Desire Test Analysis Guide
This document is a separate explanatory guide linked from the final results page of the Desire Test. It was created to unpack the deeper meanings that a single result card cannot fully capture, and to help users understand their result codes more accurately.
This Desire Test is not a test that dictates "what kind of personality you have"! It is structured to read your life's priorities by observing what you choose to protect first, and what you push back to last, in a moment of crisis.
Even for the same person, behavior can change depending on the situation! However, the choices we instinctively make in urgent moments often reveal our subconscious baseline. This test reads the exact order of that baseline.
How the Desire Test Works
The Desire Test uses four symbols. These four symbols represent psychological axes that show what you prioritize protecting in life, rather than just your superficial preferences.
L = Love
Represents emotional bonds, protection, care, and the desire not to lose relationships.
M = Money
Represented as 'Rice' in the test, it signifies survival, practicality, loss aversion, and the attitude of securing one's foundation in life.
P = Power
Represents the desire to secure influence, recognition, validation, and social control.
D = Door (Honor)
Represents thresholds, boundaries, reputation, and the standards by which you decide who is allowed into your inner circle.
The important point is that these four axes are a priority structure, not a personality label. Therefore, rather than saying "This is the kind of person I am," the Desire Test reveals, "This is what I protect first in a crisis."
What Your Result Code Means
The result code consists of four letters. For example, if you are LMPD, your structure is to protect love first, secure stability and reality next, seek influence and reaction after that, and leave your pride and boundaries for last. This order is not just a simple list of preferences.
First Letter
Your absolute top priority; the value your subconscious clings to first in a crisis.
Second Letter
The secondary tool or means utilized to protect your first priority.
Third Letter
A value that is important to you, but gets pushed aside in priority during an urgent reaction.
Fourth Letter
A value that definitely exists within you, but is the very last to be activated.
Because of this, even within the same 'L' group, results vary. For instance, LMPD uses stability and management systems to protect love, whereas LPDM moves toward influence and control over stability and reality to protect love. Even with the same first letter, your behavioral approach can be completely different.
How the 24 Results are Formed
Nemorami arranges the four symbols in order to create a total of 24 codes. In other words, this test doesn't judge a person based solely on their #1 priority.
Even if Love is your first priority, the way you protect your relationships changes drastically depending on whether your second priority is stability, influence, or boundaries. Because of this, Nemorami's results are not meant to be judged as "good or bad," but are most accurately read as a structure of recurring behavioral patterns.
Group L: Those Who Prioritize Love
Group L consists of individuals who protect relationships and emotional bonds above all else. They tend to feel that if a relationship is shaken, their very existence is shaken as well.
LMPD | Obsessive Controller
Strong desire to protect love, but an inability to tolerate anxiety often leads to managing and controlling the relationship. When care and control blur, the partner may feel pressure rather than affection.
LMDP | Complacent Settler
A type that delays change and expansion once a relationship and minimum stability are secured. They have great strength in staying within safe relationships, but familiarity can halt their personal growth.
LPMD | Emotional Tyrant
Values love but tends to use their own wounds as a weapon to take control of the relationship. The stronger their need for validation, the more likely they are to put their partner to the test.
LPDM | Irresponsible Romantic
High on emotions and ideals, but tends to push practical responsibilities aside. They react quickly to the passion of love, but may falter during the maintenance and responsibility phases.
LDMP | Relationship Addict
High anxiety about being alone leads them to collapse their own boundaries to avoid losing a relationship. They are highly adaptable to their partners, but easily lose their own sense of self in the process.
LDPM | Self-Sacrificing Martyr
A type that tries to prove their love through endurance and sacrifice. They appear affectionate on the outside, but unvoiced expectations can build up and eventually explode.
Group M: Those Who Prioritize Stability & Survival
Group M individuals look at survival, efficiency, and loss aversion before emotions. They tend to understand relationships as a structure of management and maintenance rather than a purely emotional realm.
MLPD | Cold Calculator
Because they calculate profit and loss before emotions, they tend to distance themselves as relationships get closer. They are excellent at avoiding losses but easily miss out on the warmth of a relationship.
MLDP | Safety Pragmatist
A type that can only open their heart once stability is secured. They are cautious and realistic, but calculating for too long can cause them to miss the right timing to share their true feelings.
MPLD | Materialistic Climber
Tends to evaluate people based on conditions and utility rather than emotions. They are proactive in relationships that show opportunity and value, but calculation often precedes the heart.
