and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

My Instinctual Variant Test Results

It's interesting to know so many tests have been designed to try to understand so little of so complex a being as we humans. A friend of mine have been bothered by his "weirdness" lately & decided to seek out some answers from a battery of tests. Here's one he tried. The scores are mine, though.

Check it out here

The Instinctual Variant Theory holds that your instinctual drives can be divided into three forces (or clusters). The Sexual force drives you to seek closeness, like you would experience in a strong romantic relationship or a close friendship. The Social force drives you to consider the wider community, where you & others stand, what everyone thinks/feels/needs of you & what you think/feel/need of them. The Self Preservation force drives you to maintain individual concerns - security, health, comfort, etc.. Each person will have a different mix of these three variants. Your results suggest the following mix:

Sexual - 86%
Social - 62%
Self Preservation - 90%

Well, as expected, I scored low on Social & High on Sexual & Self Preservation. That would be me, for now. Or at least the one who designed this test thinks that would be me...for now.
