As someone with a penchant for criticism, I’ve often found myself misjudged as “being negative” when mere complaint is furthest from my intention. I’m here to explain myself and people like me.

Welcome to Personality Type! Below are four questions, and descriptions of two different lists of personality "preferences." Both lists have their own strengths and blindspots.

Negative sarcasm, where positively worded utterances convey negative attitudes, is used frequently in everyday language.

So let's look at what you can determine from watching someone else's eyes. Basic Observation If you watch and note what people are watching, along with any reactions they have to what they see, you can learn a lot about them.
