#18A PASSIONATELY IMPULSIVE

this web page is no longer maintained click here for newer version 4.0 

I know that some people carefully, rationally weigh alternatives when they come to a fork in the road. I’m typically not like that. Often my needs seem urgent and my actions are guided by powerful feelings--fear, anger, jealousy, love, lust, frustration, intuition, sympathy, courage, possessiveness, insecurity, sociability, hostility, sorrow, etc. (Note: Rather than acting in goal-oriented, measured fashion, this person’s actions are often based on primitive urges or childish reactions.)
