About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep in touch with more realistic idealists.

ABOUT ME

I am a person resistant to stress, who is able to live in conditions difficult physically and mentally even if they last for long time.
Difficult situations do not hold me back against undertaking problematic matters, I prefer challenging projects with large degree of uncertain tasks. My reactions are usually adapted to requirements of situation; I also react on strong and long-lasting impulsions adequately. What distinguishes me is large endurance; I am resistant to tiredness too. I used to be a very active, energetic, sociable person; a situation in which I can not act make me uncomfortable. I am able to refrain from reacting or showing my emotions when need arises, however it is difficult for me. I am a self-controlled person with a cheerful temper, who rarely produce negative emotions. I possesse a scarce ability to stay calm in difficult situations. When I stop one activity to do something else, I find my concentration somewhat dispersed. I am a very conscientious person, reliable and precise, cooperative rather than dominant. I do not tend to dominate anyone and I will not allow anybody to dominate me either. I do not like the monotony and mindless routine, and I am very flexible, but self-controlled emotionally. The flexibility of thinking enables me to adjust to a group of people easily. In a new situation I behave spontaneously, I generally respect social norms and show an exceptional sensitivity in interpersonal relations. My personality is well-balanced; I am able to cooperate in a team but make friends hard; knowing a person for a short time I keep my distance.

Sociability, ability to connect with others easily, social awareness, readiness to help, enthusiasm, readiness to sacrifice for others, lack of dominating tendencies, maturity, responsibility, certain passivity- it's all about me ;-)
Yet: openness of mind, flexibility, ability to think “outside the box”, ability to solve problems creatively.
But also I maight be connected with impulsiveness, irresponsibility, emotionality, however, this kind of behaviors appears very rarely because the structure of my personality and temperament shows the emotional stability, conscientiousness and the high value for persistence and good work organization.
