On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes21 Comments

What can One Image and One Word alone say about our personality? Image and Word are two representations that can take us very deep in our subconscious (Freud takes a close look at this in “The Ego and the ID” – among others – and Carl Jung in “Man and his Symbols”). Now let us build our own perspective on it. Please take a look at the featured picture, and pick the title that best describes how this picture makes you feel:

  1. Life

Personality Test – What’s your Life Purpose? – Part 1

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes24 Comments

What is your purpose in the world? Let us come a little closer to the answer – please read the quotes below and choose the one that you feel resonates more with your deepest beliefs:

  1. “Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” John F. Kennedy
  2. “The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.” Sydney J. Harris
  3. “My purpose: to lift your spirit and to motivate you.” Mavis Staples
  4. “There’s a divine purpose behind everything – and therefore a divine presence in everything.” Neale Donald Walsch
  5. “The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” Dalai Lama

Interpretations:

  1. You’re the very definition of Driven, Strong and Makes-An-Impression. Whoever you work for or with – in case you’re freelance or a businessperson – is a winner. You’re reliable, efficient and tailored for success. You may do well in business or medicine – and these are only two major examples.
  2. You’re a kind person, and you may be patient. You’re profound and wise, and – as your choosing this quote clearly states – you may be a good teacher, writer or philosopher. You may be a good communicator; you sometimes talk a lot, sometimes it’s hard to get a word out of you, but you always manage to convey your meaning.
  3. You have a talent to impress people and to determine them to listen to you because you have a way with both words and gestures; you may want to make sure your drive to motivate people doesn’t stem from repressed vanity though; you may do well as a coach, a therapist or teacher.
  4. You believe in divinity, and you feel its presence strongly; you may place quite some value on fate, which gave you reason to believe in it by proving its presence in your life quite often; it may be that your purpose is a purely spiritual one; you may do well as a counselor, social worker, or you may be talented at dealing with difficult people, such as underage offenders; even though not regarded as a real job in our way-too-money-focused world, you make a really good friend.
  5. You’re a person who focuses on the essential; you’re well-grounded and sophisticated, simple and elegant, deep and a person of few words; you’re dual from a number of points of view; you may have trouble with worldly purpose such as money-making, since you tend to do only what you like; you may not know this, but deep down you’re a rebellious nature, and you often rebel against yourself – like when you decide to do something and then you go ahead and do the exact opposite.

Personality Test – What do your Death quotes say about you? – Part 2

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology19 Comments

Last week part 2 of the personality test series “What do your Death quotes say about you?” was promised. And, as promised, here it is. Please read the following quotes and let yourself feel which one best resonates with who you are:

  1. “Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75.” Benjamin Franklin
  2. “Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” Horace Mann
  3. “No one can confidently say that they will still be living tomorrow.” Euripides
  4. “I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.” Woody Allen
  5. “If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

Interpretations:

  1. You’re afraid of a linear life that leads nowhere. You need to experience sensation, you need passions and angers and bliss. Not feeling is the worst that can happen to you; you’re bold, and you might be prone to taking risks.
  2. You have not only a strong sense of purpose, but also of honor; it’s not that you feel you’re in any way special, but you feel you must achieve something special in your life – and you’re probably right. You have a great need to feel useful, and you strive in this respect, which makes people like you.
  3. Uncertainty and unpredictability are two factors you may steer your life by. You tend to make the best of everything life offers, but you may be prone to always wanting more; you may be particularly generous and loving; you’re pretty humble when it comes to the vulnerability of the human, and you may pity the poor fools who fail to acknowledge it.
  4. You give it to them straight up. No nonsense, very much in touch with your true desires and not afraid to state them; you have little patience for more philosophical or spiritual approaches because you consider them phony; you’re honest, blunt and full of energy; you sure make an impression almost wherever you go.
  5. You believe in higher meaning; you believe man should fight for something greater than himself, and may strongly believe that we were all born with a specific purpose; you have a strong sense of mission, even though you may not be certain that you’ve discovered what your true mission is; the journey of your life is to find this epiphany – that moment when you’ll know exactly what you were born for; you don’t like people who think too much of themselves.

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests for you here! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming.

Personality Test – What do your Death quotes say about you?

