even more tests

**************************************

My score on The You think you've got a high IQ Test:

**************************************

Gifted
(You scored 128 Intelligence!)

"Aww...you're basically a genius. 132 is the IQ where Mensa accepts you. How about giving it a try? You were the probably the kid who got all A's in high school..or you could be like me, a brilliant slacker...too smart for your own good. It goes both ways. You are ver gifted."

My score on The Cartoon Alter-Ego Test:

Hermes
(You scored 70 Intelligence, 17 Goofyness, 44 Confidence, and 30 Emotional!)

"Lovable Hermes! Let me guess: You like to go to museums, read books, you probably have a PH.D or are working on it. If not well your life is all about learning and being smart. It is what you do best. You may lack self-confidence but you dont really care because for you it is over-rated. Just remember to have fun and when you get that Nobel Prize give me a call:P"

**************************************

Aggressively Right
(You scored 69% Confrontational and 70% Logical!)

"You're right and you're going to fight for it-- just make sure you don't fight too hard if your partner is timid. You'll work great with someone else of the same type, since you'll both fight hard for the most logical solution to every problem.

Your matches: Aggressively Right, Assertive and Right"

My score on The What Simpson Are You? Test:

**************************************

Carl/Lenny
(You scored 46% beliefs, 52% background, and 34% situation!)

**************************************

My score on The Greek Mythology Personality Test:

**************************************

Prometheus
(33% Extroversion, 100% Intuition, 44% Emotiveness, 47% Perceptiveness)

You are most like Prometheus, and you probably knew that before you even took this test. You probably aren't deliberately altruistic, but you still tend to do things that benefit everyone, even at great expense to your health and personal relationships. You aren't ruled by your emotions, but you still have a strong sense of justice. You make good decisions, but they can sometimes backfire (and this isn't due to a flaw in your reasoning, but due to faulty premises instead).

You are very reasonable, you understand systems, you can quickly pinpoint flaws and you know how to correct them. You pride understanding and knowledge above everything else, and your greatest fear is to appear to be incompetent. You tend to be contemptuous of authority, but you don't accept leadership roles yourself until everyone else has demonstrated their own incompetence.

You've built a very specific skill set. You know exactly where your strengths and weaknesses are, and you pride yourself on this kind of self-knowledge. You distrust tradition, which you see as arbitrary, and you rely instead on your own judgements. You also pride yourself on your pragmatism. You're also a very private person.

Most of all, people think you're arrogant, but screw them! They're the ones who benefit from your ideas and discoveries, and if they took the time to understand why it is that you say and think the things you do, they'd realize that you only appear arrogant because you are exactingly precise when it comes to your area of specification, and most of all because, when you don't know something, you don't have an opinion about it (unlike most of the loudmouths that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis).

Relationships are your kryptonite. It isn't that you don't want them -- in fact, you would very much like a very close relationship with someone who understands you. They're just the one thing in the world that you're naturally bad at.

Famous people like you: Niels Bohr, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Werner Heisenberg, Issac Newton, John Maynard Keynes, Erwin Schrodinger
Stay Clear of: Apollo, Icarus, Hermes, Aphrodite
Seek out: Atlas, The Oracle, Daedalus

My score on The Director Who Films Your Life Test:

**************************************

Edward D. Wood, Jr.
(Your film will be 47% romantic, 25% comedy, 36% complex plot, and a $ 24 million budget.)

Ed Wood will get your film done waaaaay under budget, and will likely make it into a classic film of all time -- for all the wrong reasons. Let's face it, your life isn't terribly exciting to begin with, and it needs some camping up. His resume includes classics such as Plan Nine From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda? He's not afraid to tackle controversial topics, and may insist on portraying a transvestite in your film -- even if you've never seen a transvestite before. He was immortalized in the Academy Award winning Tim Burton film, Ed Wood -- go see it.

My score on The Southern-ness Test:

**************************************

Dixie Royal
(You are 95% true Southern!)

You are pure belle or gentleman! You know your Jones Soda, Nehi and RC colas, your Moon Pies and sweet potato pie; you'd absolutely die without air conditioners in the summer, and you've seen Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes (or read the book!). Your grandmother lives in an antebellum home and has a cook who makes the best fried chicken and asparagus casserole and summer squash and everything else in the world. And you know the taste of honeysuckle and the feel of grass between your toes.
You are blessed.

listen to your heart

Roxette - Listen to Your Heart (pops)

So... yeah.

Let's do a quick rundown.

I'm out of school for the next three days (counting weekend days, which I do). I wish I could have more days off, but I'll take whatever I can get.

I got a new phone last week. It's one of these. Nothing fancy, but cheap and effective. My old one wasn't horrible or anything, although it wasn't, you know, made in this century. The battery was starting to lose it's charge, and plus, the Oystr was only $20.

Today I went to the dentist. I hate going to the dentist, like any sane person who's ever had braces does, so I didn't enjoy myself.

I went clothes shopping, and I'm to the point where, in order to find clothes that are actually comfortable, it's easier to shop in stores catering to a demographic I'm not exactly a part of. (I don't know exactly how to say this so I stay on the side of political correctness, so I'll come out and say it.) I bought two pairs of pants at a store called "Hip Hop Fashions Plus". If you've ever seen a picture of me, you may notice that if you were to sprinkle me with salt, I would be indistinguishable from a saltine. You can bet that I got some funny looks going in there.

I went to the illustrious Statham Library today, because they're clearing out the old books to make the move to a new building easier. They made the mistake of advertising this fact in the newspaper. In my family, clearing out library sales may be the biggest thrill we get for a month, so we attack like some sort of ferocious jungle animal. I think we limited ourselves to less than three dozen books. It was hard, though.

So that's about it. Write, call, e-mail, or drop by.

paranoid

Still tired, still not wanting to write anything.

More online quizzes? Yes, please!

**************************************

My score on The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test:

**************************************

Modern, Cool Nerd
(82 % Nerd, 65% Geek, 47% Dork)

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

My score on The Genghis Khan Genetic Fitness Test:

**************************************

95,720 descendants
(- you're more genetically fit than 45% of the current population -)

"95,720. Not bad. You're no Mongol warlord, but to have that many copies of your genetic code running around 800 years from now is pretty impressive.

You're at the lower end of the scoring spectrum, but, honestly, when you consider that the cheaters, swindlers, and football players of this world are statistically best-equipped to create children, scoring low is something to be proud of. As you'll see below, some of your lines will die out, but nonetheless your genetic material will thrive here on earth for a long time to come.

**************************************

My score on The Would You Have Been a Nazi Test:

**************************************

The Expatriate
(Achtung! You are 30% brainwashworthy, 18% antitolerant, and 19% blindly patriotic)

"Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country. One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could have been one of them.

Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.
