How Pragmatic Are You?
Test Question: Below are four types of dolls. Think back: which one did you like most as a child?
A:
B:
C:
D:
A: Cloth Doll
Choosing this option suggests your drive is on the lower side. It’s not that you don’t want success, but fear of failure—or of the responsibility that comes with success—keeps your expectations in check. This inner conflict makes it hard to commit fully, so success can be elusive. Push past that hesitation and you’ll be able to immerse yourself in your efforts and enjoy the rewards of success.
B: Wooden Doll
Choosing this option points to a moderate level of ambition. You pursue what matters to you; what you value may not match conventional ideas of achievement, but it’s what you enjoy. Regardless of others’ opinions, if you believe in what you’re doing, you’ll stick with it and find your own kind of satisfaction.
C: Inflatable Doll
Choosing this option indicates strong ambition. You care about how you measure up and aim to be the best, unwilling to be outdone. That mindset drives you to work hard so you won’t be surpassed; however, without worthy rivals, your motivation may fade. For a more relaxed, happier life, ease up on comparisons and focus on your own goals and needs.
D: Soft Plastic Doll
Choosing this option suggests very strong ambition. You may see a person’s worth primarily in wealth and status, driving you to seek more money and higher standing. Along the way, you risk losing your sense of self and living for others’ approval. In reality, money and status are fragile—what you have today can be gone tomorrow. The insights and wisdom you gain from life are what stay with you.
