Now, I'm not sure how much stock I put into a test like this (being based on "subconscious cues" and whatnot), but it brought up some interesting thoughts, because the above is certainly not how I perceive myself. But is it what I want to be? Do I want to be the warrior in bed? And if this is what I want to be, why am I not? And why do I choose not to take this role?
Perhaps it's a signal from my inner control freak. Work with my psychologist has shown exactly how little I feel I control my life (although I suspect that's improving somewhat). Perhaps this "Awaken" archetype is exactly what my brain would love to be doing to my life, being transcendentally me and forcing my will without any regard for those around me, running my life as if I was the only one that mattered.
And yet, even if this is what my brain would want, it is not something that I could ever bring myself to do. I've been brought up far too well. The shackles of my upbringing push me into the postures that I assume around everyone else, and to be honest, these shackles seem appropriate. They certainly seem much more me than the control freak trying to force itself onto everything in my life.
So, which one is me? The obvious answer is "both", but I'm not so sure that's the correct answer. I mean, if we looked to what everyone else saw, they'd definitely say that the selfish control freak is not how they perceive me, and it's certainly not how I perceive me. It has no place in my aspirations for myself - at no point would I ever claim that I want to be more of a control freak. Or maybe that's not entirely true either - I would claim that I want to be more assertive, to be able to feel more in control of my life, and the difference between the two is probably more a matter of degree. Perhaps what is really required is a more useful integration of these two divergent selves.
Or, perhaps, I'm thinking about this far too much...

This seems slightly closer...
