: I agree--Jenny, are you sure you're not a 3 rather than a 2 or 4? This type of thing almost makes me sick--reading jokes and intellectual things just to be able to impress people and be liked.

: It recently hit me the importance of the difference between IMpress and EXpress. When you express yourself, you are showing the world who you really are. When you try to impress others, you are showing them someone you think they want you to be. When you impress rather than express, you lose touch with who you are.

The "3" came in seventh place both times I took the test (tie in one instance.) It's too bad that it makes you sick, but it is what many school kids go through (and some adults.) Each person must find his or her own way to being comfortable with themselves. And impressing others does not cause you to lose touch with yourself if *you* are impressing them. You just need to get to a point where you can show *you* without insecurity cloaking the evidence.
