Whats Behind your emotions? - test result

2006-05-14T13:09:00.000+05:30

Your strongest belief is
Honesty

Now that you know that Honesty is one of your core convictions, let's take a look at how that value influences your emotional landscape — the way you experience the 8 key emotions, and how intensely you feel them.

As you read your report, know this: Experts agree it's healthy to experience a full range of emotions. Some, such as happiness, are pleasant to experience. Others, like anger, may make you feel uncomfortable. Just remember that even emotions that might not feel good (like anger or sadness) may still be good for you. To avoid a certain feeling, you might try harder to avoid getting into a similar position in the future — thereby sparing yourself those bad feelings again. Overall, emotions can serve as a means of expression as well as tools for self-protection and motivation. Here's what yours say about you.

Emotional Landscape
Happiness
Peace
Happiness
Elation
Happiness is an incredibly powerful and positive emotion. Most of us would agree that we'd like to have as much happiness in our lives as possible. Tickle's research has shown that the experience of happiness is strongly linked to feeling competent. When you feel like you can aptly handle what life sends your way, you're more likely to feel the exhilaration of happiness. A sense of connection and belonging is also closely related to your capacity for happiness.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience happiness at a moderate intensity. When something really good happens in your life, you like to revel in your happiness. While some may be more inclined to jump for happiness or meditate in a state of serenity and calm, you most often feel a more balanced and even-keeled happiness. Your feelings of delight are nourishing to both yourself and those you share them with.

Respect
Appreciation
Respect
Admiration
The capacity for respect is the gateway to a deeply fulfilling life. Respect in ourselves and others involves taking risks and being able to bounce back if those risks don't pay off. Tickle's research has shown that the ability to respect is strongly linked with a bounty of positive attributes, particularly a sense of self-reliance. When we can count on ourselves, it feels safer to give our respect and our faith to others. A high sense of self-worth is also closely related to your ability to feel genuine respect.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience respect at a low intensity. When you place your respect in others, it means you've identified them as someone you value and approve of. Some people may think of respect as revering another person without reservation, but when you respect another person you tend to base it solely on your individual interactions with that person. Your tendency is to allow people the opportunity to earn your respect through positive proof of their character. For you, it may be liberating to allow yourself to dispense respect more freely, imagining that humans are generally good in nature.

Fear
Worry
Fear
Panic
We tend to think of fear as an emotion that needs to be overcome. However, sometimes fear serves to keep us safe from potential dangers. In moderation and good proportion, fear is a useful ally. That said, Tickle's research has indicated that the more self-reliant an individual feels, the less fear they tend to experience. Taking good care of yourself and your needs can greatly diminish feelings of fear.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience fear at a moderate intensity. When something frightens you, such as a dark alleyway or an upcoming test, you may find that you experience a sense of agitation. In situations where some people feel terrified, and others feel slightly uneasy, you tend to feel something in between. You are likely to be good at listening to your fears and using them as a safety gauge. On the rare occasion when you feel pestered by an irrational fear, you may want to consider employing some relaxation techniques.

Sadness
Brooding
Sadness
Despair
Sadness can creep up for seemingly no reason, like on cloudy days when we find ourselves feeling a little down. It can also be overwhelming in the form of grief, such as when we lose a loved one. It's painful to feel deep sadness, but it's an inevitable part of life. Allowing ourselves to experience our sadness gives us the full range of the human experience — without sadness, how can we truly understand the emotions of happiness or eager expectancy? Yet when left unchecked, sadness can start to take over and color our view of ourselves and those around us. Tickle's research shows that feeling loved and connected to others can help alleviate feelings of sadness. Thus, a great antidote for the blues is an evening spent with a caring friend or family member.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience sadness at a low intensity. When you get into a funk, you're likely to feel only a little moody or blue. You rarely feel the full intensity of grief, which means that you're much less likely than others to get stuck in a miserable or inconsolable state. You're probably good at soothing yourself and picking yourself up after a short period of feeling down. Your day-to-day emotional life likely flows more smoothly than others', however it may be more difficult for you to delve into your deepest and most painful emotions during challenging experiences. During those hard times, it may be important for you to set aside time for self-reflection so you can begin to experience at least the edge of that deeper sadness.

