    Also known as shy kidneys, bashful bladder, stage fright, urophobia, psychogenic urinary retention, and Paruresis. I have a mild case of it myself, can't use urinals if someone is using one on the same wall as me.

    I was the same, but I got over it. Now I really enjoy getting my wang out in public.

    Bullshit! Based on talking with ya I think you have charisma oozing out of ya!
    Seriously. You are a great conversationalist.
    Like, I'm highly skilled in the art of sticking my foot in my mouth, particularly when talking to females.
    That must taste bad. It's also highly unsanitary if you have shoes on. However, it is a skill, because you must be incredibly flexible to pull that off.

    I think it can only be called a weakness if it you have a large amount of it, like more than you should.

    A little competition is great! Things are a bit boring without it!

    Well, there are people for whom everything is a competition. Those people are prone to extreme one-upsmanship. That would definitely be a weakness.
  • I just took a test for this at work. For the most part I agreed with the assessment.

    I'm interested in what you all do with the list of weaknesses. What if I don't want to fix any of them or don't feel the need to? What's the best way to go about changing something vague like 'not detail oriented?

    Create a process that forces you to focus on details when you approach tasks. It will compensate for your natural tendencies.

    Get a job where you don't have to worry about all the fine details :-p Good luck with that!

    I have the same problem, I'm in a extremely detailed oriented job and I tend to miss small details... You just have to concentrate more and if it helps checklists to remind you of the small details you miss.

    I kinda have that. I'm an IT Project Manager which means I get to big-picture everything and delegate the details to other team members.

    The analogy I was thinking of is if I had to write use cases for a specific piece of functionality . . . I'd think I was done before I'd even identified half of them. I could probably help this situation by building matrices to help me identify the use cases I'll need to design. This would help me look at it in a big-picture kind of way. It's interesting to think about.

    I don't know if I'd like an emotionally vacant boyfriend, though, even if he was sexy.

    I haven't quite resolved this one yet in my quest for superior manhood. Perhaps I'll get there one day. Constant progress and all that.