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes17 Comments

Last time we looked at what our Love Quotes say about our personality, and I promised that today a personality test on Death Quotes would follow, since Eros (Love) and Thanatos (Death) are so closely related to each other. This is the first of a series of two personality tests based on your Death Quotes, so this is only layer 1. Scratching the surface. What you have to do is read the following quotes and let yourself feel which one resonates best with who you are:

  1. “A man who lives fully is prepared to die anytime.” Mark Twain
  2. “It’s not death a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” Marcus Aurelius
  3. “All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.” Maurice Maeterlinck
  4. “Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.” Herodotus
  5. “I’m not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” Woody Allen

Interpretations:

  1. You love and enjoy your life or, if you don’t, you’re totally capable of doing so if only you could delegate some of your responsibilities; you believe there is so much to enjoy and appreciate, and you may have little patience for whiny brats; people may love to be around you for your positive nature; you rarely complain.
  2. You appreciate the light in life; you may have had to put up with too much hardship; you may be the type of person who’s very responsible, the kind of person people come to when they need a solution, counsel or money; you’re the strong and reliable one, with a positive approach to life.
  3. You’re deep and maybe a bit dark; you’re as strong and reliable as #4, but you’re grimmer, and you have an appreciation of the heavy; you may feel that overly positive people are either phony or stupid, and you don’t have much tolerance for triumphant speeches, candy or pink ribbons.
  4. You’re an experienced, wise person who listens more than they talk, and who’s learned to master both their drives and emotions; you may have turned into an intellectual, and you appreciate like-minded people; you’re a person of reason, and you love civilization, good old wine/scotch and harmony.
  5. You’re well grounded in reality, you have a refreshing spirit, you’re witty and often funny; people love to be around you because they get such a good vibe from you; you’re the kind of person people resonate with, and you may be generally well-liked, especially when acting like yourself.

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests for you here! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming. Until then, take advantage of all the goodies on this site and stay tuned for a new episode of the free online novel The Marquis on Friday! : )

Personality Test – What do your Love quotes say about you – Part II

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes17 Comments

Exploring what our Loves say about us is a nearly inexhaustible pursuit, for which reason here we go with a new personality test that will reveal some more about what your feelings and mind-set about love say about you. Read the following quotes an decide which one of them resonates with you best:

  1. “And remember, as it was written, to love another person is to see the face of God.” Les Miserables
  2. “To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that’s everything.” Tolis
  3. “I saw that you were perfect so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.” Angelita Lim
  4. “In order to be happy oneself it is necessary to make at least one other person happy.” Theodor Reik
  5. “At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.” Plato

Interpretations:

  1. To you, love is the purpose of all existence, and intense love is where you imagine the peak of your life ; you exist to find the purest bliss of love; you do value sensation in love, you want to get high on it, to experience both the adrenaline and the deep calmness of it; you were born to be a lover.
  2. Requited love gives you power and energy; you’re all about hunger and passion and fire as long as it’s requited; you might’ve had some painful experiences with unrequited love, which has hardened your skin, so to say; your heart is a place hard to reach, but once done, it’s quite a ride.
  3. You’ve had painful experiences in life, and you appreciate a human and humane lover above all else; you have wisdom and deep understanding and tolerance for the human being; your ability of loving – and even desiring – imperfect people makes you quite a valuable gem.
  4. You’re all about selflessness, and you’re also a positive, happy person; you’re kind, generous and sweet, a young soul, the soul of the spring; you’re hopeful and bright and you can really lighten up another human being’s life; beware of negative, depressive characters that might drain and consume you attempting to save themselves.
  5. You’re creative, sensitive and a dreamer; you’re an idealist with really strong emotions; you may actually be a rather conscientious person in everyday life, but when it comes to matters of the heart you can change into a magician; you’re not philosophical about love, you feel more than you intellectualize, and you can give your lovers the experience of their lives.

And since Eros (love) and Thanatos (Death) are so closely interlinked with each other it’s only logical that the next personality test will explore what your Death Quotes say about you, coming up on Wednesday. Stay tuned for an intense one!

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests for you here! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming. A very special next personality test on Death Quotes is due the following days, and a new chapter of The Executioner tomorrow, the Part II of which is due for release in about a month! Check out the entire part I here, and stay tuned for a new episode of the free online novel The Marquis on Friday! : )

Personality Test – What do your Love quotes say about you?

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Fiction Entertainment, Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes16 Comments

This is a very special occasion – today we’ll find out what your feelings about love truly say about you. Please read the quotes below and decide which one best suits your person.

