The Genuinely Sane Individual
Are you genuinely sane? Answer these questions and find out. These are taken from S. I. Hayakaw's article entitled "The Fully Functioning Personaility". Don't peak - the answers are found at this link. If you are interested in why those are characteristic of a sane person then go to the article by S. I. Hayakawa referenced at the above link and find out.
1. Are you well-adjusted?
2. Are your feelings, emotions, resentments, tensions, attractions and dislikes accessible to your awareness?
3. Do you know a lot about yourself or a little?
4. Can you be comfortable with doubt, uncertainty, indefiniteness, approximations, inexactitude, or inaccuracies?
5. Do you see the difference along with similarities within categories?
6. Do you function at the high or low level of abstraction (do you see sunsets as sunsets, or is each one separately unique)?
7. Do you appreciate life at the animal level: hungry, lusty, and capable of enjoying yourself with great appetite mightlily without unnecessary inhibitions or regret?
8. Is most of what you do in life primarily motivated by the outcome or goal?
9. Are you creative in your own way in most of what you do in life?
10. Do you suffer ever from anxiety, fear, doubt and foreboding?

These questions are too subjective. "Are you well adjusted?" "Do you appreciate..." The delusional among us (and there are many)are not capable of honestly answering such questions. I suggest people find a friend and ask that friend to answer for them. Now we're getting somewhere!

You are indeed on to something. One definition of self-image, self-concept is the answer to the question: what do other people think of you?
