Tee hee, I took this from silver_tiamat :

Your Existing Situation

"Is sensitive and easily influenced by other's thoughts and emotions. Looking for friendly, easy-going relationships and jobs that help develop them."

Your Stress Sources

"Feels unappreciated and in an unpleasant position. Needs personal recognition and the respect of others, since she has not been able to find partners who value the same things she does. She holds back her emotions and is unable to give fully of herself, but lasting isolation makes her want to change those ways and surrender to her deep urges. Giving in to her natural instincts and urges is a sign of weakness, so feeling this way makes her weak and irritable. Fighting these urges makes her feel stronger, as if she can take on anything that comes her way. Longs to be valued as an important associate and admired for her personal qualities."

Your Restrained Characteristics

Current events leave her feeling forced into compromise in order to avoid being cut off from affection or future cooperation.
"Feels trapped in a helpless situation and is desperately seeking relief. She is able to find pleasure and happiness in sexual activity, as long as there is not a lot of conflict or emotional difficulty."
Current events leave her feeling forced into compromise in order to avoid being cut off from affection or future cooperation.

Your Desired Objective

"Wants to make a good impression on others and be seen as a special individual, like no one else. she is constantly observing how others react to her and to make sure this is true. She knows how to effectively gain special recognition, by planning and scheming. She is drawn to things which are beautiful and unique."

Your Actual Problem

"Needs to be viewed and respected as an outstanding individual, in order to build her self-esteem and self-worth. Resists any type of weakness and sets high standards for herself."

Your Actual Problem #2

"All energy has been used and she has none left to engage in anymore anxiety or demands. Feeling powerless to change the situation, leaving her frustrated, agitated, irritated, and annoyed with herself. Tries to escape by acting stubbornly sticking to her opinions, but her helplessness leads to some insecurities. Is very sensitive to criticism and easily offended."

On the whole, I actually think it's quite accurate - almost to the point of 90-95%. I know this could be falling victim to horoscope syndrome - that is, talking generalities that are likely to apply to everyone, because they'll mold it to fit their personal schemas. However, I found it quite interesting how it talks about how I want to be considered special, and that I need others to fortify my worth and esteem. Because... I AM like that. I'm needy and insecure. I DO watch others closely and how they react to me, which isn't true of a lot of people I know. A lot of people are not cognizant.

I have been feeling stuck and isolated lately. Even tonight: Lindsey texted (mass text) saying there's going to be bowling and drinking and laser tag on Thursday. Just like the last 39586 fun nights, it's on a weekday, and at NIGHT, so I can't go. I asked her how come nothing's ever on a weekend or Friday anymore, and she said, "Well Holly works on the weekends and so do I." So to me, that means as a lesser tier person I have to suck it up or not go. And I CAN'T go. Because I work.

I am sensitive, I am irritable. I would use these two to describe me, in full earnest. I don't like high-maintenance relationships. I AM having job issues, and compromising my life. I do have an uncontrollable need to please people and I want recognition (though this is definitely not a major issue for me at the moment). I do get stubborn when I'm hurt.

The only thing that really does not fit AT ALL is the part about not being able to find a person with the same values as me. Wayyyy off.

All in all, very interesting!

I get the same way, knowing more about psychology than when I was, say, 13. I get very skeptical...but. I don't know. I get such varied results when I check back in at different times of my life, and each and every time it's been far more accurate than inaccurate. And while I do allow for some interepretative reading (like, when it says "she has not been able to find partners with the same values" I would take it to mean that because of past history with friends and boyfriends who had obviously different values than those you wanted to hold, you're more sensitive to that than others; I don't think that it means that you've NEVER been able to find others with similar values, just that it's been an important issue in your past), I always try to think, "Okay, how much does this only apply to me, rather than everyone?" But, that's also considering that a lot of people have the same issues and worries, and that while I may feel mine are important because they're MY problems/issues, it doesn't mean that they're unique.

But, still...it is pretty interesting. Especially given that it's just picking colors. O_O I mean, there's no leading questions there at all--no, "Do you feel oppressed/dissatisfied with work" and popping out a "You're not happy with your work" answer. ~(''~)

I agree, it was really cool, to be honest. I feel like I've done it before, but have nooo idea what the results were. It was fun :D
