are the results to a whole slew of tests I took at emode.com - if you're bored enough to read all
of it, maybe you should go take some as well! I'm
such a sucker for tests like this. They may not be
entirely accurate, but they usually give good general
info, I guess. Well here goes! I made it easier for you to read my results by making a link to each one, so click away.

Skydiver You're a free-spirited, independent, action-crazed lunatic. You love movies with sex and violence, and you drive like a maniac. "Anything for a good time," is your motto, even if that means dancing half-dressed on some booze-slicked bar. But let's face it, you're so fun, interesting, and gung-ho about life that people find you irresistible no matter what you do. You're open and extroverted, and chances are you're pretty liberal (ever thought of giving nudism a try?). Plus, you can work a crowd, baby. You're like a magnet for love and affection. People adore you. They'll cross a busy street just to get a closer look at you. And, thanks to that healthy dose of self-confidence, you're super-flexible - it takes a real downer to make you blue. Your friends are probably all just like you, and we wouldn't be surprised to hear that you're all plotting to take over some Caribbean island. You're a great leader at work. You're a self-starter and will always volunteer to take on a job if no one else is up for the task. Plus, you're an excellent communicator and tend to spread your enthusiasm to others. But routine work makes you act up and throw things, and then people don't like you so much anymore. ------------- Your inner rock star
is Bjork ------------- You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart. ------------- Your type is the Goofball Laughter is the way to your heart. A guy with a great sense of humor is definitely the one for you! You want a Goofball, someone who can laugh at himself and make you laugh, too. There's no bigger turn-off than a guy who takes himself too seriously. You know that if a guy is silly, he's generally self-confident and secure. Your man is a people magnet and everyone's favorite friend. There's never a dull moment with your jokester nearby. You crave excitement and laughter, and your goofball enhances those things in your life. You probably think life is too short to spend it without a smile. Your goofy guy will ensure that that doesn't happen - his lighthearted and silly ways make everything a little bit brighter. ------------ You are an Intellect If you were one of Charlie's Angels, you'd definitely be Sabrina, the brains behind the operation. Besides the fact that you're well-read and have an insatiable desire to learn, you can hold your own in any intellectual sparring match. With a wall full of diplomas, or at least a few in the works, your hobbies and interests reflect your intelligence. Whether you're reading the New York Times or catching up on the latest independent film, it's clear that your wheels are always spinning. You probably aced your SATs, tend to scoff at "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (even though you know all the answers), and kick butt at Trivial Pursuit. Guys love the challenge of trying to seduce you. Your brainpower drives them crazy, and you're smart enough to know that it puts you in the driver's seat. ----------- What Zodiac Sign Should You Be? A Scorpio! The planets are very complex. Maybe your astrologer will disagree, and maybe a few tendencies will vary, but overall you're a SCORPIO. You're just like a water sign, which comes out in the way you're so in tune with your emotions and your intuitions. Your symbol is a scorpion, which represents your secretive nature and your ability to emit a powerful poison when vengeful. A bundle of contradictions, you have the ability to demonstrate both the best and worst qualities that characterize human nature. Generally, you are intense and passionate, yet stubborn and competitive. You use your intuition fearlessly, and you have a tendency to explore the nature of existence through the study of philosophy and religion. Although it is difficult for you to trust others, whenever you finally do, the result is deep and powerful. On the downside, however, you must work hard to suppress your jealousy. Your dedication, drive, and persistence will guarantee you success, and you are known and respected for your imagination and idealism. Some famous Scorpios: Prince Charles ---------- So, did you hear the one about the funny flirt? You probably have, because it's you! Being a Silly Flirt, you know that laughter is often the quickest way to someone's heart. Your conversations with "potentials" are always peppered with the latest jokes and catchphrases, and you'll do anything - including humiliating yourself - to get the object of your affection to crack a smile. Just make sure that your quest for yuks doesn't blind you to other flirting approaches. You don't want to be stuck in "pal" purgatory. Sometimes a soft brush on the arm or a lingering look wins more points than even the