Possible results
This is how the app describes the results. You will see yours after the last question.
Playing rough
A tendency to go on the attack when things go wrong. When someone lets you down or makes you angry, you may reach for harsh tools: a raised voice, a threat, sarcasm, revenge. It's usually a way to regain control and protect yourself, but it can hurt the people close to you more than it seems.
Prickliness
Distrust, and assuming others mean you harm. You tend to be suspicious and quick to get irritated. Sometimes it's easier to assume bad intentions than good ones, and other people's success can sting. It's often armor left over from old disappointments.
Dominance
A need to steer and have a say in what happens. You like being at the helm, setting the direction and seeing results. Ambition and decisiveness are your strengths, but when everything has to go your way, the other person can feel left out.
Insecurity
Finding it hard to act without other people's support and approval. You're quick to let others make the call, and you look for confirmation that you're on the right track. In company you get flustered easily and defuse awkward moments with a joke. It's a sensitivity that could use a little more self-belief.
Submission
Putting up with bad treatment because “that's just how it is.” Sometimes you put up with more from the people close to you than anyone should, or think criticism and hurt are the price of being accepted. Remember: no one has the right to humiliate you, intimidate you or treat you with contempt.
Inner critic
You have a harsh critic in your head who rarely has a kind word. Compliments make you squirm, your successes seem like luck, and other people's ideas always seem better. You often worry about letting someone down. That inner critic talks loudly, but it doesn't tell the truth.
