Your Strongest Belief: HonestyYour strongest belief is honesty. 48% of test takers also hold honesty as an important value in life.Because of your uncompromisingly honest nature, you generally feel most fulfilled when you can fully share your thoughts and feelings, good or bad. People likely come to you when they need a forthright opinion because they know you are brave enough to tell your version of the truth, and you enjoy being around people who are forthcoming with their thoughts and opinions as well. Those around you have come to expect that you will generally "tell it like it is." You may feel that any untruth, even a little white lie, will lead to more harm than good. Your emotional intolerance for dishonesty — in yourself and others — makes you a highly trustworthy person
Emotional Landscape:Happiness:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience happiness at a low intensity. When something really good happens in your life, you radiate a serene glow. Your happiness is peaceful, as opposed to elated. While others may be more inclined to express their happiness outwardly, you're more likely to turn inward and experience the more soothing and calming effects of the emotion. This feeling of serenity is incredibly nourishing, though on occasion you may want to really unleash your happiness and share it with the people you love.
Respect:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience respect at a low intensity. When you place your respect in others, it means you've identified them as someone you value and approve of. Some people may think of respect as revering another person without reservation, but when you respect another person you tend to base it solely on your individual interactions with that person. Your tendency is to allow people the opportunity to earn your respect through positive proof of their character. For you, it may be liberating to allow yourself to dispense respect more freely, imagining that humans are generally good in nature.
Fear:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience fear at a high intensity. When something frightens you, such as a dark alleyway or an upcoming test, you may find that you feel panicked. In situations where others experience mild worry or anxiety, you may feel something closer to terror. While there are certainly times in your life when a high level of fear is appropriate and self-preserving, there are other times when your level of fear may be out of proportion with the actual or likely risks involved. You might consider employing some relaxation techniques the next time you feel overwhelmed with an irrational fear. (=S)
Sadness:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience sadness at a high intensity. When you get into a funk, you tend to feel heavy-hearted and, at times, inconsolable, whereas others, in a similar situation, experience a more mild unhappiness or moodiness. Your feelings of sadness indicate that you're in touch with your deepest emotions and that you aren't afraid to delve into painful feelings. Because of this, you're likely a more empathic person than others. While being able to access your grief is a useful emotional tool, you may be more prone to getting stuck in your sadness. During sad times, it's particularly important for you to make plans with others to watch a light comedy or engage in other uplifting activities. (-_-...)
Wonderment:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience wonderment at a high intensity. When something surprises you, you tend to be stunned for a long time. Unexpected news, such as a significant promotion at work, impacts people in different ways. Some people tend to feel mildly upset or alarmed, but you're more likely to feel shocked. If the intensity of your wonderment throws you off, it may be helpful for you to pay extra attention to the thoughts and concerns of those around you, as this may give you a heads up about things that would otherwise escape your attention
Hostility:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience hostility at a high intensity. When someone makes an inappropriate comment, for instance, you're more likely to feel loathing, whereas others may gravitate toward less intense feelings, such as dislike. Your feelings of intense hostility can be used as a gauge to identify behavior that is ultimately offensive or inappropriate, and they can motivate you to take action against such behavior. When misplaced, though, feelings of scorn and disdain can alienate others and sometimes poison you. Engaging in empathetic feelings toward yourself and others is a good way of defusing hostility when it seems out of proportion to the situation at hand.
Anger:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience anger at a high intensity. When you're wronged, you're more likely than others to feel enraged. The benefits of this experiencing anger at this intensity are that it's less likely that someone is going to take advantage of you or get away with mistreatment. You're your own best advocate. When experienced easily or frequently, however, feeling furious can take a toll on your well-being and on your close relationships. You may want to consider employing techniques like daily meditation to help cool the level of your anger. ( >.<....)
Expectancy:
Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience expectancy at a low intensity. For instance, when planning your vacation or getting ready to start something new, you feel curious, but you don't tend to over-prepare or give yourself over to eagerness. You tend to live more in the here-and-now, as opposed to yearning for what you'll someday have. This appreciation of the moment is something that others admire in you. Looking forward to things can add spice to life, but it also means risking disappointment. For you, it may be important to take a bit more of that risk, and allow yourself to spend a bit more time planning for your future
