I think it fits you well, but you need to take more of the quizzes, to be sure.

I got the same results... who else got it?

[Vipt]

Okay, I took two other quizzes/tests. First this one, the short Global Personality test:

Stability results were medium which suggests you are moderately relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.

Extraversion results were very low which suggests you are extremely reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive.

It seems pretty accurate of how I view myself, though it makes it sound like I'll be the next Unibomber or something. Am I that much of an anti-social loser?


The other is the Visual Pattern Intelligence test, on which I got in the 84^th percentile (which I guess means I did better than 84% of the others who took it). Visual pattern intelligence is probably my strongest kind of intelligence, so I feel a little dumb now getting only 84%. Geeze, that was probably one of the hardest of all the visual pattern tests I've ever taken, though.

I got the same results... who else got it?

On what quiz? (and I'm not inclined to go and look for my results, unless there's an easy and non time-consuming way to locate my own result)

what Knights of the Old Republic character are you?

You are T3-M4. Utility droids of all makes and models are a common sight on every planet throughout the galaxy. The versatility of these handy little droids, combined with their reliable programming and affordability, has made them popular for everything from light janitorial duties to complex mechanical repairs and maintenance. Among the premier utility droids currently available are those in the T3 series. Though more expensive than most standard models, T3 droids contain the latest in advanced circuitry and programming, and are easily fitted with a variety of customized upgrades. T3-M4, a prototype of the latest model in this prestigious line, was created in a droid shop on Taris to serve as a personal security unit for an anonymous buyer. Along with the standard functionality, T3-M4 was equipped with light armor plating and upgradeable weapon functionality. These combat capabilities, combined with the droid's innate computer slicing and code breaking skills, have led many to speculate about the identity of the droid's unknown buyer. Given the expense, abilities and advanced technology of this little droid, most suspect that T3-M4 is being fitted for something far more than a simple personal security position.

Gambit Guild

Two quizzes are there.



Same as the other quiz.

Batman looks downright cheerful in comparison with you, because you are an Angsty Avenger! After your loved ones were killed (and they always were!), you decided to avenge their memory and become a crime fighter. Unfortunately, this meant you didn't have time to go to grief counselling, so you are perpetually depressed. You tend to wear black, skulk around dark alleyways, and give long, tragic soliloquies on rooftops. The word "vengeance" crops up a lot in your daily conversation. Villians are not sure whether you'll beat them up or tell them your lifestory. They always hope for the former, as it is less painful.

but here is is.

What's that post doing in the useless conversation-thread?

STAR WARS KOTOR:
Note: I do not know any KOTOR-chracte, so on the last question I'll just pick one randomr

You are Juhani. Juhani, like most Cathar who choose to join the Jedi Order, is locked in a never ending struggle to find a balance between her instincts and her training. The feline Cathar are known throughout the galaxy for their courage in battle, their fierce loyalty and their quick tempers; such intense passions can make it difficult for one of this proud species to follow the way of the light. Yet Juhani has given herself fully to the Jedi, and she is determined to master both her volatile emotions and her ability in the Force. She strives to be a paragon of the Order; she has sworn to live her life completely by the Jedi code. Because of this, she does not easily accept failure in herself or in others. Still, there are some among the Order who question whether this Cathar can ever learn to control her burning passions. It remains to be seen whether Juhani can live up to her own demanding standards, but even her own Master fears her impossible quest for perfection will result in frustration and despair... emotions that can lead to the dark side.

Feline, yes!

GAMBIT GUILD:
On the first I got Storm as well, but I seem to have lost her image when I 'resulted' the other one.

On the other one, though, I'm:

Like Superman or Captain America, you have a firm belief in truth and justice, as well as the power of your own, two fists. you would feel right at home in the Golden Age of superheroes. You are the sort of hero who would always wear your underwear above their tights, have your cape billowing behind you (if necessary, you would pack a fan!), and a smile that could blind an enemy at twentry paces. You speak in cliches, and your most commonly used words are "justice", "liberty", "my fists", "prevail" and "taste the sweet justice of". Sound-effects like "Pow!", "Thwack!" and "Zammo!" seem to accompany you wherever you go, as does a montage of an American flag and the bald-eagle which drops behind you whenever you defeat evil!

There's too much American references in there to suit my taste

Only about 10 percent of the visitors to innergeek.us click on this page. Congratulations, you are one of the lucky ones! Here's a reason to make the rest of them jealous: You get to create your very own Madlib-type story! Time for all of that elementary grammar knowledge to be used... do you think you can do it? If you think yours is particularly funny, send it to me in an email! Oh, and more fun stuff will be available in the future. Now pipe down and geek out.

Take the geek quiz first.

A long time ago, there was strife in the kingdom of Daventry.
The peasant people wanted their freedom from the painful Groupeh!. The painful Groupeh!, however, had different plans. He wanted to charge the peasant people to strangle for the nightmare. The people of Daventry gathered in the local Bakery to happeh dance the sword. The elder knight spoke first. We must scream the Groupeh!, who is now more happily than painful!!! Who will join me? I will, shouted Jafar, the kingdom's thief. I think your idea is very nightmare, said the local programmer. I'm too red for this card, anyway. Kings Quest IX is a better waste of my atom. The GM talked his toes on the B'rrr. RUN!! Why don't you go play Life with Knight if you don't like the way we play Deus Ex! You're such a Super Geek, LN.

