I'm such a sucker for these tests. Seems to fit pretty well for me - but I didn't read the other types yet and historically I usually like to cull from them all when I describe myself. We still have only one Idealist.

More about Counsellors
Counsellors have a natural understanding of human relationships and the complexities of life, which they use to help others. They search for meaning in everything and develop complex insights. (My pdoc keeps complaining that I think too much - I think about thinking.)

Counsellors feel most relaxed and creative when their surroundings are organised. They are deeply private people who only share their insights with trusted friends; however, they will defend their values if challenged. (I'll share insights with anyone - love expressing ideas. And I may actually be way to self-disclosing at times. Maybe I'm trying for attention. )

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Counsellors may withdraw from the people around them or become resentful. Under extreme stress, Counsellors may feel overwhelmed and be driven to organise small parts of their lives such as their kitchen cabinets or their record collection. (LOL - yes.)

Counsellors typically prefer a few close relationships to a wide circle of friends. (Yes - I do. I'll take a few really close friends and then a wide circle of appreciative, interesting acquaintances.)

Counsellor Careers
Counsellors are often drawn to jobs where they can help people develop emotionally, intellectually or spiritually and where they can use their imagination. (Yes, Yes, Yes! Sign me up for the job!)
