Comment too long: Here's part 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needs/Desires: Your Needs, Desires, and Values (beta) This feature isn't really tested yet. Let me know how it works in the subreddit. - Acceptance (Sort of, but this is too simple a statement to fully convey the real situation. But as you said, it's in beta.) - Good Mental Health (I will always prioritize my mental health over almost anything and sometimes anyone, else. But it doesn't mean I won't lend an ear to someone else who needs to vent, etc.) - Achieving Happiness (No. Contentment. I prefer to be content. This is a big difference from being happy, because happiness is a drug produced by the mix of chemicals in our brain. I prefer to be content. But that has its own downsides, since contentment can lead to a weird sort of depression I never in my wildest dreams thought possible till I had to deal with it. I was too content, to the point where it depressed me.) Going to add my own 2 here to help make this more accurate: - Stability. This goes hand in hand with good mental health and contentment. I !NEED! my finances to be stable, or at least able to be projected and understood to some extent, so I can plan ahead like I prefer to. When things become chaotic in this regard, I can become very depressed very fast. - Independence. I like to be around others to some degree, but I hate being dependent on others without good reason. Like, really damn good reason. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommendation: You might own You might already own or plan to buy something like the sodastream because you'd get to create a bunch of random drinks before you went back to just buying name brand soda (Actually, no. I use their syrups sometimes to change the flavors of some teas and/or juice mixes I drink now and then; but I don't drink soda anymore. Even then, I mostly just bought them so I could have something useful to sweeten my drinks with, while also being able to keep/reuse the brown glass bottle for my other activities.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possible Theme: The Bigger The Better The internet is awesome. (Ehhhh... sorta. Too many people on it now, which means that the worst are dragging it down.) You work with tech or maybe have considered it. (I own nearly 10k worth in tech.) You probably have a knack for coding, and might love to work for a tech company if you already don't. (I don't code... not really. Not yet. But I do reverse engineer the code of some games that devs don't finish properly to make mods for my own use so that their game sucks less. Civilization is a good example of this becoming more and more required every iteration released. Seriously, if anyone who works in 2k is reading this, please for the love of all that is good; actually finish one of your games, please. Deity mode is not properly named.) You are patient and have a passion for the job you do. (See prior comment) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: As before, so too again, see part 3 to read to the end.

Comment still too long for part 2: Here's part 3. Possible Theme: Expression You put a lot of thought into what you say and how you say it. You use your words to make an impact on people. You give life to the words you speak. You are passionate about your personality and what it is you do. You care about what you put out into the world. You are intuitive, and you use it to find your way around this world or the one you create. (I'm going to just leave this as it is.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possible Theme: Ready for Anything You're a rugged outdoorsman who's always ready for a challenge. You're ready for any kind of adventure. You love to hunt and fish, camp out under the stars, and explore new places. You like to be outdoors, in nature, and you love to meet new people. You can't wait to find out what's out there. You don't just play it safe. You're a risk-taker who loves adventure and a challenge. (This one is both correct and incorrect. It's correct up to the point where it goes on about "you don't just play it safe." When I take personality tests like the Ipip-Neo, I tend to score up in the 90th percentile area for cautiousness. But... I'm also not the most cautious person in the world. I will take risks; but not until I have ascertained all the variables I can manage to. Which... means I'm not really taking a risk anymore. But as for the rest.. Yeah, it's accurate enough, but I also don't do any of that stuff right now. Used to as a kid and teen; but that was back when I had the ability to due to ease of access to these sorts of things. Now? It's complicated. For those who are interested though, look up Carla Emery's Guide to Country Living. 9th edition, 1st version. There are 2 versions of the 9th edition. My mother used to own a copy, and I found another for myself.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possible Theme: Purgatorial Your personality theme is purgatorial. It feels like we're in the in-between times. You wonder: What's next? What's the meaning of it all? You may feel like we've lost our way. You're tired. You have no energy. You're may be struggling to keep up with the demands of your work, your family, or maybe kids. You have no time to relax or to explore yourself. You may be burned out. You have a nagging feeling that something's wrong. You feel like you're not doing what you're meant to be doing. (This one actually hits things on the head pretty accurately to some extent, even with the contradiction to earlier statements the NLP model made. Like energy for example. I do feel split between multiple potential outcomes. And yes, life does sometimes feel like it's actually just purgatory. Other times it feels a lot like Carl Jung's idea of synchronicity and I am just riding on the crest of the wave sometimes. As far as having to keep up with the demands of life, it's mostly other people I get to deal with. See the bit about tolerating others again. I have no kids, regretfully and thankfully. My family is both something I hold dear, but also prefer to keep at a distance. I go to work only because I have to. This may be true for many in some ways, but for me it really is the backdrop of my life. If I could somehow keep having the things I have, and be able to explore my ideas for inventions and creations without having to work for someone else; I would be. I have many of both floating around in my head, and some them just might actually work out to help humanity in many ways. But those same ideas would require that I have someone willing to fund me without any expectation of a return, as these could all fail. I could be completely wrong. But if I am right, then many things we struggle with today would become things of the past. And so I feel as if I am not doing what I am meant to be doing.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Possible Theme: Escapism Your personality theme is escapism. This world's boring! Let's take a test drive through another, more interesting, one. These places you go through books or games have a way of making you feel special and happy. These are the most interesting places you've ever been, and the world you live in is not like any other you've ever been to. (Pretty much.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay folks. That's it. I could probably add more, and probably should say more; but this is getting long enough. I figured I would do this write up since it might help the creator of this, make their creation more accurate perhaps. Feel free to comment in your reply, but remember the whole common decency thing. I have a lot of patience for those who deserve it, but only them.
