Personality test
Just took a personality test about "moody-ness" and big whoop, guess what, I'm pretty moody. The test says that my mood swings between 'exhausted' and 'uneasy'.
here's a small portion of what it said (can't post up all of it due to copyright laws):
"At any given moment during the day, you're likely to feel reserved, pensive and withdrawn. Since you are sometimes uncertain about life and its quirks, you prefer to lay low rather than pursue activities. You experience about 7 times as many negative moods as you do positive moods.
The way you perceive the events of your life can also play into the type and severity of the moods that you experience. Each of us has different internal beliefs about how life tends to unfold—whether you believe that it is dependent on your own actions or whether you think it is outside of your personal control. These internal perceptions can have a persistent and powerful affect on your mood state.
For you, your internal beliefs tend to emphasize your own behavior over external forces. You tend to blame yourself when things go poorly and take all the credit when things go well. Your particular thought pattern—which focuses on your own actions rather than on external events—has the tendency to stick you with a lot of responsibility for how situations in your life turn out.
Most life events unfold as a result of both your actions and situational factors. By placing too much emphasis on either your own behavior or external forces, your worldview may become skewed in a way that is unhelpful in fostering your general well-being and happiness. "
Sheesh, they make it sound like I'm 'damaged' or sick or something. It basically says that I have some sort of twisted perception of the world and thats the reason I feel negative. I can't say that the test is completely inaccurate, though I think that it's probably not a far cry from the truth.
