Discussion about survey: Attraction, preference and tolerance to dark moods.
While ago I asked people to provide answers to my survey about dark moods, quoted below. New answers are okay!
Now that a good number of people have participated, I'd like to ask what you have learned. Any patterns, hunches of motivations, any recurring themes..
How would you group the respondents per their answers? I.e. there's this common theme that people of type A answer like this and this, people like B answer like this .. what kind of groups would you make?
Anything you've already learned? Has this worked to raise just more questions?

I'd like to understand this topic in order to understand one individual in my life and get along with that person better. Perhaps this is a common theme I'm willing to understand - so perhaps this survey will help other persons than me, as well.
I'm trying to find what kind of factors lead to people being tolerant of dark moods, and what part of the amount of internal and external stress plays in their lives. I'm also trying to find how life skills and achievement work into it.
Here goes.
How much do you agree to each the following statements?
1: Strongly disagree
2: Somewhat disagree
3: Neither agree or disagree
4: Somewhat agree
5: Strongly agree
Please give a numerical response to every question you can.
If you wish, explain your answers, too, but I don't expect this of anyone. Number alone is sufficient.
