Fit for midlife?

A slightly less frivolous quiz than usual, and no nice graphic with the answer. Oh, and it's a site that's trying to sell you something, but I ignored the sign-up section at the end. The questions supposedly tell you whether or not you're prepared for mid-life, in three different categories, although it doesn't say what the maximum is in each one.

Whatever...

Your 'Symptoms' Score is 49. Your 'Diet' Score is 31. Your 'Lifestyle' Score is 44. Your Total Score is 124.

and just below it says:
  • 101 - 140 - Brilliant - you are ready for midlife whenever it comes. Keep up your good diet and exercise and just make sure you don't put on the pounds.
Are you fit for mid-life?

Global personality

Well this was an interesting one... looks like an ongoing project, looking at personality traits and whether they're connected with location. I think the description is about right for me, based on such a short test. Cyprus isn't mentioned in the lists, but then it's such a small country it's likely that not many of the locals have taken the test. And I'm not actually a Cypriot so my answers may have skewed the stats slightly.

oh, and the HTML in the answer given didn't work so I had to copy the graphic, then increase its font size.

Anyway:

Which season

Short but sweet, and once again the description is not bad. Although Spring is my favourite season, I guess winter describes me as a person better.


xfh
You're a Winter. You very much enjoy your time
alone but do like other people's company
sometimes. You just need your space. You have a
few priviledged friends who saw past your
colder exterior to find the true you. You can
have pretty bad mood swings (though you hate to
admit it) so you could be soft one second then
storming around the next! But over all, you're
a very pleasant person once people take the
time to get to know you. You're a good friend
for in-depth talks. You're very talanted when
it comes to creative things.

Time periods

A slightly different slant on the Periods of History quiz at Quizfarm which I took a while back ... this one is from Quizilla. I found the link on the unusually titled Worship Naked blog. Oddly enough, the results are similar! The Quizfarm quiz told me I was equally at home in Renaissance times or the Middle Ages. This one tells me Mediaeval times. Hmm... OK if I were in the upper classes, I suppose.

castle
MEDIEVAL ENGLAND
Famous Ruler: King Edward III
Living Quarters: Castles
Hardship: The Black Plague
Who wouldn't want to live in the "fairy
tale-like" days of knights and castles?

Brain patterns!

This was a strange one - just a single picture to choose. I found it on Marla Swoffer's blog which has been renamed Always Thirsty.

But oddly enough, the description isn't so far off-beam.

Your Brain's Pattern

You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.
But when you do share what you're thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.

Flavour of ice cream

So having not seen any quizzes for ages, I saw this one today on the Life's Laundry blog. Only a few questions... and as I had no idea what most of the TV shows were I had to select the news as my favourite. But anyway...



Your Icecream Flavour is...Neopolitan!
You aren't satisfied with just one flavor. They say variety is the spice of life and this shines through in your Ice cream of choice! Just don't eat all the chocolate and leave the strawberry and vanilla behind!

Which book of the Bible?

It's been a while since I did any of these quizzes - they do seem to come and go in spurts. Anyway, this is a slightly different one... I'm not sure I'd have associated with the book of Proverbs particularly, but the description's probably not too far off.


You are Proverbs
You are Proverbs.
