Summary
A. About. Name: Kimberly West. Predominate Kingdom: Blaze's Castle Key Words: Inspiring, fun, intense, caring, visionary, perfectionist, goal-oriented, trailblazer.
|
B. Best At. Occupation: "Queen of Personality-Ville®" educational products designer/author/speaker. Love to bring abstract concepts to life with fun, visual symbols.
|
C. Childhood experience with personality: In 5th grade, I came home and told my mom I learned about personality today. I asked her, "What does 'aggressive' mean?" That's funny because, inside, I was quite shy around people. I did get energy from others (extrovert) but I would cross the street to avoid someone walking by me on the sidewalk. I was a shy extrovert. Still am in some ways.
|
D. Dragons I Dislike about my Personality: Perfectooth; I'm too hard on myself. Got this from my military father. |
E. Example. Who do you think shares your kingdom? Oprah Castle/Circus. She's all about accomplishing great things (Castle), while being warm & friendly (Circus), and having fun (Circus) all at the same time. Just like me. (But she has $$$ to truly make a difference :) |
F. Family. I wish my family knew about this when my quiet, analytical brother was still alive. I think we were so loud and dominant, we missed out on his witty, dry sense of humor. Sorry, Bro Bro.
|
G. Great. Most Like about My Personality: Caring, fun, and curious. People have said, "What you see, is what you get!" I like being authentic. |

Tip/Quotes:
Hi! I'm Kimberly West and I live near Blaze's Castle. I love to accomplish as much as possible and I think BIG! But, I love to have fun too! It's been really great for me to understand that different people "live" in different personality kingdoms. When I first meet people, I get a little excited and have a hard time listening. So now when I meet someone new, I visualize myself in the middle of Personality-Ville (at a slower speed) and take a deep breath. This puts people at ease and it lets me get a feel for how THEY want to be treated.
When I decided to write, it was hard for me because I get energy from being around people. I hunkered down and gave myself a "treat" of going out if I finished a certain amount of work. Also, sharing what I wrote with others on the phone or Skype was a good way to energize too.
So, just remember, If I can make it, so can you!
