    Test
In summary, the conversation is about taking a test to determine one's emotional response to heartbreak. The test is called "Heart of Reason" and measures variables such as sorrow, wrath, forgetfulness, and reason. The results show that those who scored high in reason are able to forgive and forget and move on, while those who scored high in sorrow or forgetfulness may struggle with dwelling on the past. The conversation also includes personal experiences and reactions to the test results.

Since we've had so many broken hearts lately, I thought this might be a good test to take.

Heart of Reason

You scored 33% sorrow, 13% wrath, 60% forgetfulness, and 60% reason!

"Live and let live, what's done is done."

You are a person who is able to forgive and forget, and then move on. You don't like to dwell on the past. Yet, this may have something to do with the fact that your emotions aren't really strong in the first place. Either way, you can get on with your life as if nothing happened. Sometimes, however, it is better to reflect on your past. You may yet be put into a situation where your emotions will be stronger and you will be unable to reason with them.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 33% on sorrow

You scored higher than 0% on wrath

You scored higher than 33% on forgetfulness

You scored higher than 33% on reason

I'm apparently a bleeding heart, but I think that's because I don't consider it breaking my heart unless I've really fallen deeply in love with someone before they break up, so answered from that perspective. Just regular break-ups and getting turned down are nothing notable, but if I factored that into my answers, it would probably be a pretty different result. *shrugs*

Bleeding Heart
You scored 60% sorrow, 13% wrath, 46% forgetfulness, and 46% reason!
"What becomes of me now...?"

All that remains after a heartbreak is sadness, you are falling apart. You are likely to lapse into a heavy depression, thinking over and over what you did wrong, why it had to be this way, and what you can do now that you lost everything you had. You can't forget, and will probably dwell on it for quite a while. This can be harmful to your mental as well as physical health, so try to find anything that could pull you out of mourning.

I flunked this one. I can't remember the score cos I was waiting for others to post, but I got something like 60% sorrow and 57% reason and 0 on the other two which means I'm stuck perpetually between abject misery and attempting to find out what went wrong.

Oh well look on the brightside at least I'll never forget or get revenge. :rolleyes:
