[Louisiana Night]

I guy on Arwen's forum posted this, and I thought I'd share it.

Sanity Test

According to the quiz, I'm sane.

P.S. There are no questions to answer

[Jeysie]

Ah, I've seen that before.

I didn't laugh either time, but I did grin widely. Does that mean I'm partially insane?

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Questing Character]

I thought I should settle this for all of you (even though the topic was dropped): Wade was in the first season.  I think she died at the end of Season 2, as I didn't see Season 2 but I saw all the others.
I'm pretty sure they got rid of her because she served *no* purpose what-so-ever.  Although, in one of the episodes I saw they made a reference to her sacrificing herself (or something) to the Cro-Mags to save everybody else.  That must be the fishbowl thing?

Oh, and btw:

Paranoid: High
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: High
Dependent: Moderate
Obsessive-Compulsive: High

Only 1 and a half sentences in the skitzotypal description didn't fit me.  I'm *way* more skitzotypal than anything else in there.

The sanity thing said I was sane too.

[Jeysie]

I was sorted into Gryffindor... now there's a surprise!

This test was neat... I got...

Gryffindor 57
Ravenclaw 70
Hufflepuff 82
Slytherin 32

As for getting emotional... I do tend to get emotional while watching movies/TV shows... both in terms of laughing and crying. But with books I seldom do either... it probably has to do with the fact that I have a rather weak "mental eye"... when I try to picture something in my head it tends to be a very indistinct image. Maybe the lack of a good visual/audio reference dullens the emotional impact somewhat.

Peace & Luv, Liz

WHAT KIND OF DRAGON (yes, I'm picking up up from where I left off, so many pages ago...)=

You are a Bronze Dragon.
You are inquisitive and friendly. You love to watch people exspecialy when they don't know your there. You love riddles and harmless contests. You are fascinated by warfare and will eagerly join an army if the cause is just and the pay is good.

Unfortunately, the bunny-quiz has gone off-public.

EVIL GENIUS:

You want to be evil. You do evil things. But given the opportunity, and a darn good reason you may turn to the good side. Besides you are probably a miserable evil genius.

Looks like the little text-quotes are the same for the 'lower' percentages.

HISTORICAL ICON:

Li Shizhen (AD1518-1593)
Li used all his time and effort in medicine. His book "Compendiun of Materia Medica" is a well-known Chinese medical book. He investigated, observed, listened and thought repeatedly. He used more than 20 years to finish the books with 3 modifications.
You are as strong and though as your matching Historical Icon. You are interested in science. The only way to succeed is not to give up.

TRICKSTER:

I Am TechGnosis
The God of Technology is a Trickster, that much is certain. Like all technology, you are brilliant, unpredictable, anti-social and prone to breaking down at the most inopportune moments. Just when those around you have you figured out, you change. You can be a hero when everything is working properly up inside that huge brain but let something go haywire with the code and you become dark and frightening. Like TechGnosis you're a new phenomenon in human history, and whether you are good or evil yet remains to be seen.

ENTERPRENEUR:
Strange, this test's name sounds familiar. Oh well.

Achievement Drive:
You are motivated by a moderate drive to achieve. You would probably be happy with a business that was moderately successful, as long as it met your personal needs and interests. Money may be less important to you than finding a business that meets your personal goals..

Focus:
Not available

Adaptability:
You are moderately are flexible in your approach to life. At times, you may have some difficulty adjusting to changing circumstances, preferring instead to follow what you are already familiar with. Although you tolerate some ambiguity, you may feel uncomfortable in highly ambiguous situations. You may dislike being in a business on the leading edge of change and should look for a relatively stable niche.

Focus:
You scored in the middle on this dimension. You would probably find it challenging to run a business in an area where market change is constant and rapid, but, you could probably be successful over time. You may feel more comfortable with a business that does not subject you to ambiguity.

Autonomy:
You don't mind taking direction from others, and you have no strong need to control your own work. You probably enjoy working as part of a team and getting feedback on your work from other people. You may have some difficulty in adjusting to working alone.

Focus:
You would probably work well in some sort of partnership arrangement, rather than in a business where you alone must set the direction.

Decisiveness:
Most of the time, you have no difficulty reaching decisions or carrying them through. Some people may find you overly hesitant and cautious, and you may spend time delaying over issues that are relatively unimportant. Decisiveness is important in building a business. If you did not score high in "Problem-solving", you should make the effort to become more decisive.

