham radio towers, from motorcycle rides to clay sculpting. He doesn’t wait for permission — he finds the road, even if it’s unpaved, and makes it work.
He’s got a winning way with people, too. Whether mentoring fellow hams or sharing stories with lifelong friends, Gil brings charm, humor, and a sense of loyalty that runs deep. He values freedom, autonomy, and the joy of living in the moment. Tomorrow? That’s a maybe. Today? That’s where the magic happens.
Artisans make up 15–20% of the population — and thank goodness, because they bring the beauty, excitement, and hands-on brilliance that keep the rest of us inspired.
I make things happen. I see the outcome in my mind, stay rooted in the present, and move fast. I’m task-oriented — give me a mission, and I’ll find the way. Challenges energize me. I don’t dwell on problems; I dodge, adapt, and keep going.
I thrive on variety and momentum. Sitting still? Not my thing. I brainstorm on the fly, organize mentally, and prefer action over explanation. If something needs doing, I do it. I ask for help when needed, but I don’t need supervision. I’m a doer — plain and simple.
People are my fuel. I work through people, with people, and for people. I’m direct, clear, and flexible. I value teamwork, but I’m just as comfortable flying solo. I believe work should be mutually enjoyable, and I celebrate achievements. Recognition matters — it’s part of my value system.
I love creating order out of chaos. Give me a messy space, and I’ll make it work. I’m drawn to things that look good and function well. I like someone with a little sizzle — and I value autonomy above all. I want the freedom to do things my way. Constraints? I push back. Feedback? I know it’s useful, but I don’t crave it.
I’m loyal, dedicated, and determined. I don’t have a ton of deep friendships, but the ones I do have are solid. I believe in trust, honesty, and standing by each other — even when we disagree. If our backs are to the wall, I’m there. And I expect the same.
I avoid people I don’t respect. I choose my circle carefully. I take on projects that matter to me, see them through, and move on if they stall. I like results. I like progress. I like the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day.
That’s how I deal with life — head-on, heart in it, and always moving forward.