Wonderment
Shock
Wonderment
Interest
On occasion, it's fun to be filled with wonder, to be surprised. For example, it feels good to come home to discover that our household chores have already been done, to find out we're getting a bonus at work, or to hear unexpected good news. However, Tickle's research has indicated that feelings of wonderment can also leave us feeling unsettled. Being filled with wonder means we're taken off-guard, and as a result we may feel less able to access our personal resources of power. Feeling surprised in this way can also cause us to be less flexible, since being startled, by its very nature, makes us feel less in control. Deepening our connections to others can help us to feel more grounded and less prone to this kind of upset when things happen that we weren't expecting.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience wonderment at a high intensity. When something surprises you, you tend to be stunned for a long time. Unexpected news, such as a significant promotion at work, impacts people in different ways. Some people tend to feel mildly upset or alarmed, but you're more likely to feel shocked. If the intensity of your wonderment throws you off, it may be helpful for you to pay extra attention to the thoughts and concerns of those around you, as this may give you a heads up about things that would otherwise escape your attention.

Hostility
Disinterest
Hostility
Hatred
Hostility can take the form of utter lack of interest or complete hatred. There are plenty of times when some degree of hostility is warranted. We may feel weary after our fifth unpleasant blind date in a row or offended when someone treats us with disrespect. When a person does something heinous, such as assault an innocent stranger, it's not unreasonable to feel something more akin to loathing. That said, hostility and hostility can also be unwarranted; expressing scorn just because someone is driving more slowly than you think they should can wear on you and spread negativity to others. Tickle's research has shown that compassion is the natural antidote to hostility.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience hostility at a moderate intensity. When someone makes an inappropriate comment, for instance, you're more likely to feel appropriately offended, instead of blowing it out of proportion, or excusing it entirely. Your feelings of hostility can be used as a gauge to identify behavior that is offensive or inappropriate, and they can motivate you to take action against such behavior. When misplaced, though, feelings of dislike and repulsion can alienate others and sometimes poison you. Engaging in empathetic feelings for yourself and others is a good way of defusing hostility when it seems inappropriate.

Anger
Irritation
Anger
Fury
Anger is perhaps the most controversial and confusing of emotions. When left unchecked, anger can spin out of control and cause us to behave in destructive or hurtful ways. When ignored, it can fester inside and overpower our other more positive emotions. Yet the experience of anger is also healthy and beneficial. Tickle's research has revealed that the healthy expression of anger is linked to feelings of self-reliance. Anger can help us to gauge when we are being treated fairly and when we need to speak up for ourselves. When anger starts to feel overwhelming, it can help to work on being flexible with ourselves and others.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience anger at a low intensity. When you're wronged, you're unlikely to feel enraged or even angry. You tend to experience your anger as irritation or annoyance. Because you aren't quick to anger, you're easy to get along with and people appreciate your flexibility. However, there are times when feeling anger at a higher intensity is healthy and appropriate. It may be helpful for you to engage in a daily meditation practice, which can help you get in touch with any dormant feelings. Gaining access to your anger when you need it can help to ensure that you're your own best advocate in life.

Expectancy
Curiosity
Expectancy
Yearning
Expectancy is the emotion that has us thinking of our futures. Our curiosity will always keep us exploring new topics and pursuing new relationships. It's hope that drives us to pursue our goals. It's eagerness that drives us to look forward and build today what we can enjoy tomorrow. Tickle's research has shown that expectancy is linked with feeling a high degree of personal power. We allow ourselves to hope because we believe that to some extent we can do something to make our dreams a reality. Expectancy comes easiest when we feel secure in ourselves and safe in our world. In addition, the more open-minded we feel, the easier it can be to luxuriate in our excitement about the future.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience expectancy at a moderate intensity. For instance, when planning your vacation or getting ready to start something new, you're likely to spend a lot of time preparing. Looking forward to things can add spice to life, and being able to feel that excitement means you don't tend to prepare for the worst or hold back on your eagerness. This enthusiasm adds thrill to your life, and others find your good feelings contagious. The downside to your levels of expectancy is that sometimes you may feel disappointed or let down when things go wrong, and you may find it difficult to be 'in the moment' when you're focusing on something that hasn't yet happened. Making sure to balance your expectations for the future with an appreciation for what you already have is important for your emotional balance and well-being.

