Gah, agreeing with dollface. This is rather depressing. Dx I wish they'd have something more positive in it, too. Or some solutions/suggestions, perhaps.

Your Existing Situation
Having difficulty making progress and unwilling to put forth further effort. Seeking more comfortable conditions where she can avoid anything disturbing.

Hm, not sure about this one. Doesn't really feel like it applies to me.

Your Stress Sources
Unfulfilled expectations have led to uncertainly and an apprehensive watchfulness. Badly needs to feel secure and protected against further disappointment, being passed over, or losing standing and prestige. Doubtful that things will be any better in the future, but inclined nevertheless to make exaggerated demands or reject compromise.

That's more or less true, I suppose.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for her to form a stable emotional attachment.

Believes that she is not receiving her share--that she is neither properly understood or adequately appreciated. Feels that she is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave her without any sense of emotional involvement.

Unhappy at the resistance she feels whenever she tries to assert herself. However, she believes that there is little she can do and that she must make the best of the situation.

Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

This is depressingly accurate. Ouch. I still haven't been able to get emotionally involved with anyone. Well, on a more positive note, I already knew this about myself so at least it didn't come to me as a depressing Eureka moment.

Your Desired Objective
Wishes to find her stimulation in a voluptuous atmosphere of sensuous luxury.

Ha, I do?

Your Actual Problem
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

Does not dealing with problems count as escaping? I just don't have the time and energy for my personal problems. And the second part of the first sentence is sadly true, too. This is probably the biggest issue I have to deal with and I have no idea what to do.

Your Actual Problem #2
Has a fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants. This leads her to employ great personal charm in her dealings with others, hoping that this will make it easier for her to reach her objectives.

No, it seems more like there are no positive outcomes to this quiz.

Your Existing Situation

Your Stress Sources

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

Circumstances are restrictive and hampering, forcing him to forgo all joys and pleasures for the time being.

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.

Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Your Desired Objective
Desires a conflict-free haven offering security and physical case. Is in need of considerate treatment and loving care. Fears the emptiness and solitude of separation.

Your Actual Problem
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of his hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. He is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting him from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

Your Actual Problem #2
Needs to achieve a stable and peaceful condition, enabling him to free himself of the worry that he may be prevented from achieving all the things he wants.

Whaaaaaaaaat? How did it do that? Usually quizes fit me because they're so vague and can mean anything, but the results of this are surprisingly concrete. Well, to a point.

I love colors.

Your Existing Situation
Readily participates in things that provide excitement or stimulation. Wants to feel exhilarated.

true? maybe? I really could need some "exhilarated feelings" (wtf means that word exactly? XD)


Your Stress Sources
Feels that life must yield more than it is and that her hopes and desires must somehow be realized--that they must be granted in their entirety. The existing uncertainty causes considerable worry and she is tensely on her guard against missing any opportunity. Anxious to avoid further setbacks, and loss of standing or prestige. Tries to make sure that she will not be overlooked and badly needs security.

...amen to that

Your Restrained Characteristics
Believes that she is not receiving her share--that she is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. Feels that she is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave her without any sense of emotional involvement.

*nods wordlessely*... too much truth in the morning...


Your Desired Objective
Sets herself idealistic but illusory goals. Has been bitterly disappointed and turns her back on life in a weary self-disgust. Wants to forget it all and recover in a comfortable, problem-free situation.

... yep. true.

Your Actual Problem
The fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants increases her need for security and freedom from conflict. Is therefore seeking stability and an environment in which she can relax.

.___. do i have to answer that?

Your Actual Problem #2
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship or adequate appreciation. She attempts to escape from this into a stable and secure environment in which she can relax and feel more contented.

tried but never worked. In my family, of course.


....

that's too much truth in the morning uu; *hides in corner*

Your Existing Situation
Needs warm companionship, but is intolerant of anything short of special consideration from those close to her. If this is not forthcoming, is liable to shut herself away from them.
I am liable to shut myself away from people for periods of time, but I believe I demand no more than the standard consideration, and I don't do it out of some sense of spite...