Focus:
If you scored in the middle on this dimension, you should try to become more decisive if you want to assure your success.

Destiny:
You feel in control of your own destiny for the most part, but sometimes you feel that good fortune or good connections are important to success. At times, you may blame yourself for events that are entirely beyond your control. A strong belief in personal control over events is one of the key factors identifying successful entrepreneurs. You should try to cultivate greater belief in your own abilities and efforts if you are going to build a really successful business.

Focus:
Not available

Energy Drive:
You don't always feel especially energetic, and sometimes other people may see you as apathetic. It's possible that your lack of energy stems from your unhappiness with your current job. You will feel more energetic once you start doing something you like better.

Focus:
It's important to make sure that you do have the energy you will need to sustain you along the way. Eat properly, exercise, look after your health - and don't push yourself beyond your personal limits.

Enterprise:
You have little interest in or knowledge of "trade skills". Buying, selling and negotiating are unexciting to you. You are much more interested in getting on with your work and in getting the job done.

Focus:
You would probably not do well in an environment, such as retail sales, where you would be required to play an up front sales role. You would do better in a more "back room" business, or one in which a partner or employee handled the sales function.

Growth Motiviation:
Although personal growth and development may important to you, you see your business as means of earning income more than as a means of expressing yourself as a person. You are comfortable with yourself as you are. You would probably be more happy in a traditional business than in one which required you to constantly learn new things..

Focus:
You scored in the middle on this dimension. You should work on improving this area if you want to be a successful self-starter.

Intuition:
You may often feel torn between "going with your feelings" and finding a logical, step-by-step approach to decision-making. Good intuition can be a tremendous asset in identifying and pursuing new business opportunities. Compared to corporate executives, people who start successful businesses are typically fare more intuitive in their decision-making. If you also scored high in "Decisiveness", you likely have what it takes to be successful. Sometimes, you find it difficult to justify your decisions to other people based on observable facts. If you find yourself trying to rely heavily on facts, you may find it helpful to have some more intuitive people around to advise you as your business grows.

Focus:
You scored in the middle on this dimension. You tend to rely on facts and figures most of the time. However, you also rely on your gut feelings for some decisions. You should try to rely on your intuition more if you want to be successful in business.

Opportunity Seeking:
You find it hard to spot opportunities; you may not think in these terms. Or you may have ideas, but be excessively negative in judging your ideas (eg "That will never work").

Focus:
Try not to be so hard on yourself and your ideas. Think them through first, then discuss them with people
whose opinions you value.

Perseverance:
When you experience setbacks, you may give up too soon. Perseverance is a key characteristic of successful business starters. Many actually failed in their first or second try, but ultimately went on to success. Perseverance in the wrong cause can be foolish, especially if you don't learn from your mistakes. But if you frequently feel the urge to quit, try to develop the resilience to keep on pushing.

Focus:
You scored in the middle on this dimension. You should try to develop a resilience to failure and keep on pushing. Perseverance is a key characteristic of successful business starters.

Problem Solving:
You may not see problem solving as one of your strengths. You may often be tempted to wait and see if a problem will take care of itself, but you can develop the confidence to tackle problems "head on".

Focus:
Most of the time, your problem-solving skills will be an asset in your business. But, at times you will try to avoid solving problems, and this can hurt your business. Good problem-solving skills are necessary in any business, so try to view problems as opportunities to develop and improve your business, rather than as annoyances.

Risk Tolerance:
You have a strong preference for security and stability. You worry about taking risks. In some cases you may behave with excessive caution.

Focus:
You should try to realistically assess the risks involved in any particular enterprise. At the same time, you should avoid placing yourself in situations that you will find uncomfortable such as going heavily into debt to launch your business.

Self Confidence:
You may have difficulty in giving yourself credit for your successes. A high level of self-confidence would help you in persevering in the face of obstacles, persuading lenders and winning customers. If you do not allow yourself to become discouraged by setbacks, you will develop a stronger belief in your own abilities.

Focus:
Your self-confidence will be of great help in persuading potential lenders and in winning customers for your business. Try not to let yourself become discouraged by setbacks.

Social Skills:
You are uncomfortable in many social situations. You would rather deal with ideas and objects than people, particularly large crowds of people. You don't like being in a position of having to influence and persuade people. You would rather stay in your office and get on with your work.