funniest story. We're not saying you need to jump in someone's lap tomorrow (unless you think it might get you a big guffaw...), but a little directness could take you a long way. Still, until you're ready to expand your act, it's great to keep 'em laughing. ---------- You're On the Verge We won't call the Vice Squad quite yet, but you're just a few crazy nights away from officially becoming "naughty." You've broken your share of rules - maybe had a few flings, taken some serious risks, embellished the truth every now and again to save your skin - but you're still nice when it counts. If it's dangerous, cruel, or really illegal, chances are you haven't done it. Which is probably just as it should be. We all like to walk on the wild side now and then (it can be so much fun to be bad!), but it's important to strike a balance and keep your urges in check. You're doing pretty darn well so far - keep up the good work! ---------- Mmm ... cinnamon! Fiery and intoxicating, you're the flavor of Hot Tamales and Atomic Fireballs. To put it plainly, they don't call you red-hot for nothing! You're passionate and creative, an impulsive person who puts your heart and soul into everything you do. You definitely know how to have fun - in fact, your adventurous and spontaneous tendencies might even be called explosive. And you're not afraid to speak your mind, either; your hot-blooded nature won't stand for secrecy or repression. You're all about going with your gut feelings, expressing yourself, and living in the now. Exhilarating and intense, you're a truly tasty treat. ----------- Are You an Optimist or a Pessimist? Geez, who rained on your parade? Okay, so you don't have the same Eeyore-ish attitude as a true pessimist, but you definitely aren't expecting good things to happen, either. Even when the weatherman is sure of sun, you carry an umbrella. And we're willing to bet that you're at least somewhat sarcastic - you like making fun of those suckers who are always looking on the bright side of life. You don't trust people readily; they have to earn their spot in your good graces. (In fact, you may even feel like you have enough friends and don't really need any more.) After all, nobody's giving you anything in this world - it's every man for himself. But you're not completely devoid of hope. Admit it: Somewhere deep inside is a tiny part of you that truly believes at least one cloud out there has a silver lining. Try listening to that part a little more often and see what happens. -------- The test you've just taken is a short version of the Five Factor model of identity. Among psychology experts, this approach has become broadly accepted for its accuracy and consistency. The five dimensions in this model give a complete description of your personality traits: Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness and Negative Emotionality. Read below to see your scores and understand what they mean. Openness To
Experience | Conscientiousness | Extraversion Openness To Experience Your high score in
the Openness category means that you probably have a
strong creative streak. Your broad intellectual curiosity
and your interest in the various arts set you apart. Some
people may consider you somewhat of a dreamer, and your
taste for variety often means moving quickly on to the
next experience. This tendency makes you appear a bit
flighty and inconsistent. But these elements of your
personality simply reflect a character full of new ideas
and charged with emotions. Conscientiousness Your medium score
in the Conscientiousness category means that you have
achieved a solid balance in your outlook towards
responsibility. You are probably somewhat organized, with
a little room for improvement. Your priorities probably
reflect a mix of work and play. Thoughtfulness
characterizes your thinking style, so you give gravity to
important decisions without making a big deal out of
minor issues. You are probably serious about achieving
success, but do not feel completely driven by this
motivation. All in all, you've got a very healthy
perspective on work and duty. Extraversion Your low score in
the Extraversion category indicates that your have an
introverted social identity. Given the choice, you prefer
keeping to yourself. Your independent nature is
characterized by a reserved and steady demeanor. You keep
to the background, and probably maintain a relatively
quiet and inactive social life. Your social style earns
you the reputation as somewhat aloof, because you don't
care much for company. Your emotional state is quite
reserved, and you are seldom known for qualities of
exuberance. Agreeableness The Agreeableness
category refers to your social disposition. Your medium
score indicates someone who balances the priorities of
your own inner voice with the needs of others. You tend
to be concerned with the harmony of the group, while
maintaining a certain independence. Depending on the
situation, you might adopt a stance that defers to the
wishes of others, or else assert your own individuality.
