I just took this quiz and I got a high score...was wondering if any of you have taken it and what your thoughts are on it.

The "What Are You Hiding?" Quiz

Just took it. It said I'm not repressing much. Had I taken this 5 years ago, I would have gotten a much higher score.

This is what I got =

You aren't repressing much. You can generally trust yourself to maintain an even keel and a healthy emotional life. You're a good judge of people, but you tend to be a bit gullible and naive. It might help to remember not everyone is as open and straightforward as you are.

Who would have thought?

Mine said: "39 - 50 : You deliberately "go blind" to significant aspects of your experience..."

Yup...that's about right. Except, T and I agree that I've done it so much that it is no longer deliberate and more of a reflex. She says she seen me do it right in front of her. Smh.

Your Result:
27 - 38
You're generally in touch with yourself, but there are a few issues you might want to deal with more openly. Keeping a private journal and confiding in trusted friends will help you stay in touch with your feelings. You'll be surprised how good it feels to clean out the clutter in your subconscious mind.

I'm sure 15 yrs ago I would be off the charts

I got this too. This seems to cause me problems all the time: " It might help to remember not everyone is as open and straightforward as you are."

Get professional help. You're a walking powder keg of repressed material. The reason you haven't processed all this toxic stuff is that it's too frightening or painful to handle on your own, and your loved ones probably can't process it all that well either. Cognitive ("talk") therapy and perhaps a good antidepressant can help you find freedom and happiness."

Ugh... But idk if repressing is really the right word because I think I know now enough of what happened to know what is going on with me, but I'm not at all able to deal with it so I just run away from it a lot and refuse to talk/think about it

You deliberately "go blind" to significant aspects of your experience—maybe your own behavior, maybe someone else's, maybe both. Create a space and time for looking squarely at the truths you may be hiding from yourself. Group therapy or one-on-one counseling could make this easier and more effective.

WELP...I'm on the right track. lol

I had to repeat the test when I read what Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde personality is but both times got the same score...

same score here

Jebus. I got 51-62. What am I repressing? I'm a bit surprised.

"You're repressing a considerable amount of emotion and information, and this affects your daily life in negative ways. You sometimes behave irresponsibly, or even destructively, at work and in relationships. You could benefit from reading psychology or self-help books that interest you, and therapy would be enormously helpful."

51 - 62

Yeah, I admit it I'm repressing a whole lot emotionally right now but it really is the easiest option right now.

Um....could've been put in a less alarming and criticizing manner lol But I've been in therapy for almost 1.5 years and still scored this high....Not sure if this test is statistically significant so I'll try not to take it too much to heart.

[stopdog]

The test called me open and gullible.
I have my doubts about it.

This is correct. I tend to deal with my "issues" in private. I don't push them away whenever I think about them.

Me too...right down to my T's suggestion and my grudging agreement!
