What Are My Personal Patterns?
Do you wonder…
Why do I feel bad about myself?
What patterns are getting in the way of my being successful?
What is causing me to be depressed and hopeless?
What is most important for me to work on?
What keeps me from being relaxed and at ease?
We have many different patterns of feeling and functioning. Some work well for us and some don’t.
This quiz covers all the patterns except for the Interpersonal Patterns. I have created two quizzes for patterns (this one and the Interpersonal Patterns Quiz) instead of one, in order to limit the number of questions in each quiz.
Take this quiz to learn about your patterns and what to do about the ones that aren’t working for you.
Most people take between 4 and 8 minutes to complete the quiz.
Answer these questions to the best of your ability, without giving them a great deal of thought.
Write down your first reaction.
You must answer all the questions.