  1. “Love isn’t something you find. Love is something that finds you.” Loretta Young
  2. “Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own.” Jackson Brown, Jr.
  3. “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” Aristotle
  4. “Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.” Blaise Pascal
  5. “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” Oscar Wilde

Interpretations:

  1. You strongly believe in destiny and, in your life, karma may really have power. You may find love when or with whom you expect it least. Divine intervention may either have made itself felt before, or it will in the future. Surprise may be one of the main characteristics of your life.
  2. Selflessness is your ultimate goal in matters of the heart; you can truly be selfless, but you wouldn’t mind being at the receiving end every once in a while. You may have had deep and painful experiences in your life, and you’ve learned what truly matters; you’re capable of offering things so wonderful that any lover would be beyond lucky to have you.
  3. Idealistic is what you are, romantic, deeply affectionate and capable of limitless tenderness; you’re the ideal lover for those who truly appreciate devotion and dedication; you dream not necessarily of the perfect love, but of the love that consumes and elates; you’re all about Romeo and Juliet, or Edward Cullen and Bella Swan – whether you like it or not.
  4. You’re not only profound, but intelligent and wise; you’re like the old wise wizard who’s seen and experienced so much that hardly anything can surprise him anymore, even if you’re young; your inner world is sophisticated and rich, a true delight for connoisseurs. Spending time with you may be as enriching and delicious as old red wine.
  5. You’re very much influenced by modernity, as well as new age philosophy; you may have had trouble loving yourself, and found help in certain aspects of mundane life, but it is advisable that you avoid falling prey to escapism and new-age forms of selfishness; you may have to learn and love yourself before you love others, but you must be careful that your expectations don’t leave the bounds of what is feasible and achievable, and remember that your partner is only human too.

It’s a nearly inexhaustible task, being through with psychological analysis based on love quotes, which is why next time we’ll look even deeper into this. Stay tuned for the next personality test that will go a level deeper on what your Love quotes say about you.

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests here for you to enjoy! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming.

Personality Test – What do your Desire quotes say about you?

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Personality tests, Psychology, Quizzes27 Comments

Welcome to a new personality test everybody! Today we’ll look at what our feelings about Desire say about our personality. Please read the following quotes and decide which one resonates with you best?

  1. “A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.” Ayn Rand
  2. “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.” Plato
  3. “We do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually our desire changes.” Marcel Proust
  4. “The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire, not things we fear.” Brian Tracy
  5. “It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.” Benjamin Franklin

Interpretations:

  1. You’re a true fighter, but things go much deeper than that with you! You’re as good as obsessed with authenticity and meaning. You don’t compete for the sake of competition, you compete only when you truly believe in a cause. You’re driven and motivated by things you believe in.
  2. Whether you know it or not, you’re an intense person. You’ve known intensity of feeling, curiosity and a wide range of other emotions that have turned you into a people-knower; you may be patient and a good observer, and a philosopher at heart.
  3. You’re a well-grounded person; you may feel life has beaten you quite a few times, and you may have little tolerance for escapism, laziness or too big dreams; you have a strong sense of reality and you’re very responsible; you take your duties very seriously; you’re reliable for others, but you may have sacrificed yourself often.
  4. You’re an optimist, and people may often seek your company for motivation and getting their spirits lifted. But you often need a good word yourself, a hand to pull you out of the quicksand that you sometimes feel sucks you in. Life seems to have a way of challenging you yet more with every victory you seem to have won. It’s like providence is constantly working to make you stronger.
  5. You’re a person of reason and high intelligence; you’re super controlled, hard on yourself and others; you’re calculating and you struggle to keep a cool head in every situation; you have very strong emotions, and in your childhood or youth the intensity of your emotions may have caused you some trouble, which is the reason you consciously chose suppression.

 

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests here for you to enjoy! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming. Stay tuned for a very special next personality test on Love the following days, and a new episode of The Marquis tomorrow! Stay tuned : )

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Psychology, Quizzes21 Comments

As promised, here is a personality test that will reveal what your beliefs about Fear say about you. Please read the quotes below and choose the one that best represents your true beliefs. Your choice will reveal a far-reaching truth about your strengths and weaknesses.

