BTW.. It says I'm slightly neurotic and fairly enlightened.

Also, I found that a neurotic person is someone who is overanxious to put it simply. And I don't consider myself to be that way, but whatever :-)

Your score is 34.

Never mind that I'd just loaned out nearly all my profits to someone and I may never see it again (not that I regret it, mind you, as she's a very good friend, but I had very important plans with that money, and if I don't get it back, it will be a crushing disappointment). For that matter, there's also the effects of the economy, people freaking out over swine flue, etc, etc, etc.

It was just a moment of worry. IMO, it's those who DON'T have a moment of worry who probably have something wrong with them. At least if they accept the consumerist values of society (and thinking that I should be happy because of my cash windfall suggests she does).

Ah well, I tried taking the test, but gave up. I had to answer too many with "other." Some I couldn't answer at all. Example:

When I feel anxious, I
eat
sleep
smoke
escape
I never get anxious

ACTUAL ANSWER: I either make a plan and do something to lessen the anxiety (when I can) and/or I instead get with close friends.

I am happiest when
everything is going smoothly
I am partying
I am being creative
life is chaotic
I am alone

ACTUAL ANSWER: When I'm so involved in an activity (like surfing, target shooting, etc) that all the world fades around me and I fully become one with the moment. It's very much like meditation, only I'm gonna to want a shower after.

Also, what do they mean by "moral"? If they mean treat others fairly, then very, at least compared to many others. If they mean some kind of "sexual standards," then perhaps pretty low because I'm uninhibited and have casual sex (not often, and I think my sex drive is lower than average, but I'm a long ways from being a puritan). In this case I'd probably answer "my own moral code" (which is just another way of saying "other"). The term isn't defined or even given any context, so I can't answer it.

And that's just one example. "Crazy stuff" is another--what is that, like my loaning out my profits to a friend, living an unconventional life, committing some outrageous (even dangerous) pranks as I've done, or something else entirely? And do I tend to agree with people? Not really, but I do tend to nod a lot and pretend to if it's not that important (and sometimes when it's important for my biz, like when I pretended to agree with some racist comments just so the guy would buy my stuff).
