Chapter 1: Introduction
Mak
The interpretation of your astrology chart begins on the following page.
You will find that the interpretation of your chart is written in simple language, uncluttered by
astrological jargon. If a statement appears to contradict another statement, then you exhibit these
opposite qualities at different times in your life. For example, a statement that you are highly sociable
and gregarious and a statement that you prefer solitude seemingly contradict each other; this means that
you vacillate, and need both sociability and solitude at different times.
The astrological factor that the interpretation is based on is also given. The astrological factor is given
for the benefit of astrologers and students of astrology. If you are not a student of astrology, then
obviously the factor will not be meaningful to you, and you can ignore it.
If you find this interpretation of your birth chart interesting and informative, you might want to discuss
your birth chart with a professional astrologer to learn more about the astrological influences on your
life.

Chapter 2: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
The following is a description of your basic stance towards life, the way others see you, the way you
come across, the face you show to the world. In Chapter 3 you will read about the \"The Inner You:
Your Real Motivation\", which describes the kind of person you are at heart and where your true
priorities lie. Read this chapter and the next one and compare them - there may be significant
differences between them, in which case \"the inner you\" may not shine through and others are in for
some surprises when they get to know you at a more than superficial level. This chapter describes the
costume you wear, your role in life, while Chapter 3 talks about the real person inside the costume.
You are a gentle, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people and a very tolerant, accepting,
nonjudgmental approach towards life. In a noisy, competitive atmosphere you are often receding and
withdrawn for you are not an aggressive, forceful person, and you intensely dislike conflict. In fact you
tend to be somewhat passive, to wait, watch, observe, feel and know much - but to act little. Letting
things resolve or work themselves out in their own way, rather than directing or forcing your will upon
them, is often your way of dealing with problems.
You may have a deeply religious or spiritual feeling about life, not in the orthodox sense necessarily,
but an intuitive sense of the immensity and underlying oneness of all life, which makes so many human
aspirations and striving seem rather unimportant. You need peaceful surroundings in order to flourish,
and periods of quiet solitude are essential for your emotional balance and well-being.
You are also very compassionate and cannot tolerate seeing any fellow creature suffer - be it human,
animal, or even plant! As a child you probably cried very easily and became quite upset whenever
others were hurt, physically or emotionally. The world of your imagination and fantasy was also very
real to you, a place to escape to when the outer world became too harsh, demanding, or simply
uninteresting.
Because you are very giving and forgiving, people in need gravitate to you, sensing your sympathetic
nature. Often you will continue to give to a person even when you realize they are taking advantage of
you or becoming overly dependent upon you. You overlook and make excuses for other people's
weaknesses, and for your own as well. Discrimination and self-discipline are not your strong points.
Though you may be as intelligent as anyone, you do not really have a rational, logical approach toward
life, and trying to reach you through logical arguments is often futile. Your feelings, intuition, and
heart, not your head, lead you, which may infuriate or bewilder your more rational friends. You
certainly recognize that there is much more to life than can be explained intellectually and categorized
into neat little boxes, and you have an open, receptive attitude toward such areas as psychic
phenomena, telepathy, parapsychology, etc. You are not as structured and rigid in your attitudes as
many people are, which enables you to see many different points of view and to accept all of them as
valid. This can lead to vagueness, uncertainty, and confusion on your part - or to a very flexible and
holistic way of approaching any issue.
You project a feeling of broad-mindedness, generosity, and beneficence, a sense that you're someone
others should listen to and treat with respect. Because you generally make such a favorable impression
on people, many doors are open to you, and it may seem that you are somehow luckier than other
people. Mostly this is due to the confidence you emanate.
2
You are extremely sensitive to all of the incoming impressions and energies around you, and at times
you can be overcome or dominated by more forceful personalities. Learning to establish clear
boundaries is important for you, as you tend to become enmeshed 使陷入 emotionally and/or
psychically with whoever you are with. You may have the chameleon's trait of seeming to become the
people or person you are with the most.
There is a certain depth and intensity about you that may be threatening to others. No matter how
gentle or unassuming you may be on the surface, you are also a force to be reckoned 認為,with. You
have causes, passions, or desires that drive you and when one of these is aroused you are quite zealous
in your pursuit or defense of it.
You radiate a sense of pride, self-assurance, and a definite awareness of your own importance. It is
hard to ignore you when you are present, and your personality may overshadow or dominate the scene.
3
Chapter 3:The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Behind your rather soft, gentle, unaggressive appearance (as described in the previous chapter), you are
passionate and strong-willed. And while you may seem to be very tolerant and forgiving, deep inside
you do not readily forget an injury. There is much more bite to you than is initially apparent.
Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, you are not a person who is easy to get to
know and understand. You are extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and you allow only a
special few into your inner world. Like a wary animal, you are cautious and mistrustful of those you do
not know until you \"sniff them out\". You are very, very instinctive and intuitive. You usually have a
strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though you may be unable to clearly articulate why you
feel as you do. Your feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.
You also have a powerful need for deep emotional involvement and you form very intense love bonds
and attachments. You are possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that you perceive as a
threat to your bond with someone you love. When you commit yourself to someone or something, you
are wholeheartedly devoted and expect complete loyalty in return. You merge with or \"marry\" the
person you love at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for you, and often
stormy and nasty. When you have been wounded, you are not inclined to turn the other cheek and will
retaliate if at all possible. Certainly you will never forget the injury and often you harbor grievances
and resentments for a long, long time. Forgiveness doesn't come easily to you.
Whatever you do, you do with passion and fervor, and you often go to extremes. You are either hot or
cold, never lukewarm about anything. You can also be very narrow: either you are 100% involved in
something or else it doesn't exist for you at all. Rarely are you emotionally detached and objective. You
definitely have a fanatical streak. You are also immensely strong-willed and your tenacity in pursuing
your objectives often borders on being obsessive. Fierce pride, courage, and emotional strength are
yours in abundance.
You love mysteries and are deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. You never take
things at face value and are always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover
what is REALLY going on. You tend to be more of a cynic than an idealist.
You crave intense experiences and are attracted to aspects of life that are strange, unfathomable, or
taboo. You may hide your interests or inclinations, except from those who know you very intimately.
You are rarely content with yourself and your life, and you have an inner urge to be continually going
farther or deeper than you ever have before. You also have a strong interest in social power and the role
that money and economics play in people's lives.
You are creative and talented, but must develop self-discipline to channel your energies productively.
You may feel that everything is going to be all right, that you cannot lose and may take risks by
gambling or speculating, which could result in disappointments.
4
You are inclined to feel uncomfortable or restrained in some way in the presence of others and prefer to
be alone. You are modest and shy in your approach to others and tend to accept more responsibility
than you really need to.
You may be a bit high-strung 易激動 and over-zealous in the pursuit of your endeavors. You always
seem to be in a hurry and have the ability to evaluate situations quickly. You have a brilliant mind and
possibly could invent something.