More on your Belief system
As you already know, the emotions discussed above, and how you experience them, stem from your core belief in Honesty. Your Honesty directly affects how you scored on the emotions scales, as well as how you experience the key emotions in life. Think of your belief as a lens through which you view the world, and then read below to find out what it means about your approach to life. Then go back and look at your results on the emotions scales and you may begin to understand why you scored the way you did.

Your strongest belief is honesty. 48% of test takers also hold honesty as an important value in life.

Because of your uncompromisingly honest nature, you generally feel most fulfilled when you can fully share your thoughts and feelings, good or bad.

People likely come to you when they need a forthright opinion because they know you are brave enough to tell your version of the truth, and you enjoy being around people who are forthcoming with their thoughts and opinions as well. Those around you have come to expect that you will generally "tell it like it is." You may feel that any untruth, even a little white lie, will lead to more harm than good. Your emotional intolerance for dishonesty — in yourself and others — makes you a highly trustworthy person.

Here's an example to illustrate what we mean: Juliet's strongest belief is also honesty. It's not hard to imagine that when her co-worker let her in on his plan to skim money off the top of their company's profits, she was pretty shocked. As his motivation, he cited their employer's recent reduction in benefits and the fact that they hadn't received a raise in three years, but none of his justifications swayed Juliet. Because she has such a deep belief in the value of honesty, all of her emotions about the experience were heightened. She was appalled by her co-worker's inferior ethics, but she didn't want to turn him in, especially since she knew he had a family to help support. Instead, she reminded him that their employer had made many of the cutbacks as a strategy to avoid laying anyone off during the dry spell. And because she felt that it compromised her honesty to be in any way a part of the money-skimming plan — even by just knowing about it and letting it happen — she then informed her co-worker that if he went ahead with it, she'd have no choice but to expose the discrepancies in the books. Juliet felt comfortable with her approach because she was putting the decision back in her co-worker's hands and informing him of the consequences ahead of time, which she felt was the most honest way to manage the situation.

Enthusiastic: You scored 4 out of 10 on our Enthusiastic scale. Enthusiastic in this context means you're inspired by, and seek to connect with other people. You are relatively good at navigating social situations and tend to see people's differences as interesting instead of problematic.

While everyone possesses shades of each of the 7 secrets to success, most people can attribute their achievement in life thus far to a couple of them. The scales on which you scored the highest map to the secrets that you have already tapped into. They are known as your primary and secondary success strengths.

Your primary strength is being Self Sufficient:

Most of the time, your determination knows no bounds. At your core, you possess an unshakable belief in yourself. As a result, even when you're faced with setbacks, you are rarely discouraged from the goals that you've set. You tend to feel that doing something yourself ensures that the job is getting done the right way.

Being independent and doing things on your own is an admirable quality. More than most people, you can set goals for yourself and be your own coach and motivator. As a result, employers can feel at ease when they give you a project. They know that they won't have to be looking over your shoulder to see that it's completed. Your self-sufficiency also means that you don't need constant approval from others to know how you're doing. When it comes to evaluating your work, you're usually both your own best cheerleader and toughest critic. Being this way is great, but be sure to not miss out on working with others. Collaborating with a group or depending on co-workers is not a bad thing. In fact, there can be a unique satisfaction in working with a team to achieve or create something. Just being able to share the ups and downs of the process can make work more enjoyable. Developing bonds with others doesn't mean that you can't be self-reliant as well.

Ever wonder how you became so self-sufficient? Perhaps you fear that others will inevitably disappoint you if you need them or will no longer be available to you in a time of crisis. We all take personal risks when we allow others into our lives and grow to depend on them. Any fear you have about connecting is natural. Yet it's a risk most people take to experience the satisfaction of relating to others. For the most part, humans are social beings. As a result, in work as in life, people don't usually succeed entirely by themselves. In fact, it's typically the people who work alongside us that can bring our careers to new heights through things like positive reviews, promotions, and mentoring.

Aside from a fear of connecting, part of your drive to be independent may also stem from not wanting to burden others. Your compassionate nature may make you want to spare people the responsibility of taking care of you. Chances are that you'd rather be responsible for them.

