The Melancholy as a Parent: (my opinions after the **)
1. Sets high standards **I do this, even Livi can make her own bed at three.
3. Keeps home in good order ***again, Flylady keeps me sane
4. Picks up after children ***what mom doesn't, even though they do most of it
5. Sacrifices own will for others **I am getting better at making time for myself, but with Husband gone it is hard!
6. Encourages scholarship and talent **I try to do this.
The Melancholy as a Friend
7. Makes friends cautiously **biggest understatement EVER
8. Content to stay in background **I do have to disagree with this one.
9. Avoids causing attention **true....
10. Faithful and devoted ***Very true
11. Will listen to complaints ***Depends what it is about. I find it hard to listen to someone griping about something they can't change. For example: Not a single thing I can do about this deployment. I will listen to my friends and neighbors gripe, but then "Get over it....not a single thing we can do but mark off the days!"
Bonus ones since they were on the list
14. Moved to tears with compassion ***Only if it Aunt Flo is here
Edited to add: This test is based on a book called "Personality Plus: How to Understand Others by Understanding Yourself "(Paperback)by Florence Littauer

You are one brave lady. Those are the sort of strengths that I'd like to have. I'd be moaning all the time; but you're right---you just have to take it one day at a time.
I hope he'll be home soon....