Chapter 4: Mental Interests and Abilities
You have good mental concentration and the ability to become completely immersed in your work.
You seem to know things at an instinctive, nonverbal level and prefer learning through direct
experience or apprenticeship rather than vicariously via books or lectures. You have mechanical ability
and work well with your hands. You could become adept at sculpture, pottery, carpentry, stained glass,
or anything that involves doing and making things manually. Biology (and related fields such as
medicine) interests you as well. You also have an instinctive rapport with animals, and may feel you
relate better to them than to people! You tend to become narrowly focused upon your own specialized
interests and may not have much to say or communicate outside that field.
You have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and wisdom and for an ever broadening understanding
of life. You are the perpetual student and will be involved in higher education, philosophy, or religion.
Law, broadcasting, publishing, or the field of communications are also areas that interest you. World
travel and studying other cultures are also strong urges of yours.
You have a deep, serious turn of mind, and when out of balance, you tend toward pessimism, cynicism,
and overly rigid or judgmental thinking. These are tendencies you may have to work to counteract, by
choosing to focus on the humor in a situation, associating with cheerful, positive-minded people, and
so on. Being around children can sometimes alter and lighten up your mental outlook considerably.
Duty, obligation, \"should\", and \"ought to\" may color your thinking too much.

Chapter 5: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
You do not appear to be an intensely emotional or sentimental person, and you are often unaware of
your own or other people's deeper feelings and emotional needs. Tears and tantrums bewilder you and
make you very uncomfortable. You would rather settle differences by talking things out reasonably and
rationally, but you tend to ignore or poke fun at any attempt to probe your own or others' inner depths.
You avoid heavy, demanding emotional involvement and are wary of making personal commitments.
You need plenty of mental stimulation and you feel close to people with whom you can share thoughts
and mental interests. Conversation is very important to you. The strong, silent type of partner is not for
you.
You often make decisions solely for emotional or personal reasons, because something \"feels right\" or
because you've always done it a certain way and you are uncomfortable changing it. Even when you
think you're being rational, your prejudices, intuitions, and feelings influence your thoughts a great
deal. You are comfortable talking about feelings and personal subjects, and sharing confidences, which
enables others to express their own inner feelings with you as well. You have good psychological
insight into others.
You are assertive and confront difficulties in a direct, no-nonsense sort of way. You cannot tolerate
self-pity or passivity, and you can be rather brusque 直 率 with others' emotional problems. \"Stop
crying and DO something about it\" might be your motto.
You are quietly devoted and faithful to your loved ones, and often become a kind of servant to your
love partner. You are more comfortable showing love for someone by doing something for them,
making something for them, or simply being there for them -rather than telling them so in a romantic,
soul-stirring sort of way. You are timid about expressing too much sentiment or emotion. You also
underestimate your attractiveness and lovability and doubt your own worthiness to receive love and
appreciation.
You are a very personable, affectionate, loving friend and will always have many people in your life
who love and cherish you. You prefer being with others rather than on your own, and you feel very
incomplete without a special person in your life to share your love with. Being half of a close, loving
couple is very important to you.
You are a peacemaker, the one who adapts, harmonizes, and makes concessions for the sake of the
relationship. Your charm and agreeableness makes you very popular.
You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with
others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious 吝
嗇. Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming close to
7
people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you.
You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need
to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.
Somewhat over-enthusiastic in matters of love, you could fall in love with the wrong person. You may
be too selfless and have the illusion that your only need in a relationships is to make the other person
happy, leading to disappointments and regrets.

