Personality and career test

Thanks to Merry for this one. I'm certainly an Idealist in Myers-Briggs/Keirseyan temperament theory, and the suggested professions do sound around right, if I were starting over again.

How cynical are you?

Yes, I think this sounds spot on!

You Are 24% Cynical

Generally you give people the benefit of the doubt. But there are exceptions. You buy into many of the things that mainstream society believes, but you're not anybody's fool.

How Cynical Are You?

What year do you belong in?

I hadn't heard of most of the items in this questionnaire so I did a lot of guessing, but I guess the 1960s description is about the best. I was five in 1965.

You Belong in 1965

If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

What Year Do You Belong In?

What colour blue?

Well, I don't think I'm 'driven' but I suppose the rest isn't far wrong:

You are Ocean Blue

You're both warm and practical. You're very driven, but you're also very well rounded. You tend to see both sides to every issue, and people consider you a natural diplomat.

What Color Blue Are You?

How vain are you?

Well I've never been particularly concerned with appearance, so I guess this is about right:

You Are 19% Vain

You don't have a vain bone in your body - almost as a matter of principal. You demand to be judged on who you are, not what you look like.

How Vain Are You?

What world leader?

I found this questioinnaire via Jax and Tim's blog. Fairly accurate, I guess... not that I have the least desire to be any kind of leader, nor to be assassinated!

Thanks to Sarah and Jax for this one:

What Gender is your Brain?

Um...

Your Brain is 67% Female, 33% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

How stressed are you?

A bit predictable, but I guess this is about right...

Your Stress Level is: 20%

You are not prone to stress or worry. While everyone encounters stress in life, you've learned to deal with it well. You know how to keep productive and creative, even when times are tough.

How Stressed Are You?

What are your deadly sins?

Well, I'd definitely agree that sloth is my biggest problem amongst this list. Not so sure about gluttony (however I do love chocolate), but I'm relieved to know I'm not showing signs of the others.

However I'm entirely confident I shall be going to Heaven eventually!

Your Deadly Sins

Sloth: 80%

Gluttony: 60%

Envy: 0%

Greed: 0%

Lust: 0%

Pride: 0%

Chance You'll Go to Hell: 20%

You will die while sleeping - and no one will notice.

How Sinful Are You?

Do you have a Type B personality?

Type B, huh? I guess that's the opposite of Type A. And yes, the description sounds about right for me. Interesting quiz with rather more questions than usual for this kind.

You Have A Type B Personality

You're as laid back as they come... Your baseline mood is calm and level headed Creativity and philosophy tend to be your forte Like a natural sedative, you have a soothing effect on people Friends and family often turn to you first with their problems You have the personality to be a spiritual or psychological guru

Do You Have a Type B Personality?

What Kind of Artist?

I really am NOT an artist. Not in the painting/drawing sense, anyway. Nor a computer artist, nor a designer... So I wondered what this blogthing might turn up. But although I'm not a poet, I'm certainly a writer so it's not far wrong. Hmmm.

You Should Be a Poet

You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences. Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it!

What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

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."

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 Advanced Degree Should You Get?

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 Color Red Are You?

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 Time Of Day Are You?

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.

What Color Flower Are You?

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 is Your Self Esteem?

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...

Are You A Good Cook?

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).

What European City Do You Belong In?
