What Your Wishes Say About You ?

Be careful what you wish for - it could reveal who you are.

"If you could have three wishes, what would you ask for? Will it be to be healthy and happy? To eat Chinese food at every meal every day for the rest of your life? Examining these wishes and the people who made them, I discovered some interesting connections.

The most common wishes are for friends, happiness, health, marriage, money, success, self-improvement, and to help other people.Although men's and women's wishes were generally similar, men were more likely to wish for love, sex and power, while women were more likely to wish for happiness, a better appearance, and better health.

Extroverted people often wished for happiness and positive feelings, and frequently included other people in their wishes. Neurotic people wishes to be more sociable and more emotionally stable - in other words, to be less n e u r o t i c . The chances of that wish coming true are practically zero.

Those who were already satisfied with their lives were the most likely to believe that their wishes would come true.