Chapter 6: Drive and Ambition: How You Achieve Your Goals
You seesaw between being too pushy, confrontational, and insistent on doing things your way, and
being too eager to please, without a clear, definite goal of your own. You strive for a balance between
acting independently and assertively - and working cooperatively and interdependently with others.
You may feel frustrated at times that you cannot simply do what YOU want to, that you must always
accommodate the needs and desires of others. Or you may feel hesitant to act in a positive, assertive
manner if you do not have the support and approval of other people. Either way, you are not a loner.
You achieve your goals by collaborating and joining forces with others, by being a team player. You
are very concerned with the concept of fairness and become quite indignant and vocal if you sense
someone is being taken advantage of. You avoid extremism and favor a balanced, moderate approach
to living. You are unlikely to push yourself too hard or to become fanatically driven to reach your
goals.
You are attracted to feisty 活 躍 , dynamic, strong-willed people, and you seem to need a lot of
fireworks in your personal relationships. You can be very combative, or get involved with people who
are. Ideally you will join with people who are energetic and ambitious, but not too domineering or
aggressive.
Your imagination is great and you tend to think with a purpose in mind. You are able to function
despite a degree of uncertainty that colors your actions, and you are likely to have an alternate plan
when matters don't progress the way you want them to.
Working with others seems to make you happy and you are likely to be a much sought colleague or co-
worker. You have a need to keep in contact with people and enjoy open communication with them.
An inner conflict between the desire for greater opportunities and the desire to hold on to safe and
predictable circumstances could make you somewhat discontent. You long for changes in your life, but
may lack the tenacity to bring them about.
Your nature tends to be very sensual and you may irresistibly be attracted to someone, even if you
know that he or she is bad for you. You also have a tendency toward jealousy, possessiveness and
unwillingness to grant your partners freedom to be themselves.
Patience is not one of your strong virtues and you do what needs to be done impetuously and hastily,
leading to great potential for accidents. You also have a streak of rebellion in you that could bring
disputes and arguments with those around you.
Your nature tends to be rather impatient and combative. Often subjected to circumstances beyond your
control, you frequently feel frustrated and should avoid violent encounters and dangerous activities that
could lead to accidents, if you are not careful.
9
You may have to overcome some significant handicap from your childhood or background in order to
attain your ambitions in life. You may appear unambitious, but you're apt to simply be playing your
cards close to your chest. A sense of inadequacy based on early disappointments may make you an
underachiever. However, you can accomplish a great deal if you understand the influence of the past,
and learn to give yourself the support and help which was lacking.
Maybe the most important factor in your choice of career and your success or lack of it is having a
strong home base. Family support is crucial to you, and you would not sacrifice your family for any
sort of advantage or achievement in the outside world. If you have a solid foundation and healthy
relationships with your parents, you are likely to fulfill any aspirations you have for accomplishment.
You are attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde 前衛 , and which
offer you a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not your
cup of tea. You may make your living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or
talent, and you're happiest when you can create a place in the world for your unique combination of
different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for you to try to fit yourself into a ready-made
mold.
Your profession could involve physical strength and prowess, such as athletics, fire fighting, law
enforcement, or the military. You would never be happy in a quiet, sit-down job. Vigorous competition
and strenuous work are undoubtedly key components of both what you do and how you achieve your
long-range goals.

Chapter 7: Growth and Expansion: Areas That You Enjoy
You have an innate shrewdness 精明,機靈;, and the ability to develop a clear strategy and follow it
carefully in order to reach your goals. You also have a natural sense of order, structure, and self-
discipline. You are likely to excel, both because you are ambitious and because it is very important to
you to do a professional job, no matter what field you are in, or how humble the task.
Your career or contribution to the world at large is likely to touch many people's lives in a very
positive, helpful way. You aim high and have an innate confidence and trust both in your own abilities
and in life in general, which enables you to go far. You want to do something BIG with your life, and
you attract the support you need to do so, for your aims are not solely for your own personal benefit.
You want to give something back to the world, or to improve others' lives as well as your own.
You aim high, have great vision, and are never satisfied with yourself unless you can achieve your
goals in a big way. You are very opportunistic and are always ready to capitalize on a good idea. You
utilize contacts with prominent and successful people to advantage, and are likely to win yourself an
important and lucrative position in life.

Chapter 8: Areas That Challenge You Or Are Difficult For You
You doubt your own intelligence and mental capacities, and you may work very hard at studies in order
to compensate for this. You are often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial
conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be
difficult for you.
Your childhood or your relationship with your parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways
that may prevent you from allowing other people to get close to you in later life. You felt deprived in
some manner, whether or not you actually were deprived in some way. Emotional separations or
repression of your needs and feelings may typify your early life, at least as you remember it. Forgiving
your parents and/or letting go of any resentments you have about the limitations you experienced early
in your life is crucial. Also, you need to build your own solid foundation, and investing time and
energy into your home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help you accomplish this.
You have a talent and ability for putting fresh ideas and inspiration into practice. You are ready and
willing to utilize new ideas and methods, and you have a knack for gaining acceptance for a new idea
and practically implementing it.
You have a deep, serious turn of mind, and when out of balance, you tend toward pessimism, cynicism,
and overly rigid or judgmental thinking. These are tendencies you may have to work to counteract, by
choosing to focus on the humor in a situation, associating with cheerful, positive-minded people, and
so on. Being around children can sometimes alter and lighten up your mental outlook considerably.
Duty, obligation, \"should\", and \"ought to\" may color your thinking too much.
You possess the gifts of endurance and perseverance, the willingness to work hard and seriously to
achieve your objectives. Once you decide you want something or make a commitment, you'll do it
\"even if it takes forever\". Self-discipline is natural to you and you instinctively realize that any creative
achievement is \"10% inspiration, 90% perspiration\". You choose practical, realistic goals and pursue
them step-by-step in a well-planned, orderly way. You like to concentrate on one thing at a time and do
a thorough job. You enjoy working in solitude, and often feel your best work is done when you are
alone.
You are serious and find it difficult to enjoy yourself in a lighthearted, open and playful way with
others. You rarely do something purely for pleasure, and can be very close-fisted and parsimonious.
Perhaps due to painful separations in your early life, you are very cautious about becoming close to
people and sharing your feelings. Though you crave love and affection, intimacy is difficult for you.
You may become romantically involved with people who do not value you or treat you well. You need
to learn to love and value yourself before you will find happiness in love.
You have a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that you are apt to
overdo at times. For balance, you need to develop mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal
responsibility.
12
When under stress, you have a strong instinct to retreat back into the nest, to be a child again, or to
become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, you may encourage others
to depend upon you emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. You need to learn how to set
limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

