Whilst updating details on my graphic-design page, I had the urge to know if geometric shapes can determine personality traits. With the world-wide-web being so full, I figured somebody would have written about it.
So I googled “personality traits based on shapes” – and up popped Learning Mind. I found exactly what I was looking for, and surprisingly interesting information:
Circle
The Circle is a symbol of harmony. Those who choose this shape are interested in good interpersonal relations. The highest value for the circle is people and their well being. This is the most benevolent of the five figures. The Circle is the glue that holds the team or the family together. They stabilize the group and have a high capacity for sympathy and empathy.
Circles feel the pain and joy of others as their own. They are right-brain thinkers, not logical but creative and more emotionally charged. The processing of information in such people is not consistent and resembles a mosaic pattern. The main feature of their style of thinking is a focus on the subjective aspects of the problem.
Zigzag
The Zigzag is a symbol of creativity. The Zigzag focuses on imagery. The right-brain thinking zigzag is not fixated on the details, which simplifies the way he views the world, this allows him to construct a holistic and harmonious conceptual view of the world, to see its intrinsic beauty.
The Zigzag cannot work in one place for a long time – this is after all, boring and there are so many other interesting things to see and experience! The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods, and not their actual realization. The Zigzag looks to the future and is more interested in possibilities than in reality.
I see me in there, more than I first imagined. Whilst many of these concepts should be taken with a grain of salt, it is always interesting to find yourself in the shapes around us. Or have I let my mind be shaped?
Which geometric shapes do you like? Do these interpretations represent your mind?