While this admirable quality may make you a go-to person in the workplace, don't be afraid of letting others support you as well. Developing these mutual bonds can build important trust between you and your colleagues.

Your secondary strength is being Proactive:

You are a born leader with a take-charge attitude. Unlike many people who believe problems will simply go away if you give them enough time, you're one to tackle the obstacles in your path head-on. Part of being proactive means you can aggressively anticipate the future and work to shape it according to your desires. You don't wait for things to happen; you make things happen, which is why you tend to find yourself in a position of responsibility. Also, because of your quick mind and ability to strategize, you can keep yourself two steps ahead of everyone else when it comes to executing plans or anticipating future actions. These characteristics help you rise to positions of authority where others can more fully appreciate your drive and direction.

Because you're often focused on outcomes and pursuing goals, co-workers may see you as being very assertive. You also may have the habit of moving quickly to make decisions based upon whatever information is in front of you, rather than waiting for some hypothetical information to materialize. At times, your speedy decision-making might seem like the only way to keep up with the pace of business. However, realize that when faced with a problem, it sometimes pays to sit on things for a while. Imagine a host of potential solutions. Your first instinct may be the best, but unless you examine other possibilities, you leave yourself open to making costly and inefficient decisions. In the long run, an innovative solution that takes longer to come up with might be the most practical and rewarding one for you and your business.

Ever wonder how you became so proactive? There may be deeper reasons than ambition at the core of your proactive behaviors. This trait may indicate an underlying need for control. It's good to want to be the master of your own fate. Still, needing to be in control at all times can be detrimental to you and strain your relationships with colleagues. Business often requires compromise. Not every idea can be pushed through on the fast track, particularly at the expense of others. It will pay to balance your drive to move ideas ahead with a respect for other people and their perspectives. Remember that certain events are uncontrollable. You shouldn't blame yourself or others entirely when plans go awry.

For the most part, the desire for control is a healthy one and can work to your advantage. Your particular need might also stem from a deeply rooted desire to protect and comfort those around you. You may feel that once the reins are in your hands, you'll be able to make certain that everyone is taken care of or benefits from your decisions. This inclination to support and help people can make you a strong manager and a valuable colleague. People always appreciate co-workers whose actions have positive outcomes for everyone involved.

The love personality test

2006-05-14T12:46:00.000+05:30

Krupal, your love type is:

That means you are more Introverted than Extroverted, Intuitive than Sensing, Thinking than Feeling, and more Perceiving than Judging. Understanding your combination of these traits will help you understand why you get along with some people and not others. And what types of people you should seek out for fulfilling relationships. But what do these terms really mean? And how do they affect your relationships with other people? You're about to find out.

Originally, the personality dimensions you see above were derived from the work of renowned psychologist Carl Jung. He and other psychological "typing" experts made great strides in finding out the factors that cause people to interrelate the way that they do.

In the professional world, looking at people's personality types has become standard in many corporations. Such assessments help managers find out how people work best, what types of co-workers they're apt to get along with, and what tasks they might be best suited for.

Now Tickle's experts have taken this information a step further to create a personality test to help you in all aspects of your life. Below you'll find out more about the special qualities that make you who you are and learn which of the 16 personality types you match up with best in your relationships.

The personality traits that define who you are in love

Below is a chart demonstrating all of the 16 possible love personality types. Your type was determined by looking at your scores on four standard dimensions or scales: Introversion/Extraversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving.

None of these eight traits is better or worse than any other. They all just give clues about who you are in your relationships and whom you're likely to get along with best.

16 Personality Types You are here

	ISTJ	ISFJ	ENTJ	ESTJ

	INTJ	INFJ	ENFP	ESFJ

	INTP	INFP	ENFJ	ESFP

	ISTP	ISFP	ENTP	ESTP

The most important thing to remember about the dimensions is that just because you are an Introvert doesn't mean you don't also have some Extravert characteristics. The fact that you are an Introvert simply means that you have more Introvert characteristics than Extravert ones. The same goes for the other dimensions. Therefore, when you take a look at your relationship personality type, know that you probably possess some tendencies of the other dimensions as well. It's just that more often than not, you a have a tendency to approach the world on one side of the scale than the other — as an Introvert instead of as an Extravert for example. Below is more information on each of these dimensions and how you score on each of them.

