Evaluation
The donor has chosen to donate because he knows family members who have been unable to conceive on their own. To him, it makes good sense to help others in this way. He has a child himself, and has grown up in foster care and knows that children who are not with their biological child can grow to be just as good a person as those who are. He believes more in nurture than nature and wants others to have the same opportunities he’s had. He has discussed this with his girlfriend, who is supportive.
The intelligence screening test indicates a person with an ability to reason logically on par with the average person. He can be expected to analyze complexity relatively well and be a somewhat fast learner. At the same time, he’s likely not going to stand out amongst a crowd.
In terms of personality, the donor is generally calm, collected and at ease with himself. He does have moments where he can have trouble controlling impulses and where his temper can show, but he never directs it at anybody. The donor can be frustrated like most, but he mostly keeps it on the inside. Others might see him as someone who doesn’t inhibit many immediate impulses, and he can act on them. The donor can handle stressful periods, but he will likely need time to recuperate and recharge like most people.
The donor has social tendencies, but he prefers the company of a small group of friends. He doesn’t seek out large social gatherings, though when he meets new people, he is likely to be kind, warm and accommodating. The donor has areas in which he will express his opinions and seek influence, but at other times he will be just fine being a part of the crowd and not standing out. It will be very context-dependent, but he has the capacity for both kinds of behavior, but not in any extreme manner.
There might be times where he enjoys many activities and keeping a full calendar, but at other times he might need to focus on one thing at a time. He can seek excitement and enjoys the thrills of life, but he is also wary to not go near some kinds of entertainment, such as drugs, too much alcohol and gambling, as he has known people who have succumbed to the negative influences those indulgences might provide. Instead, he enjoys motor-cross and activities of that nature.
The donor is imaginative, creative and daydreaming at times. He has a good connection to his own emotions and that of others, which can make him good at picking up on social cues. He can enjoy art and culture, but it’s not his main driver. The donor enjoys varying his activities and wants to experience many of the things that life has to offer. He is open-minded and enjoys entertaining the values and worldviews of others. He is only principled on a few issues and is open to changing his mind on many fronts. He can switch between being abstract, philosophical and visionary, and to being practical and concrete in his thinking, though his imagination will often grab a hold of him. The donor is very trusting, direct and honest. He has been described by his best friend (who is very skeptical) as naive and blind to the intentions of some people, but he prefers being trusting and believing in the good of others. His direct and honest approach can give him some trouble when it comes to being honest in cases where a bit of political maneuvering and strategic communication might have been more prudent. He can disagree and argue with friends if necessary, such as debating topics at the bar, and he can have disagreements without ruining the mood or a relation. The donor is very helpful and self-sacrificing, to a degree where he will take time out of his day to help complete strangers, or he will clean up something that is not his job, but the city’s.
The donor knows how to enjoy life and not take everything too seriously. He can doubt himself and his abilities, which can be a driver to perform better, but which can also keep him from challenging himself, out of a fear of failure. The donor can be disorganized and slightly chaotic and hard to plan with, but he is also flexible and good at being open to sudden changes of plan. He is dutiful in areas that matter to him, and he will only do his best when he is motivated by the task. He is a collector and trades with many things, for example, where he has a great passion. The donor is not very disciplined and will quickly lose interest if a task or goal is boring or doesn’t have any meaning to him. He can keep agreements and have some moral considerations that he takes very seriously, but he can also seem unambitious, lax and someone who doesn’t live up to his potential. To that, he says that the people that say that haven’t seen him in his right element, where he can be very driven. He is not in danger of feeling stressed or living up to unrealistic standards, and he is good at being present in the moment.
