My Facebook Psychologist…

All right, I know how stupid the facebook create-a-quiz widgets are. Most of them are written by people who really shouldn’t list English fluency on their resumes. (Really – the questions and results could be posted on the engrish website.) But when I took the “what type of woman are you” quiz, I was AMAZED at the results. Apart from being a “Lovely Lady”, here’s what it said:

You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim maybe is to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs. All your time is hold back for your friends and family. You are always there for people in trouble. Ready for any emergency. You make a lot of sacrifices just to be a good human. But every woman has her needs, her longings and a destiny. Don’t loose yourself in work or curing other people’s souls. You will have your own problems in your life. Another problem is that you don’t say your opinion when it’s right and important to say it. People trample onto your soul if you are always so kind and lovely and helpful. They will play on you.

Which is basically what I just paid a psychologist $170 to tell me last week. Although admittedly the facebook app used much more inventive language.

So should I just fire the psychologist, save a lot of money and rely on quiz developer Hanna Umfahrer (who is evidently a German high school student) to counsel me? I mean, I do want to be a good human and save the people by curing their souls. But then again, I’m tired of loosing myself and having my soul trampled.

 

You know, in the end, I think I’ll stick with the gal with the PhD. And we’ll call this little facebook coincidence just that. Okay? 

Oh, and by the way…how’s your soul feeling today?

    Wow. That is you. All I got was Marilyn Monroe which I wasn’t happy about as she is a tragic character, although beautiful. Um,hmmm. I guess it wasn’t the same quiz but still. I’d stick with the PhD too.

    I often wonder how it is that those dumb FB quizzes seem so accurate. Kind of like horoscopes? There must be a formula that says: this is universally applicable to people who answer this quiz, no matter what their answers.

    There’s a mystery there. And I want to find it out!
