For a moment you got me worried that I was sending out some rather unintended signals. But it sounded wrong enough that I started thinking it might be the output of some sort of personality prediction / horoscope / fortune cookie generator. Googling the first sentence… (you can guess the rest :)
Indeed. However, I must confess a certain degree of curiosity. When you state that the description sounded wrong, what did you mean? Did you mean that the description was so common as to be useless, or did you mean that the description did not apply to you? If the former case, this matter is of no interest. If the latter case, something interesting could possibly be derived, depending on which parts of the paragraph failed to describe you.

I’m failing to see how, since any disagreements I have about the description would be based on my own understanding of myself, whereas my OP was asking others to provide me with their insights (and, implicitly, any explanations needed for me to see the insight myself). Also, the kind of “psychoanalysis” I had in mind was in the context of an argument, where the reasons I give for my beliefs may not be the actual reasons I have for my beliefs, not this kind of general description of personality.