(I)ntroversion/ (E)xtraversion: This dimension describes how you approach and interact with the world and how you typically direct your energy.




Introversion		Extraversion

Most times, people simply associate introverts with being shy and extraverts with being loud. These descriptions are not entirely correct because those two qualities are only part of what determines whether someone is an introvert or an extravert. For example, typically, to an extravert, the outside world represents both excitement and opportunity. Extraverts often think and perform better in front of others. Also, because an extravert's energy is often directed outwards, extroverts like being around people most of the time. Introverts, on the other hand, usually direct their energy inwards and often need alone time to replenish their energy stores.

When it comes to communication, introverts will tend to formulate their thoughts before they speak up. Extraverts will often think and talk at the same time, saying whatever comes into their heads. This more immediate approach makes extraverts spontaneous, but it can also get them into hot water. Socially, introverts prefer more intimate settings where they have the chance to get to know fewer people on a deeper basis. Extraverts typically feel that in social situations, the more the merrier. As mentioned above — not every introvert or extravert will display every trait tied to this dimension. In fact, people are apt to display a mix of traits.

I(N)tuition/ (S)ensing: This dimension demonstrates how people tend to process information.




Intuition		Sensing

What kinds of information do you naturally notice? That's the main question this scale answers. Sensors tend to focus on concrete information. Intuitives tend to focus on possibilities. By using their five senses to gather data, sensors trust what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, or felt. By staying attuned to their five senses, sensors are also apt to focus on the present and to have great attention to detail. If you are looking for accurate information, ask a sensor.

Intuitives, on the other hand, are more imaginative types who tend to look for deeper, abstract meanings in the world around them. They do this by inferring things from the data that's in front of them. For example, when presented with information, intuitives usually enjoy pondering over implications of those facts and anticipating future consequences. Intuitives aren't often interested in details and tend to see the big picture of a situation faster than sensors.

(F)eeling/ (T)hinking: This dimension demonstrates how you make decisions.




Feeling		Thinking

The way each one of us makes decisions is influenced by whether we are primarily thinkers or feelers. Thinkers value analytical thinking and tend to be methodical and logical when evaluating their options. Thinkers pride themselves on being objective, rather than letting their subjective feelings or opinions enter into their decisions. Feelers often see thinkers as being somewhat cold. Feelers have a very different decision making process. Theirs takes into account how others will be affected alongside of the objective facts. By putting people's individual situations in the forefronts of their minds, feelers are more likely to make exceptions to rules than thinkers are. Feelers are highly empathic, and sometimes this bent can make them seem too emotional to thinkers.

(P)erceiving/ (J)udging: The last dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness.




Perceiving		Judging

The final dimension describes whether you prefer closure or openness in your life's situations. For instance, because of their high need for control, judgers like structure and order in the world around them. Judgers are typically organized people who focus on goals and accomplish what they set out to do.

On the other end of the spectrum are perceivers who usually prefer to experience the world spontaneously. Oftentimes a perceiver can't tell you their schedule from one day to the next because they don't know what's going to happen. Perceivers usually like keeping their options open and can pride themselves on adapting to whatever situation they confront. Judgers are most excited when they have finished a project. Perceivers tend to be most excited when a new endeavor begins.

Now that you know more about each of the dimensions, we can give you more information about your specific four-letter personality type. This type was derived from your answers on the Love Personality test.

Your love type

About 3-4% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.

Being an INTP means that although you may be thoughtful and quiet at times, you are also likely to be deeply ambitious. You're the kind of individual who sets personal goals for yourself and works hard to achieve them. Unlike many people with high aspirations, you aren't the kind to showboat in order to get noticed. Still, INTPs like you have a quiet intensity that most people can detect. This strength allows you to be a source of reassurance to those around you. When others are losing their cool in a crisis, you can be there to pick up the pieces. You may not always say much, but when you do speak up, you often manage to offer useful, thought-provoking insights.

