コメント付きポイント
1. 私の国は絶望的だ。移住したい！
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates focusing on the negative, generalizing, black and white thinking, playing the victim – especially if you live in Europe, North America or other moderately developed parts of the world. Even if you emigrated, you may not end up in better conditions. Your life depends primarily on your proactivity and behavior, less on where you live – especially now, with the whole internet on your disposal. There are also many good people around you, if you pay attention to them. You might feel more fulfilled if you focus on how you can work on stimulating and improving the quality of life in your country. Note: a decision to emigrate is not by itself immature; this questions refers to complaining and generalizing.
2. 私の国は歴史の中で特別な位置を占めている。
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+2
Explanation: “Yes” indicates tribal mentality, following biological need for power, a need to feel better than others (without actually doing much to distinguish yourself constructively), arrogance, lack of knowledge of history.
3. The situation in my country is the government’s fault.
はい: +1, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates feeling like a victim, possible lack of responsibility or initiative, perhaps lack of knowledge. Perhaps you project your anger with parents and other early authorities onto the government.
The government is guilty if it steals, is corrupted or makes bad decisions. However, a big part of responsibility is on citizens (if they are lazy, passive, borrow money to spend it instead of investing it, choose their representatives based on superficial criteria…). Also, the world economy and politics influence every country.
4. If my intimate relationship is not perfect, it’s not the right one for me.
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
解説：（誰かに）完璧を求めるということは、おそらく親の代わりを探すということだ。多くの場合、自分自身の責任を避けたり、認識しなかったりすることも含まれる。あなたの期待は、マスメディアによって形成されたものかもしれない。健全な人間関係には不満、意見の相違、衝突がつきものですが、互いを尊重し、違いを受け入れ、冷静なコミュニケーションと責任を果たすことで解決します。
5. ベジタリアンは愚かだ。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates lack of knowledge, prejudice, generalizing, black and white thinking, lack of tolerance for different beliefs. While you certainly don’t have to agree with other people’s choices, labeling them as “stupid” because you disagree with them shows immaturity.
6. 肉食の人々は攻撃的で、共感や良心が欠如している。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates lack of knowledge, prejudice, generalizing, black and white thinking, lack of tolerance for different beliefs. It might indicate playing the victim and looking for somebody to project your anger with your parents to. It’s pointless to blame people for the way nature created things.
7. 私の子供は特別なのです。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates competitiveness, comparing yourself to others, false feeling of importance, seeking external approval. You might have great expectation of your children to compensate for your own lack of self-esteem and disappointments. You might idealize your child and ignore other people and their boundaries while fulfilling your child’s desires. You might avoid setting healthy boundaries to your child. You might be in danger of unintentionally committing emotional incest.
8. 宇宙が私の面倒を見てくれる。
はい: +1, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき: 0
Explanation: Dear New-Agers, sorry to shake your tree! This is a pleasant and comforting idea, but may indicate: passivity, lack of critical thinking, avoiding responsibility and proactivity, searching for a parent substitute. If you are adult, it’s your responsibility to be proactive in your life. Besides, it might be a bit arrogant to believe that you know how the universe works.
9. I compare my body with other people’s bodies.
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: it’s OK to like your body. But if you have chosen this as a measure of your confidence amongst all other possible values, it’s likely that you do not invest enough time and effort in other parts of your life. Perhaps you judge people by superficial criteria. Perhaps you are manipulated by mass-media. The same is true if the comparison results in self-criticism, too.
10. 貧しくてホームレスの人たちが、自分たちをそういう状態にしてしまった。
はい：+2、いいえ：+1、たぶん/ときどき+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates lack of knowledge, prejudice, generalizing, lack of compassion, perhaps avoiding social responsibility. On the other hand, “No” can indicate feeling like a victim, passivity or oversimplifying. An individual’s life is complex – influenced by upbringing, culture, external circumstances, coincidence, politics and/or irresponsible powerful individuals – but also by his or her own decisions made from day to day.
