Results 看看你的測試結果
大多選A:情緒激動型
毫無疑問,你是一個容易被外在事物影響的人,喜怒哀樂無一遺漏都會反映在臉上。你脆弱又敏感,常常會不由自主地因周圍的事物而情緒激動。你會對糟糕的成績嗤之以鼻,也會迅速將這種壞情緒發泄出來。好吧,偶爾發發脾氣或是流流眼淚也不是什么丟臉的事情,誰叫我們都是普通人呢!但當你下次再陷入困境時,嘗試多做幾次深呼吸,讓歇斯底里的情緒慢慢平息下來。通常只要將這種情緒快速暫停一下,哪怕只是一小會兒,你就會發現,其實這真的沒有什么大不了的。
大多選B:心態平和型
大多數情況下,你都可以很好地控制自己的情緒,即便你太過生氣或是覺得十分失落時,也懂得適時尋求別人的幫助,這非常棒。你懂得如何在日常的困境中看到生活的風趣面。保持這種平穩的心態吧,盡管做到這點并不容易,但是你一定會優雅、體面并以充滿敬意和歡迎的態度來度過你的人生。但要記住,每個人都有權利經歷極度興奮的時刻,所以當你面臨這種情況時也不要錯過哦。
大多選C:深藏不露型
你很內斂,很少容許什么事情來觸動你。雖然你這種與世無爭的態度令你很容易相處,但是,也要確保你自己不會因這種超然的態度而錯失自己真正想要的東西。好好地哭一回或小小地爆發一下都不會有問題的,而且還能幫助你在處理生活中的大小困難時達到情緒的平衡哦!