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as she has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to her self-sufficiency because of the restraint she normally imposes on herself. Since she wants to demonstrate the unique quality of her own character, she tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal her fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticize her behavior with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference she really longs for the approval and esteem of others.
My existing situation is disagreeable...at work.  There are bits of this that seem right, like, "upsetting to her self-sufficiency because of the restraint she normally imposes on herself" and "wants to demonstrate the unique quality of her own character..."  However, I don't "need" the approval of other people, I "want" it.  And obviously it can hurt if I don't get it, but my foundation of unconcern isn't an affectation.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels she is receiving less than her share, but that she will have to conform and make the best of her situation.
Sometimes and I hate everything about that attitude

Circumstances are restrictive and hampering, forcing her to forgo all joys and pleasures for the time being.
Nope

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.
No thank you on the tender bonds.  Sympathetic bonds, sure.  I'm not sure I know what idealized harmony means.  Yes, susceptible.

Your Actual Problem
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.
Yes, no, and sort of.  Don't need "fresh" goals, worried about pointlessness of same goals.  Have close and understanding relationships.  "Substitute" world?  Not exactly, but I do tend to think it's brave to live and make decisions as if the world is the place you want it to be, rather than the place it may be.  This presupposes that the world is actually shittier than you want it to be and lacks sympathy for certain ideals you would like to integrate into your everyday existence.  Related to Utena.

Your Actual Problem #2
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.
Oh, yes.  On Facebook I am a member of the group, "I am sexually attracted to talent."  I hope I do less emulating than implied.

Your Existing Situation
Acts calmly, with the minimum of upset, in order to handle existing relationships. Likes to feel relaxed and at ease with her associates and those close to him.

Your Stress Sources
Feels unappreciated and finds the existing situation disagreeable. Wants personal recognition and the esteem of others to compensate for the lack of like-minded people with whom to ally herself and make herself more secure. Her sensual self-restraint makes it difficult for her to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and merge with another. This disturbs her as she regards such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome; only by not succumbing to them, she feels, can she withstand the difficulties of the situation. Wants to be valued as a desirable associate and admired for her personal qualities.


Your Restrained Characteristics
Unhappy at the resistance she feels whenever she tries to assert herself. However, she believes that there is little she can do and that she must make the best of the situation.

Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.

Your Desired Objective
Longs for sensitive and sympathetic understanding and wants to protect herself against argument, conflict, or any exhausting stresses.

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

At first I was like, ooh a color test...got my results back...none too happy. But eh....I felt like yelling "Whatever colorquiz you don't know me!" but there are some good points it made.

Current situation:
Under considerable stress due to the demands of the existing situation. Trying to extricate herself from the things which restrict her or tie her down.


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

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels she is receiving less than her share, but that she will have to conform and make the best of her situation.
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.

Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.

Your Desired Objective
Hopes that ties of affection and good-fellowship will bring release and contentment. Her own need for approval makes her ready to be of help to others and in exchange she wants warmth and understanding. Open to new ideas and possibilities which she hopes will prove fruitful and interesting.

Your Actual Problem
Feels insufficiently valued in her existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which she will have greater opportunity of demonstrating her worth.

Your Existing Situation
"Is strong willed and unwilling to take advice from others; however, finds herself currently in a dangerous situation which finding a solution should be top priority."

Your Stress Sources
"Needs to meet people who have the same high principals and values as himself, but finds the need unfulfilled. her need to feel dominate and superior leaves her feeling isolated and does not allow for her to give freely of himself. she would like to surrender and let go, but sees that as a weakness she must not give in to. Holding back will allow her to stand out for the crowd and earn a higher status, recognized by others as unique and important."

Your Restrained Characteristics

Feels unhappy and isolated because she is unable to succeed in finding the cooperation and understanding she desires.

"Although she is able to find contentment through sexual activity, she feels hopeless to change her problems and difficulties and continues to make the best of what she has."

"Believes her hopes and dreams are realistic and sticks to them stubbornly, even though circumstances are forcing her to compromise. Very precise in the qualities she seeks in a partner.

Your Desired Objective
Seeks to be known for something she has accomplished and uses her social abilities to win people over. Emotional and sensitive and romantic

Your Actual Problem
"Impressed by unique and one of a kind things, and by people with exceptional personalities. Tries to takes the characteristics she likes in other people and apply it to herself as well as coming across as a unique individual."

