The Pierley/Redford Dissociative Affect Diagnostic

[five sounds]

You tend to draw and nurture others with your natural charisma. Rarely satisfied with petty details, you remain focused on the grander scheme of things. In affairs of the heart you are very practical and might be thought on occasion perfunctory or shallow. Oddly, though you have a natural tendency to lead, you have a very thin skin and can easily be hurt by a thoughtless comment or a cruel barb. There is a danger that you will take on more responsibility than you can reasonably be expected to manage. So eager are you to succeed, that on occasion you crash and burn when the reality of the situation rears its head. Often your wide circle of friends can be rather indiscriminate; care must be taken not to become entangled with those of questionable moral character. Admitting weakness isn’t easy for you. When proven not to be invulnerable it can come as a great surprise. Unresolved issues can trouble you deeply.

funny little test, wasn't it? don't particularly relate to my results i must say.

 

[Kariekter]

Always happy in a crowd, you love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun. You tend to think in a more holistic manner than many others. Like a crow you are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship. You love to talk or gossip. You are highly invested in the reality of day-to-day life. Practicality is far more important than issues of honor or allegiance. You are a creature of the here and now. You are a natural multi-tasker, often switching mid-thought from one duty to another. You have a flair for presenting your personality in your work, and are known as a great storyteller and natural actor. You are very skilled at taking in a barrage of information and distilling what is most important from it. Naturally charming, you are quick to win new friends. Over stimulation is a danger.

 

[HongDou]

haha um mine was totally off

Though quiet on the outside, you are often the hidden hero; someone who rushes in when needed and then after the emergency is over fades back into the woodwork. Because of this sense of duty and honor, you can also on occasion be rigid in your viewpoint and unyielding in the face of other ways of thinking. Usually cynical and rarely trusting of others, you maintain a small set of intimate friends. These bonds are stronger than most. You are always grounded in the present moment. Your close bonds can also lead to clique-ishness and a tendency to gossip about those who are deemed less worthy. You are an integrative thinker, collecting data from a wide range of sources and applying it to your worldview. You can become overly task-oriented. In stressful situations you often withdraw from the world to seek peace in contemplation. You often seem cold and withdrawn. Often you will withdraw rather than verbalize your discontent.

 

[Alehand]

Quiet and very self-assured, you tend to keep your own council. Pragmatic and practical to a fault, you are not one to worry about the finer points of philosophical discourse. In fact, because you are very much an individualist, you often finds yourself at odds with the established truth or the wishes of the majority. You will often earn the wrath of an employer by taking upon yourself decisions which are rightly those of your manager. You are not one to take credit unless it is deserved. Similarly however, you will also not happily give credit where it is not due. In a romantic relationship you can be very frustrating. While you do care deeply and sincerely, and are willing to work at a relationship, your confidence in your own abilities can on occasion make it difficult to see the world from a partner’s point of view. Quiet and stoic at times, you can drive a more emotional individual completely up the wall. You can become overstressed and fatigued without knowing it. Taking time to rest between bouts of hard work can help to prevent a breakdown later on.

I am unnerved at the accuracy.

Instinctual personality type

test

Quite an unusual test but very interesting (Don't ask me why it's called instinctual )
those questions...No shape, I don't think you're me. I'm going to look at shapes more suspiciously in the future...
You'll understand what I'm saying when you take the test.

My result:

Always happy in a crowd, you love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun. You tend to think in a more holistic manner than many others. Like a crow you are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship. You love to talk or gossip.

Crowds and gossip? How about NO. Creature of the here and now lmao

 

[á´…eparted]

I have to admit, this is very accurate. I can't say anything is out of place, and more than half of it is dead on:

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.

Bolded what fit and left what didn't. I think I might have gotten this last time too. Fairly accurate though. The questions kind of freak me out when they're combined with the eerie lighting.

I questioned reality when it asked me:
1.which shape plans to betray you?
2.which one knows your secret?

1.which shape plans to betray you?
2.which one knows your secret?

The one that got to me as "Am I you?"

 

[Daenera]

The one that got to me as "Am I you?"

That one almost broke me. Like I didn't have enough identity issues as a 4. Thanks shape.