11. 人間は往々にして動物よりもたちが悪い。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates exaggerating, generalizing, black and white thinking, lack of knowledge or ignoring the facts. Fraud, manipulation, killing because of sex or territory (including killing cubs), fighting for power, rape, slavery, scapegoats etc. exist among various animals of the same species, especially more intelligent mammals. Some animals might be friendly to humans if they see them as providers of food and safety (or if bred specifically for friendliness), but it they saw you as competition, they would act quite differently.
Also, consider the number of people who strive to overcome their primitive instincts and act in unselfish ways. There are plenty, even if it’s easier to notice those who are aggressive.
もちろん、現実には人間の方が動物よりもはるかに独創的な犯罪を犯している。しかし、これは人間の性質が悪いからではなく、人間の高い創造性、技術、そして権力争いの新しい方法が絶えず発明される人間社会の複雑さの結果なのだ。私たちは皆、同じ自然の一部なのだ。
12. I’m often angry with my parents for what they did to me.
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき: 0
説明：かなりの数の人が怒りを感じる理由を持っているが、怒りは、おそらくあなたが幼少期からの未解決の他の強い感情、おそらく無力感、罪悪感、羞恥心、不適格感などを抱えていることを示している。これは理解できるが、そうした感情を解決することで、あなたの人生や人間関係は大きく改善するだろう。成熟の証は、完璧でない両親や過去を過去として受け入れられるようになることだ。
13. My partner left me for another person. I’m angry at both of them. I hope they will experience the same. (Remember or imagine such a situation.)
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
説明別れが楽しいものであることはめったにない。しかし、怒りや執念深さは、独占欲、共感性の欠如、支配的行動、相手への感情的依存、および／または転移（親への感情が相手に投影される）を示している。あなたは、自分自身の責任や、関係の悪化にどのように貢献したかを考えていない可能性が高い。関係がうまくいっていれば、浮気はめったに起こらない。
We cannot always control emotions. People change, or perhaps they haven’t been as compatible as they thought they were from the start. It’s different if your partner deceived or otherwise abused you. That means your partner was immature anyway. If you didn’t notice lies and immaturity on time, did you pay enough attention? Did you tolerate immaturity because you were immature yourself?
14. 女性は女性らしく、男性は男性らしくあるべきだ。
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: What does this even mean? Each of us is genetically unique, so it makes sense that there are all kinds of differences among people of the same gender. “Yes” indicates rigidity, shallowness, controlling behavior, prejudice, fear of change and difference, lack of tolerance and lack of compassion for others. This statement in essence indicates a desire to control others so that you’d be enabled to play the role you desire. If you want to give a limiting and subservient role to someone else, don’t be surprised when they don’t want to play it.
15. フェミニズムは時代遅れだ。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates lack of knowledge, prejudice, lack of compassion, not paying attention to the world around you. Perhaps you confuse feminism with militant, aggressive feminism, which indicates generalizing and black and white thinking. Patriarchate is still very present even in developed countries, although maybe in more subtle ways than stoning and acid attacks.
Feminism will be outdated when: women receive the same salaries for same qualifications as well as the same chances of promotion; when movies, TV shows and other mass media start focusing on women’s accomplishments instead of their looks, sexuality and intimate relationships; when media cease to glorify violent, egotistic and promiscuous behavior as “manly”; when sharing housework and child care becomes normal if both parents work; when women are not presented as sexual objects in the media (and instead are presented as experts and authorities as often as men); when industries stop focusing on profit only and take care of environment and social justice as well… and so on, the list is long.
16.みんな自分のことしか考えていない。
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+2
Explanation: This is a common excuse of politicians and (other) criminals for their unethical behavior. Many people use this excuse for less-than-ethical behavior on a lesser scale. The fact is, most people (science says about 65%) simply want a dignified life and cooperation with their community.”Yes” indicates avoiding responsibility, prejudice, black and white thinking, lack of compassion, lack of awareness of consequences of your behavior for yourselves and others.
