True or False?
—
Forward-looking and progressive, you are a person who
supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and you are
often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social
improvement. You are extremely aware of the interconnection and
interdependence of all people, and are always relating personal
issues to some larger framework. You see the political or social
ramifications of personal actions, and you wish to contribute
something of value to the world, or at least to your community
or group.
The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood,
social justice, etc. color your whole outlook and approach to
life. You are truly interested in the good of the whole and not
only your own personal well-being.
Sometimes you may overlook or ignore your own and others’
personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not
conform to your ideals of how one SHOULD feel or act. Though you
have little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, you
yourself are sometimes dogmatic about your beliefs and
ideologies.
You are attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in
human thought and development, and you are eclectic and
cosmopolitan in your tastes. You may consider yourself a “global
citizen” rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification
based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. You are
strongly influenced by your peer group and the flavor of the
times in which you grew up, more so than by parental or family
influences. You are involved and active in groups, community
efforts, cultural and progressive movements.
On a personal level, you are friendly and express a kind of
impersonal good will towards others. You probably have many
acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of your
closeness with others is based on a sharing of common ideals and
principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see you as a
good friend and comrade, who is objective, fair, and rather
detached emotionally. You do not often show your emotions, and
may be unsure how to respond to others’ emotional expression,
for you tend to be very rational.
You are also very independent and refuse to be possessed by
any individual. You are not comfortable with traditional sexual
roles and are inclined to have “liberated” views about marriage,
relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc.
You need to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere
and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing
of family ties, and close, deep, personal sharing may take a
back seat to your work or outside social involvements.
You are, in many ways, an eternal child. Your mind is
bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for
new experiences – and your attention span is often quite brief.
You grasp ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been
satisfied, you want to go on to something else. You crave
frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people.
It may be hard for you to decide just where your talents and
true vocation lies, for you have a multitude of interests and
are loathe to limit yourself by concentrating on just one. You
are easily distracted by all of the other fascinating
possibilities. Your curiosity and restlessness propel you into
many different experiences in life, and you are willing to taste
or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again,
even it is something you do well, is real drudgery for you.
You live in your head a great deal – reading, observing,
thinking, spinning ideas around – and you need mental
stimulation every bit as much as you need food and drink. In
fact, if you had to choose between a good book or movie and a
good lunch, you would very likely choose the former. You have a
creative mind and often live by your wits.
You are also a very social creature, with a strong need to
communicate and to interact with people. You enjoy using and
playing with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas
across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing or
speaking are areas you have talent for.
You also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humor,
and often do not take anything too seriously. Though you crave
emotional involvement, it is hard for you to achieve it, for you
are frequently unwilling to commit yourself to anything, to take
responsibility, or to limit your personal freedom and mobility.
Your happiness lies in using your creativity and your
language skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach,
inspire, or bring people together. You have an unbiased mind and
can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Your
faults are your lack of constancy and persistence, and your
tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other
people’s feelings.
