the Inkblot Survey

Elim told me he was filling out your survey, so I zapped him the analysis you sent me (me and I chat well into the wee smalls; he is the evil twin, I am the eviller twin). This was his "translation" of what you really meant.

>>Dr. Bob - Protective - Dr. Bob is assertive and self-assured

Dr. Bob is an arrogant control freak ;)

>>It isn't what you say you can do but what your actions demonstrate that will prove the effectiveness of your services to your patrons.

A certain story comes to mind bout you saving the reception girls from some jerk, making every effort to help him ;)

** Quick interlude here; A very grumpy person stormed into the place demanding assistance and getting our receptionist very concerned for her physical wellbeing; I found out later she had just discovered she was pregnant. (I certainly didn't know at the time, and stop looking at me like that.) :-)

The guy was going off his trolley, and I heard him as I was (incidentally) going past. I took him aside to an intervue room, calmed him down, and assured him we would do everything possible to sort out his problem. He abused me (a very brave thing to do; I am 6'3", 115kg and an ex-Royal Marine combat infantryman. The smile hides a lot though) and then decided that I could actually give him what he wanted, so started fawning. Whatever he asked for, I smiled and said it wasn't possible. Even when he asked for a pencil and my name. By the time security appeared he was livid, in full flight, and eventually taken into custody. As a rule, I get on very well with our in house security people. They were stunned that I hadn't turned the guy into a thick paste.

>>When you work at promoting your ideas, you encourage people to notice your skills.

see above ;)

>>You hate asking for answers, but value a good suggestion if you can benefit from it. You have a strong desire nature which you often express in extreme ways.

translation : you hate answering stupid questions, and often like to belittle those who ask them ;)

>>When you do something, be sure that you have an objective in mind and are not just blowing off steam.

When you go to a bar and get piss drunk, make sure its for the express purpose of a woman, a fight, or kissing up to the boss ;)