Brain Personality Test

(Type in any name you like, it seems to be just a lame personalizing thing for the test results.)

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 43%
Visual : 56%
Left : 66%
Right : 33%

You are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.

Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure and logic and create an almost continuous state of uncertainty and agitation. You may well suffer a feeling of continually trying to "catch up" with yourself.

Your tendency to be organized and logical and attend to details is reasonably well-established which should afford you success regardless of your chosen field of endeavor. You can "size up" situations and take in information rapidly. However, you must then subject that data to being classified and organized which causes you to "lose touch" with the immediacy of the problem.

Your logical and methodical nature hamper you in this regard though in the long run it may work to your advantage since you "learn from experience" and can go through the process more rapidly on subsequent occasions.

You remain predominantly functional in your orientation and practical. Abstraction and theory are secondary to application. In keeping with this, you focus on details until they manifest themselves in a unique pattern and only then work with the "larger whole."

With regards to your career choices, you have a mentality that would be good as a scientist, coach, athlete, design consultant, or an engineering technician. You can "see where you want to go" and even be able to "tell yourself," but find that you are "fighting yourself" at the darndest times.

Okay, here we go.....

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Auditory : 64%
Visual : 35%
Left : 52%
Right : 47%

Errrm.... I don't know about the left and right thing, but I've always thought of myself as way more visual than auditory, and I'm pretty sure I've taken other tests that have shown the same as well. This result already makes the efficacy of this test highly suspect in my mind. But moving on....

Kevin, your hemispheric dominance is equally divided between left and right brain, while you show a moderate preference for auditory versus visual learning, signs of a balanced and flexible person.

I guess I'm a pretty balanced and flexible (whatever the heck that means), but for the auditory versus visual thing see above.

Your balance gives you the enviable capacity to be verbal and literate while retaining a certain "flair" and individuality. You are logical and compliant but only to a degree. You are organized without being compulsive, goal-directed without being driven, and a "thinking" individual without being excessively so.

I guess I agree with this. I am very literate, and the verbal thing kind of goes along with that, though I'm a bit less so in it. The rest is too vague for me to even know whether to agree or disagree......

The one problem you might have is that your learning might not be as efficient as you would like. At times you will work from the specific to the general, while at other times you'll work from the general to the specific. Sometimes you will be logical in your approach while at other times random. Since you cannot always control the choice, you may experience frustrations not normally felt by persons with a more defined and directed learning style.

Ah, this I can actually recognize about myself! Yes, I certainly do have this problem, though I wouldn't say I'm ever completely "random" in my approach to problems/situations. It also depends highly on the motivation factor, but that's a whole different discussion altogether.

You may also minimally experience conflicts associated with auditory processing. You will be systematic and sequential in your processing of information, you will most often focus on a single dimension of the problem or material, and you will be more reflective, i.e., "taking the data in" as opposed to "devouring" it.

This also hits the mark fairly well. I'm not always the best at auditory comprehension because I like to think things through before moving on to next thing, but people often seem to talk too dang fast! Though maybe that's just because I'm retarded, lol.

Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself - and of others - while maintaining an "openness" which is redeeming. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity is not in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, the more obvious and the more functional.

Partially true, although I have no idea what they (err, it) could possibly know about me in order to conclude that I should feel content with life and such. Too critical of myself and others? at times perhaps. Maintain a redeeming "openness"? really not so much, I don't think. Indecisive? most definately. I'm not sure exactly what it means by "your creativity is not in keeping with your potential". Does it mean I have the potential to be more creative, but don't practice it, or that I'm simply not creative enough for my level of intelligence/functionality? If it's the former, I sort of agree, in that I really haven't accomplished many meaningfully creative things in my life, especially of late. It's not that I don't try, but those sorts of things always end up being so much more work than what I originally intended, which is mostly due to my perfectionism; and hence, I don't finish very many non-mandatory projects that I start (heck, even mandatory projects sometimes!) On the other hand, if the correct interpretation is the latter, then this stupid test is worthless and quite frankly insulting! Like I haven't heard enough insults in my lifetime that I need a friggin' test to tell me that I suck, lol! Well, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and just assume the former interpretation was meant. And I'm also not sure about the whole thing of being a pragmatist; I've really never seen myself that way, and I sincerely doubt others have either.


Overall I give this test a B-, though it would have been a C+ had I not given it a few extra "brownie" points for good effort.

How Long Will You Live??

Saw this...thought it was interesting...I'll live until I'm 87.

[Jeysie]

I got 65... ouch.

There was something darkly amusing about watching the age in the URL drop with nearly every answer...

My own results, which will probably surprise you about as much as they surprised me (which is to say, not at all):

You scored as Logical/Mathematical.

You like to work with numbers and ask questions. You learn best by classifying information, engaging in abstract thinking and looking for common basic principles. People like you include mathematicians, biologists, medical technicians, geologists, engineers, physicists, researchers and other scientists.
