Quiz: Are You Born to Be a Workaholic?
Psychological Test Question: Imagine you meet a magician who can erase one unpleasant memory from your mind. If you had to pick one of the four options below, which memory would you choose to erase?
A:
B:
C:
D:
A: Embarrassing childhood memories
Psychological Test Result: Choosing this option suggests you’re a hard worker. You have a strong drive to excel and set ambitious goals, and you push yourself to reach them, so hard work is a given for you. Still, even with a busy schedule, you make time to enjoy life and don’t let yourself get overwhelmed.
B: A partner's infidelity
Psychological Test Result: Choosing this option suggests you’re likely to live a relatively easygoing life. You’re naturally laid-back with modest material needs; as long as you have enough, you’re content. You won’t run yourself ragged chasing every desire. You may not pursue big achievements, but your life will be more relaxed and pleasant.
C: Being turned down after confessing your feelings
Psychological Test Result: Choosing this option indicates you’re a hard worker by nature. Your inner drive is strong, and it’s hard to feel satisfied with what you have; whenever you reach something good, you want more. You spend your life striving and find it difficult to pause and enjoy the moment.
D: Past mistakes
Psychological Test Result: Choosing this option suggests the most demanding part of your life is mental rather than physical. You tend to worry a lot—about your own issues and other people’s—which leads to constant overthinking. Even though your mind is always busy, you don’t often turn those thoughts into action.
