From ColorQuiz.com. Italicized the things that are especially relevant.

-

Your Existing Situation
Easily affected by her environment and readily moved by the emotions of others. Seeks congenial relationships and an occupation which will promote them.

Your Stress Sources
The situation is regarded as threatening or dangerous. Resentful that what she has striven so hard for is being menaced, and disparate because she feels powerless to prevent it--fears that she is going to miss out altogether. Unable to view the situation objectively, but extremely agitated and cannot rest in her attempts to remove this threat to her desires. Over-extended and feels beset, possibly to the point of nervous prostration.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Emotionally inhibited. Feels forced to compromise, making it difficult for her to form a stable emotional attachment. Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity providing no turmoil or emotional agitation is involved.

Your Desired Objective
Wants to make a favorable impression and be rewarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether she is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to her. This makes her feel that she is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

Your Actual Problem
Has a fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants. This leads her to employ great personal charm in her dealings with others, hoping that this will make it easier for her to reach her objectives.

Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on her resources. This feeling of powerlessness subjects her to agitation and acute distress. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

I've taken this quiz before, and I'm pretty sure these weren't the results I got back then. And the quiz was still pretty accurate back then, too.

Jack Torrance thought: Officious little pricks. That was why they took the bells off the goats, bells that the Arabs had swapped them for macaws, and put them at the entrance to town at the disposal of those who would not listen to the advice and entreaties of the sentinels and insisted on visiting the town. She had slept, then - was it possible - it must be eight or nine o'clock already! I certainly did not know English in those days (Paola told me I had learned it only as an adult) but luckily there were also many translations. Will you tell us about the other worlds out among the stars - the other kinds of men, the other lives?

Cleaned out my icons a bit and uploaded a new one...not that it was that big of a deal considering that I only have 6 icons here, sob. I think I shall have to upgrade to Plus soon, even though the ads make my LJ look fugly, 'cause I'm not ready to shell out the cash for a Paid Account here yet.

I'm also thinking of putting up some anime reviews (the term used loosely) here soon. I wrote them up in another journal, but I'll clean them up for perusal here and make them look all o-fish-ul and schnazz. :D
