What it means

Psychology, investigations, other people's motives, finance and money agreements interest you. Conversations about hard things — death, debts, sex — don't frighten you. Work with other people's money and documents comes easily.

The flip side is obsessive thoughts and suspicion; the secrets of your own people and others weigh on you.

This isn't about you if psychology and investigations bore you and you don't talk about hard topics.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

    What should match. Recall what you read or watch for yourself. At least one of your favorite topics is psychology, detectives, investigations, secret stories.

    When it’s not about you. Not one — this isn't about you.
