On the first one, I came out as low anxiety & secure. But the results to the "Choose Your Own Date" part of it seem to have become the first ritual sacrifice to my newly installed Ad Block - because I don't see those anywhere.
Me either - I cold see the quadrant graph but not the rating of the answers. And I really wish I could. I did it twice, and the second time was really reflecting on how the answers might indicate 'security'.
I'm not very anxious but I'm somewhat fearful/avoidant. IT's not surprising - I'm working on it.
Taz, I recently installed Ad Block, too, and I got all the "choose your own" stuff. Perhaps something else is the stumbling block.
I scored as very secure, which is quite true perhaps for the first time in my life, and as not at all avoidant, which is all too true. I want to talk about the hard stuff, in part to define and solve problems and in part because it's fascinating. Yes, I'm like an android. A gray-haired, biscuit-baking android who wants to talk about your painful personal life!
So, like the Grandma-bot in that Ray Bradbury story. Oh, my.
I got the "choose your own" questions, but not their results, Elsa. So, in the end, I did get results on the Anxiety/Avoidance chart, but not the Flash results they talk about for the "choose" part... did you get that?
On a toooootally unrelated note, thanks to poor shopping coupled with pointless stubbornness, I accidentally gave up coffee for the past week. But I just broke down and brewed a monstrously big pot. Soon, I'll start noticing tiny details like half a webpage talking about Flash displays that aren't there for me.
It totally spazzed out on me with error messages after we were on the road with his parents. And i had chosen not to tell him to be grateful i was driving the fucker because he had a bad week. Assbite.
I think I broke it. Probably because I don't really have a partner and was just winging it, based on my vague memories of other relationships and other surveys I've dallied with in the past. I'm sure that made it feel insecure. Then it asked me to name my fictional partner so I tried to use Nick, because I've never dated a Nick but I've always liked the name and also, you know, there's my longtime Nicolas Cage crush - anyway, apparently the uneasy emotional baggage I brought to the survey made it go boom. Ah well.
Okay, so I read the comments in this thread before taking the test, but not thoroughly enough to figure out what was going on. After seeing the thing about Vulcans, Mark Prior, and Mr. Potato Head, I assumed that the test was going to match me up with some fictional character (or sports figure) at the end.
But all I found out was that my fictional partner is really quite an asshole.