I love it when tests are accurate. This was pretty dead on however, I took it earlier and my results were different. I found those more accurate, but these are close too.

Your Existing Situation
Organized and detail-oriented, she has a very precise and methodical manner. she needs relationships which offer her understanding, respect, and approval.

I'm a cataloger, of course I have a precise and methodical manner.  I definitely tend to crave approval as well.  So far, so good.

Your Stress Source
Needs to meet people who have the same high principals and values as himself, but finds the need unfulfilled. her need to feel dominate and superior leaves her feeling isolated and does not allow for her to give freely of himself. she would like to surrender and let go, but sees that as a weakness she must not give in to. Holding back will allow her to stand out for the crowd and earn a higher status, recognized by others as unique and important.

I don't want to admit to how accurate some aspects of that statement are.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Giving more than she is getting back and feels misunderstood and unappreciated. Feels she is being forced into compromising and even her close relationships leave her feeling emotional distant.

Seeking to broaden her horizons and believes her hopes and dreams are realistic. Worries she may not be able to do the things she wants and needs to escape to a peaceful, quiet environment in order to restore her confidence.

Feels as if too many walls and obstacles are standing in her way and that she is being forced to make compromises. she needs to put her own needs on hold for the time being.

I'm really not so sure about this part. Maybe in the past, but I'm moving away from a lot of those feelings anymore.

Your Desired Objective
Seeks to be known for something she has accomplished and uses her social abilities to win people over. Emotional and sensitive and romantic.

Very true, although I can't use social abilities to win people over, and don't really strive to.  I focus on accomplishments and getting recognition for them.  Definitely emotional, sensitive, and a (hopeless) romantic.

Your Actual Problem
Impressed by unique and one of a kind things, and by people with exceptional personalities. Tries to takes the characteristics she likes in other people and apply it to herself as well as coming across as a unique individual.

The first part is incredibly accurate, for both deep reasons and shallow reasons (I wanna pull off the same outfits dollface can pull off!), but I don't try to do those things.  I know what I can and cannot do, and while I long for them, I don't actually attempt to do them because deep down it's not me.

Having just taken this test, yet it turned out not so accurate for me after all. Is it the test's insight? Or my personality matters?

Your Existing Situation
"Outgoing but unpredictable and unstable. Likes things to go her way, otherwise she becomes agitated, indecisive, and fake in her activities."

I don't totally agree. I think my situation is stable enough.

Your Stress Sources
"Feels empty and isolated from others and wishes to overcome this feeling. Believes life has more to offer her than what she was experienced thus far, and doesn't want to miss out on anything. she purses all her goals and dreams, fearful that any missed opportunity will cause her to miss out on even more. Quickly becomes an expert in any field she pursues and can sometimes come off as overbearing and nosy."

First sentence, yes. Second sentence, no. I believe how much I can have for my life has been determined before my birth, so I never feel I've missed anything. Thus, I never persue anything really hard and am an expert in nothing.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Current events leave her feeling forced into compromise in order to avoid being cut off from affection or future cooperation.

Emotionally demanding and will involve herself in close relationships but won't get too involved or give too much of himself.

"Although she is able to find contentment through sexual activity, she feels hopeless to change her problems and difficulties and continues to make the best of what she has."

Conceited and is easily insulted. Holds back emotionally but is able to find satisfaction through sexual activity.

Why yes, I always know that sex can't change a thing. I like sex to a certain extent, but I always prefer spiritual communication.

Your Desired Objective
"Has a strong desire to contribute and influence others, but it can make her restless. she is driven by her desires and hopes. Enjoys a wide range of activities, but she may spread herself to thin taking on too much."

Sorry I don't take much things seriously. I have interest in nearly nothing. I do want to influence others, but only through my writing and nothing else.

Your Actual Problem
"Fears she will be held back from achieving things she really wants, leading her to search endlessly for satisfaction and become involved in activities which are pointless."

Your Actual Problem #2
"Feeling held back and restricted from moving forward, looking for a solution that will give her more freedom and less obstacles."

At last, I can find a part that I can fully agree with.
