Psycho-Geometrics: Try this personality test based on geometric shapes

Dr. Susan Dellinger is the author of the Psycho-Geometrics system of communication. Her system combines the science of understanding people with the art of influencing them. Dr. Ellinger has acted as a consultant for many high-profile corporations, offering workshops designed to improve communications among staff through the implementation of her unique method of understanding human communication.

According to Dr. Dellinger’s system, your personality may be associated with one of the following basic shapes: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, or squiggle.

As a test subject, you respond to the question, Which of the five shapes best describes you as a person? Your choice will be an indication of your personality type. When you do the test at the link below you will be amazed at how accurately the system categorizes your personality.

Of course, this system of geometric psychology is useful for identifying the beliefs, values and attitudes of employers, co-workers, employees, customers, spouses, and children. Armed with this critical information, you are in a position to modify your communication style in order to relate effectively to other people in your life.

The End of Suffering--Healthy Retirement


This website relates to the book titled The End of Suffering, written by Russell Targ and J.J. Hurtak. Russell Targ, a physicist and psychical researcher, worked at the Lockheed Martin Corporation. He observed that many of the engineers who worked for the company died soon after retirement. He concluded that these men identified with the job and, upon retirement, lost purpose and meaning in life. This same phenomenon has claimed the lives of a number of superstars, including Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, who allowed their fans to define their identities, and plunged into deep depression. The site answers many questions about how the book may help people discover who they really are and achieve genuine happiness. As a recent retiree, I’ll be looking for this book at my local book store.
