eyeball Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 This questionnaire I found on alexithymia, aka emotional blindness, reminded me of the advice one often encounters in a variety of threads and posts in this forum to strive to think with one's mind vs their heart. Alexithymia /ˌeɪlɛksəˈθaɪmiə/ is a personality construct characterized by the sub-clinical inability to identify and describe emotions in the self.[1] The core characteristics of alexithymia are marked dysfunction in emotional awareness, social attachment, and interpersonal relating.[2] Furthermore, individuals suffering from alexithymia also have difficulty in distinguishing and appreciating the emotions of others, which is thought to lead to unempathic and ineffective emotional responding.[2] Alexithymia is prevalent in approximately 10% of the general population and is known to be comorbid with a number of psychiatric conditions.[3] wiki Take the Online Alexithymia Questionnaire here Test Results: 92 Points Non-alexithymia: You show few to no alexithymic traits.

cybercoma Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Bad questionnaire. It's obvious what result your answers will give you. Also some of the questions are so awkward and vague that they're difficult, if not impossible to answer objectively.

cybercoma Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Got a high number?I didn't even take it because the questions make the results obvious. It's not a very good test.
