KIERSEY PERSONALITY TEST
 As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly of their duties and
responsibilities, of what they can keep an eye on and take good care of, and
they're careful to obey the laws, follow the rules, and respect the rights of
others.
 As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly of what they hope for
and imagine might be possible for people, and they want to act in good
conscience, always trying to reach their goals without compromising their
personal code of ethics.
 As Concrete Utilitarians, Artisans speak mostly about what they see right
in front of them, about what they can get their hands on, and they will do
whatever works, whatever gives them a quick, effective payoff, even if they
have to bend the rules.
 As Abstract Utilitarians, Rationals speak mostly of what new problems
intrigue them and what new solutions they envision, and always pragmatic,
they act as efficiently as possible to achieve their objectives, ignoring
arbitrary rules and conventions if need be.
