01I notice what is wrong or imprecise before I notice what is good.

02I hold myself to standards most people would find punishing.

03I sense what others need and provide it, often before being asked.

04Being needed matters more to me than being admired.

05I measure myself by what I have accomplished.

06I adjust how I present myself so I read as impressive.

07I feel fundamentally different from other people.

08I am drawn to what is missing and to melancholy beauty.

09I withdraw to gather knowledge before I engage.

10My energy and time feel like limited resources to protect.

11I mentally rehearse what could go wrong so I am prepared.

12Trust is something I test carefully and grant slowly.

13I keep several exciting options open at once.

14I move quickly away from pain toward the next good thing.

15I would rather confront directly than tiptoe.

16I instinctively protect people who cannot protect themselves.

17I merge with others' preferences and lose track of my own.

18Keeping the peace is worth some of my own discomfort.
