I thought this would be self-evident to almost every decent human being on this planet by now, but apparently not.

People aren't angry ENOUGH. Those who are direct their anger towards the wrong entities.

For once in 5000 years, it might be nice if some REAL anger was directed towards the greedy, sociopathic, anti-human, ecocidal, war-mongering, racist, sexist, authoritarian, homophobic, hedonistic, nihilistic, etc......institutions and individuals who have made "civilization" the living hell that it is.

Wow...all that because I saw a mushroom cloud in an ink blot? 8O


Willard your posts here tell us the same thing- I doubt ink blots tipped them off! :lmao:

My sentiments exactly......if the human species is the "crown of creation", i'd hate to see what the heel of creation looks like. 8O

Rorschach tests are stupid. You can interpret them any which way.

WOW is right!

I'll bet I could take that test and get THE SAME results! This is REALLY SCARY, and this whole Asperger's thing is starting to FREAK ME OUT!

People who think the self-diagnostics and those who suspect are just looking for an excuse REALLY need to THINK AGAIN. While it's comforting to be able to look at feelings, actions, and behaviors and the reason why those things are the way they are within oneself, it's a bit disconcerting to think of having a neurological deficit that most people don't understand or care about.

Those tests are only guidelines. They're not infallible, nor should they be taken as gospel.

At the least, though, I think it's worthwhile to take your test results into consideration. Think about what it's saying and how it compares to your own self-assessment. Maybe you'll decide that the test is complete BS. Or maybe you'll conclude that there's some truth to it after all. In which case, it's good that you were able to gain some new insight from it.

Either way, it's shortsighted to just dismiss all tests as being "stupid". It's also pointless to go off on a tangent about "anger" in general. Only you can determine how valid these results are. But at least, give it some thought, and come to an informed conclusion that works for you.

That's why I made the comment I made; it's as if I posted it myself.

My identification is not just at the "level of apparent symptoms," but at a deeper level where I can go back to specific incidents and detail why I felt the way I did at the time.

Much of it will center around people taking things I've said or done as an affront of one kind or another when they were not meant to be.