In this way, you have a great deal of tact, and believe
in the situational equality of people. You probably have
an approachable and kind personality. People probably
admire you for your ability to speak your mind when
appropriate. Negative Emotionality Negative Emotionality refers to your emotional reactivity. Your medium score means that you're someone who negotiates your emotions depending on your situation. Sometimes you may feel quite sensitive and emotional, while other times you may remain resilient to outside pressures. This quality of adaptation best describes your emotional character. You maintain a rational outlook, which is moderated by feelings. For example, you can sometimes feel sad, stressed, worried or embarrassed under the weight of a situation, but you are able to act quite calm and reserved, without yielding to the stress. Responsive, without being overly reactive, is the best way to describe you. ------------ You are a Great Dane. No bones about it, you're the Adonis of all dogs - a Great Dane. Your perfect mix of brains and brawn wins you legions of fans wherever you go. Just snap your fingers and the crowd comes running. Sophisticated and friendly, your laid-back temperament makes you popular and easy to talk to. Classy and smooth, cool and confident, who wouldn't want a Great Dane at the end of their leash? No one - woof! ----------- Will Smith You seem to be looking for someone who can show you a really good time and never leave you with a dull moment. Will Smith is destined to be your Fresh Prince! Your choices reflect an energetic disposition and an appreciation for an exciting relationship. This smooth-talking, fun-loving, hip-hoppin' star will keep you entertained through the night. We can already imagine your first date: After a full day of golfing, this playful charmer will show you how to shake your thing on the dance floor. His contagious energy and sexy smile will send you into a state of pure ecstasy. After spending one Wild Wild night with this hot rapper, you'll be begging him to get jiggy with you. ----------- Well, you're kinda
evil. They haven't reserved a place for you in Hell yet,
but the leasing agents are starting their calls. (Sorry,
no air conditioning.) We're guessing you find others'
pain funny, your backstabbing knife is probably pretty
sharp, and your sexual wiles have likely brought you
enjoyment at the expense of your bunkmates a time or two.
If more than one of those three things rings true,
consider yourself a card-carrying evil person. If you're
interested in recanting the evil thing, sensitivity
counseling isn't a bad idea. Or else find a more sadistic
career, like a bouncer or a metermaid. But hey, to each
his own, and if your evilness fits, wear it. Keep reading
for more evil details! not sexually
evil-sexually evil We're all slaves to
our urges - some just more than others. Sure, you
probably shake it a little to get your way, but you don't
beat yourself up over it (unless you're into that, of
course). For your own sake, realize that getting hurt
sexually generally stings more than being burnt with your
clothes on. So even if your pillow pal has a mean set of
love handles, keep it to yourself. Just listen to that
little voice in your head (no, not that one), and the
evil sex thing will stop. not passive
aggressive-passive aggressive Yes, you're always
smiling, but you hold grudges for years, repress your
anger, and then blow up in conniving ways - you've got
"postal worker" written all over you. If you
want to stop the migraines, look into anger-management
classes at the local Y. Passive-aggressive people are
often very sympathetic, which is why they hide their
anger. So take solace in knowing you're still coming off
as kind-hearted, you sneaky, two-faced back-stabber. not black
hearted-black hearted Ooo hoo - you're one evil muther. Your heart is blacker than Darth Vader's helmet. For goodness' sake, next time think about that old lady's feelings before you push her down the escalator. And, really - you know as well as anyone that dropping kitties out the window to see if they can land on their feet is just an excuse to act evil. Yes, it's all part of being a free spirit who doesn't answer to anyone. Right or wrong, it's a fun way to live. But be careful - it all comes full-circle in the end. ------------ The Go-getter Bold, energetic, and always ready. Is that you or your coffee? To the casual observer, there's really no difference. How you take your coffee provides people with a small window into your personality. Here's what one might see... For you, coffee is a tool. Your drinking style labels you as a go-getter. A non-stop hard worker. Coffee gives you the jump-start you need in the morning and keeps you going throughout the day. Your fellow coffee drinkers most likely see you as resourceful, energetic, and tireless. You are always on. If a job needs to get done, you're just the type to make it happen. Your coffee style says that you're very flexible and that you adapt well to change. In fact, you require a lot of variety in your life. You probably juggle many tasks at once or move quickly from one task