Encountered one of those polls offering choices that are not necessarily opposed:

"Keep things in their original state.

Make changes, even if only for the sake of change."

Depends if the current state suits my goals.

"I am very excited when I meet new people; I can talk to anyone about various topics.

If I am around people who I am not familiar with, I will feel a bit uncomfortable; some people consider me to be restrained and reserved."

Yes.

"My social circle is very wide. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances.

I have very close relationships with a small amount of people. I am very cautious and serious when I choose my friends."

Yes: Social circle is not the same as close relationship.

"I focus on the outer world.

I focus my attention internally. I spend lots of time on introspection."

Pardon me while I throat-punch the author of this quiz.

Meta-analysis of therapies. I recall that as well, basically implying that a therapist can be good despite having a "bankrupt" philosophy regarding psychology. Though I also agree with ethelmay's comment.

Yes, it's the Dodo Award - "everyone has won and all must have prizes." Or, in more serious terms, therapy is better than no therapy; 40% of outcome seems to be attributable to the therapeutic alliance between client and therapist, so if you have a good working alliance, you can get some movement on stuck problems a good bit of the time.

Which is not the same as actually getting help that is useful long-term, but it's something.
