Self-talk colors our thinking, and can affect our reactions to people, events and life in general. It can also affect how we see ourselves, how stressed we are and how we deal with problems.

Just a fun post. One of those quiz things. I have a new name for them: “pocket psychology”. You take the quiz for five minutes, and voila, they give you back your psychological profile in a flash. Well, you’re supposed to take everything tongue-in-cheek.
But having said that, I still felt good after reading the profile this particular quiz gave me.

The Keys to Your Heart

When I was in college, I was brought to the hospital for a “fever of unknown origin” which sounded reaaallly bad but was really just a case of hybrid fever.

Such a dreamer! Even when you’re stuck in a rut, you still reach for the stars. Happy-go-lucky and trusting you may be, but silly you’re not — you’ve definitely got a practical side. And no matter what the future holds for you, we know you’ll have fun along the way!
