TEST: How do you feel about change?

TEST: How do you feel about change?

1. The most difficult thing about making new resolutions is:
Sticking to them, without relapsing
Working out what they should be, and getting over what’s stopping you
Making a start and putting in the necessary effort to get going
Trying not to make too many and giving up everything at once
2. What’s the hardest thing about ending a relationship?
Not knowing when is the best time to break up, or how to tell them
Hurting someone close to you
Not making the same mistake again
Not running back to them
3. If you take stock of how you have changed as a person, you realise:
You have gone your own way and been true to yourself
You’ve wanted to change, but deep down you know you’re still the same
You have gone in several directions, done a lot of soul- searching, lost your way, but changed for the better
You have changed so much that sometimes you hardly recognise yourself
4. When you are not enjoying your job, you:
Look at job adverts but don’t get around to applying for anything
Start looking for another one – if you find a job you like, you'll take it
Send your CV out and go to a few interviews, but in the end stay where you are
Complain about it to your friends, but stay where you are
5. Do you meditate or do yoga for relaxation?
You probably need to, and plan to join a class soon
You’ve tried it but you gave up
You’ve often thought about it, but have never got around to it
Yes, it’s an essential part of your routine
6. How do you feel about your quirky habits?
You don’t really worry about them – they are just part of who you are
It would be impossible to give them up. If you tried giving something up you’d just do it all the more
You don’t really have any, or not many
It annoys you when other people pick up on them, but you’re not going to change
7. Which of the following statements reflects your attitude?
Why bother doing anything? You might make matters worse
Why make an effort? As soon as you stop, everything goes back to how it was
What’s the point of hoping for the best? Everything is a disappointment anyway
What’s the point of being so pessimistic? If you question everything, you’ll never get anything done
8. Your partner suggests you swap sides of the bed:
You’ve tried it before and you didn’t get a very good night’s sleep
No problem – but not tonight, you’re too tired
You don’t mind. You do it quite a lot and it makes a change
You say no. It’s silly – why bother?
9. When you eat at a restaurant, you:
Like to try new things but are often disappointed
Ask lots of questions about the different dishes, but end up having the same as usual
Leave the choice up to the waiter/waitress
Tend to go to the same places and order the same thing
10. How do you feel about moving house?
You hate it
You find it difficult to get used to new places
You look forward to it
You don’t like leaving, but you do like discovering places
11. Something other people have commented on is that you:
Are pessimistic
Aren’t very good at seeing a problem around the corner
Lack self-confidence
Tend to have too many regrets
12. How often do you clear out your wardrobe?
Regularly, but you usually keep half the things anyway
You do it every year. There might be the odd thing you regret throwing away, but it’s a small price to pay
Never. Your old clothes are part of who you are; they’re mementoes of your past
You know you should do it, but you always put it off
