Here is my "Actual Problem:"
"Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety. You desire recognition and position, but you are worried about your prospects. You react to this by protesting at any criticism and resisting any attempt to influence you. You try to assert yourself by meticulous control of detail in an effort to strengthen your position."

OTM!
I'm a stress-omatic!

Good lord, I didn't think to save mine but according to it i am severely depressed by my situation and need physical and mental healing in serene surroundings.

H (Heruy), Friday, 22 November 2002 19:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Can't get it to work on either browser I have! Weird.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 22 November 2002 19:31 (twenty-three years ago)

It was mainly wrong about me. I need security, it said, and that was about the only thing it got right.

Is there *really* a basis for this in science?

what's with the computer game marketing?

right on though, creepy

It said this about me :

Stress arising from suppression of physical or sexual desires and insufficient consideration for bodily needs Psychological interpretation: The existing situation is disagreeable. You have an unsatisfied need to ally yourself with others whose standards are as high as your own, and to stand out from the common herd. The control of your sensual instincts restricts your ability to give yourself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and to allow yourself to merge with another. This disturbs you, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; you feel that only continued self-restraint can you hope to maintain your attitude of individual superiority. You want to be loved or admired for yourself alone; you need attention, recognition and the esteem of others In brief: You demand esteem as an exceptional individual.


Blimey!!

C J (C J), Friday, 22 November 2002 19:51 (twenty-three years ago)

i like the coloured moons.

Stress and anxiety due to conflict between hope and necessity following acute disappointment. Psychological interpretation: Disappointment and unfulfilled hopes have given rise to an anxious uncertainty, while doubts that things will be any better in the future lead to the postponement of essential decisions. This conflict between hope and necessity is creating considerable pressure. Instead of resolving this by facing up to making the essential decision, you are likely to immerse yourself in the pursuit of trivialities as an escape route. In brief: Frustrated vacillation.

jel -- (jel), Friday, 22 November 2002 20:13 (twenty-three years ago)

My existing situation:

You are suffering from the effects of those things which are being rejected as disagreeable and you are strongly resisting them. You just want to be left in peace.

My stress source:

You are working to improve your image in the eyes of others in order to obtain their compliance and agreement with your needs and wishes.

My restrained characteristics:

You are willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity. (BLIMEY)

My desired objective:

Stresses resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. Psychological interpretation: Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to anything you might hope for, and become helpless and distressed when circumstances go against you. You find the mere possibility of failure more upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. You see yourself as a "victim" who has been misled and abused, you mistake this dramatisation for reality, and try to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing recognition is the fault of others. In brief: Unrealistic self-justification.

My actual problem:

Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, emptiness and an unadmitted self-contempt. Your refusal to admit this leads to you adopting a head-strong and defiant attitude.

(in short: I am a nihilist!)

Disappointment and unfulfilled hopes have given rise to an anxious uncertainty, while doubts that things will be any better in the future lead to the postponement of essential decisions = this is so true, the route of my evil.

jel -- (jel), Friday, 22 November 2002 20:20 (twenty-three years ago)

It thinks I'm a raging egoist who always needs to be right! That I won't accept others' opinions! So off the money, actually I need to research and argue with people before I make decisions so that I feel like I'm getting all the information I need.

"You take easily and quickly to anything which provides stimulation. Preoccupied with things of an intensely exciting nature, whether erotically stimulating or otherwise. You want to be regarded as an exciting and interesting personality with an altogether charming and impressive influence on others. You use tactics cleverly so as to avoid endangering your chances of success or undermining others' confidence in yourself.

Stress: Insecure. You seek roots, stability, emotional security and an environment providing greater ease and fewer problems.

Restrained: Circumstances are forcing you to compromise, to restrain your demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things you want."

Objective stayed blank

Problem: "Anxiety and a restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional needs, have produced stress. You try to escape into an idealised atmosphere of sympathy and understanding, or into a substitute environment of aestheticism and beauty."

It's mostly pretty true, except I think the last sentence of the first section is way off, and some of it (paras 2 and 3) apply to most people.

Anyway, very pretty coloured moons.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 22 November 2002 20:48 (twenty-three years ago)

the blue moon is my fave, the green and yellow are least pretty.

jel -- (jel), Friday, 22 November 2002 21:06 (twenty-three years ago)

no way, brown is worse than green and yellow.
I think you must have given the wrong answer.

A Nairn (moretap), Friday, 22 November 2002 21:54 (twenty-three years ago)

yay, I got linked to the hottest redmoon charcter: Lunarena

A Nairn (moretap), Friday, 22 November 2002 21:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I took the test, it said I suffered from delusions of grandeur and a persecution complex, and I needed to calm the fuck down, and then the goddamn computer went and ATE MY FUCKING POST ABOUT IT!!! Arrrggghhh!!! Tell me the world isn't out to get me.

All this because I fucking hate yellow and orange?

kate, Friday, 22 November 2002 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

These comments seem so vague and generally true for anyone that I don't see what value any of this has. But then again, I'm a cynical bastard.

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Saturday, 23 November 2002 01:54 (twenty-three years ago)

this test features in bad timing; theresa russell does it on the hood of a dodge*

*warning: i have no idea what a "dodge" is, or indeed any other car except a ka, which it isn't

mark s (mark s), Saturday, 23 November 2002 02:04 (twenty-three years ago)

my answer was v.wrong to the point of being silly

mark s (mark s), Saturday, 23 November 2002 02:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I HATE that thing, I really do. Not because of the test itself though.

Maria (Maria), Saturday, 23 November 2002 03:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate it, too. It looked right through me.

man, Saturday, 23 November 2002 03:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah my results. I did better on the SATs, I think ;-)