  1. “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Franklin D. Roosevelt
  2. “It is better to be feared than loved, if you can’t be both.” Niccolo Machiavelli
  3. “And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us.” Ian Rush
  4. “Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.” William Gurnall
  5. “I hasten to laugh at everything, for fear of being obliged to weep.” Pierre Beaumarchais

Interpretations:

  1. You’ve experienced fear quite often, and you really feel it imprisons you; you may struggle to find a remedy against it, understand it and seek to free yourself from its shackles; you may have a lot to lose, and you’re a very cautious person; your innate strength is cautiousness; you should cultivate it in positive ways, losing the fear.
  2. You’re a tough person, and your friends may see you as the epitome of ‘strong’; you may sometimes feel that the goal justifies the means; you can be very calculated and even dangerous; you’re dignified, and you may have suffered a great deal in your youth; your innate strength is toughness.
  3. You seek to defeat your fears; you seek to face them and master them; your innate strength is intelligence; you may always be a step ahead of your opponents in matters of strategy; you’re often honest, but diplomatic instead of straight-forward; you try to be fair, but you don’t expect to be treated the same.
  4. If you truly understand and feel this quote to the core you are a deeply wise person; you don’t fear your own strength in terms if what you might achieve, but in terms of the atrocities you’re capable of; you may seem very kind and sweet – even to yourself – but you’re capable of great cruelty provided with the right reason.
  5. You’re witty and sometimes sarcastic, sharp-tongued and even poisonous; to you, it’s not about being hurt as much as it is about being offended; clever and quick, you may be quite fascinating at least to people of the same sex; people want to be like you; you may be an influencer.

Enjoyed this? Plenty more quizzes here for you to enjoy! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the quizzes coming next week as well. Stay tuned for a very special next quiz on Desire the following days.

Personality Test – What do your Anger quotes say about you?

On By Ana C. BlacklaceIn Psychology, Quizzes22 Comments

Long time no personality test, so let’s have a special one before we start off into a well-deserved weekend. Since some weeks can be quite demanding (I know mine has been), anger can be unavoidable. So let’s relax, sink into our cushions and explore our subconscious mind to discover what our attitude to Anger says about us.

Read the quotes below – which one represents your feelings about anger?

  1. You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. (Buddha)
  2. Speak when you are angry, and you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever get. (Laurence J. Peter)
  3. People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining. (Stephen Hawking)
  4. When I am angry I can pray well and preach well. (Martin Luther)
  5. No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched. (George Jean Nathan)

Interpretations:

  1. You know how poisonous anger can be for the soul, you’ve probably experienced this poison quite a few times; you may be a patient person, often kind, but you’ve been in some dark places not everyone experiences in life.
  2. You feel anger is creative; it’s a driving force for you, and you may even seek the feeling when you need a kick; you’re not afraid of anger, you can deal well with it and use it to advantage; you may think that people are more attracted to you when you’re angry.
  3. You’re a positive and probably busy person; you have responsibility and sometimes worry, you deal well with it, but when you unwind you prefer it light and funny; it may get on your nerves when people get too philosophical because it tires you.
  4. Similar to number 2, anger helps you channel your inner strength, which you use to learn and convey lessons; you try to stay humble and grounded; you may be a good influence for the young, and people may come to you for advice.
  5. Reason is high up in your value system; you admire efficiency and cool-headed approaches; you’re open minded and accepting, you may even militate for people’s right to be different and express themselves; you could be an engineer as well as a therapist.

Enjoyed this? Plenty more personality tests here for you to enjoy! I’d love to hear from you in a comment and, to prove my love and appreciation, I’ll keep the personality tests coming next week as well. Stay tuned for a very special next personality quiz on Fear the following days.

Trauma surgeon Lieutenant Cassandra Toma begins her deployment at the Joint-Unit Air Base on the wrong foot. On her first day, she clashes with her new commander. Her rebellious nature and sassiness rival her excellent performance in the operating room. It might be the only reason she’s not reprimanded … or is it?

Major David Hunt is unsure how to handle the brilliant and beautiful Cassandra. As her commander, he can’t consider a relationship. A forbidden passion consumes them with the intensity of an erupting volcano, leaving her heartbroken and him with tarnished honor and pride as an officer. The only way out for David is disappearing into the dangerous warzone in Iraq.

When their paths cross again, Cassandra and David find they have a common goal—to find Cassandra’s brother, Maj. Robert Toma, kidnapped by insurgents while on patrol. To rescue him, they must put aside their resentments and fight their common enemy. And the fire between them is back.

Cassandra wants to give David—and their love—another chance. But she doesn’t know that his mistake, his secret, could cost them both the love they’ve finally found.
