Looking at this site…
I'll be editing each of these in, since I'm on a phone…
Type 1: Of course I want to be good! Somebody needs to be good to survive out there in the world! Seriously, though, this type sounds like me back when I was a little kid. Not too little though, since I only started acting like this when I was completely certain my faith was the only true one. Level 7 of type 1 was spot on for me from ages 4-12.
Type 2: Don't we all want to be loved? Seriously, though, I see love as a pure virtue. Love can move mountains. I always am looking for a way to pep up the day of those close to me. I do everything that I am asked that I remember (my forgetfulness is awful, but genuine) I often intuit ways to do a little something special for my friends and family, but usually something ends up broken or I forget what I'm doing midway and I wander off or I break some social rule I didn't think of until then. As a result, my friends and family say that I shouldn't do favors for them. I learned the best way to be helpful is to sit away from important things becuase I am ridiculously accident-prone.
Type 3: I don't want to be worthless, but I often feel that way. I can never seem to do anything right. I would like to be known as a good writer, but everything conspires against me. I just don't get how and why everyone else is so wonderful, but I'm so horrible.
Type 4: I want for there to be meaning in my life. I feel like I search for it constantly. Beauty is something that truly unites us all in wonder at the greatness of the world.
Type 5: I defininately use learning and knowledge as a distraction from worse things. I enjoy learning. If everybody just could have a good education, the world would be a better place.
Type 6: We all need security, but core 6 takes this to the extreme. I am defininately a worrier, though. If I'm not feeling well, I worry. If the country is heading for fiscal Armageddon, I worry.
Type 7: I like to keep things light. If you aren't enjoying yourself, what are you doing? I once tried to stay bouncy and fun to bring the best out in people, but everybody says that that is immature and inappropriate. Now, I tone things down a little. I wish I could relax a little.
Type 8: Having my own stash of resources sounds nice and all, but hurting and intimidating people is not the way to do it.
Type 9: I like peaceful surroundings.
It's getting late…I'll finish tomorrow…
