So what drives you in life?
Tryed a pretty good test a few days ago at OkCupied.
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/13138659428652229713/-WHAT-DRIVES-YOU
It's basicly a simple test that try to messure what drives you in your life.
Remember you have to be loged in to take the test, if you don't want to make an account there thats just as fine, i've quoted what it say about the 4 diffrent drive types:
Accomplishment, Love, Aknowledgement or Safety
Remember you could be a mix of diffrent types.
Don't panic, it's actually a GOOD thing. Why? because it actually means you're more balanced and as a reward you get to read more categories here :)
ACCOMPLISHMENT
What drives you in life is the NEED for ACCOMPLISHMENT.
You appear to have an insatiable taste for success. Most of the time you're very stimulated, both socially and professionally. You succeed where others wouldn't even dare to try anything.
You accomplish a lot of things because you dare! You are both courageous and intuitive.
For you, the most important thing is to believe in something yourself. Problem is, sometimes you're too much of a 'believer' and you get yourself caught up in your dreams for success or ideal love.
Tips: the key to a better self lies in thinking before acting. Your self-confidence and impatience result in taking too many risks. Try to learn to be patient and careful ,take risks only when they appear to be the best solution for the given situation.Don't rush things too much!
People who fall into this category are usually stubborn.But stubbornness combined with determination and self-assurance can be a tricky mix. Remember, from time to time, to pause and question your motives. Sometimes when we're too focused we continue running ahead and we lose track of important things.Re-evaluate yourself occasionally.
LOVE
What drives you in life is the NEED for LOVE.
Is it maybe because your parents were too indifferent? Did you have a lonely childhood? Or maybe a big emotional deception?
In any case, today what matters the most for you is LOVE.Ah,l'Amour! In order to feel fulfilled and alive you need "to love and be loved".For Love you could do anything: change your hairstyle, your life, leave everything and follow the one you love till the end of the world!
The DOWNSIDE is that even when someone loves you, it isn't enough!It's never enough for you is it?!
Tips: Love isn't necessarily romantic love. Learn to appreciate Love in a more general way. Your shouldn't keep your love just for your partner, but also your family, friends or simply other people in need.
You tend to give yourself to your partners a 100%(body & soul) and you end up scaring them off(you give too much because secretly you expect the same in return, it's called SENTIMENTAL BLACKMAIL).
Ask yourself why you give so much? (Come on, be honest with yourself.)Say it out loud! You WANT to be Loved, and you want it badly! But are you really sure if you know WHAT you WANT and what you NEED? Note there's a difference, and YES, it's important).
If you learn to love without expecting anything in return, you'll be always pleasantly surprised.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
What drives you in life is the need for ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Is it because you're too shy or quite the opposite, very self-assured and self-centered?
In any case, you do everything to distinguish yourself in one way or another.
UPSIDE IS: you're very sociable and extroverted, you're probably charismatic, you know how to please, seduce (and not just physically).
DOWNSIDE IS: you feel pretty down when you're isolated or when your merits aren't acknowledged as they should be. Thing is, you're too sensitive to what others think of you or might say about you and it has an important influence on the way you live your life. (Are you sure it's your life?)
Tips: most of us need to be acknowledged for our qualities and merits, to be noticed and appreciated. But remember that the people around us don't live their lives just for the sake of observing us and judging us. Sure it happens occasionally, especially if you live in a small hell-hole, but so do the people around you, and the best way to make them miserable is by proving them how 'free' you are :) - that was a joke (or was it?!).
Point being, time flies and we probably have one life, shouldn't you spend it in a way that is the most enjoyable for you? DOES it really matter what your neighbors think of your sex life? your job? your shitty car? Remember (and remind those who don't), ACCEPTANCE is the key, people who love you should accept you for what you are, and if they try to project their wishes on you, remind them that happiness is a different thing for each of us.
Start doing things that suit you, not the audience.
SAFETY
What drives you in life is the NEED for SAFETY.
You are probably the kind of person who gave up on their childhood dreams, your first ambitions...Today, you have a certain number of achievements in your personal life and in your career. You're quite happy with those, and you try to keep them without 'shaking' things too much.
Of course, this has it's advantages. You live in your own little world where all the possibilities of defeat are limited and where you don't risk getting hurt.
Bad surprises don't occur in your life very often. BUT neither do great moments of joy or excitement. You don't even know how much you're missing out on because of your lack of curiosity!!!
Tips: Happiness isn't achieved by avoiding sadness or suffering.You have to get out there and move, take some risks and above all do not refuse CHANGE!
Even better, you should be the one to initiate those changes!
Life is constantly offering us a multitude of opportunities to do better, to improve our situation and our life.
