    You Are a Blue Crayon
    Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.
    You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.
    On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.
    However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.

    Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

    What Your Favorite Color Green Says About You:
    Balanced --- Relaxed --- Flexible
    Compassionate --- Philosophical --- Humble
    Loyal --- Inventive --- Unique


    You Are 68% Open Minded
    You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded.
    Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints.
    But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line.
    You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

    Your Dominant Thinking Style: Experimenting
    You're all about looking at the facts, and you could always use more of them.
    You see life as your lab - and you're always trying out new things, people, and ideas.

    The master of mix and match, you're always coming up with unique combinations.
    You are good at getting a group to reach consensus.

    You Are a Seeker Soul
    You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
    You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
    Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
    Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).

    Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
    And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you.
    You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically.
    Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas.

    Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul

    Your Personality is Very Rare (INFP)
    Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.

    Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
    You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.

    Your Personality Cluster is Introverted Feeling
    You are:

    Tolerant, flexible, and open to new ideas.
    A stickler for integrity and authenticity.
    Passionate about causes, beliefs, or politics.
    Likely to have many "best friends" from many walks of life

    Your Quirk Factor: 73%
    You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal.
    No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average."


    You Are Snow
    Magical yet potentially destructive
    You are well known as fun to play with
    People anticipate your arrival but then
    are quickly sick of you
    {westward ho inserts a hearty "LMAO" here}

    You are best known for: your serenity {HA!}

    Your dominant state: reflecting {*snurtle*}

    You Should Drive a Jaguar XK 4.2
    You don't care how you get there as long as you get there with class.
    And having a little power doesn't hurt either!

    You Are A Walnut Tree
    You are strange and full of contrasts... the oddball of your group.
    You are unrelenting and you have unlimited ambition.
    Not always liked but always admired, you are more infamous than famous.
    You are aggressive and spontaneous, and your reactions are often unexpected.
    A jealous and passionate person, you are difficult in romantic relationships.


    You Are a Mac
    (of COURSE i am; what else would i be?)
    You are creative, stylish, and super trendy.
    You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg.


    i love photography, cooking, gardening, philosophy, interior design, architecture, music, folklore, fiction, non-fiction, art, film, dance, theatre, travel and comedy, preferably all at once.


    after all these years, i'm still a pinko commie liberal. or close enough:

    Times New Roman, Times, serif';color:inherit;"> Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2
    "Sky falls, you feel like
    It's a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away"

    You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.
    And if you're feeling down    , even that seems a little beautiful too.



    it'd be easier to list what i DON'T like -- and that includes most pop, country-pop, and anything that reeks of overblown sentimentality. otherwise, i like classic rock, indie rock, alt rock, punk rock, metal, opera, gospel, folk music, world music, new age music (as long as it isn't cloying or treacly), pure country, bluegrass, the blues, some jazz, ragtime, show tunes, swing, and standards.

    Which Pride and Prejudice Character Are You?

    Which Jane Austen Character Are You?

    You are Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. You're pretty arrogant, but that pride stems from the deep-seated knowledge that you are generally the most superior creature in any given room. The good news is that you are deeply loyal to your family, and you have a generous and charitable streak, even though most people don't notice because you are too busy practicing a large vocabulary of stern looks.

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

8 - the Asserter

you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").

"I must be strong"

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Stand up for yourself... and me.
  • Be confident, strong, and direct.
  • Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
  • Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
  • Give me space to be alone.
  • Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
  • I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
  • When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a EIGHT

  • being independent and self-reliant
  • being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
  • being courageous, straightforward, and honest
  • getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
  • supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
  • upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a EIGHT

  • overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
  • being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
  • sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  • never forgetting injuries or injustices
  • putting too much pressure on myself
  • getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

EIGHTs as Children Often

  • are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
  • are sometimes loners
  • seize control so they won't be controlled
  • fugure out others' weaknesses
  • attack verbally or physically when provoked
  • take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

EIGHTs as Parents

  • are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
  • are sometimes overprotective
  • can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

..t-->My score on../t--> The Would You Have Been a Nazi Test:

The Resistance
(Achtung! You are 30% brainwashworthy, 31% antitolerant, and 42% blindly patriotic)



Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side. Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak. Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations! Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance! The Would You Have Been A Nazi? Test - it rules -

..t-->My score on../t--> The Classic Dames Test:

Katharine Hepburn
(You scored 23% grit, 33% wit, 38% flair, and 14% class!)



You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women. Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
