how do you measure, measure a year?
I was going through my LJ, trying to decide if it's safe for me to add a RL person from my TV class to my flist, and I was reading this meme I did just over a year ago now, March 26 2007. And I am freaking out in the entry about how "accurate" the meme was, but I am reading it now thinking "what the hell, no it's not." SO I decided to retake the same psychological quiz to see how much I've changed in a year.
Lissie's Existing Situation - SAME
Imaginative and sensitive; seeking an outlet for these qualities--especially in the company of someone equally sensitive. Interest and enthusiasm are readily aroused by the unusual or the adventurous.
Lissie's Stress Source - NEW!
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.
(OLD: Wants to overcome a feeling of emptiness & to bridge the gap which she feels separates herself from others. Anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to explore all of its possibilities, and to live it to the fullest. She therefore resents any restriction or limitation being imposed on her and insists on being free and unhampered. She cannot leave things alone and feels she can only be at peace when she has finally reached her goal.)
Lissie's Restrained Characteristics - SAME & NEW
Has high emotional demands and is willing to involve herself in a close relationship, but not with any great depth of feeling.
SAME: Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
(OLD: Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied her.)
Lissie's Desired Objective - NEW!
Seeks success. Wants to overcome obstacles and opposition and to make her own decisions. Pursues her objectives single-mindedly and with initiative. Does not want to feel dependent on the good will of others.
(OLD: Needs to feel identified with someone or something and wishes to win support by her charm and amiability. Sentimental and yearns for a romantic tenderness. Needs a peaceful environment. Wants release from stress, and freedom from conflicts or disagreement. Takes pains to control the situation and its problems by proceeding cautiously. Has sensitivity of feeling and a fine eye for detail.)
Lissie's Actual Problem - NEW!
Strongly resists outside influence and any interference with her freedom to make her own decisions and plans. Works to establish and strengthen her own position
(OLD: Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.)
So yes. I definitely feel more comfortable with how it sits now. Parts of the old results are still accurate but so are some of these new ones. Whatever. LOL why do we even try to define ourselves anyway? I don't even know. So anyway. I am going through my LJ making sure I'm okay with everything for this kid to see. He gave me his and I want to comment on his entries but he disabled anonymous comments, so if I comment, he'll know mine and that kind of freaks me out because having RL people on here freaks me out. So I was like "fuck you for disabling anonymous comments" and he was like "well it serves you right for being all afraid to let me read your lj." Touche.
