"We are Family!"

*Quick update:  Dad made it home safely around 8:00 last night, so both of them are happy to be home and recovering... and family and friends have already been bringing meals and desserts and such... awesome! :)
Okay, now for anyone who finds all this as fascinating as I do, here is a link to the Driver -- Amiable -- Expressive -- Analytical personality test:
My results:  57% Amiable
                      21% Analytical
                      14% Expressive 
                        7% Driver

That seems pretty accurate, and made me laugh.  I was thinking about me, Malori, Chet, and Nathan... or me, Mom, Dad, and Rachael as I read the articles.  Fitting!  Thank God I don't work in sales!  Strangely, I was talking to Malori just last week about Rach's ability to put together unique clothes, hair, jewelry, and makeup that I'd never dare to think that I could pull off, yet she looks great in them... an Expressive trait, apparently... interesting!

Also, this quote from the aritcle covering the Amiable type in a sales setting really cracked me up...
"Amiables form an easy relationship with each other and naturally treat them like they were family.  The challenge is the other half of the world, (the other three personalities,) probably don’t want to be treated like family. The Driver wants to be treated like a player, the Analytical wants to be treated like an expert, and the Expressive wants to be treated like a celebrity. None of those come naturally to the Amiable personality."  ~Bob Phipps
True story! :)
Okay, that's all for now on this subject.  Happy Friday!
