I haven't heard of that book. I will try to check it out at the library.

I noticed that amazon lists several similar books beneath it that have to do with personality tests. I could spend all winter taking tests.

Actually, I'm trying to get away from myself and personality tests may be a hinderance. Did you take the Minnesota something-erother personality test? I came out too consistent and they thought I was faking to get disability. Actually, I took the test after my veteran's compensation became permanent so that wasn't an issue. Perhaps, I was trying to justify the compensation and exaggerated on the test. While I took the test, I was constantly thinking about how it would be viewed by someone else.

Actually, whenever I do anything, it's for someone else. I can't watch a movie, read a book, or even wash the dishes for myself. Oh, my daughter or friend might like this. I'll tape it for them and meanwhile I realize I don't enjoy it for myself.

I guess that's the borderline emptiness - noone home, nobody there. There's no core. I feel like my enjoyment, interests, thoughts, reasons, and opinions are all contrived. The emotional pain is real and I have alot of empathy for others - I spend much of my time imaging what it would be like in their shoes - yet not much else is real.

What others call thinking, is more like groping in the dark for me.
