Defense Style Questionnaire

[Oxajil]

I got:

Mature 36
Neurotic 14
Immature 10

 

[aaronfransen]

Mature 34
Neurotic 11
Immature 12

I'm thoroughly average!

 

[Archaea]

Mature 37
Neurotic 20
Immature 37

I'm fairly mature, but I really want my mummy.

Also I think this question:

Sticking to the task at hand keeps me from feeling depressed or anxious.

Might be a bit of a loaded question. What if the person doesn't feel anxious or depressed? or what if they have nothing to do?

My results are:

Mature 39
Neurotic 19
Immature 10

Kinda expected the neurotic score to be elevated. Interesting questionnaire! :)

Reading through these results I noticed that several members failed to give their personal scores and only mentioned the mean values of 388 participants with the standard deviations between brackets. These members are: agni (Reply # 20), Meager1 (Reply # 41), Al Today (Reply # 55) and loreta (Reply # 59).

I suspect they copy/pasted their results. This procedure doesn't work properly as the personal scores won't copy via that operation.

I did it wrong myself in first instance -- that's how I know. You have to type them manually in here.

Thanks for the test. It reminds me that I tend to take myself too seriously. :)

Two things bothered me, though:

3. 40. I work more things out in my daydreams than in my real life.

How do people "work things out" in their daydreams?

12. 82. No matter how much I complain, I never get a satisfactory response.

I answered this one neutrally. I think it depends on how you complain about something. If your complaint is legitimate and done tactfully, such as complaining to a water district that a pipe is leaking and request that they fix it, then you'll likely get a good response. But if you're complaining to someone that they need to change themselves because you don't like the way they are, you're probably gonna be ignored, since people only change themselves when they want to.

3. 40. I work more things out in my daydreams than in my real life.

How do people "work things out" in their daydreams?

It's about dissociation, in instance, when we are creating pleasurable ideas/presentations in our mind on our future, what we will do, and how we will be, without making any real efforts in this direction.
