I appreciate you.
There are so may examples I could choose and I'm afraid I won't pick the perfect one and it'll be a bad example but here's one: "The sight of blood does not frighten me or make me sick." True or false?
I worked as a combat medic and served in six war zones. I can tell you without hesitation that when faced with an emergency situation such as I routinely faced during that time in my life, the answer is a resounding 'true'. When in a non-emergency situation, the answer is a resounding 'false'. This actually, is not uncommon with folks in the medical field I have found.

But the main thing is, you must make one choice and stick with it. I would say that is the mindset i had to enter. Was i a scientist or a comedian?

*nods* Agreed. I wasn't thrilled with the example I gave above... idk, it gets very complicated for me. Think of it this way - if you've ever driven home tired and found yourself pulling in to your driveway without remembering driving the last twenty miles, then you've dissociated. Most people have done so at some point in their lives. They'll say something like, "I was on autopilot" or "the car drove itself home".
Now imagine someone telling you not to do it. It's not a choice. I know it must seem ridiculous, but we'll often switch involuntarily for mere seconds at a time - long enough for me to acknowledge an acquaintance who is passing us on the street, or long enough for her to answer a question that only she knows the answer to.
This is what I try to do though, inadvertently I'll leave off at question 333 and find myself returning about question 412. (Okay, those numbers were arbitrary, just an example). In a perfect world, I'd go back to the last question I remember answering and check the answers from there but I spent so much time trying to figure out the answer to 'my sex life is satisfactory' that the office is closing in five minutes.
Btw, satisfactory means, 'meeting expectations or needs' according to Webster. I live alone and do not have a girlfriend. I lack of sex therefore, certainly meets my expectations - I don't expect that I'll be having any and that's met. Apparently I don't need sex either because I haven't spontaneously combusted yet. So, true, my sex life is satisfactory. Math equation - fuzzy but I can fix it. Of course, my answer to this question has to be different from a related question three pages from here (another validity test - TRIN). Unfortunately, the answer to this question is also true which is an indication that I am either lying or answering randomly.
~sigh~
