Who Am I?

I'm a Leo and a Ravenclaw. I'm blue and yellow, green, orange and yellow, green, and never ever red. I'm INFP, tender hearted but insecure, and so right brained that someone once doubted if there was anything in the left side of my skull. I'm abstract random and optimistic to a fault, a wee bit Scottish, a whole lot British and an Idaho native. I've been called a conservationalist, but I may also be an environmentalist. I'm a Mormon Democrat and a devout Christian (no matter what some of my Evangelical friends think!), and last but not least a bit ADHD. 

The part of me who majored in Psychology until a math statistics class turned me into a Psychology minor loves to take personality tests. I love them! Rationally, I know the validity tests is debatable at best. (Except that I really am a Leo and a Ravenclaw.) 

Recently, I listened to a Hidden Brain episode on NPR and found out I'm not the only one who loves categorizing my personality and giving myself labels. Many people have been harmed by various tests and I take all of them with a proverbial grain of salt. And I think we all know how devastating labels can be. We don't need any more ways to separate and segregate each other.

So, who am I really? I am a Child of God. And so are you!
