Assess the Difference Between Your Outer Appearance and Your Inner Self
As the saying goes, what’s in a person’s heart isn’t written on their face. What you show on the outside doesn’t always reflect who you really are. Your true self often lies deep within—others may glimpse parts of it as they get closer, but rarely the whole. Sometimes even we aren’t sure which version is our truest self. If you’re curious, take this quiz to see how your outward persona differs from your inner self.
Test Question: If you were an older adult feeling lonely and there were many community groups to help you connect, which would you choose to join?
A. Dance Club
If you chose this, you come across as laid-back, unbothered by a lot, and very understanding. But people who spend time with you learn that you have firm principles—once you take a stand, you’re hard to sway and can be quite stubborn about your beliefs.
B. Mahjong Club
If you chose this, you look tough on the outside but are soft at heart. To people who don’t know you, you can seem authoritative and in charge, like a leader. Once they get closer, though, they find you’re caring—like a big brother or sister—and you show a gentle, considerate side with your partner.
C. Drama Club
If you chose this, you may seem lively and easygoing, but it’s actually not easy to become your friend. You’re drawn to people who are attractive, poised, and well-mannered; you’re quite selective about your friendships.
D. Hiking Club
If you chose this, you might come across as flirty and sensual, but that’s not who you are deep down. You’re actually quite shy about intimacy and not the type to be very open about it.
