Leaves of Grass

Whoever you are holding me now in hand,
Without one thing all will be useless,
I give you fair warning before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different.

Who is he that would become my follower?
Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?
The way is suspicious, the result uncertain, perhaps destructive,

You would have to give up all else,
I alone would expect to be your sole and exclusive standard,
You novitiate would even then be long and exhausting,
The whole past theory of your life and all conformity to the lives
around you would have to be abandoned,
Therefore release me now before troubling yourself any further,
let go your hand from my shoulders,
Put me down and depart on your way.


Walt Whitman

Am I intuitive?

it's the result of the test four:

I have Strong Intuitive feeling. Most intuitive people talk about their faculty rather as though they possessed sensitive feelers, like those of certain insects, that can detect very slight changes in their environment. the down side of being highly intuitive is that you may be less observant of facts than other people. you may also find it hard to convince the people around you of the validity of your feelings when forced to concede that they are 'only' based on intuitive insight.

Am I Optimistic?

and here it is the result of the third test:

You are still a pretty optimistic kind of person, and your world view is generally warm and pleasantly comfortable. you are aware that life may have its bad patches, but on the whole you don't expect such things to happen to you.

what a good result.. for me.

Am I anxious?

It's the result of the second test:
Are you anxious?

the result is that I am inclined to worry but do not let it get out control...

better result than the previous test.

Am I in control?

I've bought a book, it's "The Complete Book of Personality Test"
and this the result of the first test:
Are you in control? And the result is:

You seriously doubt your ability to handle events and suspects that much of your lie is beyond your control. Any optimistic feelings you have are very fragile indeed, and you are uncomfortably aware that you often fail.

That's the result, and it is true that I often fail and I'm not comfortable with it.