to the next. You are driven by your desire to accomplish many things, and sometimes it might seem like there isn't enough time in the day. Creative, quick and witty, you grab hold of life with both hands and hang on for the ride. ------------- We don't need a psychic to tell us that you're giving off a Crimson vibe. Your ruby-red aura reveals your passionate, sensual nature - you're all about earthly pleasure. Whether you're getting a great massage or having a sumptuous dinner, you delight in experiences that fully engage your senses. (Crimson is, after all, the color of roses, wine, and velvet.) That's why it's the material things that really float your boat. If you can taste it, touch it, smell it, or see it right here, right now, you're all over it. After all, you're firmly rooted in reality, preferring to live in the present rather than the future. And you probably have a quick temper, too - most folks with red auras do. But you cool down quickly, turning your outspoken energy and stamina to projects with fast, concrete results. A hot-blooded go-getter like you is always in favor of instant gratification. -------------- C'mon - admit it.
Politics aside, deep down you're looking for a solid,
traditional guy who likes fly-fishing and Mexican food.
We think George W. Bush is your presidential dream date!
He's a handsome, determined guy with a great pedigree and
a killer smile. You might not buy into any of his
politics, but who wants to talk issues anyway? You're a
sucker for his independent spirit and his charming,
outgoing personality. He's an old-fashioned, churchgoing
fella who knows how to have fun (sometimes a little too
much...). Just the sort of man you can really count on. And when it comes to decisions, he's not afraid to make the tough call. A born leader, he stands his ground and sticks to his guns; he's the sort of guy who'll be there through thick and thin. If his upper-crust, Ivy League background has taught him anything, it's that knowing the right people can help you get the job done. Sure, he may do whatever it takes to close a deal, but that kind of moxie is right up your alley. When it comes right down to it, you want a guy with a take-charge attitude. Maybe it's time you started thinking about how it would feel with a Republican by your side! ---------------- The Bundys Cue Frank Sinatra singing "Love and Marriage" - your family is most like TV's favorite Married With Children underachievers, The Bundys. Your dad might not sit on the couch all day with his hand down his pants (or maybe he does...), and your mom might not prance around in tight pants and high heels, but Al, Peggy, Bud, and Kelly are still your family's TV soulmates. Which, frankly, might be enough to make you want to give up family get-togethers altogether. But blood, dysfunctional as it may be, is thicker than water, so try to look on the bright side of things: At least you'll never have difficulties living up to your family's expectations. And, really, home-cooked meals and quality time are over-rated, don't you think? So embrace your Bundyness! If you're a girl, make like Kelly and wear a skimpy outfit to go pick up guys; if you're a fella, pull a Bud and do your best to lure an unsuspecting lady into your web. But whatever you do, don't invite the weird neighbors over... ---------------- Wondering what to do with your life? Why not help Dionne Warwick get the Psychic Friends Network back off the ground? Your sixth sense is pretty powerful, so you'd be perfect for the job. You may not see dead people (and to be honest, who besides that little kid in the movies really does?) or pick winning lottery numbers every time, but you definitely know when to go with your gut. Intuition is often just a matter of keeping calm enough to listen to your inner feelings. In this hectic world, sometimes it's hard to catch anything besides "feed me" or "watch out for that car!" But you've got it all figured out. After all, just knowing that you should cancel plans or get out of a dead-end relationship is when being naturally intuitive really comes in handy. It's been said that humans are the only animals who train themselves not to trust their instincts, so we applaud you for bucking society's trend. Keep listening to that little voice in your belly - it'll rarely lead you in the wrong direction. ---------------- Stop the presses -- you're a Leatherbound! Your tough exterior makes it especially hard to get a good read on your emotions. Instead of expressing how you feel, you prefer to keep things hidden away, tucked out of sight on the shelf. This strategy can keep your emotions safe and keep you from getting hurt. But it can also detract measurably from your personal relationships. Sharing your feelings strengthens friendships and creates intimacy in romantic relationships. Those who make themselves more difficult to read may find their personal relationships less satisfying. It can be very difficult for some people to open their emotions to others, but you should consider sharing just a few "chapters" that aren't too personal with a close friend. Dust off that old volume and open it up -- you might