Are you the kind of person who has to have things “just so”? Or are you content to just go with the flow? Take our quiz to see where you rank on the “high maintenance” scale.

Took the quiz. I am a "Patient Pleaser", it says, and reminds me to make sure I get my own needs met. I do. I don't think I "bottle up my emotions"; I just don't sweat the small stuff.

I'm a patient pleaser too. Aren't we lucky that we have to watch out for getting stuck with somone high maintenance? I wonder if there is anyone who is just right. I guess we'll have to see how others do.

Apparently, I'm a patient pleaser too. It makes me sound like a pushover, which I'm not. I justchoose not to make a big deal of things.

I want to know what all the personality options are. I get tired of just knowing my own.

I am a thoughtful juggler, sensitive to others needs but asertive enough to look out for myself. I guess that sounds about right.

I took that test three times. The first time to see what I was (also "patient pleaser"), and then the second two times to see how different my answers would have to be in order to be something different. As it turns out, you have to answer quite a bit differently, which leads me to assume that there are probably only three possible outcomes. The third time through, I got the "thoughtful juggler," but some of my answers that time around sounded pretty self-absorbed and pushy to me. No offense to anyone who actually got that, but I think the test isn't quite right. After all, I only let people walk all over me if I'm getting paid for it.

Apparently I'm a ptient pleaser too. And I didn't think I had any patience whatsoever. Go figure.