Focus:
To some extent, social skills can be learned through training (there are many public courses on offer) and practice, but if you scored low on this dimension, you might be better off in a business where you can work in relative isolation from other people, perhaps using a partner as a buffer between yourself and the world.

In order to not let this post grow too large, next results will be in seperate (next) post.

EMO:

Hmm.. I suggest you stop listening to Dashboard Confessional.... enough said... Now that you stopped looking at your shoes, how's the real world look?

Considering the fact that in several of those question I had no idea what the question was about, I think if I did I would have scored higher

No Louisana Quizes for me, since my scores on them would be close to 0.

HARD RIDDLES:
3/10


No TN quizes, since I don't know anything about that state either.

CREWMAN:

Engineering's your spiritual home.

Now, if you could just work on those social skills a bit more...

What gives with the 'hostile emotions'-sensing?

FAKE OR FOTOI must warn you, I usually suck at this sort of quiz.

Good! Seven out of ten answers were correct.
You have a good grip on reality. No need to see a therapist. Try again -- you might just qualify for the bonus round!

Wow!

MIDIEVAL PROFESSION:
And that's the last for today, I'll do more at a later time

our distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what's in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

Hmmm.

[copycat]

NOOOOOOOOO!
FireFox just crashed on me, thus obliviating the result of three quizes.
Okay, here we go again:

INNER GEEK = 2nd try:

19.9211 - Geek

Hmmm, that's even better than the result that was lost in cyberspace, and thus, IIRC, still better than my first attempt, so many days/weeks/months ago..

GOONIE:

you basically search for the "rich stuff" and are an adventure seeker. you want to save the goondocks.
Not that I have any idea who this is or what they're talking about...

COLLEGE PERSONALITY
This should be interesting, providing I can think of the same answers as some 15 mins ago last time

Learning style: Passive  (Score: 36/72)
Class discussions leave you cold. You prefer to listen to lectures and do your coursework. Colleges with larger classes may fulfill your needs.

College orientation: General education (Score: 39/72)
You see college as a time to explore ideas and career paths. Consider traditional liberal arts colleges with a wide range of majors.

Academic/social balance: Tipped (Score: 30/72)
You have a strong preference for either academics or social experiences. A balance between the two is not important to you.

Affection for knowledge: Developing (Score: 30/72)
You are less comfortable than high scorers with intellectual ideas and concepts. College may expose you to new classes and subjects that could be compelling.

Basic academic skills: You scored in between (Score: 51/72)
You scored in between solid and less solid skills. Read more and decide which aspects of each are true for you.

Social Consciousness: Individually focused (Score: 33/72)
Social responsibility is not a priority, and you're more comfortable pursuing your individual goals at college.

Independence: Less independent (Score: 45/72)
You may need a college with more structure. Consider schools with more required classes and planned activities.

Self-understanding: Less aware (Score: 30/72)
You're just beginning to know yourself, and you may not be clear about what you really want. Consider smaller, more supportive colleges.

School enthusiasm: You scored in between (Score: 51/72)
You scored in between enthusiastic and less interested. Read more and decide which aspects of each are true for you.

Eagerness for college: Less eager (Score: 42/72)
Think carefully about your motivation for attending college. Involving yourself in choosing schools will help you feel less like you're being pushed into college.

It's not completely the same as before, at least one of the results has changes somewhere in the beginning, and maybe one in the end too. In any way, considering I have the luxury of hindsight, some of the results are fairly accurate
More results at a later time, my current time has run out, and I am, once again, off for an undetermined time.

SELF-MONITORING:

Your score is 26, on a scale of 0 (low self-monitor) to 100 (high self-monitor). You are a MODERATELY LOW self-monitor.

That was to be expected.

HAT:

I am a Halo.

I believe I am perfect. Others may not think so, but those others are wrong.

FRENCH REGION:

You Are the Languedoc Region!

Your French Region Personality is the Languedoc. Bordering Spain and dotted by the Pyrenees Mountains, this region is sun-kissed and delightful. It features great beaches, quaint Medieval villages, outdoor recreation and the world's most popular nudist town. The wineries here produce robust varieties with cheap pricetags. Since the region is relatively undiscovered, the prices are low.

Sun-kissed? In that case, forget it!

JEDI PERSONALity:
Now that's not nice, first I get a time-out, and when I try to re-submit, they put an 'Oops, look at what you did now!' message telling me I can't.

TYPE OF SOCIAL ENTITY:
