I took a test on Oprah's site too haha, and that one also said I am an 'emotional infant', with traits of emotional adolescence and emotional childhood, but absolutely zero emotional adult traits: [br][br]
"Here's what the letters corresponding to your answers mean: [br][br]
D: THE EMOTIONAL INFANT
The emotional infant simply does not recognize the rest of the world. When you need something, you howl until you get it and feel no need to give back. This primitive "feed me" strategy works so remarkably well for some people that they stay stuck; they get a whole lot of stuff and not much sense of self. Even those of us who've moved on revisit infancy more often than we care to admit. Romantic relationships, in particular, seem to trigger relapses, probably because any passionate bond snaps us right back to our first baby attachment: You have what I need. I demand it. [br][br]
You'll know you're there when you hear yourself argue, "If you loved me, you'd…" Only infants get fed solely because they are loved, with nothing asked in return. [br][br]
C: THE EMOTIONAL CHILD
The emotional child clearly recognizes that there are powerful others who control the important resources of attention, support, money and love (or sex). Most likely you don't feel like an equal in your relationships, but you're a wily and instinctive negotiator. Your underlying attitude is "You have things I want, and I will find ways to get them from you." You're adorable, pleasing, needy, prone to tantrums, withholding or utterly seductive. [br][br]
You'll know you're there when you catch yourself between a wheedle and a whine. If you notice you're sneaking to get your way or shifting the blame to avoid your punishment, welcome back to childhood. The payoff may be getting what you want, but it comes at the price of putting yourself down. [br][br]
B: THE EMOTIONAL ADOLESCENT
The emotional adolescent also sees others as more powerful, but is much less comfortable with their perceived authority. You flip back and forth, sometimes insisting on total independence, no matter the price ("No, I won't call to tell my husband my plane's going to be late. I don't have to report to him"), and other times expecting to be rescued ("I just assumed he'd be at the airport. He knows I can't manage this luggage on my own"). The emotional adolescent wants either nothing or everything, and sometimes both in the same argument. [br][br]
You'll know you're there when you can't give in, even when a part of your brain recognizes that the other person is making a fair point. When you insist on something that's not that important to you ("This is my side of the bathroom and I'll say whether it's too messy"), you're no longer arguing for a point. Instead you're fighting to assert your power, having unconsciously lost some already by turning yourself into a teenager and your "opponent" into a parent. [br][br]
Relationship ambivalence is the scarlet letter of the emotional adolescent. If you have a love-hate connection to your boss, your best friend, your lover or your parent, that's a tip-off that you're either clinging to adolescence or you're caught in its quicksand." [br][br]
I just found all that hilarious.
hm…yes, morbidly hilarious i suppose i mean.
I'm not surprised to find out I am Old and Middle Aged. People always tell me I am the oldest 28 yr old they've met. I guess that means I'm boring haha.
I actually scored in my age range. Wasn't expecting that!
