    Please check each statement that you think is 100% true of you!

    • For me, empathy is never a choice- I feel other people's emotions all the time- but I'm perfectly happy with this and definitely wouldn't change it if I could.

    • I would engage in a soothing and/or light-hearted, emotionally healing activity.

    • Give myself a pat on the back and try a cheerful or exciting activity to raise my spirits!

    • Push it out of my mind, and then try to learn as much as I can about how to avoid the problem in the future.

    • Work through the problem that’s creating the stress; I don’t want a bandaid fix, I want a real resolution and I want it now!

    • I reflect on all that I’ve learned that would be helpful, valuable or relevant to the situation at hand.

    • I would probably treat myself to something special.

    • Being embarrassed publicly- flubbing my lines during in an important speech, being clumsy, spilling a beverage on my date or on a stranger, etc.

    • Being forced to remain calm and sit still when I’m outraged or feeling a sense of injustice. (in this scenario, the offensive occurrence isn’t affected by your actions one way or the other, but you are being forced to suppress very justifiable rage)

    • Spending an extended period of time only having incredibly mundane, shallow discussions and consuming trite media that’s very bad- but not quite bad enough to be funny or interesting.

    • Having a particularly nasty, uncalled for encounter with a bully that I’m completely unprepared for and is below the proverbial belt. (in this scenario you won’t get physically hurt)

    Which of these statements most accurately describes your social habits, preferences or experience?  Choose the best, most overall fitting/true answer.

    • I really like having/would like to have many friends as well as acquaintances. The more the merrier!

    • I like to/want to have as many close friends as possible. I actively desire to cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships with others.

    • I have a lot of people I consider true, even close friends, as well as a much smaller, inner circle of friends who I consider to be as close as or closer than family.

    • Often, social activities feel somewhat like appointments to me, but I’m okay with that.

    • I don’t have much of a preference when it comes to the frequency/types of social activities I engage in; every experience is valuable to me in its own way, whether I’m alone or with others.

    • I’d say that I know a huge amount of people and have tons of acquaintances, but I only have a very small, select few close friends.

    • I’m friendly to absolutely everyone, regardless of whether or not I know them. I don’t always go out of my way to get closer to people, but, due to my personality, it usually happens incidentally, sometimes, whether I want it to or not.

  • 10.

    • I am thinking about the future virtually every moment of every day.

    • I long for others around me to be consistent and reliable and often feel very anxious or flustered when they won’t or can’t be this way.

    • Other people have, at times, thought of me as overly detached, dispassionate or indifferent.

    • I really like things in my life to be just so- I can always tell when something is a bit off, whether it’s an undercooked meal, a video game file left 98% complete or a crooked picture frame; I often have a strong desire to fix things like that.

    • Many of the kinds of things that other people find deeply disturbing, or just hard to stomach such as gory images, noise, chaos or extremely alien situations barely phase me, if at all.

    • I feel hurt or frustrated when I give a lot of attention and/or affection to another person and it feels like they don’t reciprocate it.

    • I have a strong sense of personal identity.

    • I try to regularly cleanse myself psychologically in order to stay positive and productive.

(Note: disassociation is a state of being “disconnected” from oneself that occurs when mental processes that are ordinarily connected are separated from one another.)  Choose the answer that is the most, or closest to being true.

    • I don’t think I get disassociated on a regular basis, if at all.

    • It’s fairly easy for me to separate myself from any given moment. I think this was caused by a feeling of being disconnected from others in childhood that lead to a feeling of being disconnect from myself.

    • It’s easy for my sense of identity to get swept aside as I lose myself in the lives of others.

    • My disassociation, in part, was triggered automatically in response to various situations I’ve been exposed to over the years, sometimes out of curiosity.

    • I think my imagination is the main cause of my tendency toward disassociation. It can be hard for me to tell fantasy, dreams and reality apart.

    • The times I’ve felt disassociated, it was likely a direct result of emotional and/or bodily neglect.

    • I have often withdrawn deeply (perhaps unhealthily so) into fantasy or fiction to escape emotional pain.

    • In my ideal living space, you would find mainly just the bare essentials (little to no nick-knacks!) + a few select/special items that I’m really proud of, such as electronics, vehicles, kitchen gadgets or one or two special pieces of furniture.

    • Although I have a very strong love of many kinds of worldly objects I don’t feel in any way shape or form that I need them in order to have a good life.

    • Although I am capable of getting sentimental over inanimate objects, material things are relatively unimportant to me- I’ll get by no matter what!

    • I have a deep fear that people think of me as stupid, foolish or gullible.

    • I have a desire to appear perfect in the eyes of others- to be the one person who everyone trusts, everyone comes to for advice and everyone thinks of as graceful, together, flawless and well-made.

    • A lot of my views, were I to voice them, would offend many people, as they’d likely be seen as harsh.

    • It is extremely easy for me to get addicted to things.

    • Historically, I have gone out of my way not to get my hopes up. I’m always guarded, otherwise I feel things far, far more deeply than I want to.

    • Sometimes, I want so badly to be wanted that it hurts.

    • I have occasionally enjoyed it when others were jealous of me.

    • Truth be told, in some ways, I have very little fight in me and, in spite of appearances, I’m frequently on the verge of giving up.

    • Sometimes, I feel like a lost, vulnerable child wandering around in an unfamiliar world full of shadowy, intimidating figures.

    • I don’t think my friends are any more interesting or important than anyone else.

    • Expanding my mind in ALL directions.

    • Learning all the TRUTH I haven’t learned yet.
