The last of my happiness lecture notes...of course, before you determine how happy you want to become, you need a measure of how unhappy you are at present. ^^
This is a pretty long questionnaire (46 items, and you have to do it by hand); it'd take you maybe 10-15 minutes: http://www.stressanderos.org/hostility-questionnaire.htm
You get scored in three separate dimensions: Cynicism, Anger, and Aggression. You also get scored in overall Hostility, which combines those three dimensions into one score.
If you're curious, I got Cynicism 5, Anger 5, Aggression 3, and overall Hostility 13. All pretty average scores, with Agression below-average. I was surprised; I feel much more angry than that. ^^; I guess I'm more "brooding" than hostile. Which brings me to the poll question:
39. I recall something that angered me previously.
- A. I feel angry all over again.
- B. The memory doesn't bother me nearly as much as the actual event did.
I'm very, VERY good at re-angering myself. XD If I become angry at you for something you did or said, rest assured that our every successive meeting will re-ignite that fury, and our relationship will be tainted forever. Sounds terrible, but it's true.
The only caveat is that it doesn't work as well online, unless I talk to someone for long enough to have their username burned into my brain. But I guess that's a good thing. ^^'
