scary... i need to choose my specialisation soon.. and i'm still fuzzy wif wat i want.. i'm scare of regrets... bleh..
did a self test today.. it's interesting and quite true.. ha.. the test is part of my fren's pscho module.. hee..
here's my results:
"The Loner"
Individuals with low Inclusion scores are most comfortable when they can move away from people or when people in general stay away from them. These scores do not mean that they cannot associate with others, but rather that they are highly selective with whom they association takes place. They are uncomfortable around most people and avoid them whenever possible.
"The Checker"
A male with a very low expressed Control score and a morderate or borderline wanted Control score is not dependent, but does have some doubts about his ablility to make decisions and to take on responsibility. Because he has such doubts, he needs othersto reassure him before he makes a decision. Hence, he checks with others to see what they think. He does not want to make a fool of himself and looks to others for reassurance about the correctness of his behaviour. The "Checker" seldom makes decisions completely on his own or goes against the opinion of others. If he is unable to "check" or otherwise obtain reassurance, anxiety results.
A woman with a very low expressed Control score and a morderate wanted Control score may or may not be a "Checker". As indicated above, wanted Control scores for a woman merely reflect the degree to which she is willing to tolerate Control from others rather than a measure of how much control she wants. If such is the case, the correct interpretation would be that she is a "Tolerant Rebel" rather than a "Checker". When her tolerance level is reached, she will then reveal her more basic "Rebel" orientation.
"Rebel"
When both Control scores are very low, these individuals not only avoid making decisions and taking on responsibility, but also are most comfortable when others di not attempt to control them. They do not tell other what to do, but by the same token they do not want others to tell them what to do. Their basic attitude is, " I will stay off your back, but you stay off mine."
"Warm Individual" or "Golden Mean"
Those with moderate Affection scores are capable of both giving and receiving affection without going to extremes. They neither make excessive demands on others for affection, nor tend to be overly cautious in expressing affection. They tend to be realistic and practical both in amount of affection desired, and the number of individuals from whom affection is sought. Although they want to be liked and prefer most people to be warm, they do not need or demand affection from everyone. As such, they are also better able to tolerate the presence of someone who is unaffectionate or even hostile toward them.
