SELF-KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONNAIRE.
RATIONALITY. you like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. this can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.
AGGRESSION. one part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. one way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. but you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focussed way, with honour.
PLAYFULNESS. you are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. the downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. so it is well complemented by its opposite, stoicism.
