You scored 44% Attention-desiring, 80% Other-directedness, 75% Attachment-desiring, 64% Emotionality, 45% Romance-seeking, 39% Range, and 66% Secureness.
Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging
Summary: You can do without much acknowledgment and recognition, and you enjoy spending time alone. Nevertheless, you make an effort to hold onto your few friendships, which satisfy you the most when they are close and intense (but you don't want them to be that way all the time). Your social life is important but definitey not the foundation on which your self-esteem rests. The Low-Maintenance Friend is the type most likely to act as a shoulder for platonic, opposite-gendered friends to cry on about their relationship woes; self-reliant as you are, you often don't get why your lovelorn friends can't just DTMFA.

I gotta be honest these results don't make much sense to me. But the summary sounds pretty much dead on.

You scored 25% Attention-desiring, 91% Other-directedness, 29% Attachment-desiring, 41% Emotionality, 35% Romance-seeking, 19% Range, and 49% Secureness.

Your Bonding Quadrant: Distant
Summary: You can do without much acknowledgment and recognition, and you enjoy spending time alone. You don't get too close* or put much effort into keeping particular people in your life. Although you do take some interest in others, your shyness may prevent you from acting on that interest.

Hm.

*That's mostly what's true out of that particular sentence. I don't get too close because my close relationships with people typically haven't ended well, but I'm working on opening myself up again, regardless of my fears of what might happen if I take down my walls and let people in... Also, I guess that I've lost a fair amount of people, so in an attempt to negate the possibility that I'd lose someone close, I don't let myself get all that close to anyone. Not a great idea, then one loses out on not only bad, but also the good and everything inbetween. In regards to how I feel about people in general, though, I strongly focus on them, their needs, and their happiness, AKA, put in effort. I still have trouble forging those bonds, but I care enough to not neglect their well-being, no matter how close (or not close) I'm willing to let myself get to them.

Shyness preventing me from acting on those interests? *blush* yeah.
