The lady in the lab is the sister of the Mr.Albert.She is also a scientist and used to assist Mr.Albert in his research works.After the death of Mr.Albert she started to work on the incomplete project ie discovery of cancer curing drug. The spirit of Mr Albert is proud that even after his death his dream is still alive and one day surely scientists will find a cancer curing drug.”-My story My results:
LIWC dimension Your data Male average Female average Need for Achievement 10.00 5.8 5.6 Need for Affiliation 0.91 1.1 1.3 Need for power 1.82 1.7 1.8 Self-references (I, me, my) 0.00 0.5 0.8 Social words 8.18 11.4 12.0 Positive emotions 3.64 1.8 2.1 Negative emotions 0.00 1.5 1.6 Big words (> 6 letters) 14.55 18.7 17.7
Overall, you wrote 110 words in the 10 minutes.
_ Need for Achievement _. The typical person generally scores between 4.5 and 8.5, with an average of 5.7. The higher your number, the more you wrote about achievement-related themes.
_ Need for Affiliation _. Because this picture typically elicits themes associated with achievement, most people don’t pay too much attention to human relationships in their story. In fact, the typical person scores around 1.2 on this dimension. Indeed, 30% of participants score 0.00.
_ Need for Power _. Most people score between 0.8 and 2.7, with the average being 1.7. High scores on the need for power dimension hint that the writer is concerned with who is or is not in control andwho has the most status.
One thing that is interesting about this kind of exercise is that language analyses can tell us many things about the writer that go far beyond power, achievement, and affiliation. Look at the table below. In it, you can determine some features of your own writing and can get a sense of your writing style compared with others:
_ Self-references: _ People who use a high rate of self-references tend to be more insecure, nervous, and possibly depressed. They also tend to be more honest.
_ Social words: _ Social words are words that make reference to other people (e.g., they, she, us, talk, friends). Generally, people who use a high level of social words are more outgoing and more socially connected with others.
_ Positive emotion words: _ The more that people use positive emotion words (e.g. happy, love, good), the more optimistic they tend to be. If you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to see the world in a positive way.
_ Negative emotion words: _ Use of negative emotion words (e.g., sad, kill, afraid) is weakly linked to people’s ratings of anxiety or even neurotic. People who have had a bad day are more likely to see the world through negatively-tinted glasses.
Big words (words with more than 6 letters): Use of big words is weakly related to higher grades and standardized test scores. People who use a high rate of big words also tend to be less emotional and oftentimes psychologically distant or detached.
