Discover your creative block, its origins, and targeted strategies for unblocking. Generic creativity advice fails because it doesn't address YOUR specific block.

Why do you keep ending up in almost-relationships that never quite become real?

Warning: this quiz might expose that you're the one creating the situationship dynamic.

You've probably heard of attachment styles, but have you been typed correctly? Most people misidentify themselves.

Based on actual psychological research on alcohol's personality effects, this assessment examines your baseline traits to predict how alcohol amplifies, mutes, or transforms them. Share with drinking buddies for maximum chaos. Results include your best drink orders and which drinking games to avoid at all costs.
