Simple Cognitive Functions Quiz
Which of the following best fits you under stress? This should be out-of-character behaviour that only manifests when you are stressed out.
My mind starts to wander, I feel flustered when dealing with details - which I'm usually good with, and I forget things a lot. I internalise cues from the environment and interpret them as negative possibilities, such as the way people look at me. I have visions and premonitions about the future. I find myself searching for deeper meanings in things I usually wouldn't give much thought to.
I have a hard time attending to relevant factual information in order to produce rational conclusions - something I'm usually 'on-the-ball' with. I get a little spontaneous and make decisions impulsively that I later regret - such as purchasing things I don't need, or saying things I don't truly mean to say. I lose my groundings to reality and the present moment, and anticipate all of the dark, terrible possibilities that the future might bring.
I withdraw from the world, get depressive and feel hopeless. I become obsessed with details I would usually consider to be trivial - such as organising my environment or remembering certain dates. I develop a kind of tunnel-vision as I narrow in on one particular most likely negative possibility in any given situation. I project these negative thoughts about the present moment into the future, as I imagine this depression will never end, or I imagine a migraine I am enduring will last for weeks. I find myself focusing far more on physical self than I usually do.
I become obsessive about facts and details in the real world. I try to control my environment. I get self-centered and self-indulgent. I overeat.. I binge drink, or binge watch shows etc.. anything to escape reality.. I distrust reality, and get suspicious of people.. I feel like I'm hypersensitive to my surroundings and see potential danger in everything - people, things.. I get really paranoid the real world is out to get me.
I get very sensitive with regards to my own and others emotions, sometimes misinterpreting what they say as personal attacks on myself. I worry a lot about losing control of things out in public, or at work - and this means I can sometimes take this stress out on something or someone back at home. I get uncharacteristically silent, I withdraw, I get moody, I feel depressed and downtrodden- this is because I'm fighting internally with my emotions, trying to keep them inside, to prevent them from bubbling over the surface.
I start to engage in excessively logical, unproductive thinking - I become extremely nit-picky about things such as grammar, or logical inconsistencies, even when they don't actually matter in relation to achieving the end result. I tend to get emotionally hypersensitive which is very different compared to my usual cool, calm, collected and detached self. I open up a little more about my feelings than normal.. I can get a little more loud, and sociable, than I usually am as well.
I make a big fuss about what is stressing me out, I slam doors, yell, criticise other people and say things that others perceive as blunt and cruel. I get physically agitated when stressed out, I feel tense, grit my teeth, clench my fists.. I do things that make sure other people know I'm not happy. I create a negative atmosphere around myself. I become critical. My thinking becomes narrow-minded, and I focus on solving problems on my own, rather than include others. I come to conclusions that aren't really based on facts or reality, and believe them wholeheartedly, to be the truth - speaking of which, I become fanatical about proving this truth, and can find myself devouring books and information as I search for evidence to support my admittedly unrealistic conclusions.
I become sensitive to the mistakes other people make, and start seeing incompetence all around me - in myself, my friends, my family, my work colleagues, my boss, my teachers.. in everyone. I become aggressively judgmental and cynical. My sense of humour becomes negative and takes on an uncharacteristic 'bite'. I take action to pre-emptively correct imaginary mistakes or incompetence in others, this can leave me looking the fool as I find I have misread the situation due to not seeking out enough, or any, real world, concrete information to support my conclusions.