Chapter 9: Originality and Imagination Areas Where You Are Creative, Unique, Unstable, or
Compulsive
Your life is characterized by sudden disruptions and events which change the direction of your life
quite unexpectedly. You may be impatient and reckless 魯莽 at certain times, impulsively acting out
your urge for new life and change. You are an emotionally complex person and you are capable of
intense, unexpected outbursts of feelings and desires.
If you share material assets and resources with another person (as in a marriage or business
partnership), your fortunes are likely to fluctuate wildly or change quickly for better or worse.
You love to dream, fantasize, and speculate. You are willing to entertain the most far fetched ideas and
philosophies, since to you anything is possible.
Anything exotic, alien, or faraway holds a great attraction for you. You can have very otherworldly
beliefs which are quite impractical and irrelevant to your everyday existence.
Emotional intensity, compulsive attraction, and a sense of fate or destiny characterize your one-to-one
relationships. It's as if you simply cannot have light, superficial relationships; they are inevitably
profound, intense experiences which reveal your depths to you. You may be drawn to powerful,
charismatic, willful people that challenge, thwart, and ultimately evoke your own power and strengths.
Your marriage is likely to be the arena for your greatest growth.

Chapter 10: Generational Influences: Your Age Group
In this chapter we will discuss characteristics and traits of your generation. Of course, you may not
share all of the characteristics of your generation, but you are greatly affected by the tone that is set by
your generation.
The first topic is \"The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group\". In this section we will
describe a deeply felt urge, even compulsion, of your age group. This deeply felt drive comes to the
surface with great force and power, and consequently leaves in its wake considerable upheaval and
change.
The second topic is \"The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group\", that describes the dreams, fantasies,
and spiritual aspirations of your age group.
The third and last topic is \"What is New and Different in Your Age Group\", which describes areas in
which your age group tends to be innovative, inventive, unusual, and also where it may be unstable and
unreliable.
The characteristics described below may affect a group of people for anywhere from a few years to
about 30 years. There are one or more different astrological factors described in each of the three
sections below.
The Subconscious and Emotional Drive of Your Age Group
You are part of a 12 year group of people who are deeply interested in personal relationships. Your age
group has a deeply-rooted yearning to see people relating and communicating with each other
effectively and harmoniously. There is little egotism and a willingness to hear the other person's side of
the story and a readiness to compromise and arbitrate different points of view. In fact, the need for
harmonious, peaceful relationships is so strong that there is a tendency to overlook real differences and
to focus only on the similarities in an attempt to bring different parties into harmony with each other.
Interest in psychology and sociology is high in your age group. There is a tremendous heightening of
awareness of social skills. Your age group will experiment with different marriage styles, family
relationships, and even business relationships in an attempt to bring fair treatment and effective
communication between people. Interest and appreciation for other cultures is also strong, and your age
group will work hard to preserve and support the cultural heritage of all ethnic groups.
Your strong yearning for equitable and harmonious relationships is also reflected in major
advancements in trade agreements, arms control, and international cooperation that are designed and
implemented by your generation. These agreements and policies foster a much safer and more
cooperative environment for all, although there is also a tendency for greedy individuals to take
advantage of the conciliatory atmosphere and twist situations to their own ends.
In short, you are part of a generation of individuals who are deeply interested in other people; you are a
humanistic and humanitarian group. You will struggle and experiment with personal relationships, and
15
forge new models for how people can relate as friends, family members, and members of nations as
well.
The Ideals and Illusions of Your Age Group
You are part of a 14 year group of people that are extremely idealistic and farsighted in their dreams.
Your age group is very liberal and expansive in outlook, and consequently churches become much
more flexible and more eclectic in their approach during your life time. Religions that do not adapt to
the broad-minded attitude of your age group simply are unable to attract very much interest and
involvement from you.
A great deal of metaphysical musing and speculation is evident in your age group, and there is a very
strong interest in all manner of psychic phenomena, UFO's, prophecy, etc. This interest will open many
new doors and insights, but will also often lead to a great deal of fantasizing and speculation that is
taken more seriously than it should be.
The entire generation to which you belong has tremendous opportunities for spiritual rebirth and
awakening. This will not be forced upon you or precipitated by unavoidable events, rather it comes
from an inner yearning and a natural propensity to seek the depths.
What is New and Different in Your Age Group
You are part of a 7 year group of people who strive for greater equality in relationships. You treat
parents, children, and spouses much more like friends and equals than other generations do, and many
of you will experiment with alternative marriage styles that allow for greater freedom and equality in
relationships.

This report compares ken from the country Hong Kong to other adult men. (The name used in this
report is either a nickname chosen by the person taking the test, or, if a valid nickname was not chosen,
a random nickname generated by the program.)
This report estimates the individual's level on each of the five broad personality domains of the Five-
Factor Model. The description of each one of the five broad domains is followed by a more detailed
description of personality according to the six subdomains that comprise each domain.
A note on terminology. Personality traits describe, relative to other people, the frequency or intensity of
a person's feelings, thoughts, or behaviors. Possession of a trait is therefore a matter of degree. We
might describe two individuals as extraverts, but still see one as more extraverted than the other. This
report uses expressions such as \"extravert\" or \"high in extraversion\" to describe someone who is likely
to be seen by others as relatively extraverted. The computer program that generates this report
classifies you as low, average, or high in a trait according to whether your score is approximately in the
lowest 30%, middle 40%, or highest 30% of scores obtained by people of your sex and roughly your
age. Your numerical scores are reported and graphed as percentile estimates. For example, a score of
\"60\" means that your level on that trait is estimated to be higher than 60% of persons of your sex and
age.
Please keep in mind that \"low,\" \"average,\" and \"high\" scores on a personality test are neither absolutely
good nor bad. A particular level on any trait will probably be neutral or irrelevant for a great many
activites, be helpful for accomplishing some things, and detrimental for accomplishing other things. As
with any personality inventory, scores and descriptions can only approximate an individual's actual
personality. High and low score descriptions are usually accurate, but average scores close to the low
or high boundaries might misclassify you as only average. On each set of six subdomain scales it is
somewhat uncommon but certainly possible to score high in some of the subdomains and low in the
others. In such cases more attention should be paid to the subdomain scores than to the broad domain
score. Questions about the accuracy of your results are best resolved by showing your report to people
who know you well.
John A. Johnson wrote descriptions of the five domains and thirty subdomains. These descriptions are
based on an extensive reading of the scientific literature on personality measurement. Although Dr.
Johnson would like to be acknowledged as the author of these materials if they are reproduced, he has
placed them in the public domain.
Extraversion
Extraversion is marked by pronounced engagement with the external world. Extraverts enjoy being
with people, are full of energy, and often experience positive emotions. They tend to be enthusiastic,
action-oriented, individuals who are likely to say \"Yes!\" or \"Let's go!\" to opportunities for excitement.
In groups they like to talk, assert themselves, and draw attention to themselves.
Introverts lack the exuberance, energy, and activity levels of extraverts. They tend to be quiet, low-key,
deliberate, and disengaged from the social world. Their lack of social involvement should not be
interpreted as shyness or depression; the introvert simply needs less stimulation than an extravert and
prefers to be alone. The independence and reserve of the introvert is sometimes mistaken as
18
unfriendliness or arrogance. In reality, an introvert who scores high on the agreeableness dimension
will not seek others out but will be quite pleasant when approached.

Your score on Extraversion is low, indicating you are introverted, reserved, and quiet. You enjoy
solitude and solitary activities. Your socializing tends to be restricted to a few close friends.
Extraversion Facets
Friendliness. Friendly people genuinely like other people and openly demonstrate positive feelings
toward others. They make friends quickly and it is easy for them to form close, intimate relationships.
Low scorers on Friendliness are not necessarily cold and hostile, but they do not reach out to others and
are perceived as distant and reserved. Your level of friendliness is low.
Gregariousness. Gregarious people find the company of others pleasantly stimulating and rewarding.
They enjoy the excitement of crowds. Low scorers tend to feel overwhelmed by, and therefore actively
avoid, large crowds. They do not necessarily dislike being with people sometimes, but their need for
privacy and time to themselves is much greater than for individuals who score high on this scale. Your
level of gregariousness is low.
Assertiveness. High scorers Assertiveness like to speak out, take charge, and direct the activities of
others. They tend to be leaders in groups. Low scorers tend not to talk much and let others control the
activities of groups. Your level of assertiveness is low.
Activity Level. Active individuals lead fast-paced, busy lives. They move about quickly, energetically,
and vigorously, and they are involved in many activities. People who score low on this scale follow a
slower and more leisurely, relaxed pace. Your activity level is average.
Excitement-Seeking. High scorers on this scale are easily bored without high levels of stimulation.
They love bright lights and hustle and bustle. They are likely to take risks and seek thrills. Low scorers
are overwhelmed by noise and commotion and are adverse to thrill-seeking. Your level of excitement-
seeking is average.
Cheerfulness. This scale measures positive mood and feelings, not negative emotions (which are a part
of the Neuroticism domain). Persons who score high on this scale typically experience a range of
positive feelings, including happiness, enthusiasm, optimism, and joy. Low scorers are not as prone to
such energetic, high spirits. Your level of positive emotions is low.
Agreeableness
Agreeableness reflects individual differences in concern with cooperation and social harmony.
Agreeable individuals value getting along with others. They are therefore considerate, friendly,
generous, helpful, and willing to compromise their interests with others'. Agreeable people also have an
optimistic view of human nature. They believe people are basically honest, decent, and trustworthy.
Disagreeable individuals place self-interest above getting along with others. They are generally
unconcerned with others' well-being, and therefore are unlikely to extend themselves for other people.
19
Sometimes their skepticism about others' motives causes them to be suspicious, unfriendly, and
uncooperative.
Agreeableness is obviously advantageous for attaining and maintaining popularity. Agreeable people
are better liked than disagreeable people. On the other hand, agreeableness is not useful in situations
that require tough or absolute objective decisions. Disagreeable people can make excellent scientists,
critics, or soldiers.

