Fear is the emotion that disables me the most.

I’d prefer to stay at home with a good movie than go out and be sociable.

I am wary of people and their motives.

I am very introspective.

I often lack stamina.

I love naps and give them to myself whenever I can.

I have lots of curiosity, and I can have a childlike wonder.

I am often running late, but I still don’t rush.

In groups of people, I often keep my feelings and thoughts to myself.

I am OK being anonymous.

In class or in a group, I try to hide in the back.

I love reading books, newspapers, and great articles in magazines.

I am eager or feel driven to read or write daily.

Ideas, more than people, stir my soul.

I have brilliant ideas that stimulate others, and could change the world, but I need someone else to make them happen.

I have a complex inner world that can be difficult for others to understand.

I am fine with just a few good friends. I don’t need a huge social life.

I am slow to divulge my true feelings and careful of what I tell others about who I am.

I want to uncover truths and mysteries.

I yearn for meaning to this experience on Earth.

I am very self-reflective.

If I am disturbed while in a creative process, it is difficult for me to get back on track.

I am comfortable being a follower and not a leader.

When I feel “seen,” I am more loving.

I feel young and playful when I am loved.

I am persistent.

Above all else, I want to be loved by people.

I go with the flow.

I can get lost in the arts or creative processes.

I am very private.

Among friends, I can be very playful.

I have been accused of being too secretive.

I tend to believe that the world is a dangerous place and one needs to be careful.

It takes me a while to really trust someone.

Home is my safe haven, especially with my pajamas and popcorn.

When I sit, I slouch and become one with the chair.

When I walk, move, or dance, I flow like water.

I don’t love to exercise, but when I do, I prefer it to be something flowing and slow, like swimming or walking.

Playing games like softball works well for me because the action isn’t constant.

When I speak, I often drone on for a long time.

Sinking into isolation. It’s common for people to have a hard time reaching me.

I retreat deep into myself and feel resistant if people try to coax me out.

I can become depressed and feel that I have no purpose.

I lose energy easily and need to nap or sleep in order to restore it.

I often feel suspicious of people, and I am aware of what they haven’t done for me.

When I am one-on-one, I can wax on eloquently for hours.

I lose motivation easily.

I shouldn’t have to take care of me; I want someone else to do it.

I feel paranoid at times.

I suspect people and their secrets, yet I do not want my secrets exposed.

I feel scared a lot.

I feel paralyzed and frozen at times.

Urgency is not in my nature, and I can lose track of time.

I can get “icy” and be hard.

I am more aware of how you’re hurting me than of how I’m hurting you.

I dwell on the past and its pain.
