Are you Passively Aggressive?

Recently, I was asked to look up the term "passively aggressive" because perhaps this is ME. After reading the information on this style of communication, I was quite shocked.

Here are a few of the characteristics of a passive-aggressive communicator.

• You manipulate others to choose your way.
• YOu appear honest but underlying comments confuse.
• You tend towards indirectness with the air of being direct.
• You are self-enchanting but not straight forward about it.
• If you don't get your way you'll make snide comments or pout and be the victim.
• You feel confused, unclear on how to feel, you are angry but not sure why. Later you possibly feel guilty.

So, I just kept searching sites and reading until I came across this one called helloquizzy which allowed me to take the passive aggressive test and here are the results.
