That was the most delightfully ominous personality test I'd ever taken.

Well, with the exception of my elementary school teachers leaning over me, asking me who I think I am.

Mine was strangely accurate.. the questions are really wtf?


You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. Emotionally volatile, you are known for sudden changes of opinion, of appreciation, and behavior. Following rules and established methods is difficult for you and the difficulties of higher education are usually quite daunting. Knowledge is best gained through an intimate association with the matter at hand. Usually driven by attitudes and desires of the group, you are talented in an established field of endeavor. Emotions come and go without a strong understanding of their causes. They are unexpected guests in an otherwise placid landscape. You live by your own codes of conduct, which can be noble or terrible depending on the individual. Authority is meaningless to you. You hate to be predictable, at all costs. Rarely verbally effusive, you can at times feel as if your feelings are too deep for words. You are very observant, but rarely express these observations to others.

I usually think these are pretty BS, but mine is pretty damn close.

quote:

Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.

Mine wasn't remotely close, so I'm just gonna retake it as many times as necessary for it to produce the correct result, in which case I'll post it with a caption of 'WOW, this thing was SPOT ON!'

For every single question I found the two choices equally arbitrary, and alternated between clicking randomly and trying to discern some obscure symbolism from the shapes that would relate them to the question. Unsurprisingly the profile I got at the end was a load of shite.

My difficulty in taking it was that I felt compelled to identify and select the counter-intuitive option (despite it obviously not being a relevant consideration), and I couldn't determine if my answers reflected that, or whichever one I actually felt was appropriate.

Seems quite spot on.

quote:

Blustering through the world with the finesse of a thunderstorm, you are a natural leader, a creator of consensus. You will often plan out the future in deliberate and at times frustrating detail. This ability to create and to plan is sometimes expressed as a facility for the telling of tall tales.Your friends often find themselves assigned tasks or roles within the group. This can be very useful when action is called for and equally annoying when the idea at hand is rest and relaxation. When challenged, however, you can become cold and argumentative. Your understanding of the world is deliberate and well thought out. Your emotion comes in two varieties, either restrained and sincere, or else melodramatic and loud and usually inauthentic. Affection for you is best expressed through action, by doing things for the people you care about. This need to always be proactive can lead you to feel that there is no end to the trouble in your life.

pretty damn close

From the intro blurb I gather that one of the shapes is supposed to "feel" more right than the other, but when neither shape felt like anything at all I found myself mentally debating whether a series of white circles represented insanity better because they showed fragmentation, or whether a straight purple line was altogether too unerring and cold to match a sane human mind. I'm pretty sure that's not how you're supposed to make your decision.

I got my result by quickly glancing at both shapes and clicking whichever option registered in my head first.

The only one that got me thinking "Yup, I definitely feel something" was the 'which one wants to harm you' with the circle and the vaguely human-like blob, I chose that blob.

...or whether a single pulsating triangle was more trustworthy than an inclined series of three equally pulsating circles. I kept approaching each question as though I was attempting to resolve one of those perceptual illusion paintings, where your immediate reaction misses the broader image and scale of the painting.

Still a nice exercise in abstraction, even if I did manage to botch up a test with no wrong answers.
