The amateur psychoanalyst simulation I'm running would latch on to this:

It's very rare that I show anger, and I don't think I've ever punched someone as an adult.

This could be an interesting research topic: Ask people how often then imagine having a fight with someone. Ask people how often then have a fight. Ask people how angry they feel. Then give them some questionnaire with is supposed to discover supressed anger. Make statistics. Post on LW. Gain 25 karma points. :D

EDIT: Actually, a rational course of action is to outsource all the work on some psychology student, and then just check their statistics, post on LW, and collect karma.
