Fractured Emotions Trivia Quiz

Answer: Anger

To experience anger is to be swamped by waves of fury and wrath at someone or something. If anger is not resolved, it can lead to violence if people choose to act on that anger.

Answer: Terror

Terror is a very unpleasant feeling whereby a person is filled with overwhelming fear and dread. It can usually be experienced first hand for those somewhat peculiar people who enjoy watching movies that scare them out of their wits.

Answer: Hatred

Hatred is akin to anger in a way. To hate someone or something is to detest and abhor that person or object with such a depth of emotion that, once again, if acted upon, can have dire consequences.

Answer: Hostility

Hostility is a feeling of dislike or aversion. One can feel hostility towards anything. A hostile action, taken to the next level, is that which takes the emotion into concrete form. A military attack on a threatening opponent, for example, could be described as an hostile action.

Answer: Wonder

To be filled with wonder is to be filled with awe or amazement at something startling or incredible that has taken place. An action or deed or event that seems almost miraculous can fill people with this emotion. Moses parting the Red Sea is, no doubt, an event that filled those present with awe and wonder.

Answer: Panic

If one suffers from a panic attack, that person is filled with overwhelming feelings of dread and apprehension. This very unpleasant sensation is usually linked to some situation from which it appears that escape from that situation is taken out of one's control. That's when the heart begins to race, the skin goes prickly, clammy feelings are experienced, and the breath becomes overly rapid.

Many people experience this sensation when the doors of lifts close behind them. They begin to think "What if it gets stuck?" and other frightening scenarios, and then the panic sets in.

Answer: Hysteria

Hysteria is best described as an attack of excessive emotion, usually associated with an unpleasant event, that has become out of control. It is closely related to anxiety attacks. One can also think of a joke, book, movie or some other comical event as hysterical as well, but that's not particularly the real meaning of this word.

Answer: Surprise

A surprise can be very pleasant and welcome - or the exact opposite. The best description of this word is to associate those emotions with anything unexpected that has taken place. An unexpected and very welcome visitor, for example, can be a nice surprise. On the other hand, it could be your mother-in-law.

Answer: Jealousy

One can be filled with jealousy or envy (its associated emotion) at a work colleague who has been promoted over that person, for example. Or to be suspicious of a loved one because of doubts about his or her fidelity. This is an emotion that is all mixed up with its experiencer's own feelings of inadequacy or self-image to a degree.

The less confident or secure that person feels, the more likely it is that jealousy may come knocking on the door if anything occurs which threatens his or her fragile self-perception.

Answer: Confidence

On the other hand, if one is confident and sure of his or her own abilities and place in the world, many of the above described negative emotions are less likely to play a major part in that person's life. That person will feel like he or she can achieve anything the mind or heart is set upon.
