Here's a test I took, that postel posted:

Here are my results:
Your Existing Situation
Works well in cooperation with others but is disinclined to take the leading role [eh, Whorlpool?]. Needs a personal life of mutual understanding and freedom from discord [eh, Anarchists?].
Your Stress Sources [very true]
Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels that he is receiving less than his share and that there is no one on whom he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make him quick to take offense, but he realizes that he has to make the best of things as they are.
Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation. [This one is true, but I've been taking the "cut off" option.]
Your Desired Objective
Needs a change in his circumstances or in his relationships which will permit relief from stress. [Desperately] Seeking a solution [relationship] which will open up new and better possibilities and allow hopes to be fulfilled.
Your Actual Problem
Feels insufficiently valued in his existing situation [a little bit], and is seeking [not really seeking] different conditions in which he will have greater opportunity of demonstrating his worth.
It isn't perfect., but it's pretty damn good. I noticed that one of the paragraphs matched one of postel's.
Thanks, postel!
