I got Super Ego, and I picked all my answers truthfully. There was 1 question that had several answers for me though. I took the test twice and got the same result--Super Ego.
Here are my answers--
1. Your husband tells you he is having dinner with an attractive client -- but it's strictly business. You:
My answer--Drop by the restaurant to check things out. (Hey, you just happened to be in the neighborhood!)
Note: I would just be curious. Obviously it depends on the situation but I'd drop by. I trust my current mate and would probably just leave it alone. But this question/answer just makes me curious to see what's it all about.
The other two choices:
Say, "Bon app�tit," and microwave a pizza for one
Do a mini-cross-examination before he leaves -- and get the play-by-play when he gets home
2. You see an envelope addressed to your mate from his ex. You:
This is my answer--Steam, pry and "accidentally" manage to open it -- or toss it out before he gets home
Note: It really depends on the situation, I am thinking the ex is psycho.. BUT if the ex had a child with my mate or had some unfinished business I'd hand it over.
Leave it alone. Not your business
Hand it to your husband, then hover so you can read every word
3. You learn that your ex -- whom you sent packing -- is now sharing sushi and sparks with a friend of yours. You:
Blow up or "suggest" your pal notice how your ex slurps the soup
My answer--Either don't care much or are glad they found each other
Note: I don't care, he is an ex and there's a reason for that.
Are less than thrilled. This is a little too close for comfort
4. A not-so-great-looking gal pal shows up at a party, arm-in-arm with a "perfect 10" -- who also happens to be much younger. You:
My answer--Smirk a bit and wonder how your pal hooked this catch
Note: This happens on a regular basis, looks aren't everything and I have no reason to trash the couple because i could care less.
Figure this "10" must be a closet "1" -- and warn your pal about May/December romances
5. A coworker lands that promotion you were running yourself ragged to snag. You:
Say, "That's nice," then play up the extra work involved -- and play down your interest
Congratulate her and figure, "Those are the breaks. The next one's mine."
This is my answer--Bite the bullet and extend your hand -- but fish around to find out why she got it
Note: I don't see myself playing down my interest and I don't believe it was a break... There was a reason, why x-employee got it and I'd want to know why/how.
Think: "Way to go!" Pat your bud on the back -- and beam
6. You and your mate can only afford a three-day trip to the mountains, while a couple you know is planning a three-week vacation to Europe -- which you would love. You:
Note: This was the answer that I multiple answers for.
My answer--Suggest to your mate that you save up for your dream trip -- then bask in that mountain air
My answer--Enjoy your mountaintop, but mention it's no Monaco
Note: The mountains sound fun to me, why should I ruin my vacation by thinking I should be somewhere else? I just think there'll be a time when I can go on that dream vacation but right now I am in the mountains with my mate and that's enough for me.
Simmer and stew in your cabin. You should be in the Costa del Sol
7. When you watch shows about the lives of the rich and famous, you:
Note: None of these are really my answer but I chose the best possible one.
My answer--Get a minor kick out of their champagne-and-caviar lives, then dig in to your tuna casserole -- with relish
Note: I could care less about the rich and the famous. I dislike when people idolize other human beings. They are the same as you and I. Now I do have respect for certain people but I won't go fan crazy over some one etc..
Fantasize about the fun they are having in Cannes
Burn, then go on about their divorces -- and how dumb and empty their days must be
8. Your pal's 11-month-old can run rings around the coffee table, while your baby boy hasn't made the leap. You:
Caution that early walkers can be a problem, or casually overrate your son's crawl around the sofa
This is my answer--Ooh and aah for your pal. Your son will rise up when he's ready
Note: I am not competitive, I do not have kids yet.. but I'd imagine loving my son to death and I realize every one has their own pace--I will not set my son's pace. He'll walk when he is ready.
Act pleased and drop a mention of your boy's ability with blocks into the conversation
9. At the beach, you spy a perfectly toned (and tanned) woman in a thong who is clearly over 40. You:
My answer--Admire the great shape she is in
Note: Although, I also some what agree with the no-need to flaunt part but I think it's cool when older people are in great shape, it's something I'd want when I am over 40. I have no reason to trash some one because of their lifestyle.
Admit the bod is great, but make a point of trashing the suit. If you've got it, you don't have to flaunt it
Put her down. You've got better things to do than pump up or pay a fortune for that figure
10. Your cousin just bought an incredible manse overlooking the ocean that puts your humble abode to shame. When you get the housewarming invite, you:
Put on a happy face, but feel a pang as you pass the view from the patio
Either beg off -- it's your bridge night -- or attend and comment, "It's lovely, but not really my style
My answer--Show up with champagne and make a sparkling toast on the terrace. Good for him; he deserves it!
Note: I really have no answer for this, as I am not really a person who takes great pride in a home. Being an orphan myself, I have had other things to take pride in. I'd show up with champagne (because it's sooo yummy) and celebrate! Because that's so much funner than being unhappy at someone's fortune or being alone by not attending.
11. You attend a reunion and find that an old chum from Creative Writing 101 is working on a screenplay with Oliver Stone -- while you're churning out ad copy. You:
My answer--Carry on about your poetry -- or put down the Hollywood scene
Note: I guess it would depend on the chum, I have had roommates where I wasn't very close with. Now if this is an old pal.. then I'd burst with pride BUT chum--I'd carry on with my own thing.
Burst with pride -- you knew him when -- and ask your old bud for details
Get a little impressed, then a little down. Hey, it could've (or should've) been you
I have answered truthfully and commented on my answers. Now I know you said *almost* but I don't see, getting Super Ego is impossible. Some people just have different view of things.
Super Ego
You're far too confident and self-assured to bother fussing, fretting or fuming over other people's fortunes or foibles. Because you're okay with you, you don't waste time or Tums mistrusting your nearest and dearest or toting up their wins to your losses every time they score. Since you act with taste and good grace, friends, family, lovers and coworkers probably live up to your trust and appreciate your toasts. No green rages or purple paranoia for you as you walk through life content with your bounty -- and secure you can hold onto it.
