Types of animal

Um... not too sure about this one! I hope I don't look quite like this photo, delightful though it is. Nor is the description much like me, but then again, what can I expect for such a short quiz?!

You're a Chimpanzee!

With a reputation for intelligence, you seem to always be smiling wherever you go. Whether you think this silly little planet is simply laughable or you're just happy most of the time is more difficult to discern. You're a little short, but you can pick up almost anything with your feet, using them almost as well as your hands. You love postcards and dressing up.

Book quiz

Only a few questions for this quiz, and a lovely book as my result! I guess the summary isn't too far from wrong either (except that it's cats who talk in our household, not rabbits).

You're Watership Down!

by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.

Homeschoolers, Hundred Acre Wood style

I found this on a couple of other home educators' blogs this morning: Deb's and Jax's. They were both Tigger-types. It was an interesting quiz, though sadly no accompanying graphic. Only really of relevance to those home educating, of course! Here's what my results said, and I think fairly accurate - at least in our earlier days:

You are a Pooh Homeschooler. Poohs, being
"bears of very little brain," may
feel that they aren't cut out to teach their
own kids. But if and when they get over the
fear, they are steadfast in overcoming
obstacles and raise kids with enough love to
make up for some gaps in their teaching
abilities.

Multiple Intelligences (again)

Multiple Intelligence theory is fascinating. I did a simpler questionnaire a while back which told me I had primarily linguistic intelligence. Here's the longer, more useful quiz I referred to at the time, which gives me equal highest linguistic and intrapersonal intelligences. I'm not sure what the numbers mean, it simply tells me that the higher scores indicate likely higher levels of strengths.

Linguistic	42
Mathematics	34
Visual/Spatial	29
Body/Kinesthetic	27
Naturalistic	28
Music	35
Interpersonal	24
Intrapersonal	42

Days of the Week

So, this tells me I'm Tuesday and easy to ignore. Sounds about right, I guess!

You scored as Tuesday. You are Tuesday. Heck, at least you're not Monday. You can be a good or bad day depending on what happens. You can also be ignored easily.

Christian traditions/denominations

Well this was an interesting one, certainly there are some quite thought-provoking questions.
As one who was brought up traditional Anglican (CofE in the UK), went to an Evangelical Anglican church for most of my adult life in the UK, with two years at an American Vineyard (charismatic) and now attending a non-denominational Community Church (in Cyprus) ... I'm intrigued to see that my beliefs are apparently 100% in line with both Wesleyan Methodists and Charismatic Assemblies of God. Hmm...

No nice graphic to indicate the results, but here they are pasted in:

1: Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene (100%)
2: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God (100%)
3: Congregational/United Church of Christ (91%)
4: Presbyterian/Reformed (90%)
5: Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England (83%)
6: Eastern Orthodox (81%)
7: Seventh-Day Adventist (80%)
8: Baptist (non-Calvinistic)/Plymouth Brethren/Fundamentalist (76%)
9: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.) (73%)
10: Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic) (73%)

12: Roman Catholic (46%)

Type of animal

Heavens. I'm getting hits from search engines for this blog already. It's getting harder to find reasonably interesting quizzes - too many of them at sites such as QuizFarm are just silly or rude. Incidentally, if anyone follows my links to these quizzes, or takes any of the others, please do rate them. That's the only way the better ones will be more visible. And if you happen to do a really stupid one, rate it low.

Anyway, for today's quiz I found this one - not particularly exciting but quite nice pictures. I wonder if our cats realise that I'm not another feline, though...

Learning styles

This was fun. I found the link on Gill's blog. Seventy questions that (in theory) indicate preferred learning style. Results out of a maximum of 20. Here's what my results said:

Visual 6 Aural 10 Verbal 15 Physical 9 Logical 11 Social 12 Solitary 18

Sounds about right. I'm primarily a solitary learner, it's true. Verbal learning comes high on the list, visual very low. That's visual as in images and pictures: reading, by contrast, is my main way of learning but I assume that's included under verbal.

Narnia books

Some interesting questions. Not sure about the results as it doesn't explain why (at least, not my one) - it just says what the book is about. The Horse and his Boy isn't my favourite Narnia book, but Prince Caspian is my least favourite.

You scored as The Horse and His Boy. You are the horse and his boy. This is my personal favorite Narnia story.

Blogging colour

Here's a slightly different one... my blogging 'colour'! I hadn't heard of most of the films mentioned so had to guess there, but I guess blue's as good as any.

My Blog Personality's True Color Is... BLUE It's all about peace and serenity. In everything that I do, I seek calmness. I do my best to stay away from stress and conflict. And, I try to reflect these things when I blog.

Lord of the Rings characters

Light-hearted, but with quite a lot of thoughtful questions. I seem to be about equally Sam or Frodo according to this, with Gollum as my lowest. Sounds OK to me!

World view

An interesting test. As with many, it doesn't distinguish Christianity from 'religion'. But given that that's fairly typical, the results are perhaps about right. Organised religion sounds terrible, after all. I'm simply an ordinary Christian, without any strong denominational ties. Church is where I meet other Christians. So I suppose 'spiritual but not religious' is about right.

But anyway, I like the sound of being a Cultural Creative. Second is postmodern, and that's probably right too. Bizarre picture though, it looks almost like a Buddha.

You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment. Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive.

Which theologian

I couldn't find this by a search at QuizFarm, for some reason. But I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Eventually I discovered it on Helen's blog. According to the comment I wrote at the time (six weeks ago) I scored 93% Anselm, followed by 67% Martin Luther and Karl Barth.

This time, I had the same top result, even down to the same percentage. Evidently I need to research Anselm (whoever he might be) since I apparently agree so strongly with his theology. The brief outline below sounds about right, but then most Christians think that way (don't they?)

However I have a couple of extras in that joint second place. I'm a bit surprised to see John Calvin so high up, since I'm pretty sure I'm no Calvinist. And I have no clue who Friedrich Schleiermacher might be. I'd go with Barth and Wesley, though. A mixture of both.

You scored as Anselm. Anselm is the outstanding theologian of the medieval period. He sees man's primary problem as having failed to render unto God what we owe him, so God becomes man in Christ and gives God what he is due. You should read 'Cur Deus Homo?' Anselm 93% John Calvin 67% Karl Barth 67% Friedrich Schleiermacher 67% Martin Luther 67% Augustine 40% Paul Tillich 40% Charles Finney 33% J�rgen Moltmann 33% Jonathan Edwards 27% Which theologian are you? created with QuizFarm.com

Internet addiction

I tried this quiz, thinking it would rate me as a hopeless case. I was rather surprised to find I'm considered well-balanced. Hmm. I knew there were a few people more addicted than me: maybe there are more than I thought! (And how on earth did it know I have an online journal?!)

Are you Addicted to the Internet? 51% Average@Internet-User.com (41% - 60%) You seem to have a healthy balance in your life when it comes to the internet and life away from the computer. You know enough to do what you want online without looking like an idiot (most of the time). You even have your own Yahoo club or online journal!

Orchestral Instruments

I thought this rather better than the instrument quiz (below) which only tested for stringed instruments.

On the other hand, this one said I was most like the viola. How embarrassing. (What's the range of a viola? About 30 metres if you kick it hard enough. How do you stop your violin from being stolen? Use a viola case for it. What's a chord? Three violas playing in unison. And many more.)

But anyway, here's what it said, for what it's worth!

Extraverted traits?

Well I KNOW I'm not an Extravert. It's the one Myers-Briggs 'letter'I have no doubt about at all. So I didn't expect to get anything on this quiz. In fact it seems to have tested for a variety of traits, not merely Extraversion. It's true that my activity levels and excitement-seeking are extremely low, but I thought I was reasonably friendly. Ah well.

Church models

I'm not sure I entirely understood this one, but the questions were quite interesting - albeit geared towards traditional liturgical churches and including questions about hymns which I mostly hadn't heard of. I guess the result sounds about right, although when I did this one before it gave me 'Herald' as my top model. Now it's top equal and there was a tie-break question. So I suppose I see it as mystical communion AND herald, which sounds about right. Like postmodern/emergent AND holiness/Wesleyan, on the one below about styles of worship.

You scored as Mystical Communion Model. Your model of the church is Mystical Communion, which includes both People of God and Body of Christ. The church is essentially people in union with Christ and the Father through the Holy Spirit. Both lay people and clergy are drawn together in a family of faith. This model can exalt the church beyond what is appropriate, but can be supplemented with other models.

Musical Instruments

I was a bit disappointed that the results from this quiz only gave stringed instruments. I think I'd rather like to be a flute, personally. But anyway...

You scored as Cello. You are the Cellist! Congratulations, you play the most beautiful and expressive of string instruments! Cellos don't always get the melody, but when they do, they put violinists and trumpeters to shame with their fantastically beautiful sound. Perfect for someone who likes the lower end, but doesn't want to just play rhythm parts all the time.

Lord of the Rings characters

There are a few of these floating around, some better than others. This didn't have many questions but gave me the same result as some of the others. Either I'm Galadriel or I'm Arwen, depending on the test. I think I prefer to be Galadriel.

Galadriel If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Galadriel, Elf, Queen of Lothlorien, wife of Celeborn and grandmother of Arwen. In the movie, I am played by Cate Blanchett. Who would you be? Zovakware Lord of the Rings Test with Perseus Web Survey Software

Better Enneagram test

This is, in my opinion, by far the best online Enneagram test. It's a pity that the site is about 'New Age' things like chakras (whatever they might be!) and generally rather mystical, as it tends to put a lot of people off. Particularly Christians. But the Enneagram has been used in the church and by Christians as well as by those of other faiths (or none) for a long time now. It's simply another measure of personality, based primarily on the masks we adopt during childhood. These depend partly on inborn temperament, partly on our parents and others around us, partly on our culture, and probably on many more things besides. For me, understanding other people is vital before I can communicate; so it's important also to understand myself.

This test looks more at motivations than behaviours, which is why it tends to be more accurate than others. It also makes it clear that the given type is only an indication - that it may not be the actual one. Having said that, this is the site that always ranks me as a type Nine, which is the one I believe to be correct.

Enneagram Test Results

You are most likely a type 9.

Taking wings into account, you seem to be a 9w1.

No personality test is completely accurate. Although several measures were taken to make this test as accurate as possible, there's always a chance that you are not typed correctly by it. Therefore, when deciding which Enneagram type you are, you might also want to consider the types with the highest test scores on the lists below.

(Note that your lowest scores may be omitted.)

Type 9 - 12.7
Type 5 - 10.3
Type 2 - 6.3

Myers-Briggs and Enneagram combined

Well here's a strange one. The two best-known popular personality tests, Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram, all in one questionnaire. 102 questions in all, with scales of agreement rather than yes/no options, so easier than some. I don't think I've seen a combined one before.

Once again I seem to have got INFJ as my result in the Myers-Briggs scale. With silly percentages that should be ignored. However it gave me type 5 on the Enneagram. That's what online Ennea tests usually give me, but it's almost impossible to determine Ennea type from a test like this. Fives are withdrawn people who hoard either time, or knowledge, or possessions. I'm quiet and withdrawn, but although I thought I was a Five for a while, I eventually discovered (after much reading and discussion) that I"m a type Nine.

But anyway, an interesting test.

Jung/Myers-Briggs at HumanMetrics

For what it's worth, and for future reference, here's one of the much-used online tests which (supposedly) gives the Myers-Briggs type. I think the questions aren't bad, and it gave me INFJ which is currently the type I think is probably mine. But then again, perhaps I was biassed in my answers.

What I don't like about this one is that it allocates percentages to the letters. How silly. In the official MBTI, the percentages simply show how likely the answers are to be correct. They don't show the actual strength of preference - such a thing isn't possible anyway. Besides, as some answers are likely to be borderline, that could change from day to day, whereas our type (and temperament) are supposedly fixed at birth.

Anyway, here's what it told me:

Philosophy of life

This was a longish one, where some of the questions were quite tricky to answer accurately. The person creating the quiz seemed to think that if someone were a Christian (or indeed religious in any form) then they'd see their religion as controlling them - which I don't. I believe God made us thinking, feeling beings, and that our relationship with him is more important than any kind of rules.

Which means that 'divine command' (which, I take it, means having a 'religious' philosophy of life) comes second in my list, and existentialism first. Hmmmm. I suppose that goes along with my results below that, after Christianity, my beliefs are most like those of Buddhists or Pagans.

You scored as Existentialism. Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life. 'Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.' 'It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.' --Jean-Paul Sartre 'It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.' --Blaise Pascal More info at Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page...
