This is who I am to a tee

Here's my personality to a tee:

Peaceful Phlegmatic:  The watcher:

• Easy Going:  I got written up once for being too relaxed at a code
• Quiet:  I speak only when there's something worth saying (although I do fail on occasion)
• Comfortable clothing: Large and loose.  Comfort comes before looks.
• Light on their feet:  Never wear coats, boots, pads, etc.  
• Blends in:  Humble, and don't like being in the spotlight
• Steady worker: I get my work done and do it well (yet I do cut corners)
• Flexible:  I don't care when I work, and am more than eager to come in when called.  

Strengths:

• Steady:  Keep going forward
• Reliable:  Will get it done in a timely manner
• Consistent:  Will do it the same every time 
• Curious: Always thinking and looking for new answers
• Observant: They look, they see, but they do not speak
• Empathetic: They care about people's feelings
• Good listener:  I'm all ears. Would rather listen to you than hear me.
• Calm:  Again, I've been written up for being too calm.
• Witty:  I'm pretty much as my blog might indicate.
• Kind:  Easy to get along with
• Has few enemies: I even get along with the arrogant and condescending
• Low Key: Humble

Weaknesses:

• Dislikes change:  Hate it.  I just want to keep things the way they are.  I'm very conservative.
• Uninvolved:  I come up with ideas, but it's up to others to sell them.  
• Avoids conflict at all costs: Conflict to me is trying to keep all the people in my life happy.  Sometimes I can't keep both my boss happy at the same time as my wife, because one wants me to work, and the other wants me to be home with the kids.
• Super stubborn when pushed:  Very much so.  I hate stupidity.
• Hard to get moving: Yes, I put relaxation, sleep and recharging before doing things that are monotonous, like frivolous breathing treatments, cleaning up after the kids, etc. I am very hard to get motivated.  Although, once I act, I do a great job. Funny thing is, when I attend meetings I generally vote not to change anything. 

Emotional needs:

• Peace and quiet:  I sacrifice sleep every morning and get up at 5 a.m. so that I can get my 2 hours of peace and quiet.  This is my recharge time.  
• Feelings of worth:  I just want people to show that they respect me.
• Lack of stress:  I say all the time I hate stress.  If any change is going to amount to any degree of stress, than I am all against it.  
• Sleep:  Most people like me are teased because we are seen as big sleepers.  I do not sleep well, but I must get plenty of it in order to prevent stress.
• Respect for who they are:  I expect this a lot.  Generally, any conflict in my life resolves around this.  

Truly, there's not much else to say about me.  However, you'd have to add that I'm a thinker, creative, and I like to be organized (although not at the expense of relaxation).  These other traits, however, come from my secondary personality: melancholy. Melancholy people tend to be creative and thinkers. 

I cannot change who I am.  I think the most difficult thing for any young person is learning who they are, and then accepting who they are.  This is me.  Respect it.