 

[Galena]

"Your power comes from an ability to sense how things might be and to proclaim this possibility with a great force and willingness to act. You have a tendency to be romantic, and can be an idealist. This sense of how the world can be is often expressed with self-deprecatory humor. Because of your need to address the immediacy of the moment, you may not think things through to their logical end, relying instead on a feeling for how a situation SHOULD end. You need to be liked and appreciated by others, although your attention often wanders. Sometimes you neglect old friends in favor of a new or exciting acquaintance. You have a real difficulty being alone. Often you will seem to know how to handle a situation without exactly knowing HOW you know this. Your thoughts are often shallow. While in the excitement of the moment you can obsess about a task at hand. If it should become rote and unexciting, however, it can be dropped just as quickly."

Some bits don't work, but most of it does.

 

[Galena]

The artist made more of these. The second and third tests are ten times creepier than the first.

"Do not think these words or it will know."

 

[Kullervo]

You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. Emotionally volatile, you are known for sudden changes of opinion, of appreciation, and behavior. Following rules and established methods is difficult for you and the difficulties of higher education are usually quite daunting. Knowledge is best gained through an intimate association with the matter at hand. Usually driven by attitudes and desires of the group, you are talented in an established field of endeavor. Emotions come and go without a strong understanding of their causes. They are unexpected guests in an otherwise placid landscape. You live by your own codes of conduct, which can be noble or terrible depending on the individual. Authority is meaningless to you. You hate to be predictable, at all costs. Rarely verbally effusive, you can at times feel as if your feelings are too deep for words. You are very observant, but rarely express these observations to others.

*shrugs* Well I am a little drunk right now, but yeah, this is reasonably accurate. Sounds kind of badass actually.

What a bizarre test...

 

[laterlazer]

You need to help others and to be thought of as a generous and kind individual. Often you are taken advantage of and regarded as simply part of the scenery. You work best when handling the work yourself; you do not appreciate a managerial role and tend to be uncomfortable in that position. Friendship is important to you, but it is generated on a personal basis, rarely a professional one. Consequently, family life is very important to you, and is often the most important aspect. Because of a strong sense of propriety however, you will sometimes consider the eccentric behavior of your friends and family as a personal affront. Often you find it difficult to speak up about personal anguish or pain, feeling instead that it is something an individual should bear in silence. Tradition is important to you, and you feel a sense of belonging when operating within the constraints of a predictable routine.

Interesting, I honestly mostly went for what struck out to me first and barely processed most of the questions. Some of it fits, probably just the line about propriety and the thing about tradition doesn't work but I get the others.

So I attempted the other tests um...

Test 2: So weird, I feel like I was actually undergoing hypnosis with that creepy music too!

This client is searching for ways to connect with others, because he or she feels innately separate from other individuals. Rather than react with alienation however, the client seeks to overcome obstacles, believing that such behavior will earn public recognition. Is highly observant and in the moment.

The client's life is in limbo at the moment, and this lack of affect is weighing heavily on his or her emotions, preventing rest and relaxation. Emotional relationships are unsatisfying and there is a perceived lack of mutuality. Often the choices that this individual makes will be an attempt, perhaps unconsciously, to acheive the affection that is missing.

Only thing I'll disagree with here is the reacting, I pretty much alienate a lot of the time.

Test 3 - UM WTF WAS THAT. I LEGIT STARTED PANICKING WHEN I LOOKED TOO HARD/FOR A WHILE.

You hold resentments that your problems are greater than they need to be. However there is a feeling that you can overcome them with effort. Whether or not this is true, it will tend to leave you feeling less hopeless than others who do not feel a sense of impact upon the world around them. You take pride in being able to change course when problems evolve and there is a distinct sense of personal agency, which can help to address rising anxiety caused by lack of success.

You will reject any limitations on your freedom or constraints upon your behavior. You desire above all to control your fortunes and will respond with great anger and anxiety if your self-determination is constrained. You believe that only by following your own beliefs explicitly will you be able to attain the respect you feel that you deserve.

I think the second paragraph is somewhat true to me, the first not as much. Generally not feeling it.

These jacked up tests, never again.
Don't you just love when there's a warning about possibly having to see a therapist at the end.

 

[Hive]

The way it's designed is very appealing. Unfortunately the results were shit.

Tradition is important to you, and you feel a sense of belonging when operating within the constraints of a predictable routine.

 

[hjgbujhghg]

actually wow... it is surprisingly very fitting
You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.

[Forever]

Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring, you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.

...No.
