Name thingy

# You are first of all a profoundly sensitive and emotional individual in whom everything echoes and leaves a deep mark. This great sensitiveness accounts for your reservations and your touchiness. During all your life, you try to avoid or defuse situations of tension or of conflict. You flee quarrels and disputes as you do bubonic plague. You'd readily accept to lose face or money rather than to displease others.
First part is okay. Second, not so much. While I don't enjoy disputes, I do not flee from them and I try to fix whatever is wrong.

# In feeling vulnerable, you constantly mobilize your energies in taking precautions. For if you allowed yourself to indulge in sensitiveness, one could make short work of you! If you feel the need to protect yourself by not embarking on any adventure, you deem that you only make use of perfectly legitimate prudence.
Again, the first part works: I tend to plan for eventualities whether I think I'll need them or not. And if I need down time, I'll take it. But I don't think it has to do with avoiding vulnerability..

# You cannot but react in a very emotional manner to your environment. Your sentiments, your feelings will always play an important role in your life. But it's up to you to canalize them, for instance to express them only at the right moment. In such conditions, the permanence of your emotions can be your force; but it can also, most evidently, be a handicap for you.
This I will grant and I'm still working on it (especially when I am stressed), but I've become more able to compartmentalize so emotion matters less. OTOH, my insistence on taking responsibility for my shit while it's my shit has served me very well.

# Profoundly attached to childhood, you have more difficulty than any other individual accepting to cut the apron strings and to emerge into the world of adults. Your subconscious is wholly related to prime infancy. Your regret of an ever-lost past gives way to an intense imaginative life through which you try to find faraway sensations and emotions again, or to construct a world which would resemble lost paradise.
Not remotely. I moved out at 17 and was fully self-supporting at 19. I could not wait to move out and be an adult and I value adulthood highly.

# You're incapable of maliciousness. Praised or maligned, caressed or beaten, your reaction is always this smile that some people could sometimes find stupid. Never hurting even a fly, it's impossible for you to believe that there may exist unscrupulous persons who could do you harm as they find in you an almost willing victim.
I'm not malicious (although I don't think I can claim that I'm incapable of malice), but I'm far from stupid about malice and a lot more suspicious of it than this makes me sound.

# You abhor lies, duplicity, and value your reputation of integrity and sincerity as you do the apple of your eye. Your tolerance is legendary. But you should beware of your excessive naiveté and credulity. Indeed, you're very much inclined to take for gospel truth all that people tell you, thereby exposing yourself to numerous troubles and disappointments.
This one I'll grant wholeheartedly. I am the original "Did you know that the word 'gullible" is not in the dictionary?" girl.

So it matches for one trait. Not quite good enough for me to buy into it. :)