find that your friend responds in a very positive way. ---------------- There are people whose actions cause other people to think, "What a nut!" You, we must conclude, are probably one of those people! You probably do things just for the sake of doing them, or to get attention or a reaction from other people. The kinds of things you might be likely to do make your friends and family shake their heads and smile (or worry that you will get arrested!). There is probably little moderation in the kind of behavior you are willing to display or the things you are willing to try. This kind of behavior is usually funny, but it can get you into trouble sometimes. So have fun but be careful, and remember that moderation is the key to balance in life. ---------------- Hamster Come out and play - in your previous life, you were a hamster named Vladimir. Here's what we know about you: Born on the plains of Siberia, you spent your early years weathering harsh winters, drinking vodka, and attending committee meetings. Determined and headstrong, you always got your way when push came to shove. But it wasn't all darkness - no one knew how to let loose and have a good time better than you. You were the reigning Twister champ, and you always emerged victorious from the Bolshevik's annual Dance-a-Thon (your signature step, the Funky Chicken, was a huge crowd pleaser). As you were also quite the health fanatic, you developed and patented a set of exercise wheel fitness videos that quickly became all the rage in Siberia. Your commercial success led you to denounce Communism and head for the States, where you ultimately provided the inspiration for a wacky Web site and song. --------------- Say what? Your superpower is ANIMAL COMMUNICATION! Many people pretend to talk to their pets, but you can really, truly do it. Have you ever mimicked the monkeys or the penguins at the zoo? If you have, you're on your way to becoming a great animal communicator, just like Aquaman with his fishy friends. Some people think animal communication has to be vocal. Not so. Any superhero knows that mental telepathy is where it's at. So while barking at Fido might be fun, it's not the practice you really need. Instead, try thinking like an animal. When you get into the mindset of, say, a squirrel, you'll be able to truly communicate with one. Of course it's a two way street, because you'll be able to understand everything they say back, too. And they've got a lot to tell! Imagine talking to a walrus about the deep ocean or to an ant about life underground. Once you've perfected your superhuman gift, you'll never be without interesting conversation. --------------- Behavior |
Emotions | Responsibility Behavior There are countless reasons why people may act or feel a certain age at any given point in their lives. Feeling a certain age is not a static thing, nor is it something that always follows a pre-determined pattern. Some people act older when they are children then have a second childhood in their retirement years. Others act like children until they become parents and then seem to click into a different mode. It can be helpful and insightful to learn which stage you're at right now, and why. Nobody fits neatly
into a given category. There are several components in
your emotional age: behavior, emotion, and responsibility.
In the area of behavior, you seem to fall very clearly
into the "mature" category. There is no doubt
that others can rely on you and that your behavior is
probably consistent and dependable. This is great, but it
probably also means that you don't allow yourself to have
too much fun or act "outside the box." Most of
your actions might be dictated by how they are going to
affect other people. Basically, you might want to lighten
up a little. Try to focus more on your own feelings. And,
most of all -- have a little fun! Emotions In the realm of
emotions, you seem to fall into the "adolescent"
category. This means that you sometimes express your
emotions without thinking about the effect they have on
other people. It can also mean that you are extremely
self-conscious and worried about what other people think
of you. Adolescents are notorious for being influenced by
peer pressure and societal standards. Adolescents may
also often be moody and withdrawn and have a hard time
making emotional commitments, but they can also display
great creativity. They feel strongly about many different
things in their lives. Your passion for life probably
comes through in your emotional reactions. Responsibility When it comes to the level of responsibility you assume, for yourself or others, you fall into the "adult" category. This means that you are probably someone who can be relied on to come through in any situation. People around you likely consider you dependable and strong. Don't let your dominant care-taking side force you to neglect your own needs. Keep a healthy balance and continue to take care of yourself too. -------------- What You Say |
What You Believe What You Say Okay, so you seem
to have figured out that he can't read your mind. Good
for you. But, you don't exactly say what you mean either.
