at first I took this and got a totally wrong answer. Then i tilted my monitor back and realized at the angle I just wasn't seeing some shapes, and they were there right shapes for me.

Here is my results, which are pretty accurate:

Quote:
You need to help others and to be thought of as a generous and kind individual. Often you are taken advantage of and regarded as simply part of the scenery. You work best when handling the work yourself; you do not appreciate a managerial role and tend to be uncomfortable in that position. Friendship is important to you, but it is generated on a personal basis, rarely a professional one. Consequently, family life is very important to you, and is often the most important aspect. Because of a strong sense of propriety however, you will sometimes consider the eccentric behavior of your friends and family as a personal affront. Often you find it difficult to speak up about personal anguish or pain, feeling instead that it is something an individual should bear in silence. Tradition is important to you, and you feel a sense of belonging when operating within the constraints of a predictable routine.

Do you just pick which image is more pleasurable to you? I don't get the questions. Is it another language?

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.


Pretty accurate.

OK I figured out that these were partial English sentences but couldn't figure out enough words to make it sensible. So I just picked the option that seemed more pleasant to me. The diagnosis, which I couldn't copy and paste for some reason, said I was like a customs agent or IRS auditor, which I don't agree with. I am a complete p**** who wishes no grief for anyone. I am however resistant to change.

Quote:
Your power comes from an ability to sense how things might be and to proclaim this possibility with a great force and willingness to act. You have a tendency to be romantic, and can be an idealist. This sense of how the world can be is often expressed with self-deprecatory humor. Because of your need to address the immediacy of the moment, you may not think things through to their logical end, relying instead on a feeling for how a situation SHOULD end. You need to be liked and appreciated by others, although your attention often wanders. Sometimes you neglect old friends in favor of a new or exciting acquaintance. You have a real difficulty being alone. Often you will seem to know how to handle a situation without exactly knowing HOW you know this. Your thoughts are often shallow. While in the excitement of the moment you can obsess about a task at hand. If it should become rote and unexciting, however, it can be dropped just as quickly.

Apart from sentence one, yup...

OK, this is a direct question hopefully not to be passed over and ignored. Is everyone having no trouble deciphering the questions in the test? I'm feeling dumb.

I totally did not get it. :lol:

I didn't read the instructions very well. I just decided I wasn't supposed to interpret the questions, and just let my feelings about the questions in relation to the objects dictate my answers. If that makes sense.

I got this:

Quote:
You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.


which is bizarrely spot on!

Just read the text and answer Aimless. ( as you did) :)

Myself I took it twice over two days and came up with the same results:
Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.

Everything but hang gliding and motorcycle riding or even "often" engaged in sports. :lol:
I'm monogamous.
Edit: O.K. I see Moog interceded.

So you go by gut feeling of what the question is and gut feeling between the choices of A or B?

Yep. Since there wasn't further clarification I'd assume yes.

I came up with something else I couldn't relate to the second time I took the test and still can't copy/paste. It's difficult for me not to try and decipher the questions even though the instructions say not to try. How can you gauge a reptilian brain response through language anyway? Oh well, I'm having more fun filling in missing letters.

This one does describe me. I tried to answer more instinctively this last time.

You work best when handling the work yourself; you do not appreciate a managerial role and tend to be uncomfortable in that position.
