Wow, I took the test and some of the results were off for me, but others where eerily accurate.

Thaumaturge · 09-11-2004, 06:42 AM

Your Existing Situation
Physical illness, over-tension, or emotional distress have taken a severe toll. His self-esteem has been reduced and now needs peaceful conditions and considerate treatment to permit recovery.

Well, that's news to me!

Your Stress Sources
Delights in the tasteful, the gracious, and the sensitive, but maintains his attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off his feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore keeps a strict and watchful control on his emotional relationships as he must know exactly where he stands. Demands complete sincerity as a protection against his own tendency to be too trusting.

That's actually about right.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Believes that he is not receiving his share--that he is neither properly understood or adequately appreciated. Feels that he is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave him without any sense of emotional involvement.

Hmm... not really.

Wants to broaden his fields of activity and insists that his hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that he may be prevented from doing what he wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore his confidence.

That's generally pretty true of me.

Your Desired Objective
Unwilling to participate and wishes to avoid all forms of stimulation. Has had to put up with too much of a tiring or exhausting nature and now desires protection and noninvolvement

I don't know where it got this from.

Your Actual Problem
Needs to protect himself against his tendency to be too trusting, as he finds it is liable to be misunderstood or exploited by others.

Actually, I've found that people are generally quite deserving of trust.

As a result, he adopts a critical and stand-offish attitude, being willing to participate only where he can be assured of sincerity and trustworthiness.

The last half is pretty true, but I'm not sure of the first half.

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Authoritative or in a position of authority, but liable to feel that further progress is rendered problematical by existing difficulties. Perseveres despite opposition.

Completely true.

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Pretty much true. Creepy actually...The last sentence is maby a bit off...

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Clings to his belief that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to his choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.

Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for him to form a stable emotional attachment.

True true, though again there are a few parts not completely right.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Needs to feel identified with someone or something and wishes to win support by his charm and amiability. Sentimental and yearns for a romantic tenderness.

True.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics he admires and to display originality in his own personality.

Pretty much true, but a bit less than the previous things...

This is so creepy...

Zweihander · 09-12-2004, 05:53 PM

Took the quiz without realizing there was a thread here on it. Already posted to my LiveJournal . Its all eerily accurate.

Wee! I get TWO problems to deal with.

CelesJessa · 09-12-2004, 06:07 PM

Here are my results:

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Trying to improve her position and prestige. Dissatisfied with her existing circumstances and considers some improvement essential to her self-esteem.

Not too sure about this one. But I guess it's sort of true.

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
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.

I think this one reflects me very well. ^^

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
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 him.

That would be me when I get overly stressed. ^^;

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.

Sure. Why not?

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
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.

Oh yes. I would say "sincerity" or "kindness" rather than "charm". Charm sounds, kind of... weird.

Gunner11B · 09-12-2004, 06:26 PM

I have 1 quetion about it though. How is it so dang accurate from just deciding colors. It some how described me perfectly, FROM COLORS, and i took it again and got just about everything the same.

Quote:

Attracted by anything new, modern, or intriguing. Liable to the bored by the humdrum, the ordinary, or the traditional.

Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which he imposes of himself or by his own choice and decision.

Feels cut off and unhappy because of the difficulty in achieving the essential degree of cooperation and harmony which he desires.

Wants to make a favorable impression and be regarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether on the watch to see whether he is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to him; this makes him feel he is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

Strongly resists outside influence and any interference with his freedom to make his own decisions and plans. Works to establish and strengthen his own position

MasterOfMagic · 09-12-2004, 06:28 PM

Ok. Mine makes me sound like some attention whore. But I swear, I'm not!!

Quote:

Your Existing Situation
Needs warm companionship, but is intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to him. If this is not forthcoming, is liable to shut himself away from them.

See what I mean? I don't know about this part. I have yet to shut myself away from someone simply b/c they don't give me special consideration. In fact, I think I be freaked out by them if they did.

Quote:

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own,

Maybe why I joined this forum?

Sure. I'll go with it.

Quote:

Your Restrained Characteristics
The situation is preventing him from establishing himself, but he feels he must make the best of things as they are.
Clings to his belief that his hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to his choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.

My ideas are realistic! As for the rest, sure.

Quote:

Willing to become emotionally involved as he feels rater isolated and alone. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, though he tries to avoid open conflict.

I avoid conflict, but I don't easily take offense, at least not in my opinion.

Quote:

Your Desired Objective
Intense, vital, and animated, taking a delight in action. Activity is directed towards success or conquest and there is a desire to live life to the fullest.

I will conquer you all!! This one is kinda ironic, b/c I'm a very lazy person. I do enjoy doing things when I'm not though, so its right there.

Quote:

Your Actual Problem
Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for his personal accomplishments.

The attention whore thing again.

Overall, Its telling you guys to pay more attention to me! (just joking.)

Don't think I'm making fun of the test. I'm not. If anything its too close to the mark, and I'm coping with embarrasing myself, by posting this, by making fun of myself. That, and I just like to make fun of things.

Little Unicorn Boy · 09-12-2004, 06:34 PM

Your Existing Situation
Conflict and dissatisfaction of one sort or another enforce the need for the compensations indicated by the + group.

whoahoa. spot on.

Your Stress Sources
Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standings and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads him to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.

holy shit. exactly.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow himself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense, leaving him rather isolated in his attachments.

Feels that he is receiving less than his share and that there is no one on whom he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make him quick to take offense, but he realizes that he has to make the best of things as they are.

that gets more and more creepily true toward the end.

Your Desired Objective
Has a powerful drive towards sensuousness.

I don't know what that means.

Your Actual Problem
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and he is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship or adequate appreciation. He attempts to escape from this into a stable and secure environment in which he can relax and feel more contented.

I guess.

that was erie.

I don't know, I'd say that you have some charm

Stover · 09-13-2004, 09:53 AM

Why not:
Sensitive and understanding but under some strain; needs to unwind in the company of someone close to him.

Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that he has a right to anything he might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against him. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Sees himself as a 'victim' who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince himself that his failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others.

Becomes distressed when his needs or desires are misunderstood and feels that he has no one to turn to or rely on. Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense.
Conditions are such that he will not let himself become intimately involved without making mental reservations.

Feels too much is being asked of him and is tired out, but still wants to overcome his difficulties and establish himself despite the effect such an effort would house on him. Proud, but redesigned in his attitude. Needs recognition, security, and fewer problems.

Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety. Desires recognition and position, but is worried about his prospects. Reacts to this by protecting at any criticism and resisting any attempt to influence him. Tries to assert himself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen his position.

Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. This sense of powerlessness, combined with frustration that he cannot control events, subjects him to agitation, irritation, and acute distress. He tries to escape these by stubborn insistence on his own point of view, but the general condition of helplessness renders this often unsuccessful. Is therefore very sensitive to criticism and quick to take offense.

"Tries to assert himself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen his position." and "Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration." are the only real thing that stuck me in this quiz, because they are both surprisingly true.
