The fact that red [and a question mark!] indicates an affirmative confuses me muchly on this table.
Your municipality prohibits trick-or-treating after a certain age? How is that enforced?
> ✓ I have been described as a dreamer or likely to have my head up in the clouds. (I've also been described as ADD, but I don't believe in the pathologization of America. I find it problematic from many perspectives.)
While I agree that people are often too eager to pathologize/medicate, I also believe that there truly are neurochemical imbalances etc. in some people which are improved through medication. (My mother's best friend's son has been diagnosed with ADHD, and appropriate medication has made a HUGE difference in his ability to function.)
> ✓ I consistently spend way too much money on obsessions-of-the-moment. (This is healthy within reason, no? I mean life is ultimately meaningless, but we imbue it with purpose.)
I interpret this as potentially meaning "spending so much money on an obsession that I can't afford things I NEED -- like food."
> ✓ I am compulsively honest. (I'm not sure what compulsively means in this context, though.)
I think this is meant to refer to voicing one's opinions even when it is inappropriate to do so.
