I dithered between male and 'neither male or female' for a little bit. Ended up deciding on male because, although I identify as genderqueer, I am still male biologically (and happy to be so). :o)
I went for 8 for physical appearance. There are a few things that I'd like to change but, for the most part, I rather like the way I look. It's been a long, long time since I've worried about 'looking unattractive' because I generally think that I look at least 'good' (with or without make-up). I'll occasionally get a really annoying blemish on my skin but it doesn't tend to last more than a week or two and most of the time my skin is pretty good.
I went for 8 on intelligence. There's a lot of aptitudes I don't have and definitely a lot that I don't know but would like to, however, for the most part I'm pretty confident on my ability to reason through things and I learn reasonably quickly. Not much to complain about really.
I went for a 6 on social confidence. Although I don't feel like a ball of nerves socially, I often/usually feel socially awkward. It's not usually the case that I'm under-confident in the sense that I feel stupid/awkward saying things that I want to say, just that I have trouble finding things to talk about in order to maintain conversation (and feeling like I ought to be saying something when I'm not does make me feel very awkward)
It's interesting that the question changes form from 'how happy are you with' and 'how confident are you'. My number would probably be about the same but they are subtly different questions. I think I've become a lot more comfortable and 'happier' about my level of social awkwardness over time :o)
Went for 9 with regards to my personality. I could definitely be more giving, more patient and more all sorts of things but I would not want to make any drastic changes to my character and personality; the most I'd like is to clean of the rough edges and enhance my better qualities. I very much like being me and would not want to be anyone else.
