Colour Test

Published by Fence under Pointless

I am:
Existing situation: Orderly, methodical, and self-contained. Needs the respect, recognition, and understanding of those close to him Hmmm I chose female, shouldn’t that be “to her”?,

Stress Situation: Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Restrained Characteristics: Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.
Egocentric and therefore quick to take offense. Sensitive and sentimental, but conceals this from all except those very close to him.
Insists that her goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing her to compromise. Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner.

Desired Objective: Intense, vital, and animated, taking a delight in action. Activity is directed towards success or conquest and there is a desire to live life to the fullest.

Actual Problem: Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for her personal accomplishments

Will it ever end?

Published by Fence under Current Affairs, Honk

Been doing the blog-rounds and on Crooked Timber they quote from an article in the New York Times, about how the man who trained the American guards at the Abu Gharib prison was forced to resign from his position as director of the Utah Department of Corrections after a prisoner died having been strapped, naked, to a restraining chair and left for 16 hours.
The article is full of stories of prisoner abuse in American prisons, such as “in Texas, [where] guards were allowing inmate gang leaders to buy and sell other inmates as slaves for sex”