17. If people let themselves be manipulated, it’s their own fault.
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
説明10と16を参照。人を操ると決めた人は、その結果に対して第一義的な責任を負う。巧妙で手の込んだ操作の中には、賢くて責任感のある人でも騙されてしまうものもある。騙されてしまう人の中には、若く、経験が浅く、信頼に厚く、寛大で、思いやりがあり、あるいは年を取って認知能力を失っている人もいるかもしれない。あるいは愚かであっても、遺伝的な潜在能力の欠如は彼らの責任ではない。
18. パートナーがいなければ、私の人生は意味を失ってしまう。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
説明別れても悲しむのは構わないが、絶望するのは健全ではない。成熟した人は、自分がパートナーに依存していないことを認識し、自分の外側ではなく内側に充足感を探します。
19. 子供を作らないと決めた人は、利己的で愛することができない。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates prejudice, lack of tolerance for differences, black and white thinking. Child-bearing can also be motivated by selfish and immature reasons, while the opposite decision might well be a result of an informed and responsible attitude, especially regarding the overcrowding of the Earth. Not everybody is equally talented for anything, parenting included. People who don’t have parental instincts might give a great contribution in some other area of life (Nikola Tesla, for example).
20. It’s important to me to be noticed.
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates need for power, feeling special, arrogance, a competitive attitude and/or shallowness. You might be seeking for external approval and external sources of self-confidence, instead of building your self-esteem from within.
21. It’s important to me to be able to afford luxuries.
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: see entries 9 and 20. Also, “Yes” can indicate pliability, lack of creativity, lack of originality.
22. みんな私の気持ちを理解してくれるはずだ。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: Are you willing to do the same for others? People usually have many of their own issues and are conditioned by their upbringing and past experiences. Nobody can read your mind. Perhaps you do not show clearly how do you feel? Your responsibility is to communicate clearly. “Yes” indicates playing the victim, avoiding responsibility, lack of compassion for others, perhaps egotism. “Sometimes” can be OK, to include the possibility of truly inconsiderate behavior of specific other people.
23. 世界はますます悪くなっている。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates focusing on the negative, generalizing, black and white thinking, playing the victim. In the past, we would never have heard of much of injustice, crime and immaturity in the world. Much behavior that we consider unacceptable now would have been normal or even expected in the past. Today, there is more and more awareness of need for tolerance, accepting differences, social justice, ecology and compassion. There is more and more knowledge and information, more and more chance to be creative and free.
24. I don’t have the power to change much in the world.
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates playing the victim, avoiding responsibility, generalizing. This kind of thinking causes passivity and allows loud minority and predators to prevail. Perhaps you cannot have a big influence on the world, but even a small one can mean a lot.
25. 親密な関係は私の欲求を満たすものでなければならない。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates that your relationship with yourself is not healthy enough. Perhaps you try to escape yourself. Seeking a solution in another person, means we don’t feel worthy or able enough to create a fulfilling life. A mature person will primarily focus on finding fulfillment within. The rest is a cherry on a cake.
26. スマートな服装や素敵なメイクは、自分自身を好きであることを意味する。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: Caring for your personal style is OK by itself. Healthy self esteem doesn’t mean letting yourself go or not enjoying nice clothes. However, self-esteem and external good looks are two separate categories. Mental and emotional association between those two categories is a result of manipulation by Cosmopolitan and similar media for selling clothes and cosmetics. It also indicates the influence of a patriarchal society, which focuses on women’s looks (more and more it’s sold to men, too) as a way to be be noticed and appreciated, instead of creativity and courage.