In relationships, part of what often excites you is sharing your ideas about the world. You can enjoy talking over issues or helping to solve people's problems. In fact, you seem to have a real knack for problem-solving when there is a concrete solution that can be found. However you may be less eager to get involved in the gray areas of intense interpersonal problems — even when the problems are your own. This isn't because you don't care. You probably just don't want to be responsible for coming up with the "right" answer when someone else is involved. It can be a lot of pressure.

Because you're an INTP, when you are feeling social, you probably seek out a few good friends rather than hanging out in big groups of acquaintances. You're not quick to share your thoughts or feelings, especially with strangers. However, people who know you well have likely come to appreciate your well-constructed reflections on life. With your words and actions, INTPs like you can empower others and become strong, supportive partners to those you love.

What makes you a good partner and friend?

	You are warm and encouraging of others
	You know how to be sensitive to people's feelings
	You are an original and creative thinker
	You're one who is eager to try new experiences

So now that you know about your personality and the many special qualities that you possess, it's time to learn which other types you're most compatible with in life and love. You'll also find out why those types are more suited for you than the others. Ready to find out who you connect with best?

Your most compatible types
Because you're an Intuitive Thinker (NT), you can be both creative and intellectual. NTs like you are usually very in touch with your rational side. Consequently, you're apt to appreciate those who are logical and know how to put their analytical skills to work. As a result, your most compatible types are people who are Sensing Thinkers (ST). STs are great for you for a couple of reasons. For one, they're usually on par with you intellectually. They also can be good at keeping your big ideas reined in. STs are known for being sensible and for having their feet firmly on the ground. This worldly intelligence can be very attractive to you. There are four NT/ST matches for you: ESTJ, ISTJ, ESTP, ISTP.

The Religon test

2006-05-14T12:42:00.000+05:30

The religion that has the greatest affinity with your belief system is:

Your belief system is 80% compatible with Unitarian Universalist religious beliefs.

But did you know that even though Unitarian Universalists have mixed beliefs about the existence of God, they tend to share the belief that there is something to be learned from every world religion? It appears that you are also open to a wide variety of religious and spiritual ideas. By accepting differences between individual spiritual beliefs, Unitarian Universalists come together under a few broad and inclusive moral ideologies. They pass their beliefs from generation to generation through their church's literature and their teachings, both of which draw on many of the major spiritual texts from a variety of religions. Typically open-minded and intellectual, Unitarian Universalists encourage individual exploration of many different spiritual truths. They also tend to be politically liberal. It seems that you also see the importance of being open-minded and curious.

Background
Unitarian Universalism finds its roots in the lineage of two churches — Unitarian and Universalist — each of which formed during the 16th century Protestant Reformation. Unitarians rejected the Roman Catholic belief in the Trinity and instead believed God was a single entity, and more likely a great teacher than a divine force. The Universalists rejected the Roman Catholic belief in Hell and damnation and instead believed that after death all human beings would be in harmony once again with God. These extreme liberal beliefs were sustained in both churches until they merged into the Unitarian Universalist church in 1961 and established their headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. Since then, the members have come to the conclusion that it's more important to agree on how best to live in harmony on Earth than it is to have homogeneous views about God and death. As a result, there is a wide diversity of beliefs about God within the Unitarian Universalist church, ranging from agnostic to polytheist.

Is Unitarian Universalism beginning to resonate with you? Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Get specific information about Unitarian Universalist approach to god, its beliefs about the origin of the world, its take on the afterlife, and some key aspects that make the religion unique in the Core Religious Beliefs and You section below.

Unitarian Universalism

You're 80% compatible with Unitarian Universalist beliefs.

God
Unitarian Universalists have widely varying beliefs about God — from agnostic to polytheistic. As such, it is an extremely tolerant religion and welcomes diverse individual spiritual orientation and many views on the concept of God.

Origin of the World
Unitarian Universalism believes that the creation stories of all world religions are mythical — some adherents just enjoy them for their symbolism. The organization's official position on the origin of the world supports the big bang theory — that a cosmic explosion marked the beginning of the universe — and further scientific exploration.

Afterlife
Unitarian Universalist beliefs about the afterlife are as varied as their beliefs about God. For the most part, however, Unitarian Universalists do not believe that the soul is reincarnated after death. In fact, the organization's official position on the matter is disbelief in reincarnation, but a Unitarian Universalist church would not disapprove of a member's belief in reincarnation.

What makes it unique?

