CHIEF FEATURE

This is your primary stumbling block and it's always a reaction based on fear. You may find a bit of yourself in all of them because most likely you have done them all from time to time. Since you are frequently blind to your own Chief Feature it may be best to consider how someone who knows you would describe you. Other people can always see your Chief Feature.

Instructions:

Select the group of statements that portrays your most typical reaction to the situation described below.

When I get very upset or I am under stress I tend to...

• 
  
  • 1.
  
  
• Have a drink, light up, or take a drug to unwind.
• Feel I'll lose control or my will power and I often do.
• "Cut off my nose to spite my face."
  
  
  
  • 2.
  
  
• Eat, drink, or consume something.
• Feel deprived and believe I can't have what I want to fulfill my needs.
• Go shopping. Buying things always makes me feel better.
  
  
  
  • 3.
  
  
• Feel bad about myself and withdraw.
• Feel like I'm incompetent.
• Blame myself for whatever went wrong.
  
  
  
  • 4.
  
  
• Internalize the problem and my barriers go up.
• Become shy and hide behind a mask of competence.
• Get critical and act a bit superior.
  
  
  
  • 5.
  
  
• Feel trapped by my situation and helpless to get free.
• Feel depressed like there is no escape.

  • 6.
  
  
• Become very intolerant and try to rush ahead.
• Fear I'll not have enough time to get things done.
• Become irritated and sometimes act rashly.
  
  
  • 7.

Key to the Chief Features:
1. Self-destruction
2. Greed
3. Self-deprecation
4. Arrogance
5. Martyrdom
6. Impatience
7. Stubbornness

The Chief Feature is the side of our personality that is governed by ego. It is the primary defense or coping mechanism the personality uses to protect itself, and to protect the physical body to a certain degree. The key to balancing the ego in your life is not by seeking to destroy the chief feature because it is "bad," as it is often judged, but paradoxically, to love and accept the chief feature as a part of yourself with the good intention of protecting your personality. By acknowledging the chief feature when it shows up in your life, you will begin to recognize what fears run you, and you then have the opportunity to make a new choice: love that part of yourself, face your fear, heal it, and thank your chief feature for showing you that part of yourself. This process leads you into True Personality, where all aspects of yourself work in harmony to integrate yourself spiritually, emotionally, physically, and mentally. In this way you become whole.

The result is accurate

Arrogance

100% Arrogance, 53% SelfDep, 60% Martyrdom, 60% SelfDestruction, 27% Stubbornness, 100% Impatience and 47% Greed!

Arrogance is built upon the fear of vulnerability. Vulnerability is painful to those with arrogance and exposes a deep lack of self esteem. Because of this, there is a focus on image presented and presenting a good face to others. Sometimes this can be an outward, "successful" image or it can be a blank wall of "don't look any closer" - it is all built upon the same fear.
Because Arrogance causes a great reluctance to look inward, those who have it often have little idea of what's going on in their deepest psyche. They are, however, very much aware of the image they present. Paradoxically, many of them are drawn to personal growth and end up making efforts to help others.

Impatience

87% Impatience , 53% SelfDep, 40% Martyrdom, 80% SelfDestruction, 27% Stubbornness, 67% Arrogance, and 80% Greed!

87% Impatience , 53% Self Deprecation, 40% Martyrdom, 80% SelfDestruction, 27% Stubbornness, 67% Arrogance, and 80% Greed!
Impatience is the fear of missing out. With impatience, you tend to be never content to relax, to know that you have enough time, that you are complete without doing anything. You can stress yourself out in traffic or in work, trying to be the most efficient that you can be. If you lose connection with your own sense of patience, this can translate into intolerance. Within relationships, you would have a harder time giving as much time and space to the other to just be - instead, you want to rush and do something, perhaps throw your own ideas out. The problem is that if you don't give space, the other person doesn't tend to feel listened to, and the "solution" is really more about pushing the problem away.
More than anyone else, you need to take time out to do nothing. Breathe. Be in the present moment. Do something like taking a long walk in nature. Tap into that timelessness that is outside the rush of modern culture. Your relationships will appreciate it.

...I'm not impatient. Just because I'm aware that the world is busy and has a lot of options doesn't mean I partake in the business or the options.

67% Greed, 60% SelfDestruction, 47% Stubbornness, 40% Arrogance, 40% SelfDep, 33% Martyrdom, and 33% Impatience

Greed is built upon the fear of loss, upon the perception of "I have something now but it won't exist at some future point for me". Remember that have within them the knowledge that things are impermanent, that things change. This is the law of impermanence, as described by the Pali wordannicha.

Those with Greed have an almost palpable emptiness within that they attempt to fill via external means. This "filling" doesn't have to be with material things, though it often is. It can be via attention, respect, success, or other amorphous measurements. The key fact is that there is never enough of whatever you try to fill that "hole" with. You have a tendency to never feel complete, in and of yourself.

i agree. the avarice runs deep in me. it's not material, however.

 

i relate to #2, 3, 5 and less often 6 in the below list.

Eat, drink, or consume something.
Feel deprived and believe I can't have what I want to fulfill my needs.
Go shopping. Buying things always makes me feel better.

#3 (in general, not cutting myself a break, self-punishing)
Feel bad about myself and withdraw.
Feel like I'm incompetent.
Blame myself for whatever went wrong.

#5. (in general, feeling like a victim)
Feel trapped by my situation and helpless to get free.
Feel depressed like there is no escape.
Feel others society manipulated me into this negative situation.

#6. (this one represents a total break down--severe stress)
Become very intolerant and try to rush ahead.
Fear I'll not have enough time to get things done.
Become irritated and sometimes act rashly.
