The 'difficult person test' measures 7 key traits—here's what to know
The seven traits highlighted in the difficult person test may make someone, well, difficult because the traits come in direct opposition to what makes a relationship healthy, says licensed clinical psychologist. “On the simplest level, all of them are traits that are likely to put a person at odds with other people,” she says. “These are not behaviors that result in what we consider to be the core of a healthy relationship: respect, kindness, compassion, reciprocity, [and] mutuality.
Dr. Durvasula caveats that no matter your test results, you should neither feel sad or proud, because it reflects but a small part of you either way. Plus, no one is going to score zero on the test, because no one’s perfect. And with the help of some introspection, your results can highlight to you where in your life you might have room for improvement.
“At some level, knowing where you fall on that scale might actually show you some vulnerabilities,” says Dr. Durvasula. “For example, you know that there might be hotheadedness, stubbornness, or rigidity… If you learn about that and actually are willing to be vulnerable and self-reflective, you can be more careful [of that].”Dr. Durvasula says callousness, which is characterized by a lack of empathy, can make someone difficult because empathy is a core requirement for healthy relationships.
“Everything's a fight. They've always got their fists up, so there's no warmth with them,” says Dr. Durvasula. “You walk in, and it feels already like you're headed for a fight, so it's almost impossible to create healthy social linkages.”