Datespeak requires a very difficult balancing act.
Maintaining complete honesty in a dating situation is
very complicated. You end up with a lot of tip-toeing
around the heart of a subject. Saying what you mean can
be awkward for both parties. But you've managed to find a
way to cushion your words while hinting at the true
meaning behind them. Good work. Whether this comes
naturally for you or you've learned the hard way, you
know that misleading a guy can result in a messy
situation. You could be a little more direct when talking
datespeak, but you're clearly not intending to avoid a
topic altogether. Just be careful. If you like him, let
him know. And if you don't, find a way to send him that
message. It'll save both you and the guy some trouble if
you refrain from speaking in code! What You Believe Hmmm...seems like you're not quite sure whether to trust him or not. You probably want to take what he says at face value, but there's some nagging part of you that just won't let you completely believe him. You definitely don't analyze his every word. Pat yourself on the back for that one. But you do keep your defenses up just in case. Unfortunately, cynicism has become a beneficial attribute for people submerged in the dating scene. Maybe in the beginning it's smart to look out for number one and refrain from trusting too easily. But you need to know that when a guy has proven his good intentions, it's time to put your questioning mind to rest. This is key to having a good relationship. Skepticism may protect you from getting hurt, but when you see a good thing on the horizon, make sure you show some trust. It's a smart woman who knows how to crack the datespeak code. -------------- Your stars are sending you straight into the arms of an AQUARIUS. As an air sign, your man is a great communicator and an independent thinker. On top of that, he's incredibly popular. You won't be able to resist his inviting personality and altruistic nature. Also ambitious and creative, he tends to be inflexible when it comes to his views. He might shy away from romantic relationships at first, but once you break through that barrier, he's yours! His sign is the water bearer, which means that he gives off a special energy that is received as a gift by others. Your ideal man is a people person, and he genuinely wants everyone to be happy. He's also a progressive intellectual with an analytical edge. So, not only will he provide interesting conversation, he'll make sure you're always smiling! In addition to possessing all of these redeeming qualities, your Aquarius is most commonly known for being the friendliest sign in the zodiac. How to catch him: Your Aquarian man places the intellect above physical stimulation. He needs to feel that the two of you have made a deep, meaningful connection before he'll enter a relationship. Passionate and exciting, he'll put you on a pedestal once you have had a meeting of the minds. Aquarius stands for truth, and your man will be honest to a fault. So be careful not to ask questions such as "How do I look?" and "Do these pants make me look fat?" when you're just looking for reassurance, because this man just might give you an answer you don't want to hear. But he's trustworthy and devoted (as long as you give him his space). Famous Aquarian men include: Bob Marley --------------- A brilliant bolt of lightning descends! SHAZAAM! The oracle has spoken! The smoke clears to reveal that inside you is a divine being, PERSEPHONE, Goddess of the Night, a woman in touch with her deepest inner desires. As the most sexual of all the female deities, you are very comfortable in the bedroom. Your skill at pleasing a man is unmatched, and you know exactly what you need for your own pleasure. As a woman of passion, you're very comfortable with expressing your desires to anyone. You are a proud and confident woman who exudes sensuality. You cherish the intimacy of physical attraction and know what it takes to win a man. As a woman deeply in touch with your sexuality, you definitely know how to thoroughly enjoy yourself! Your polished bedroom performance always keeps them coming back for more. When everything is going right, a light shines down from the heavens. Behold, the skies proclaim, here lies a goddess! ---------- More info on Persephone: Persephone was not originally a goddess, but the notoriously beautiful daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Because she was half-immortal, she was sometimes considered an Olympian. She eventually became goddess of the Underworld. Because of her beauty, she was abducted by Hades and taken to his realm of the Underworld. Her mother, Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was heartbroken and searched the world for her, allowing a constant winter to descend and the crops to die. Hades was eventually convinced to return Persephone for part of each year. The other 1/3 of the year, Persephone had to return to the Underworld