You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you’re apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you’re a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn’t mean you’re a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

Rate yourself on the following items on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the low and 5 high). This exercise aims at fact-finding and not fault-finding, and is intended to help you focus on areas for self-improvement.

1. I stay relaxed and composed under pressure - 4

2. I can identify negative feelings without becoming distressed - 4

3. I stay focused (not lost in unimportant details) in getting a job done - 4

4. I freely admit to making mistakes - 3

5. I am sensitive to other people’s emotions and moods - 4

6. I can conceive feedback or criticism without becoming defensive - 4

7. I calm myself quickly when I get angry or upset - 3