Your level of Agreeableness is average, indicating some concern with others' Needs, but, generally,
unwillingness to sacrifice yourself for others.
Agreeableness Facets
Trust. A person with high trust assumes that most people are fair, honest, and have good intentions.
Persons low in trust see others as selfish, devious, and potentially dangerous. Your level of trust is
average.
Morality. High scorers on this scale see no need for pretense or manipulation when dealing with others
and are therefore candid, frank, and sincere. Low scorers believe that a certain amount of deception in
social relationships is necessary. People find it relatively easy to relate to the straightforward high-
scorers on this scale. They generally find it more difficult to relate to the unstraightforward low-scorers
on this scale. It should be made clear that low scorers are not unprincipled or immoral; they are simply
more guarded and less willing to openly reveal the whole truth. Your level of morality is low.
Altruism. Altruistic people find helping other people genuinely rewarding. Consequently, they are
generally willing to assist those who are in need. Altruistic people find that doing things for others is a
form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice. Low scorers on this scale do not particularly like
helping those in need. Requests for help feel like an imposition rather than an opportunity for self-
fulfillment. Your level of altruism is average.
Cooperation. Individuals who score high on this scale dislike confrontations. They are perfectly willing
to compromise or to deny their own needs in order to get along with others. Those who score low on
this scale are more likely to intimidate others to get their way. Your level of compliance is average.
Modesty. High scorers on this scale do not like to claim that they are better than other people. In some
cases this attitude may derive from low self-confidence or self-esteem. Nonetheless, some people with
high self-esteem find immodesty unseemly. Those who are willing to describe themselves as superior
tend to be seen as disagreeably arrogant by other people. Your level of modesty is average.
Sympathy. People who score high on this scale are tenderhearted and compassionate. They feel the
pain of others vicariously and are easily moved to pity. Low scorers are not affected strongly by human
suffering. They pride themselves on making objective judgments based on reason. They are more
20
concerned with truth and impartial justice than with mercy. Your level of tender-mindedness is
average.
Conscientiousness
Conscientiousness concerns the way in which we control, regulate, and direct our impulses. Impulses
are not inherently bad; occasionally time constraints require a snap decision, and acting on our first
impulse can be an effective response. Also, in times of play rather than work, acting spontaneously and
impulsively can be fun. Impulsive individuals can be seen by others as colorful, fun-to-be-with, and
zany.
Nonetheless, acting on impulse can lead to trouble in a number of ways. Some impulses are antisocial.
Uncontrolled antisocial acts not only harm other members of society, but also can result in retribution
toward the perpetrator of such impulsive acts. Another problem with impulsive acts is that they often
produce immediate rewards but undesirable, long-term consequences. Examples include excessive
socializing that leads to being fired from one's job, hurling an insult that causes the breakup of an
important relationship, or using pleasure-inducing drugs that eventually destroy one's health.
Impulsive behavior, even when not seriously destructive, diminishes a person's effectiveness in
significant ways. Acting impulsively disallows contemplating alternative courses of action, some of
which would have been wiser than the impulsive choice. Impulsivity also sidetracks people during
projects that require organized sequences of steps or stages. Accomplishments of an impulsive person
are therefore small, scattered, and inconsistent.
A hallmark of intelligence, what potentially separates human beings from earlier life forms, is the
ability to think about future consequences before acting on an impulse. Intelligent activity involves
contemplation of long-range goals, organizing and planning routes to these goals, and persisting toward
one's goals in the face of short-lived impulses to the contrary. The idea that intelligence involves
impulse control is nicely captured by the term prudence, an alternative label for the Conscientiousness
domain. Prudent means both wise and cautious. Persons who score high on the Conscientiousness scale
are, in fact, perceived by others as intelligent.
The benefits of high conscientiousness are obvious. Conscientious individuals avoid trouble and
achieve high levels of success through purposeful planning and persistence. They are also positively
regarded by others as intelligent and reliable. On the negative side, they can be compulsive
perfectionists and workaholics. Furthermore, extremely conscientious individuals might be regarded as
stuffy and boring. Unconscientious people may be criticized for their unreliability, lack of ambition,
and failure to stay within the lines, but they will experience many short-lived pleasures and they will
never be called stuffy.

Your score on Conscientiousness is high. This means you set clear goals and pursue them with
determination. People regard you as reliable and hard-working.
Conscientiousness Facets
Self-Efficacy. Self-Efficacy describes confidence in one's ability to accomplish things. High scorers
believe they have the intelligence (common sense), drive, and self-control necessary for achieving
success. Low scorers do not feel effective, and may have a sense that they are not in control of their
lives. Your level of self-efficacy is average.
Orderliness. Persons with high scores on orderliness are well-organized. They like to live according to
routines and schedules. They keep lists and make plans. Low scorers tend to be disorganized and
scattered. Your level of orderliness is high.
Dutifulness. This scale reflects the strength of a person's sense of duty and obligation. Those who score
high on this scale have a strong sense of moral obligation. Low scorers find contracts, rules, and
regulations overly confining. They are likely to be seen as unreliable or even irresponsible. Your level
of dutifulness is average.
Achievement-Striving. Individuals who score high on this scale strive hard to achieve excellence. Their
drive to be recognized as successful keeps them on track toward their lofty goals. They often have a
strong sense of direction in life, but extremely high scores may be too single-minded and obsessed with
their work. Low scorers are content to get by with a minimal amount of work, and might be seen by
others as lazy. Your level of achievement striving is high.
Self-Discipline. Self-discipline-what many people call will-power-refers to the ability to persist at
difficult or unpleasant tasks until they are completed. People who possess high self-discipline are able
to overcome reluctance to begin tasks and stay on track despite distractions. Those with low self-
discipline procrastinate and show poor follow-through, often failing to complete tasks-even tasks they
want very much to complete. Your level of self-discipline is high.
Cautiousness. Cautiousness describes the disposition to think through possibilities before acting. High
scorers on the Cautiousness scale take their time when making decisions. Low scorers often say or do
first thing that comes to mind without deliberating alternatives and the probable consequences of those
alternatives. Your level of cautiousness is average.
Neuroticism
Freud originally used the term neurosis to describe a condition marked by mental distress, emotional
suffering, and an inability to cope effectively with the normal demands of life. He suggested that
everyone shows some signs of neurosis, but that we differ in our degree of suffering and our specific
symptoms of distress. Today neuroticism refers to the tendency to experience negative feelings. Those
who score high on Neuroticism may experience primarily one specific negative feeling such as anxiety,
anger, or depression, but are likely to experience several of these emotions. People high in neuroticism
are emotionally reactive. They respond emotionally to events that would not affect most people, and
their reactions tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret ordinary
situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional
reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood.
These problems in emotional regulation can diminish a neurotic's ability to think clearly, make
decisions, and cope effectively with stress.
At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are less
emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative
feelings. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive
feelings; frequency of positive emotions is a component of the Extraversion domain.