with Hades. The time of the year when Persephone is with her mother is known as spring and summer, when the crops grow and the earth is fruitful. The time when she is in the Underworld, the earth is barren and cold. ------------ Money, money, money! You're guilty of GREED. Do you always find yourself feeling unsatisfied and wanting more? Would you shove someone out of your way at a great department store sale just to get what you want? We thought so. When it comes to money and other worldly possessions, too much is never enough for you. It's okay to want things, but you might want to think back to those kindergarten lessons on sharing and try to understand what motivates your constant need to have more. Remember: The things you acquire may have value, but most of them won't endure. After all, you can't take it with you... Why is greed so bad? Well, according to early religious scholars, greed is an offense against generosity. When we're preoccupied with getting more than our fair share, we show an inordinate concern for ourselves - at the expense of others. It's important to temper the desire to have "more" with a willingness to let others share the wealth. But it could be worse: Medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri wrote that greed is the fifth deadliest of the seven sins, edging out lust and gluttony. ------------ Are You an Introvert or an Extrovert? You're not about to move into a shack in remote Montana all by yourself, but then again, you'd rather do that than be bugged all the time about how you're feeling or what you're thinking about. That's because you're much more of an introvert than an extrovert. What does that mean? Well, we're guessing you usually try to keep a low social profile (it's handy being your own best friend, after all). Chances are you feel like you know enough people, and you don't go out of your way to meet new ones. But that doesn't mean you don't go out and let loose every once in a while, especially if you're in the company of your core group of close friends. A few of those is all anyone really needs anyway, right? And most nights a good book and a glass of wine beats even your nearest and dearest hollow. All well and good, but try testing your limits occasionally and breaking out of your comfortable shell. The results may surprise you. ---------- You got 16 out of 20 right. Congratulations! You're a pop culture super-genius - a veritable Einstein when it comes to random facts and (let's face it) useless trivia. Do you work in Hollywood or something? Because even Liz Smith's got nothing on you when it comes to celebrity gossip. Plus, your mastery of current events shows that you're a true newshound as well. Chances are your friends turn to you whenever they have a question about what's "in," who starred in what, which celeb is married to whom, and what's on TV tonight. Then again, maybe they don't care about that kind of thing. But you do, and we think that's dandy. After all, it's fun to know what the hell they're talking about on "Will & Grace," isn't it? We look forward to seeing you win the jackpot on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" soon. In the meantime, here's to many more happy hours spent at the movies and in front of the tube! ----------- The Deep End | Passionate | Breezy The Deep End While you're not one to carelessly toss around loving words, hopeful promises, and doting acts, you do tend to enjoy expressing your loving feelings. Couplehood suits you to a T, and you're always coming up with new ways of showing your significant other how you feel. Basically, you're passionately romantic without being excessively sentimental. Since you cherish the connection between the two of you, showing your guy how much you care about him ranks high on your list of priorities - you just don't cover his bed with roses to prove it. Passionate Although you're not a die-hard romantic, you definitely have an emotional side. You're probably willing to expose that sensitivity to your significant other through your actions, but you've got your limits. It's fine to declare your affection in sweet, meaningful ways, but you don't feel the need to constantly prove to your guy how much you care. Chances are you think there are other ways to show love, respect, and admiration besides all the flowery mumbo-jumbo society has labeled "romantic." Breezy You're full of fun and romantic energy! Spicing up your relationship with sweet and impulsive acts is second nature, and you probably enjoy surprising and doting on your guy. It's pretty clear that you like to incorporate a playful type of romanticism into your relationship. This fun, breezy approach is a great way for you and your significant other to enjoy each other more intimately. So it's no surprise to us that you're a very giving partner who's eager to express how excited you are about your relationship. ------------ Go ahead and stop your search, because it looks