Results are in...

So, as you might have noticed from my previous post, I took a bunch of quizzes to discover whether or not I really have a type-A personality or not. While my research was quite conclusive, and my methods faultless, I'll leave it up to you to interpret the results:


Your score is 5!

1-5: You're a real team player. People have to earn your trust, as they should. You've got a perfect handle on life.



Your score is 6!

6-10: There are nice people and not-so-nice people. Don't you think it's a little boring to be in the wishy-washy middle ground?

Your Existing Situation

Relatively inactive and in a static condition, while conflict of one sort or another prevents peace of mind. Unable to achieve relationships of the desired degree of mutual affection and understanding.




  • You are a WRCF--Wacky Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you a Paul Begala.
  • You are unflappable and largely unconcerned with others' reactions to you. You were not particularly interested in the results of this test, and probably took it only as a result of someone else asking you to.
  • You have a biting wit and intense powers of observation. No detail is lost on you, and your friends know it--relying on you to have the facts when others express only opinions. You are even-tempered, friendly, and educated. Foolish strangers may mistake your mildness for weakness--they will be surprised.
  • You entire approach to life is enviable. You will raise good kids.









You are 14% geek. OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.



My pirate name is:


Black Tom Rackham



Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!


Arr.
Ben, the Year 2003 will have lots of ups and downs for your love life. It's easy for you to meet new people as you are easy going and fun to be with. You shouldn't expect to find your true love in every flirt. Don't be impatient and give your relationships some time to grow. When a flirt doesn't develop into something more, you will sooner or later find another sweet girl. The Year 2003 has lots of opportunities for you to find your true love. Good luck!




Your score is 85. Kissing is definitely your thing and you do it well. Keep up your skills by kissing that special someone often.

You are...
The Cingulate Gyrus!!!


Brainalicious!

Snugly encircling the superior thalamus, and sitting atop the corpus callosum, you are an integral part of the limbic system. You remain a mystery, but common thought is that your reciprocal connections to the frontal cortex and limbic system link decision-making and emotion! Although you are mushy in consistency, you are a great friend to those around you and your word is as solid as oak. You detest it when people prod you, so you do need to lighten up a bit. All in all, though, you are a solid citizen. (And without you, people often find themselves unable to talk or move!)



I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile.
Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away
I let mine out, and chatter all the while.

I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day
Is any day that's spent without a friend,
With nothing much to do or hear or say.

I like to be with people, and depend
On company for being entertained;
Which seems a good solution, in the end.


Green Scents

Natural is a word often used to describe style and fragrance. To you, "natural" describes the flair of Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston. Both are elegant style junkies, but never over the top, never overdone, always giving off an air of almost innocent enchantment and earthy good nature. You, dear, have the sensibility of the All-American It Girl.

You Are Emperor Palpatine!


Ben, You scored 55 percent in this test!

Ben, your witty comments and your seductive looks hit the bulls-eye every time. If somebody knows how to flirt then it's you. No matter if your heartthrob is shy or a go-getter, you know exactly how to bring her out of her shell and twist her around your little finger. When you're interested in somebody, you'll really get things moving. Because you are sensitive and know how to put yourself into your heartthrob's position, it's easy for you to give attention to your partner.


How Smart Are You?
Congratulations! You got a score of 10/10!
Your Rating: This is not the first time you made this test!

You Are: Rock/Pop! Get into the groove! You tend to be upbeat, so your music should be too. You love to dance and feel the beat. You've probably been known to sing in the car and bop around in your seat. There's no doubt rock 'n' roll revolutionized music, so be proud to be a part of the pop culture.


Denethor, Son of Ecthelion, Lord and Steward of Minas Tirith
People like you are rare. Unfortunately the closest person is Denethor. His obsession with knowing the future and suspicion of others is characteristic.

Everything that happens is important and you do not want to miss any of it. Others often look to you for courage, leadership, and wisdom. Social interaction energizes you. The more people the merrier. You have a tendency to introspection. While providing compassion and being considerate, you may have the tendency of being soft-hearted or even "too emotional" You like keeping your options open. Closure is probably not one of your strong suits.

The Orcs display the evil side of this personality with their lengthy torture methods.

Traits: Empathic, benevolent, looking to the future. On the dark side you could be sadistic.


You're a reliable and practical friend who can be counted on to come through when needed. You are rarely unprepared and would prefer to play it safe rather than take an unnecessary risk: Your ride is a Toyota Camry or Honda Civic


Case closed.

Those are a lot of tests to take.
I used to do tests on quizilla and other places like that out of boredom all the time. I can't remember specific results except one that told me I was so drug free I got fig newton on the "what drug are you test".

But I think I've taken the same HP one but I don't recall results,the picture is just familiar from seeing the pics for the quiz.

I always enjoy quizes like that when I'm bored. There's nothing like someone else trying to tell you who you are.

Dude, are you kidding me? You couldn't be type-A if you organized your entire life in excruciating detail around trying to become type-A. You're the one who didn't realize you were going to California until the week you left. You're as type-A as J-A is reticent. The reason you are the best natural Wyman is not because of your driven nature. Trust me on this one.

After reading your posts I took the control freak test. I was only an 8. I figured I would be higher. Of course I didn't like any of the answers on a couple of the questions and had to just pick the closest. Maybe that altered my score.
