Informers in Love
The Informer's Prime Directive:
Informers are inspired by information, understanding, ideas, facts, data and knowledge.
Recognizing the Informer
Informers are conservative in both nature and dress and tend to be conformists. They tend to pride themselves on their intelligence and are quite analytical in their approach to life, people and situations. They have little tolerance for people who are ignorant or ill-informed. They value being right over being popular.
What Moves The Informer To Action
To inspire an Informer, use words like "smart", "information", "facts", "documentation", "proven", "absolute certainty", and "intelligence." If you're speaking to an informer, you've got to be certain of what you're saying from a factual standpoint and accurate in your statement of figures and statistics. Informers respect and are inspired by intelligence in others.
To get an Informer to take action in the face of fear, reframe the necessary action as one that will lead to information, knowledge or certainty.
How Informers Inspire Others
Informers project and image of being calm, collected and in absolute control. Many people see strength in the Inspirer's ability to stay emotionally detached others around are losing their heads. Informers are confident when they speak since they rarely speak on matters on which they are uncertain. They are usually well-spoken and inspire others with their eloquence and command of the language. When an Inspirer gets involved in a business venture or an organization, they are the ones who know exactly what's going on at all times. They are the ones who others come to for information and insight.
How to Be A Better Informer
Informers, however, can tend to be aloof, detached and intellectual rather than intuitive in their approach to life. They tend to be extremely task oriented individuals who put the project ahead of the people. Therefore, Informers need to get in touch with their feelings, and the feelings of others if they are to grow and be successful. They need to be more people-oriented in their interactions and embrace confrontation (which they often see as conflict) as a means to achieve understanding and growth in relationships.
Where Informers Find Passion
Informers do better in professions and positions which reward knowledge, detail and accuracy. Informers make great accountants, engineers, computer programmers, bankers and statisticians. They tend not to do well in jobs or businesses which require people skills. However, because anything one does can be improved by knowing how to relate to others, Inspirers can succeed in any profession if they develop their interpersonal skills. Informers think in terms of the value of information. The information, order, analysis, perfection and attention to detail that characterizes them can itself be of value to others who seek these qualities in their own lives. The Informer's passion can offer ways for people to add knowledge and order to their lives.
Can Informers Turn Passion Into Profit?
If you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and willing to do what it takes to achieve a balance in your life, it is ultimately possible for any of the personality types to turn passion into profit.
Because they tend to value process more than people, and tend to be more task-oriented than relationship-oriented, informers may miss out on the profit and success that comes from being more intuitive in their approach to success, and in reaching out to others as valued contributors. The key to real success for you as an Informer while on the journey from passion to profit will be to "remember that your good comes through people, value your intuition and remember people won't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." (Take a tip from Walt's Friday Inspiration #167: "Still Keeping Score")
Informers in Love
In love, just as in business, Informers tend to be attracted to Exciters because they express the fun side, spontaneity and freedom that Informers have always wanted to feel. However, while there may be an attraction, the Informer is often frustrated by the Exciter's often chronic lateness, inaccuracy, and nonchalant attitude towards life. Informers get along well with Supporters since they both take life at a slower pace.

Very one dimensional though quite accurate. Many aspects are lost. Like your passion for girls and passion for aliens and David Icke.

What It Means to be an Exciter:
According to the test results, you have a high degree of "Exciter" in your personality/behavior type. Here are some insights into the patterns and personality of The Exciter.
The Exciter's Prime Directive
Recognizing the Exciter

Where Exciter Find Passion
Can An Exciter Turn Passion Into Profit?
Exciters in Love
The Exciter's Prime Directive:
Exciters are inspired by fun, enthusiasm, happiness and energy! Exciters gravitate towards activities that are fun, and exciting.
Recognizing the Exciter
Exciters tend to dress in loud bright colors which reflect their own bright, sunny disposition. They are outgoing and spontaneous and are inspired by the pursuit of a good time.
What Moves The Exciter To Action
To inspire an exciter, use words like "fun", "party", "enjoyment", and "freedom." If you're speaking to an exciter, you've got to be animated, expressive and enthusiastic to grab their attention. Notice them and things they do and they'll be your friend forever!
To get an Exciter to take action in the face of fear, reframe the necessary action as one that will be fun, and/or lead to enjoyment.
How Exciters Inspire Others
Exciters are the life of the party and inspire the same level of enjoyment of life in others. Exciters are people-oriented and make people feel welcome with their winning smiles and group-oriented behavior.
How to Be A Better Exciter
Exciters, however, can tend to be too "flighty." They may have a short attention span and tend to be a bit too impulsive in their behavior. To be a better Exciter, therefore, they should work on balancing fun with work. They should work on creating their long-term good rather than simply instant gratification. They should also work on controlling their emotions when things don't go their way.
Where Exciters Find Passion
Exciters do better in professions and positions which allow them freedom, interaction with others, travel, a changing environment, wealth and status. Exciters make great salespeople, stockbrokers bankers, investors. They tend not to do well in jobs that are repetitious, factual, or laden with paperwork, charts, graphs and numbers. However, because anything one does can be improved by imposing order in one's life, Exciters can succeed in any profession if they develop their Informer nature. Exciters think in terms of fun, people and socializing. The spontaneity, humor and popularity that are natural expressions of who they are can be of value to those who seek the same in their lives. Providing people with ways to experience joy in their lives can be a very profitable passion.
Can Exciters Turn Passion Into Profit?
If you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and willing to do what it takes to achieve a balance in your life, it is ultimately possible for any of the personality types to turn passion into profit.
While their desire to be everywhere at once favors the consumer side of our society, the Exciter must go against their normal grain to achieve their dreams. Because they are usually focusing on everything else but the task at hand, Exciters may miss the success that comes from patience, order and the ability to commit to tasks until their dreams come true. The key to real success for you as an Exciter while on the journey from passion to profit will be to "commit, focus, have patience and wait for your good to take shape." (Take a tip from Walt's Friday Inspiration Life Rhyme #177": Can You Wait That Far?)
Exciters in Love
Not wanting to stand still for too long, Exciters may have many partners during their life and leave a few broken hearts along life's journey. They tend to be attracted to Informers who have the organization, order and control that they lack. Exciters get along well with Competitors since they both take life at a fast pace.

Informers are conservative in both nature and dress and tend to be conformists.
I guess your just a conservative conformist Winston in spite of your beliefs to the contrary. Otherwise, result is off in your case.

Rock you're focusing on exceptions again and playing devil's advocate again, which is very narrow and doesn't see the big picture.
Obviously I'm not a conformist. My writings reveal that. Maybe my dress style is conservative. But that's just one sentence. The rest of the report was accurate. If a personality test is 75 percent accurate, it's considered significant and helpful.
These results are not written in stone. They are template guidelines to help point you in the right direction.

Why don't you guys take the Myer-Briggs Personality test?
That test is much more accurate and you can actually find different web forums for the different personality types.
And yes. I'm sure it's FREE somewhere!

Thing about these tests is, if you repeat them several times with months or more between each taking, result can vary a lot. Even if you repeat them over the course of days, result can be different. I guess it depends partially on how consistent a person is in his particular type.