Your score on Neuroticism is average, indicating that your level of emotional reactivity is typical of the
general population. Stressful and frustrating situations are somewhat upsetting to you, but you are
generally able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations.
Neuroticism Facets
Anxiety. The \"fight-or-flight\" system of the brain of anxious individuals is too easily and too often
engaged. Therefore, people who are high in anxiety often feel like something dangerous is about to
happen. They may be afraid of specific situations or be just generally fearful. They feel tense, jittery,
and nervous. Persons low in Anxiety are generally calm and fearless. Your level of anxiety is high.
Anger. Persons who score high in Anger feel enraged when things do not go their way. They are
sensitive about being treated fairly and feel resentful and bitter when they feel they are being cheated.
This scale measures the tendency to feel angry; whether or not the person expresses annoyance and
hostility depends on the individual's level on Agreeableness. Low scorers do not get angry often or
easily. Your level of anger is average.
Depression. This scale measures the tendency to feel sad, dejected, and discouraged. High scorers lack
energy and have difficult initiating activities. Low scorers tend to be free from these depressive
feelings. Your level of depression is average.
Self-Consciousness. Self-conscious individuals are sensitive about what others think of them. Their
concern about rejection and ridicule cause them to feel shy and uncomfortable abound others. They are
easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Their fears that others will criticize or make fun of them
are exaggerated and unrealistic, but their awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-
fulfilling prophecy. Low scorers, in contrast, do not suffer from the mistaken impression that everyone
is watching and judging them. They do not feel nervous in social situations. Your level or self-
consciousness is high.
Immoderation. Immoderate individuals feel strong cravings and urges that they have have difficulty
resisting. They tend to be oriented toward short-term pleasures and rewards rather than long- term
consequences. Low scorers do not experience strong, irresistible cravings and consequently do not find
themselves tempted to overindulge. Your level of immoderation is low.
Vulnerability. High scorers on Vulnerability experience panic, confusion, and helplessness when under
pressure or stress. Low scorers feel more poised, confident, and clear-thinking when stressed. Your
level of vulnerability is high.
Openness to Experience
Openness to Experience describes a dimension of cognitive style that distinguishes imaginative,
creative people from down-to-earth, conventional people. Open people are intellectually curious,
appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty. They tend to be, compared to closed people, more aware of
their feelings. They tend to think and act in individualistic and nonconforming ways. Intellectuals
23
typically score high on Openness to Experience; consequently, this factor has also been called Culture
or Intellect. Nonetheless, Intellect is probably best regarded as one aspect of openness to experience.
Scores on Openness to Experience are only modestly related to years of education and scores on
standard intelligent tests.
Another characteristic of the open cognitive style is a facility for thinking in symbols and abstractions
far removed from concrete experience. Depending on the individual's specific intellectual abilities, this
symbolic cognition may take the form of mathematical, logical, or geometric thinking, artistic and
metaphorical use of language, music composition or performance, or one of the many visual or
performing arts. People with low scores on openness to experience tend to have narrow, common
interests. They prefer the plain, straightforward, and obvious over the complex, ambiguous, and subtle.
They may regard the arts and sciences with suspicion, regarding these endeavors as abstruse or of no
practical use. Closed people prefer familiarity over novelty; they are conservative and resistant to
change.
Openness is often presented as healthier or more mature by psychologists, who are often themselves
open to experience. However, open and closed styles of thinking are useful in different environments.
The intellectual style of the open person may serve a professor well, but research has shown that closed
thinking is related to superior job performance in police work, sales, and a number of service
occupations.

Your score on Openness to Experience is average, indicating you enjoy tradition but are willing to try
new things. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex. To others you appear to be a well-educated
person but not an intellectual.
Openness Facets
Imagination. To imaginative individuals, the real world is often too plain and ordinary. High scorers on
this scale use fantasy as a way of creating a richer, more interesting world. Low scorers are on this
scale are more oriented to facts than fantasy. Your level of imagination is average.
Artistic Interests. High scorers on this scale love beauty, both in art and in nature. They become easily
involved and absorbed in artistic and natural events. They are not necessarily artistically trained nor
talented, although many will be. The defining features of this scale are interest in, and appreciation of
24
natural and artificial beauty. Low scorers lack aesthetic sensitivity and interest in the arts. Your level of
artistic interests is low.
Emotionality. Persons high on Emotionality have good access to and awareness of their own feelings.
Low scorers are less aware of their feelings and tend not to express their emotions openly. Your level
of emotionality is high.
Adventurousness. High scorers on adventurousness are eager to try new activities, travel to foreign
lands, and experience different things. They find familiarity and routine boring, and will take a new
route home just because it is different. Low scorers tend to feel uncomfortable with change and prefer
familiar routines. Your level of adventurousness is low.
Intellect. Intellect and artistic interests are the two most important, central aspects of openness to
experience. High scorers on Intellect love to play with ideas. They are open-minded to new and
unusual ideas, and like to debate intellectual issues. They enjoy riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers. Low
scorers on Intellect prefer dealing with either people or things rather than ideas. They regard
intellectual exercises as a waste of time. Intellect should not be equated with intelligence. Intellect is an
intellectual style, not an intellectual ability, although high scorers on Intellect score slightly higher than
low-Intellect individuals on standardized intelligence tests. Your level of intellect is high.
Liberalism. Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and
traditional values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright
hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and disorder.
Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition.
Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not identical to political affiliation, but certainly incline
individuals toward certain political parties. Your level of liberalism is high.

