A personality quiz is a common test that we all go though from time to time. Not all of us understand that it’s not just a questionnaire. The difference between a personality quiz and an application form is essential. For example, if you are applying for a job and fill in both of them during the interview, the latter can tell your employer more about your education, job experience, and family status. While the first one can show what kind of person you are, how you are likely to act in any given situation, and whether your employer can trust you.
No matter how sure psychologists are about a personality quizzes they make it is not possible to totally predict anyone’s behavior no matter how sophisticated a test is or how educated the person who designed it was.
Let’s think of the factors that may influence your behavior in a certain situation:
- your surrounding
- your mood
- time of the day
- fear (or its absence)
- how much you have drunk yesterday (just as an example), etc.
Going back to the topic it is absolutely possible to succeed in your personality quiz. It is as clear as day - be your self!

What does it mean to be Human? Well if you reflect on your thoughts and behaviors and those of the individuals around you on this planet since the beginning of our existence here I think you will likely come to the conclusion that to wear the label Human is not exactly endearing or desirable.
The death and destruction that we have brought to ourselves, others and the environment is clearly evident. As you reflect on this how do you feel knowing that you also are one of those Humans? I suspect that some may wish they they could somehow disown their species.
Before you choose to give up on your species however I would like to suggest that your conclusions may need to be reassessed. It is possible that we have all been seduced into “thinking” that all this death and destruction is part of our true nature.
Of course, if it were, we would not be happy or satisfied with ourselves, would we? In fact wouldn’t we feel trapped in something that none of us really desires? Isn’t that the reason many of us have been on a spiritual path, to try to alter or change this sad state of affairs?
If you follow me so far I think you will recognize that inside each of us there is a Being that recognizes that there is something wrong with our current state. This Being has to have an awareness of what is good for us and what is not good for us.
It has to have a frame of reference from which it can assess whether we are where we want to be or not. If such a Being did not exist, we would not be able to discern whether the destructive behaviors we see emerging from our bodies were in fact destructive. Instead we would just feel it was natural to exhibit destuctive behaviors and therefore would have no desire to change something that feels natural. But it doesn’t feel natural, does it?
You can readily feel this from the feelings of sadness or regret you experience after you have noticed yourself exhibiting a destructive behavior. So you see, something, or someone inside you is commenting on the destructive behavior through the language of feelings, namely the sadness or regret.
The behaviours are just that, behaviors. Where do they stem from? Well from the thoughts that we entertain in our minds. These in turn arise from the conditioning that we call our life history. This conditioning is stored as memories and beliefs in our minds and bodies.
In a recent article I wrote entitled “We Are Not Our Personalities” I discussed my experience with a new tool called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) and its ability to “dismantle” the persoanlity. In doing so what emerges is the Being I talked about earlier, The Being who “knows” and has always known what it means to be Human. That to be Human means not to identify with something that you are not i.e. what you call your thoughts, your memories, your behaviors, and your life history.

Comforting a grieving family is never an easy task and people often feel quite helpless at being unable to do the right thing. Fortunately, flowers are a good way to condole one’s loss and are sent to the funeral home for display during the viewing and service.
In the first couple of decades of the last century, funeral flower arrangements were usually large, sweet-smelling badges shaped as hearts, crosses and logos of organizations. For example, a Rotarian would take along a wreath in the form of a broken wheel to a fellow Rotarian’s funeral. From 1970, this practice gave way to customized funeral flower arrangements that depict the deceased’s profession, such as anchors for seamen.
The various kinds of funeral flower arrangements include the wreath, which is a circular floral arrangement of flowers and greens; people believe that its shape symbolizes eternal life. The floral stand is another type of arrangement. It is visible only from one side and is placed on a stand and can be ordered in a choice of up to three tiers. A cross-shaped arrangement symbolizes the deceased’s faith in Christianity. The family of the deceased usually orders an arrangement called a casket spray for the top of the casket. If a child dies, floral arrangements in the shapes of angels, bunnies, bears, or other objects are done in white with leafy trimming.
Once the funeral service is over and the grieving family begins to cope with their loss, it is completely in order for you to comfort them with flowers or a plant that shows that they can count on you for support.
Traditionally, white flowers are used. Chrysanthemums, roses in red, white, yellow and pink, white lilies and carnations are the flowers of choice.
Flower Arrangements provides detailed information about flower arrangements, Christmas flower arrangements, dried flower arrangements, and more. Flower Arrangements is affiliated with Growing Hibiscus.

Bipolar depression is a mood disorder characterized by the alternation of depressive and manic states. The distinguishing characteristic of bipolar depression is the presence of at least one episode of mania. It is also presumed to be a chronic condition because most of the people having manic episodes are likely to have another episode of it in the future. Every person with bipolar depression has a pattern of mood cycles, combining manic episodes with depression, which is unpredictable until the path is found. Bipolar depression usually begins during the teen or early adulthood years and continues throughout one`s lifetime. It`s usually not considered a psychological problem because it happens in episodes, but those who have it may suffer for years without proper treatment.
The exact cause of bipolar depression has not yet been determined. However, most scientists agree that there is no single cause for being bipolar. Scientists believe that stressful factors trigger the first episodes of mania. One reason a person may be bipolar is that the condition is genetic. It appears that many different genes act together in conjunction with a person`s surroundings which create the symptoms associated with bipolar depression. Another cause of bipolar depression could be from the differences in brain structures. MRI tests have shown that those suffering from bipolar depression may have slightly different brain structures than the people who are not effected by the condition. There is also evidence that bipolar depression may be triggered by environmental stresses such as the death of a loved one, the birth of a new baby, or the loss of a job. After a stressful event, a psychological cycle of depression and mania develops in the people with bipolar depression.
Some people do not understand that depression can cause a person to be unable to make simple life decisions. That is why it is important that people with bipolar depression educate their friends, family, and co-workers on the signs of their depressive episodes. Some of the warning signs that you should educate these people on are:
* Lethargy
* Fatigue
* Insomnia
* Lower activity levels
* Loss of interest in activities.
Educating these people puts you in a position to help make sure you take proper action at the start of the episode.
The intensity and frequency of mood swings will vary from person to person. Individuals with bipolar depression may progress to a different category of bipolar depression that gets worse over time of their illness. There are four categories of bipolar depression:
*Bipolar I
*Bipolar II
*Bipolar NOS
*Cyclothemia
The treatment of Bipola I disorder requires one or more mixed or manic episodes. The previous course of the illness may include depressive episodes and hypomania, but the treatment requires only one mixed episode. Bipolar II, the most common form of bipolar depression, is characterized by episodes of disabling depression and hypomania. The diagnosis of Bipolar II requires at least one hypomanic episode. This is used primarily to change from unipolar depression. A patient may be depressed and it is very important to find out if the hypomania has ever caused manic episodes in which the patient was in an uncontrolable state. Bipolar depression is not treated the same way for everybody. Only your doctor can determine the proper cure and exact classification of bipolar episode.
