Knowing Myself

The other day, i took one psychological temperament test recommended by a counsellor... after a gruelling 20 minutes, i finally got my test results ! I'm 85% melancholic and 15% Choleric ( not bad eh ? )

85% Melancholic traits


Below are the descriptions of me ( a melancholic choleric ),

The melancholic-choleric is also a leader with the potential to accomplish great works. However, where the choleric-melancholic is driven by the challenge and the opportunity, the melancholic-choleric is inspired more by the nobility of the task. The introverted nature of the melancholic, combined with the focused and unempathic nature of the choleric, can result in an individual who is highly motivated by noble ideals (even humanitarian ones), but who prefers to work alone, rather than with people. The melancholic side of both temperament mixtures results in the project being organized, ethical, and high-minded, while the choleric aspect is the driving and demanding force.

Organized, ethical and high minded leaders

If you are melancholic-choleric, you are somewhat less pragmatic (or utilitarian) than a pure choleric, just as persevering and determined, and with a greater emphasis on the ideal. Likely to be motivated by the most noble and demanding of causes, you are capable of founding a humanitarian society, composing a symphony, founding a school, or discovering a cure. You are organized, perfectionist, introspective, driven, and moody (though less so than a pure melancholic). You will be less active than a choleric-melancholic and less extraverted, more internally focused.

Discovering a cure for AIDS perhaps ? I'd like that =)

But your weaknesses include a tendency to excessive self-criticism and criticism of others, being dismissive or overly judgmental, exhibiting a tendency to self-absorption, and possessing an untrustful and controlling nature. You tend to be inflexible, can bear grudges for a long time and may be prone to discouragement. A melancholic-choleric who is not attentive to his spiritual life, and does not keep his eye assiduously on the truly important things of life can become a cross to those around him, through his nit-picking, perfectionism, disdain, bitterness, resentfulness, spitefulness when crossed, and even haughtiness. You may not have the tendency to exhibit your emotion openly and tend to hide your inner feelings to yourself, appearing emotionless in front of others.

They may appear snoobish and haughty

Well well well... what i can say.. the above description is somewhat a very accurate description of me. What about yours ?

that's sound so right until i can't say for sure whether it is a true result from the test or your self-analysis :p

Don't be so emo la. You know what, for those who really know me well should realize that "if i ever say who is emo, then he or she is REAL emo."

no offence, but sometimes that stupid hwa is just not the serious type, and you should be grateful as he bothers to prank you :p that's how he treat friends, and you should open your heart to a multitude of diversity. the world is a melange of different people, you must be flexible enough to fit in, or you will just get urself kicked out or flushed into the toilet bowl :)

However, fit in doesn't mean not to be yourself, I admire your assiduous attitude in studying A-level, as well as your . Just remember: do help change the world with your passion. We need people like you.

(If 2 years ago, I will just suggest you to pinch his ball, kick his ass and get that bitch out of our world. ) :p
