disgust and what am i like

Psychological Testing

The disgust test was very interesting because it showed that I am disgusted by dirt and by things that look dirty or diseased, which the test said is perfectly normal. The dirtier something looked on this test, the more I was disgusted by it, or by things that looked diseased, like the gums and the burn on the arm. They were medical condition, but they looked absolutely disgusting, and I know I would not touch them even if I had to. The test said that something that looks like it could be a disease threat should be disgusting, and those things were very disgusting to me. I did not like the bugs, either.

Some of the items in the test were not disgusting at all to me. The results said that they did not pose a disease threat, and I have to agree with that. However, I did not agree with all the results or the results. For example, there was a bowl of blue water. I did not want to touch it, because it reminded me of the water in the toilets on airplanes. The results said it probably did not have any "harmful bugs," but I think that I did not want to touch it anyway. I understand the point they were making, but I thought this picture could have been replaced with something else that did not look like it came out of a toilet.

It was interesting that the test looked at people and situations as well as items to touch. I don't think anyone would want to touch bugs, but standing next to people was interesting. I did not think the person looked sick, more like they had bad skin or something, so I don't think those pictures were totally clear. The crowded subway was interesting, because you may not like a situation such as that, but when you have to go somewhere, what can you do? You have to put up with situations like that, no matter how disgusting you think they are. I would not like riding on that train, but I would do it if I had to.

This test showed I am a strategist, and I agree with that. I am intellectually curious and quiet. I enjoyed taking this test, and learning more about myself, which seems to bear that out, because I do like learning new things, and I am considered quite and low-key by most of my friends, I think. I know that I do not get bothered by many things; instead, I try to work them out or look for a logical solution to them. I am also very logical, like that. I have had friends ask me about their decisions because they know I will look at the problem from all sides before I think of a solution, and I will talk them through different scenarios so they can look at all sides of the issue, as well. I like logical thinking, and do not enjoy having scattered thoughts. I do think I'm bright, and an individual, as well.

With all of that said, the test also showed that I am impractical, and that is true, too. I sometimes put things off until the last minute, and I cannot say how many times I end up shopping at midnight because I have forgotten to do it and there is no food in the house. I forget to pay bills, to, which can be very costly! I do not necessarily like that part of my personality, and I would like to change it if I can. I am working on being more practical, just because it will make my life a little easier.
