Graphoanalysis - Personality study . take this test

I am becoming more interested in this field. "Graphoanalysis" is the copyrighted name for a particular style of handwriting analysis.

There are others...

The human personality is of endless interest. Fascinating. The fact (skeptics dispute) that handwriting shows personality really turns me on. Furthermore, I've read that by changing one's handwriting, one can actually modify their personalities. This was stated with caution, because changing one trait can reveal or create another less desirable. I know very little about that so far.

HOWEVER, I ran across this "personality" test on one of the sites. It worked for me. Try it.

Quiz: Answer the question with "Boat" or "Plane"

Treyce developed and copyrighted this quiz and, currently over 1083 people have taken it with 99% accuracy.

If money were no problem and you could only buy one of these objects, would you buy a boat or a small, personal airplane?




.. (answer follows)







Answers

Boat: this indicates that you do not always set your goals/expectations high enough. This may cause you to feel unfulfilled as you seem to "settle" in many places within your life (marriage, job, etc). When you wish to "escape" you probably find yourself close to home and/or limit yourself to geographical places that you are familiar with to some extent.

Plane: you set your goals/expectations high; while most are realistic, some may be hard to reach. However you do not typically or easily lose sight of them. When you want to "escape" you have no problem going to unfamiliar places. For you the "sky truly is the limit".


I answered Boat, and will stick with it even though it isn't very flattering.

Serendipitously, I had some of these thoughts driving home from work tonight. I am seriously considering a relocation. As I was driving along my familiar road, I happened to think about how it will feel to be driving in unfamiliar areas. The street I was on was a mystery to me three years ago, and now I know it intimately. I told myself that when I find myself in a new place in a strange area, I can tell myself (talk to myself a lot I know) that it is FAMILIAR to a lot of other people. And therefore, "Safe". After this test that tells me that I am making plans to take my "close to home" feeling to any new place.

A few of the women in this group have shared their relocation stories here, and I find hope in them. Some are even in my age range! .. And the older I get the less daring I am. It has worked out for many of you. Hasn't it?

I, too, answered boat, and the description does fit me, somewhat. Starting in my late teens, I've pushed myself to do things I knew I needed to do in order to grow. I grew up in the same house all my life, and it was daunting for me to go away to college, but I did it because I knew I needed to experience life away from home. For my first job after college, I relocated about 3 1/2 hours away from family (though I wasn't completely alone because my husband -- then boyfriend -- joined me after completing his final semester at college). If it feels right to relocate (despite the quivery nervous feeling of leaving the familiar) -- I'd say go for it! :)

Re. my childhood house -- after 30 years, my mom has sold it and moved on to a new house in a different state that she built with my stepfather. I said goodbye to my childhood home many years ago, so while I think of it fondly, I don't long for it because I severed ties so long ago (it was more difficult for my younger sister to let go, as she was in college at the time and still somewhat attached to "home"). My mother's new house is awesome -- a Victorian-style house in the middle of the woods -- I enjoy any opportunity I get to go up!

I wish you well, in whatever path you ultimately choose. :)

Maybe I took the question too seriously?

Relocating is an unsettling idea for me, but I would really like the adventure. And I've been in this friggin' town my whole life. Arg. :)
Just kidding,somewhat.

But, that's just one more quality that adds to a home bound situation. I don't think it matters what reasoning we use. I've moved A LOT in my life. When I was a child, I hated it. I really want to get to ONE PLACE and be satisfied to stay there forever. I thought this would be it, but circumstances are not giving me that "place".

I read that your dh applied for a club(s) in Las Vegas. I lived there four years, and that is one of the places I am considering. It is a unique "culture", lots of distrust, but the climate is wonderful. People do tend to get valley fever though. I missed thunderstorms and sunsets.

in small planes. If they'd said a 737+ versus a small boat, I would have gone for the plane.

But regardless of the reason, I guess I'm with the little boat people. :shrug:

has actually appealed to me for a long time. It would be in the wide open ocean, so I guess that's a bit more daring than just a little boat people :D

I can "live" on a boat, but not on a plane. I had always thought it would be cool to live on a houseboat and besides, I have the parrot already to live "pirate style", aye matey.

Then again, it would also be appealing (if gas wasn't so damned expensive) to live in a motor home and go around the country meeting new people. I would love to go to archeological digs and explore our great country....at least for a part of the year.

As for planes, they scare me. A friend took me up once and had me flying the damn thing until he thought he would play cute and stall the thing in mid-air. I was only 18, but that did it for me for keeps.

Because I lived on one before for a couple of months and could see doing it again (although I'd have to get rid of 90% of my stuff and my teenager as well LOL).

It just seems more practical than a plane.

If I owned an airplane it would be a corporate jet with pilots, and I would lease it out most of the time. But a small plane private plane? No way.

I love the water--I answered boat and I am sticking to it. A lot of the people that answered plane are probably the ones that we have to thank for selling people mortgages they couldn't afford. Think about it. Their $$$ goals are so high that they fail to act in an ethical manner.

A lot of these self help guru types concentrate so much on material wealth. Why not a question like--

"In order to further your spiritual path, you decide to a. join the largest megachurch in the county, or b. buy some crystals and join a meditation class."

my first thought was where could you go with a boat? You're pretty limited. (Plus, I hate boats. :))

I don't consider myself much of a risk-taker (I'm a cappy), but then again, I often compare myself to my mom (a sag).