MPDL | The Machine
Excellent at problem-solving and efficiency, but may erase relationships by treating emotions as inefficiencies. A structure that works well professionally but easily misses the human heart.
MDLP | Pragmatic Mediator
Tends to maintain superficial harmony, but their actual standards lean toward self-interest. They have the ability to reduce conflict, but can give the impression of being calculating in deep relationships.
MDPL | Human Scanner
A type that evaluates people at the door of the relationship and blocks them if they don't meet their standards. Their screening ability is excellent, but they may also block the very space where intimacy could grow.
Group P: Those Who Prioritize Influence & Recognition
Group P individuals seek to secure recognition, reaction, and control first. They tend to find more comfort in having the upper hand than in simply being loved.
PLMD | Stage Dictator
A type that only feels secure when they are at the center of a relationship. They easily mistake praise and attention for affection, which can turn the relationship into their personal stage.
PLDM | Applause Addict
Has a strong tendency to confirm their existence through the reactions of others. They shine when receiving attention, but their anxiety grows if the reactions fade.
PMLD | Success Addict
A type that only feels safe in winning relationships and seeks to secure the upper hand. They are strong in performance and competition, but may feel anxious about equal intimacy.
PMDL | Elite Machine
A type that tries to prove even love through results and evaluations. Their competence is clear, but demanding performance in relationships can exhaust their partner.
PDLM | Appearance Addict
A type that highly values their outward image and reputation. They are good at creating relationships that look great on paper, but hiding their true feelings can weaken trust.
PDML | Masked Power-Player
Has a tendency to control the flow through atmosphere and reputation rather than direct confrontation. They appear smooth on the outside, but indirect control operates strongly within their relationships.
Group D: Those Who Prioritize Pride & Boundaries
Group D individuals calculate who comes in and how much they allow first. What matters most to them is not intimacy itself, but how to protect their thresholds and boundaries.
DLMP | Fatalistic Bystander
Tends to delay decisions and wait for the situation to decide for them. They avoid major conflicts, but often feel the heavy price of indecision too late.
DLPM | Reality Escapist
A type drawn more to new stimuli and alternate possibilities than present discomfort. They frequently change thresholds and move on, but often realize what was precious only after leaving.
DMLP | Hesitant Calculator
A cautious type who withholds decisions until they have absolute certainty. Their judgment is meticulous, but they may repeatedly miss opportunities because they act too late.
DMPL | Empty Idealist
High on words and ideals, but practical execution and responsibility tend to get pushed back. They have the ability to articulate a beautiful future, but may lack the grip to hold onto reality.
DPLM | Clumsy Networker
Strong at making broad connections, but weak at entering deep relationships. They knock on many doors, but struggle to build a door where they can stay for a long time.
DPML | Opportunist
A fast-adapting type that adjusts their attitude according to the situation and power dynamics. Their adaptability to reality is excellent, but trust in the relationship can weaken if advantage is prioritized over sincerity.
Things to Keep in Mind When Reading Your Results
1. This result is not a personality label: The result code is not meant to define you in a single sentence. It is closer to a reference map showing the direction of choices you have repeatedly made.
2. Interpreting solely based on the 1st priority reduces accuracy: For example, just because L is your #1 priority doesn't mean you are entirely warm and devoted. The way you handle relationships changes drastically depending on whether M (stability/survival), P (influence), or D (boundaries) follows next.
3. The last priority is also important: The 4th priority is not an unimportant value, but the value that activates last. Therefore, as life gets turbulent, repeated damage or regrets may occur in the area of your 4th priority.
4. Do not divide into good and bad types: Each type has both strengths and shadows. Strengths are revealed as protective instincts, a sense of reality, drive, and a sense of boundaries, while weaknesses can twist into obsession, calculation, dominance, and avoidance.
Questions to Better Utilize Your Results
After reading your results, it is helpful to reflect on the following questions:
Which "value" matters most to you?
- When a life crisis hits, what is the primary "value" your subconscious clings to first?
- Is the choice of that "value" protecting you? Or is it pushing away your precious relationships?
- Was your 2nd priority a choice to resolve the situation? Or a 'shield' to hide your inner anxiety?
- Are the regrets that linger most painfully in your life connected to the '4th priority' value you turned away from?
Answering these questions turns your result code into more than just fun—it becomes a tool for reading your own patterns.
