4. Do you talk to your parents similar to how you did when you were a child or adolescent?
5. Do you wish you had a better relationship with your siblings or extended family?
6. Do you have personality traits that you find unattractive in yourself that you believe were a direct result of your upbringing?
7. Do your ever feel I'm becoming my mother or I'm just like my dad?
8. Do you think that you've inherited negative tendencies that may go back beyond your parents or even your grandparents: ex. bad temper or lack of motivation.
9. Do you ever wish you could turn off the sound of your mother or father's voice in your head telling you what to do, or how to live?
10. Do you feel that the good qualities you've developed were in spite of rather than because of your upbringing?
