You are on your own (introvert) and with all the oxygen in your brains you can really do some good thinking. I find it quite inspiring.; ▶ Reply to This

In general, I'm not that much into sports; I'm pretty much lazy. However, I love doing sports in a group of people such as volleyball or basketball. And I love dancing (not only disco style, but especially ballroom dancing). But I hate every physical action I've got to do alone, individually. I'm a pure team player, I always need the add-on of socializing, chatting, having fun with others to get moving. I think this is very typical for a Social Realist who is supposed to be the most sociable of all 16 types .. ;-); ▶ Reply to This

At school I played hockey and netball but I wonder if I ever really liked them. Later I played chess, which I really loved. I've always dreamed of athletics, running events in particular, but was not good in it. :-(
I like watching football, gymnastics and wrestling.; ▶ Reply to This

I also attempted playing basketball, volleyball and swimming, but I wasn't really able to play them during the contest - because I backed out. Whew!! I also used to jog and walk , either alone or with friends, and I love it best when I do it on the shoreline. Whatever sport I am into, i love and enjoy it. I could say that I am the hyperactive type, or maybe, I JUST LOVE SPORTS. It is one of the ways that I employ in order to release stress and other negative energies.

All these parts need beeng developed. It is good idea that human should be well-balanced -- like Renaissance or Ancient Greek humans. It might be that my psychological type leads me -); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Felicitas Heyne on November 6, 2009 at 9:43am: Hi Alan,

actually there seems to be a relationship - though your preferences rather fit those of the Doers, to be honest ... ;-)

According to our research (and not only ours!), most ATs seem generally prefer to do their own thing at their own speed rather than join a group and have their activity schedule provided by someone else. Consequently they tend to be more a loner and less a team athlete or overly “clubby”. They are not interested in competition with others. Typically many ATs enjoy jogging, walking, climbing, bicycling, hiking, mountain climbing, cross country skiing or skiking in the summer. Additionally people of this personality type are often attracted by activities like diving, playing golf or shooting (regardless whether bow, crossbow or modern weapons) and this not under the aspect of endurance activities but rather due to their almost meditative character and sometimes even merely the need to concentrate.

So, anything among this appealing to you? Or maybe you should verify your personality type again - is there a Doer hiding anywhere in your soul? ;-)
Cheers, Felicitas; ▶ Reply to This

My usual sports include, jogging, bicycling (the last time I did this was when I was still a high school student, been very healthy before when with my father) and I try to play basketball with my younger bros at times, way back home. ^_^ And I love learning lawn tennis.; ▶ Reply to This
