Seven Deadly Sins and I

I just completed the Seven Deadly Sins test on Tickle, as it was free this week. It says that I’m less sinful than most people, but I appear to have a strong gluttony, pride and the rest is either average or below average.

I would highly recommend this test, unlike the e.g. weight test which claims that the BMI of 23 is “too much” while everywhere else it would be classified as normal. So, I sent out four invitations to close friends, but I am encouraging everyone I know to take it. Click here!

And now about my results…

My pride is 8 out of 10, the average being 4.5 out of 10.
I’m not surprised that it’s my worst sin. There are so many things I would never do because I simply consider them wrong (and my low lust helps there, a lot), I would never do anything that could damage someone else’s interests, I would not speak to people who harmed me or for whom I think they harmed me; I would never lie or be an opportunist, I would never change myself to get what I want…and that is probably why I have it harder than the most of people. But i don’t think it’s a sin at all! I love it.

My gluttony is 6 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
In fact, how come this one is not 9 out of 10? I have the kinds of craving only pregnant women have sometimes and I always have temporary obsessions about certain type of food; plus there’s my ongoing Big Mac obsession (they taste even better when they’re cold, have I ever told you that?) and this weird thing with Pepsi Max. Right now, I also have a thing for ćevapčići with kajmak, vanilla ice cream with Plazma keks and…god, I shouldn’t go on.

My greed is 4 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
Frankly, I think the average cannot be 3 out of 10 and that people are pretending to be humble, so I am probably less greedy than the most of population. Also, this test was made for an American average Joe/Jane type of a person and the life standards are bigger in USA nd western Europe. If I want more, I just want some normal things, such as actually having two holidays a year and having enough to pay the most of my parents’ bills. I don’t see that as greed.

My wrath is 3 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
I guess I have improved, I used to be horrible.

My envy is 3 out fo 10, the average being 2.5 out of 10.
And that’s probably because of the same thing as greed.

My sloth is 2 out of 10, the average being 4 out of 10.

My lust is at 0.5, the average being 4 out of 10.
I’m not surprised. I’m too picky and I don’t understand sex as a pleasure, only as the ultimate way of expressing love. So, no lust for me, I’m not lusting and I’m not even pretending when I say that, I was born this way.

So…let’s just say that I’m proud of my pride.

The Tickle inkblot test is free this week so…why not do it?

Iva, your subconscious mind is driven most by Love

Everyone has a desire to love. But your desire is rooted very deeply in your unconscious and affects many of the decisions you make in life — whether you are aware of it or not.

You have an energy about you that inspires people to experience their true feelings of love and act kindly towards others. In this way, you and your drive for loving relationships start a chain reaction of positive experiences.

The reason you are driven by love, may be because your unconscious is trying to avoid the opposite of love — hate. You, more than others, may be afraid of experiencing severe discord with others. That may, in turn, heavily influence your choices about relationships and the way you communicate your ideas, wants, and desires to others.

With such a strong orientation towards loving others, your relationships hold a very special place in your life. Your capacity to love may be greater than those around you, and therefore you may have more to give in relationships than your romantic partner does. Remember that this is a gift you have and one most others don’t possess.
