Personality Test: Rank yourself according to these thirty criteria and learn that you are:
paranoid tendencies, irritable, anxious, fidgety, dependent, worrying, emotionally sensitive, prone to regret, depressed, second guesses self, somewhat fragile, dislikes change, prefers organized to unpredictable, suspicious, phobic, craves attention, not a risk taker, low self control, very sensitive to criticism, unadventurous, does not make friends easily, defensive, obsessive, low self esteem
It may be important to mention that you are urged at every turn to be as honest as possible. Don't hide anything! Don't tell the test what you wish were true, tell the test was *is* true! So I did. And I get this.
I'm not saying it's inaccurate, I'm just saying it's negative. Very, very...very...very very negative. I feel like I should cry. It's just overwhelming.
The irony is, I feel like I should cry...and it is a depressing array of things to read about oneself, but I'm not actually crying. Not even misting up. And you know me, that'll happen and the drop of a hat. Not even a hat; at the drop of a barrette, at male pattern baldness. But this isn't *real*, I know that. But it is sort of like "make a list of all the things that you never want to hear about yourself."
I think, of the list (and there's so many, how could I possibly choose?) "craves attention" bothers me the most. Followed by "low self control." Untrue? No. Things I'm embarrassed by, yes, which means they must be true, I suppose. But...absolutely no redeeming qualities? That's harsh, dude.
But would it be fair to say that most people are these things? Can I find refuge in knowing that I'm not more paranoid, irritable, worrying, regretful, depressed, fragile or suspicious than the rest of you?
No, probably not.
Stumble Button, you have done me wrong.
