What's your Inner Power?

A questionnaire from Quizilla this time, one of their better ones I thought, despite a rather New-Agey feel, and not a bad result:





Understanding- Your inner power is Understanding! Lifes many mysteries have become your ultimate goal to work out. You are neither a good or bad person, just very neutral, very stable. You look down on nothing or anyone, merely observe their point of view and make no judgments. You can be seen as very shadowy and uncertain in what you believe in to an outsider, but this isnt always true. You simply dont flaunt your views around. You have a few, close friends who rely on you, and love you for the way your never scorn for the way they live their lives. You are very caring and would make a great mother, seeing you always try to help those who come to you for your aid. You are extremely hard to anger, and yet when you are, your forgiveness is hard to gain. You are loyal, secretive, very quiet and often impassive, with few able to break around the wall that you built to protect yourself. Not everyone acknowledges you even exist, but you dont really care. As long as you have your close friends by your side, you are right to go. Although they might not voice it, many people long to have your ability to accept change as well as what cant be changed. Dont ever let others bring you down, because you are truly special, and those who have the courage to venture passed your walls of silence will only regret not having tried to befriend you sooner.

Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet: The mysterious boy/girl. The one who no one knows much about. You are attracted to him/her by the secrecy around him/her, and he/she loves how stable and unjudging you are.

Your stone/jewel: Sapphire

Your power:
Life. The ability to bring those who have died back to life, as well as bring life back into those who have lost all hope.

Your element:
Lunar

A quote that applies to you:
"Do not be 'against' anything. Being 'against' weakens you. Be 'for' what you want. Being 'for' empowers you."

Take this quiz!

What Advanced Degree?

Blogthings seem to be getting better. Here's another one, thanks to Deb for the link. I think it's probably true of me, not that I ever want to go back to formal studying. But if I did, this is what I'd most likely choose (well, not political science, but literature and philosophy):

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)

You're a great thinker and a true philosopher.
You'd make a talented professor or writer.

What colour red?

Goodness me, yet another 'Blogthing' with fairly interesting questions and a surprisingly accurate response:

You Are Red Orange

You are a very genuine person, although it takes a while for you to show the true you.
A bit introverted, you desire respect and affection from those close to you.
You are quite empathetic, and you have a true concern for the well being of others.
Many people have warm, heartfelt memories of you - even if you don't remember them well.

What time of day?

Yet another short quiz from 'blogthings'- and once again I thought the results reasonably accurate:

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

What colour flower?

Another 'blogthing', not many questions but I thought the results not bad:

You Are a Blue Flower

A blue flower tends to represent peace, openness, and balance.
At times, you are very delicate like a cornflower.
And at other times, you are wise like an iris.
And more than you wish, you're a little cold, like a blue hydrangea.

Self-esteem

I guess this one is about right...

You Have Low Self Esteem 12% of the Time

Which can be translated to mean, you have high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth.
You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

How good a cook?

Sometimes 'Blogthings' have rather silly questions and even more ludicrous answers, but I thought this one wasn't bad, though a bit predictable. I should think anyone who does any cooking at all would get this kind of answer - I'm no great cook, and always like to keep things simple, but I do cook rather than using instant meals or takeaways. And yes, it did take me many years of trial and error (or trial and improvement, as it seems to be called these days) to get to the stage of being confident in the kitchen.

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...

Which European City?

I don't know why blogthings assumes that all readers are from the USA.. this is another quiz that treats European cities as unusual, American ones as more normal. But still, I thought the result reasonably accurate - not that I'd actually want to live in Amsterdam.

You Belong in Amsterdam

A little old fashioned, a little modern - you're the best of both worlds. And so is Amsterdam.
Whether you want to be a squatter graffiti artist or a great novelist, Amsterdam has all that you want in Europe (in one small city).
