Normally you drift around looking for the next hit — until something grabs you, and then your focus is frightening. It is zero or a hundred, and even you cannot predict the switch.
Who you are
What the four axes add up to
Most of the time you are restless, glancing off in every direction. Then something takes hold of you and you become someone else entirely. The focus that arrives in those moments surprises everyone, yourself included.
There is no middle setting. Nothing from a topic you do not care about gets in, and you can talk for thirty unprompted minutes about the thing you are currently inside. To some people that is the appeal; to others it is exhausting.
The awkward part is that you cannot predict the switch. What you gave everything to yesterday you cannot bring yourself to pick up today, and you have no explanation.
When the heat goes you notice nothing is left. Hundreds of hours in, and what remains is a pile waiting to be sold. Decide how you will stop before you start, and those hours turn into something you keep.
Where this type sits
- Dドバドバ薄い刺激では物足りない。常に何かが起きていてほしい
- Pパッと次へ見切りが速い。合わないと分かった瞬間に切り上げる
- Gガマンできない今すぐ欲しい。数十秒の空白にも耐えられない
- S集中できる入り込むと深い。周りが見えなくなる
Sound familiar?
- If a topic does not interest you, not one word gets in
- You can talk about your current obsession for thirty minutes unprompted
- The moment the heat dies, the whole setup goes up for resale
Still a strength
When you are actually in, you absorb things at a rate other people find hard to believe. You get good fast.
The pitfall
Nothing is left standing once the heat fades. Decide how you will stop before you start, and it turns into something you keep.

How you are in love
Where the intensity and the impatience show
You go all in, and it startles people at first. The drop from that peak is steep, so the calm afterwards gets misread as losing interest. Everything depends on whether you can say that out loud.
How you are with friends
Plans, replies, and distance
You can talk for hours about the thing you are into. The other person may not be equally into it. When the phase ends, so does the contact — quietly.
How you are with games
What you stay with, and when you stop
Hundreds of hours in one title, then one day you simply stop. You either complete every achievement or none of them.
How it shows in your money
The shape your losses take
You pour everything into whatever has you right now. No ceiling on merch, no ceiling on in-game spending. You come back to yourself later, looking at what is left in the room.
This quiz is for fun. "Dopagaki" is internet slang, not a medical diagnosis. The result has no clinical basis and says nothing about your health.
