Aptitude test- maybe a bit blunt
So my parents made me do an aptitude test when I was 15. They didn't state my IQ or anything, but did say what career I should go into (they got that part right).
There was a comment sections that I've never paid too much attention too, mostly because it was in another language and my skills in this language were basic.
Well, I cleared our some things and came across this test today. I read the comments and my word, it was actually so harsh considering I was only 15.
And side story, I'm the typical middle child and was diagnosed with depression two years after this test.
Anyway, I read it and it said things like I was too self aware and that made me a perfectionist and overly depressed. While I was dependent (which I had to be because I was treated horribly), I was sensitive to criticism (mostly because it wasn't constructive). They did mention I was generous and kind, and had intelligent aspirations but because of my lack of belonging my future was poor. They also said I was hostile and suppressing aggression.
It was mostly negative, with literally only one nice comment.
Like I read and thought, that's so harsh for a 15 years old. Even if they had insight as to why I was that way, to say I had a poor future and was hostile is a bit blunt.
No wonder my parents wanted it in a different language.
But it made me very sad that that's how people saw me at that age. No wonder I didn't remain friends with any of my high school friends.
