You Scored as Necrophilous
You are likely a "Necrophilous" character. Necrophiles do not take pleasure in lively things: sometimes they find joy in inflicting pain on other people and creatures. Many Necrophiles find themselves drawn to the military, and believe that violence is necessary. The necrophile finds little to love in life and finds subjective or nihilist philosophies very appealing.

This test is horrible IMHO

You Scored as Productive
You are a "Productive" character. This is the "man without a mask," the person who goes about life with little need for possessions, social status, or exterior authority. The productive person is able to reach out to others and love them without condition. To this person, morality is objective and all people are equals. Productive people know that their possessions are unimportant, and that life, love and freedom are underappreciated. Productive people are often the great humanist revolutionaries, whose ideas and actions inspire others. Their idealism is sometimes viewed as a vice.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

51% Receptive, 49% Marketing

Receptive orientation: The receptive individual is characterized by a heavy lack of creativity. These people tend to expect things which they desire to come to them and rarely feel confidant in their own abilities. The receptive character is usually very quiet, and finds it hard to make his or her own decisions, relying on the input of others. Often, these people find themselves seeking a parental figure who may take care of them; they tend to be those children that never grew up.
Families with an overbearing, controlling nature often produce people like this. Often the parents either make no attempt to teach their children how to mature, or the children are simply given everything they request without question. Poor, heavily controlled populations such as in feudal Europe can generate a lot of these people.


Marketing orientation: The marketing orientation describes the mindset in which a man perpetally molds himself into society's image in order to fit the expected norms of society. He sees the world as a marketplace, where new symbolizes good and desirous, wheras old becomes ugly and useless to him. Fromm described this mindset as saying, "new is beautiful," as opposed to the historical mindset which has been one of keeping and maintaining possessions for later, commodity - oriented use: "old is beautiful."
Marketing characters exhibit signs of extreme conformity and solve their problems as if they were simply manifestations of the market. These people look for mates as commodities to be scrutinized for positive traits which may have little to do with love, and create barriers between themselves and others defined by abstractions such as religiosity, monetary value and social status. Families which own or manage businesses or encourage conformity and a scholastic focus on the job market - that is, most families in industirialized nations today - tend to create marketing characters. This personality, Fromm said, only started to emerge with contemporary society and its focus on marketability.

[some chair]

For Ath:

You are likely a "Hoarding" character. Fromm describes this character as a cold, obsessive person who finds it hard to change. The hoarder finds it difficult to accept losses of any sort, and relies on a very orderly, static lifestyle. These people prefer conventional methods to creativity, and are often suspicious of others.

Good enough, minus the orderly lifestyle and preference for conventional methods over creativity.
