Thank you my dear @abigail-dantes for taking the time to reply my questions <3 , it was a great help, I will indeed take the test, i'm on a journey to fully comprehend myself and I will let you know if I have any question ! Have a good day

@abigail-dantes, I did the test and it was surprisingly very accurate! Now i understand a little bit more who am I, I want to be a better version of myself Do you recommend any useful source (Book/Site/ PDF ) ??

@fancybrothers, I am impressed!! What I always suggest for those, like you, who follow this through is to, first of all, pay attention to those aspects that are most extreme. For example, the dimensions which you rated either really high, or really low. Then, tackle each one of them at a time, to begin with.

Regardless of what extreme people find themselves in, I always recommend them to have a mininum knowledge of mindfulness. Just in case you are completely unfamiliar with it, if you feel like it, just take a read at this post I wrote a while back.

This is not a psychological approach per se, or much less a religious belief. It is a philosophy; or, rather, as I prefer to define, it is a life style which mostly address issues of sadness and anxiety in a very non-biased way.

Let me just say how much a respect you for doing this. If only, all young man (especially those in your field) did this; so much emotional distress could be avoided in people's lives. And, if not entirely avoided, this attitude of yours will just equip you with high levels of emotional stability and emotional well-being. What you're doing, seeking deeper levels of self-understanding, just enables you to enjoy overall psychological stability. It is the equivalent of adopting measures in order to obtain physical health.

Only that people normally forget to take care of their mental health!

There are two books that comes to mind: it is the psychology evidence based work of Kelly McGonigal's The Willpower Instinct - she is a health neuropsychologist and Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. They offer great insights into our nature.

I hope this helps :)
ps I: isn't psychology beautiful?

Do keep in touch if you need more guidance :)