What sets Unitarian Universalism apart from other religions is their view on religious tolerance. The church is organized around a broad set of moral ideologies, which invites a diverse congregation that welcomes any member. Since members are actively encouraged to seek the spiritual truth that is most true for them as individuals, there is a diverse variety of ideas and this can be confusing or stimulating, depending on your perspective.

Now that you know your compatibility with the world's major religions, you need the next important ingredient, your spiritual style, or the way you like to worship. Put the two together — your beliefs and your style — and you should be able to find the best environment to express your faith. As you've seen, within each of the world's religions there's a lot of variety — from major theoretical differences between branches to more subtle differences in congregations, so it's important to be clear on what you need from a religious community.

Based on your test results, Tickle can explain where you stand on three very important spiritual style points: community (group worship or lots of alone-time), openness (level of flexibility), and political point of view (liberal or conservative).

How much community do you want in your religious community?
You tend to enjoy spending time reflecting on your spiritual beliefs in solitude. This is not to say that you wouldn't be open to joining a loose-knit community of people who are also on a similar spiritual path, you probably just don't need the kind of structure or congregation an organized religion offers.

How open do you want your religious community to be?
The religious community you become involved with will probably need to be somewhat open and accepting of other religious traditions and beliefs, and it should support your individual pursuit of spiritual truth. You're likely to be put off by the extreme contention that any single religious organization can hold the key to truth and salvation, leaving all who don't believe to suffer for eternity. Make sure you begin your search for the right community by asking the difficult questions such as, "Does this community assume its religion is the only true one?" or "Who does this community believe can ascend to Heaven, Nirvana, or Enlightenment?" If the answers fit your values and beliefs, then you're probably on the right track.

Where do you want your religious community to lean politically?
You're likely to feel that you know the black-and-white differences between good and evil. Because of this core belief, you'll probably want to find a community of people who share your value systemand strive to do the right thing. You also tend to believe that your religious organization should be there to offer clear guidance on your individual lifestyle and your major life choices. Make these important distinctions when choosing a religious community, so that you're sure to find a congregation that's at least somewhat aligned with your political views.

The Zodiac match test report

Krupal, in addition to knowing that your strongest zodiac match is Leo, we've also generated a personalized Zodiac Match chart for you. This chart is custom-made based on your answers to the Zodiac Match test responses, and guides you to the astrological signs that are best suited to you, and shows you where you may encounter difficulties with less compatible signs.

The chart is color-coded to help you identify different levels of compatibility between you and the 12 zodiac signs.

Look for the GREEN wedges in your chart. People with those signs are your surest matches. A relationship with one of your green signs is apt to be more smooth and easy from the get-go. You're also likely to find greater long-term comfort and compatibility with a green match.

If you've got your heart set on someone whose sign is shaded in YELLOW, never fear — these matches can suit you, too. It just may take a bit more effort on your part. By paying special attention to the advice below regarding potentially problem areas, you can learn some great ways to avoid typical pitfalls with your yellow signs. If you proceed with a little caution and are willing to do the work, in the end your romance with a yellow could be just as satisfying as any pairing with a green.

But if a RED has captured your attention, watch out. There are signs that such a relationship might not be the best for you. Over time, pursuing a pairing with a red may end up feeling more like work than fun. But if you're unswayed by this warning, you'll do best to study your partner's sign in depth. That way you can be prepared for the differences between you and better understand the kinds of conflicts you're likely to encounter.

The memory test result

2006-05-14T12:30:00.000+05:30

Krupal, you remembered 72% of the information in the Memory Test.

But research shows there's a lot you can do to improve your memory. And if you do, it can help you function in more ways than you'd think. There are 6 main types of memory which help us interpret and store different types of information. You scored highest in object.

That kind of memory allows you to visualize how an object will fit in, or move through space, and where it will ultimately end up. This skill is particularly useful when you're playing sports or packing a lot of objects into a small space. With your strength in this area, you're probably able to visualize where an in-flight ball will land and are likely quite good at completing jigsaw puzzles.

While this area of memory is your strongest, it's your overall memory power that allows you to recall all of the various kinds of information available to you. On this test, Tickle measured your skills in 6 types of memory which, when taken together, resulted in your overall memory score.
