Your Independence Level: High You are extremely self reliant and autonomous.
You are definitely into doing your own thing.
But you also wouldn't turn down help if you needed it.
You follow your own path, but you don't do so blindly.

You Are 88% Real
There's hardly a person on this earth more real than you are.
You have no problem showing people who you are, flaws and all.
For you, there couldn't be any other way. Because it's way too stressful to live an inauthentic life.
You're very comfortable with yourself. And because of this, you're able to live an exciting, interesting, and challenging life.

As said, I think that everyone's experience is different. You might be overwhelmed, you might simply be overwhelmed with the details of getting started, all the paperwork, computers, research courses you have to do, if required, etc., and just getting settled into a new routine. I remember the first article I read for my literature review and taking a deep breath and feeling soooo overwhelmed--and then thought, its one article or one book chapter or whatever at a time. Just READ. Start. and after doing three articles in my first go, well, I thought, thats my big toe dipped in the water, and see, how hard was it to get started? I think the most important thing to remember is to break down whatever task you are doing in to manageable bites...whatever size those might be for you, and to realize you will have very productive days and really off days.

Your Mind is 29% Cluttered
Your mind is very free. You've liberated yourself from most worries and problems.
And even if something does start to clutter your mind, you're easily able to let it go.


For a PhD student, is this good? Is this bad? Should I be even more cluttered?

I always use Times New Roman!!! Although its sort of a standard font for doing papers, etc..! How funny!

You Are Times New Roman You are formal and conservative. You're concerned with how you appear to others.
For you, maintaining a good reputation is important. You want people to trust you.

Elegant and classy, you always maintain your composure. You are never crass.
You are professional, competent, and upstanding. And it shows!

What is wrong with me today, I cannot get going...or sustain it. Now I am enjoying Monsterpiece Theatre on Youtube, about to watch the Taming of the Shoe!
