Your Emotional Style

When answering the following questions, don't think too long and don't look for all sorts of exceptions or extenuating circumstances. The first impression counts:

Resilience

Even after a minor argument with a close friend or partner, you usually feel depressed for hours or longer.

If another driver uses the shoulder to avoid a long line of cars trying to merge, instead of being angry about it for a long time, you get over it quickly.

When you are overcome with great grief, for example because of the death of a loved one, you cannot recover from it for many months.

If you make a mistake at work and get reprimanded for it, you don't care and treat it as a learning experience.

When you go to a new restaurant and discover that the food is terrible and the service is unpleasant, it ruins your entire evening.

When you get stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident and you finally manage to get out of it, you usually press the gas pedal to vent your frustration, but inside you are still boiling.

If an important device breaks down at home, it doesn't affect your mood because you know that you just need to call a specialist who will fix it.

When you meet a wonderful man/woman and ask if he/she would like to meet you again, the refusal usually puts you in a bad mood that lasts for several hours or even days.

If you are considered for a promotion or an important professional award, but the honor ultimately goes to another person who you consider less qualified, you can usually come to terms with it quickly

When you meet an interesting person at a party and you can't say a word when they ask you about your life, you usually go back to that conversation later, thinking for a long time about what your answer should be.

Attitude

You often feel that when you are very busy, you can multitask without feeling tired.

When you go to the movies or a concert, the excitement you feel for the first few minutes quickly dissipates.

When you wake up in the morning and think about the pleasant activities that await you, a feeling of positivity accompanies you throughout the day.

In your opinion, beautiful views such as a wonderful sunset quickly become commonplace and boring.

If you go to a party and have a good time from the beginning, you will be in a positive mood throughout the evening.

When something unexpected and positive happens to you in the morning - for example, an interesting conversation with a stranger - the positive mood evaporates within minutes.

The possibility of moving to a new city is a terrifying journey into the unknown for you.

You know that the next 10 years will be better than the previous ones.

When you evaluate your co-worker, you focus on what they still need to learn, not on their overall positive achievements.

Meeting new people is a great pleasure for you ("They could be your new friends"), not a duty ("It's definitely not worth it").

Social intuition

When you talk to people, you often notice subtle signals they send about their emotions, expressing, for example, embarrassment or anger even before they recognize these emotions themselves.

You often pay attention to other people's facial expressions and body language.

It doesn't really matter to you whether you talk to people on the phone or in person, because you rarely get any additional information from direct contact with the interlocutor.

You often feel like you know more about other people's true feelings than they do.

You are often surprised that while talking to you, some people get angry or moody for no apparent reason.

In a restaurant, you prefer to sit next to your interlocutor because then you can only see part of his face.

You often respond to someone's confusion or anxiety based on intuition rather than explicit conversation.

When you're out in public and have some free time, you like to watch people.

You feel embarrassed when a person you barely know looks you straight in the eye during a conversation.

You can usually tell at first glance that someone has a problem.

Self-awareness

When someone asks why you're so angry or sad, you often answer or think to yourself, "I'm not."

When people close to you ask why you are so rude or mean to other people, you often say that this is not the case.

It's not uncommon for you to experience symptoms like heart palpitations and a racing pulse, more than a few times a month, even though you have no idea why.

Seeing people suffer makes you also feel pain, both physical and mental.

You are usually confident about your feelings and able to express them in words.

Sometimes you feel various ailments and you don't know what their source is.

You like to spend time in silence and relaxation, simply listening to yourself.

You believe that you are an intelligent part of your own body and you feel at ease in it.

Your attention is mainly directed to the outside world and you rarely notice what is happening inside your body.

During physical exercise, you are perfectly aware of the changes taking place in your body.

Sensitivity to context

Someone very close to you has told you that you are extremely sensitive to other people's feelings.

You heard a few times that you were behaving inappropriately in company, which surprised you very much.

Have you ever had an unpleasant experience at work because you were too familiar with your manager, or had an argument with a friend because you showed good humor when he was unhappy?

When you talk to people, you notice that sometimes they move away from you to keep their distance.

You often hold back from saying something because you feel it might be inappropriate (for example, if someone asks, "Honey, don't I look fat in these jeans?").

In a public place like a restaurant, you pay close attention to how loud you speak.

You were often admonished in public places not to mention the names of people who might be there.

You can almost always tell if you've been there before, even if it's a highway you drove on many years ago.

You notice someone behaving inappropriately, for example, being too frivolous in the workplace.

People close to you say that you show good manners when meeting strangers and in new situations.

Attention

You have no difficulty in having a conversation with another person in a crowd of people, such as at a party or in an office cubicle; in such conditions you can concentrate completely on what the other person is saying.

You can concentrate in noisy environments.

When you are in a situation where there is a lot going on and you are exposed to a lot of stimuli, such as at a party or in a crowd at an airport, you are able to focus and your thoughts do not wander to individual events.

If you decide to focus on a specific task, you will usually succeed.

When you are at home and trying to do something, the sound of the TV or other people's voices distracts you a lot.

If you are surrounded by silence, even for a moment, a stream of thoughts flows into your head, immediately occupying your attention, and you cannot determine what their source was.

If your attention is distracted by an unexpected event, you can refocus on what you were doing.

In moments of relative silence, such as when you're riding a train or bus, or standing in line at a ticket counter, you pay attention to everything that's going on around you.

If you have a task to do independently that requires your full attention, you try to find the quietest place possible.

Your concentration usually becomes distracted by external stimuli or events and it becomes very difficult to distract yourself from them later.
