Sure get realistic on me... OK how about seeing them as a combination of 
multiple balanced personality features which society values in different 
contexts ;-)
Disciplined, Prudent, Determined  , Spirited, Decisive ... Precise and 
Focused

I think of them as psychological equivalent of physical stamina and 
speed muscles

*Decisive* 	

you decide quickly some call you rash but you go with it... when you 
decide right it can really work because you commit quickly - *Opposite 
Prudent*

*Prudent* 	you take your time about making decisions but this means 
those decisions are more often correct - though occasionally too late. 
*Opposite: Rash / Decisive.*
*Relaxed* 	You don't stress out under fire even, some think you don't 
take things seriously but you perform as well under fire as some do.* 
Opposite: Uptight.*
*Precise* 	Your performance when things are stressful isn't what it 
could be and some call you uptight, but your everyday performance can be 
quite noticeably exacting.* Opposite: Relaxed*
*Alert* 	You are more aware of things other than what your are 
concentrating on than most people. Its harder to sneak up on you to gain 
advantage... *Opposite: Focused. *

most people. Its harder to break your attention *Opposite: Alert*
*Determined* 	When you make a decision you cant be shaken some call you 
Stubborn but You believe in your decisions. Its hard to influence you. 
You cannot be adaptable *Opposite:Adaptable*
*Adaptable* 	You are open to various ways of thinking and can change 
according to the demands of the situation. You find learning new things 
easy. You can be influenced to drift from chosen paths. *Opposite:Stubborn*
*Creative* 	You actively need to create, you actively enjoy finding your 
on solutions to problems and enjoy originality for its own sake

decisions. Some call you dependable others call you a stick in the mud. 
*Opposite:Spirited*
*Spirited* 	You are something of a rebel and this energy tends to 
express itself in your individuality and backing or your own personal 
decisions. *Opposite:Disciplined*
*Enigmatic / Complex* 	You are mysterious about yourself some think its 
because you like it that way... but not necessarily you can have 
difficulty understanding your own motivations *Opposite:Honest*
*Honest / Simple * 	You present the truth and yourself the way they are 
and figure others need to deal with it You probably understand yourself 
and even know your own darkness and have learned to accept them this is 
at times and extra tough of confidence. You may need to resist revealing 
your darknesses to others. People will indeed tend to trust you. 
*Opposite:Complex*
*Fuzzy Thinker* 	You actually see the whole picture and can find unusual 
connections that others dont get. *Opposite:Mind for Details*

missing the forest because there are too many trees in the way.

even hurt a lot. *Opposite:Cautious*
*Deceptive* 	You prefer no-one knowing where you are coming from and 
like to change course often to make sure of it, some consider you 
un-dependable others think this makes you mysterious.
*Instinctual* 	You go with your gut this is generally a quick thing, 
things work the way nature inspires them.
*Analytical / Rational* 	You have to know what you see is real... you 
demand proof. And everything has a reason.
*Spiritual* 	You like mystery and enigma... to much heavy handed 
explaining spoils things, something only needs to be intuitively correct.
*Emotional* 	You like to ride your feelings even tho they may be a 
roller coaster ride... and are able to understand the feelings of others
*Imaginative* 	You tend to come at things from different routes than 
most... If you are also creative these different routes may even be unique.
*Pragmatic* 	You do what needs to be done.
*Flamboyant* 	How you do what you do calls attention to itself and away 
from exactly what you are doing...
*Direct* 	You dont waste time doing things external to your goal some 
call your way simple or crude.