27. 自尊心とは、常に他人が聞くべきことを話すことだ。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+0
Explanation: “Yes” indicates black and white thinking, simplifying, need for power, lack of awareness of your own feelings. It might be an excuse for arrogance, aggression or avoiding responsibility for how you communicate. Indicates artificial self-esteem, seeking instant solutions instead of responsible self-improvement. “Sometimes” is fine, as long as you take all the facts and points of view into consideration and express yourself in reasonable, constructive ways.
28. 両親は私に人生を与えてくれた。 私の人生の最初の場所で。私と彼らの間には誰も入ってこない！
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: “Yes” indicates generalizing, idealizing parents, black and white thinking, tribal mentality, rigidity, possible dependence of parental approval. You were likely conditioned by guilt. It is healthy for a child to be grateful to parents, but not to subject other important relationships to them. It is not healthy for a child to feel in debt to parents. Maturity means respecting and considering all people equally, regardless of their relationship to you.
29. 私はいつも自分の気持ちに従う。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+1 / 0 (説明を参照)
Explanation: “Yes” indicates prejudice, rigidity, possible shallowness. You might have developed only some parts of your character. Perhaps you didn’t learn to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy emotions. You might be gullible. If you ignore or disparage your rational mind, you deny yourself an important source of information. A sign of maturity is in finding the balance between emotions and ratio.
“Sometimes” brings 0 points only if you had in mind moderate, balanced emotions and situations that do not carry important consequences. Otherwise, take +1 point.
30. 本当に私を愛してくれる人なら、私が必要としているものを認めてくれる。
はい：+2、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: Even people who love you, grew up in different circumstances and cannot read your mind. “Yes” indicates: exaggerated expectations, seeking a parent substitute, avoiding responsibility for clear communication. Perhaps you are influenced by Hollywood romance movies. You might not have developed healthy boundaries. You might resort to manipulation and criticism if such expectations are not fulfilled.
31. It’s not my fault if people are upset or irritated with my behavior.
はい: +3, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+1 / 0 (説明を参照)
Explanation: You are not directly responsible for others’ feelings, but you are responsible to carefully examine your behavior and find a balance between yourself and your environment. “Yes” indicates: aggressiveness, egotism, lack of compassion, arrogance, irresponsibility.
“Sometimes” brings 0 points only if you had in mind manipulative, victim-like people, or those who are prone to exaggerating and childish behavior. However, even then it is wise to check if your behavior was mature.
32. Without religion, people wouldn’t have a moral guide.
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+2
Explanation: As we are social animals (i.e. evolved to have instincts for social cohesion), empathy, cooperation and sense of justice are a part of our biological heritage. Parents can raise highly moral children without influence of religion (my own experience). It is more important to teach empathy than dogma to a child. “Yes” indicates: prejudice, lack of knowledge, pliability, rigidity, lack of independent thinking. These might result in hypocrisy.
33. 内向的で真面目な人はつまらない。人生は楽しくあるべきだ。
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+1
Explanation: Not all people are stimulated by the same things. Some find a wealth of experience within rather than only in the outside world. “Yes” indicates prejudice, shallowness, generalizing, arrogance, dependence of external stimulation. You might be focused on short-term pleasure rather than long-term happiness. You might be egotistic and disrespectful to others.
34. 論理は感情に勝る。
はい: +2, いいえ: 0, たぶん/ときどき：+1 / 0 (説明を参照)
Explanation: “Yes” indicates rigidity, prejudice, possible shallowness. You might have developed only some aspects of your character. Perhaps you avoid your feelings or your parents taught you that emotions are not acceptable. You might have patriarchal beliefs. You deny yourself an important source of information. A sign of maturity is in finding the balance between emotions and ratio.
“Sometimes” brings 0 points if you had in mind only childish, exaggerated, pathetic emotions. If you had in mind any emotions, take +1.
35. I am the way I am and it’s too late for me to change.
はい：+3、いいえ：0、たぶん/ときどき+2
Explanation: “Yes” indicates avoiding responsibility, using the path of least resistance, laziness, lack of awareness of the consequences of your behavior.
