Working with Chemistry.com, she developed a system of four basic personality types. These are Explorers, Builders, Directors, and Negotiators. There’s a test in the book that will help you determine your main and your secondary personality types.

I am a Negoiator/Explorer. I tend to over-think things especially when it comes to relationships, I use my imagination a lot, and I like to talk about the very subjects that I am over-thinking. My secondary personality aspect, the Explorer is sexual, impulsive, and creative. Yep, that fits, too.

I haven’t had my boyfriend take the quiz yet, but I’m pretty sure he’s a Negoiator, as well. He’s the same with the over-think-iness. And the talking about it. I love that about him. He examines his feelings, shares what he’s discovered, then re-examines the entire thing.  A man who wants to talk about a relationship. How cool is that?

My friend, Scarlett, looked at the book and she said she’s read it all before, but I noticed that she had a hard time putting it down. She’s like me in the wanting to think things through, examine them, figure out the motivation behind a particular action or turn of phrase.

If you are interested in reading about what makes you and your partner or your would-be partner tick, then I suggest you take a look at Helen Fisher’s book. She’s an easy read which is not always the case with relationship books.

Emergency Offbeat Post!!! – it was an emergency post for a reason, a good one, this structure rocked. It still does.

How to Use Spam to Build an Offbeat House – I think Alessandro Ludovico creates genius work. Due to the utter lack of comments and views this post got, no one apparently agrees with me. I don’t care. It’s still one of my fave Sept posts.

Current Obsession: The Camouflage House – my obsession is still strong; I love this house.

50 Soul Warming Ways to Inspire the Next Generation of Offbeat Architects – I really liked this post, and better yet, so did my son Cedar. He still asks to see it.