The agreeable nature and quiet personality of INFJs makes them particularly vulnerable to hurt
feelings. Distress within close relationships can shatter the INFJ. Like all NFs under stress, INFJs feel
fragmented and lost — as if they are acting out a part rather than simply being themselves. This
disassociation can be related to physical symptoms for the INFJ, whether real or imagined. Feeling split
off from their physical natures, INFJs may become virtually immobilized by repressed feelings.
Although INFJs may feel like remaining still and stationary until the chaos and confusion of a stressful
situation dissipates, it would be best for them to actively sort out their needs from others. Being
excessively cooperative and agreeable, the INFJ has a tendency to adopt values and beliefs of others as
their own. When external conflicts grow, so does the INFJ's sense of personal disharmony.
Disassociating themselves from others takes a great deal of effort for the INFJ.

be right. Accordingly, the INFJ should choose a career in which they're able to live their daily lives in
accordance with their deeply-held principles, and which supports them in their life quest to be doing
something meaningful. Since INFJs have such strong value systems, and persistent intuitive visions
which lend them a sense of \"knowing\", they do best in positions in which they are leaders, rather than
followers. Although they can happily follow individuals who are leading in a direction which the INFJ
fully supports, they will very unhappy following in any other situation.

Self-help reflections
1. If only physical attractiveness counts, sooner or later, it fades with age. He will leave me when
I get old.
2. If just for fun, why need ask so much? Why treat villains well? Does treating them well equate
with his kindness in return, as warned by the psychic, Jenna.
3. Why cling to a zombie/monster who doesn’t deserve my love? According to Buddhism, does
the impermanence of nature count?
4. Wisdom grows with age, not physical attractiveness.
5. Handsome plus stupid equals fun plus no further spiritual elation.
6. If no further spark, boredom towards one handsome guy results.
7. Self → family→company/organization→society→world
8. Inner conflict between id and superego helps train ego strength. Light follows darkness in
cycles. Positivities comes in turn with negativities, contributing to cyclic flow of yin followed
by yang and subsequently their holistic and circular nature.
9. Frederick Nietchze values void since he claims that god is dead. Seeking true meaning in life
seems an arduous and arbitrary task Burner claims the importance of meaning making in
education or constructivism. Narrative counselling emerges to align drifting beliefs with
safety nets.
10. Chats with brainless males bore me since we sing out of tune. Only sexual gratification is
derived from staying harmoniously with them. Why cling to/ cherish so much our fragile and
ephemeral relationships?
11. Failure or success, it soon will pass. Follow the Tao of troughs followed by crests. Be aware
of here-and-now and enjoy it. Let’s celebrate, sing, dance and rejoice every precious moment.
12. When others/ spectators laugh at you, they show their appreciation for you. When I make
them happy too, I feel good inside.
13. When others’ influence on you fades, anxiety level wanes. If I need not find a handsome guy
to be my soul-mate, why keep replenishing and rejuvenate my beauty/ outlook (physical
attractiveness). When confidence is built on inner qualities not outlook, self-confidence is
boosted/ sky-rockets.
14. Every creature gets its own way of living. Life finds its way. Trust on Tao and get your
personal and spiritual development in line with innate abilities.
15. No one always view your every move/ facial expression/demeanour! Even they view you, it
takes only a nanosecond, implying them they cannot know your member identity or your
anxious feeling. Conversely, I don’t even remember times when others project an anxious /
embarrassing outlook. Passers-by are not willing to focus their attention on you constantly.
16. In positive psychology, we should project authentic self, not false self. We should show our
true colours with the help of assertiveness training. Lower our defence mechanism by tearing
away various masks on our face.
17. In Enneagram, a 5 should advance towards 8 by showing off leadership skills and disclosing
your self (inner strengths) and viewpoints.
18. Try not to me emulous. Be co-operative not competitive. (Mediation in conflict resolution, not
just compromise). Depend on your own self, not solely on your mother in order to grow and
mature. Learn more from role model, like successful males and public speakers.
19. Physiological response remains the same when my heart pounds and my nerve fires.
Negatively, I attribute to being nervous and anxious. Positively, I attribute to being excited
and elated.
20. In systematic desensitisation, I should conquer fear by progressively reach out to strangers,
initially from duo to groups. Talk more frequently to outsiders/laypersons.
21. Emotional wound get healed only when it surfaces towards conversing more with males.
22. Inner resources can be a person, knowledge or belief system (like religion or philosophy).
Informed consent occurs when you explore enough of that field and use multiple perspectives
to evaluate and assess a situation towards finding an optimised outcome (one of many
alternatives) to compromise between harsh reality and your self-yearnings.
23. Explore the self in light of physical, mental, spiritual, social, sexual domains. Practise role-
playing when you exhibit self in terms of solitude, family, society, member, colleagues and
peers.
24. Identity cause-and-effect relationship (causal) along your developmental path in terms of
personalities, interests, beliefs and philosophy. Be a soul gardener cultivating different
29
beneficial and nourishing plants in your soul garden instead of fostering and planting
vociferous and venomous flora inside.
