Artisans are the
temperament with a natural ability to excel in any of the arts,
not only the fine arts such as painting and sculpting, or the
performing arts such as music, theater, and dance, but also the
athletic, military, political, mechanical, and industrial arts,
as well as the "art of the deal" in business.
Artisans are most at
home in the real world of solid objects that can be made and
manipulated, and of real-life events that can be experienced in
the here and now. Artisans have exceptionally keen senses, and
love working with their hands. They seem right at home with
tools, instruments, and vehicles of all kinds, and their actions
are usually aimed at getting them where they want to go, and as
quickly as possible. Thus Artisans will strike off boldly down
roads that others might consider risky or impossible, doing
whatever it takes, rules or no rules, to accomplish their goals.
This devil-may-care attitude also gives the Artisans a winning
way with people, and they are often irresistibly charming with
family, friends, and co-workers.
Artisans want to be
where the action is; they seek out adventure and show a constant
hunger for pleasure and stimulation. They believe that variety is
the spice of life, and that doing things that aren't fun or
exciting is a waste of time. Artisans are impulsive, adaptable,
competitive, and believe the next throw of the dice will be the
lucky one. They can also be generous to a fault, always ready to
share with their friends from the bounty of life. Above all,
Artisans need to be free to do what they wish, when they wish.
They resist being tied or bound or confined or obligated; they
would rather not wait, or save, or store, or live for tomorrow.
In the Artisan view, today must be enjoyed, for tomorrow never
comes.
Artisans make up between
15 to 20 percent of the population, which is good, because they
create much of the beauty, grace, fun, and excitement the rest of
us enjoy in life.

I don't agree
with this page saying that I'm an artisan. The people who made
this survey didn't make a lot of personality choices for the end
result.
