Ora Smith
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Who the heck is Ora Smith? She’s taken many personality tests trying to figure that out.

Her “Love Language” is Acts of Service.

Her personality color is Blue, which means she’s an analyzer and organizer.

Her astrological sign is Pisces = creative, empathetic, generous.

For Myers-Briggs she’s an ESFJ - Extrovert, Sensing, Feeling, Judgment = Caregiver.

Personality tests tell Ora she’s an Extrovert, perhaps because she’s interested in people, their stories, and what makes them act the way they do—which facts she uses in her stories. Yet she often hibernates alone in her house for days like many Introverts, happily writing and creating stories. If more than a day goes by without writing, Ora becomes anxious and can think of little besides her current writing project.

The Enneagram test scores her highest (52 points) as a Helper, but the attributes of Peacemaker, Enthusiast, and Reformer all tie at 48 points. That’s not normal. Most people come out strong with one of those attributes, not all about the same. Her lowest score, 24 points, is for Challenger. Don’t ask her to compete in anything. She just won’t care! Unless you’re playing the board game Splendor with her.

If all that means nothing to you, that’s all right. The thing about personality tests for Ora is that her attributes scores are always so close to one another, it’s hard to really peg her for who she is. For instance, the Myers-Briggs has her as an Extrovert, but she scores only 1 point higher to push her out of being an Introvert.

If you try and plug her as a certain way, you’re probably right, but it might also be true she’s just as much another “certain way.”

On all the tests she scores high as an Individualist. I think this means she doesn’t care what others are doing, because she’s going to do it her own way. But as a result of her other qualities, she’ll try not to hurt anyone’s feelings along the way.

And what does The Birth Order Book say about her being the seventh born—a girl after five boys in a row—the cheerleader for the basketball team, her dad used to say. Well, this long bio just won’t keep you focused on more vaunting, so she’ll leave it to others to try and figure out the birth order thing.

The rarest of human “coloring,” Ora has red hair and blue eyes. To put the stereotype to shame, she rarely loses her temper—unless of course perforated lines don’t rip straight.

Where lies the answer to her multiple attributes (no, not multiple personalities)? She’s not sure, but feels it’s a reason to blame it all on her parents.

(By the way, if you haven’t done personality scoring with your family, she’d suggest it. It leads to understanding one another but also results in considerable laughter.)

    I was attracted to this book by the beautiful cover. As I opened it and read each page I was inspired not only by the artwork, but by the uplifting message written in a way for all ages to understand. As a collector of children’s books, I recommend “A Christmas Story of Light” to children and adults.

    Really strange theology. I generally just redirect any books we read together, but this was so off I returned it. Talks about us all living with God before we were born and the “light in all of us”. Pretty new age/Hindu. If you’re looking for a solid Christian book on the nativity, look elsewhere.
