I am a mountain person, who are you?

The concept is simple. In what kind of landscape do you really feel comfortable? Personally I've realized that rather than being an adventurous, fun and stunning ocean person I'm most likely a mountain kind of guy. But what does that mean?

It's happened quite a few times in the last couple of months that we're sitting there talking about life or work in general while sharing a bottle of wine and someone says -"well, you know in all the tests I'm very much a "green" person." Or even more often -"I'm in the bottom right corner you know (I don't) (everyone nods that they know) so I'm a combination of extrovert and analytical. But like not fully extrovert, more somewhere in between. "
While tests like those fill an important role in work I can't avoid feeling it's the wrong way of doing things. First of all it's the issue of people actually being different in different circumstances. That doesn't mean we're all complete schizophrenics. Or maybe that's exactly what it means which might be a more sympathetic way to look at it. Most notably you see this when moving between work and your childhood home. At work you might be a working machine, a highly pedagogical manager or a pitch perfect psychopath but the moment you enter your childhood home you turn into something else. Some people stop picking up the dishes after themselves even after the age of 40 because that's mom's duties while others spend their life being overly respectful and tied up towards their elders. The way I see it, it's all still you but the test result probably won't apply on the whole of you. That's why I believe in going back further, to the roots.