like you've found "the One"! You are one lucky woman! Destiny has brought you two together. All of your best qualities probably shine when you are around your man. And the same goes for him. The complementary nature of your relationship is one huge indication that he's perfect for you! Even better - your responses indicate that you've found not only a romantic partner, but a great friend as well. Nothing's better than finding both in one person. There's no easy recipe for a long-lasting relationship, but you've somehow found the main ingredients. Chemistry is definitely a great starter. Then you just need to add some trust, communication, and respect. Of course, a dollop of humor and a generous amount of romance make the meal much more satisfying. There are many more things you can add to make it better, but those extra ingredients depend on the needs of the relationship and the individuals involved. The two of you have clearly mastered the key elements and seem well on your way to building a loving, long-lasting relationship. Congratulations! ------------ You're The Buffet Table. When someone asks "What'll it be?" your answer is probably "What've you got?" Being so flexible, daring, and easy-going - or however you choose to describe it - can make mealtime a breeze. Since you're not a vegetarian, you're fine with eating a burger. But since you're not a true "meat and potatoes" type either, you can get by without a hunk of flesh at every meal. But being so easily satisfied does have its drawbacks. You may not take the time to make sure you're getting all the vitamins and minerals you need, so make it a goal to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. And don't forget to think about how what you eat affects you. When you're in an energy slump, try some protein instead of "whatever." It could make a difference. With a little bit of attention, your good diet can easily be great. ------------ You're The Stoic. Your stress style follows the path of many steadfast folks: Think of the Brits with their "stiff upper lips," or the Germans with their cool-as-a-cucumber reserve. It amazes those who know you, but stress hardly seems to affect you. In fact, friends might even say you're oblivious to the tension in your life. But being in denial about stress doesn't really make it go away. Small problems may seem to take care of themselves when ignored, but major life issues need attention to be resolved in a positive way. The next time you're faced with serious stress, pull your ostrich-like head out of the sand and try giving the situation your full attention for a change. You might be surprised to find that your coping skills are actually quite good - even if they're a little rusty. ------------- Guess what? You're not meant to be an executive at all. Nope. With all its clock-punching and cubicles, the corporate world is no place for you. You'd be much better off as an independent consultant. Since you're self-motivated and ambitious, you'd have no trouble keeping yourself busy. And best of all, you'd be your own boss. No one but you would get to determine your hours and priorities. Of course, the freelance/consultant life is a little risky - there's no guarantee of a steady paycheck, and you'll have to deal with benefits on your own. But we think your love of freedom and flexibility outweigh any negatives to make this the perfect path for you. Here's hoping it works out! ------------ Romance | Maturity | Lifestyle | Looks Romance Although you are a sucker for romance, you will probably cut a guy some slack if he does not constantly pamper you with gifts and affection. Craving passion in your relationships, you want a guy who can (and will) express his deepest feelings for you through his actions. You are aware, however, that this quality is not commonly found in men, so you are willing to lower your romantic standards if need be. Although you are probably willing to stick around once the courting period ends, it is still important to you to be doted upon occasionally. Your realistic, yet hopeful, outlook will guarantee you a good catch! Two famous personalities who might be suave enough to make the cut are Richard Gere and George Clooney. Maturity Love might be a serious game, but it still should be fun. Too much sophistication can kill the romance. It sounds as if you go for the kind of guy who knows how to cut looseand just be himself. Practicality and maturity are respectable qualities, and no man should be completely without them, but they have never been important ingredients for an exciting night out. Based on your answers, the sort of guy we can imagine for you would know how to have a really good time without getting too childish or outrageous. Whether he offers a little bit of danger or just a great sense of humor, your ideal Man would still be young enough to let the kid in him emerge. Some famous personalities with a style that's footloose and funny -- but still adult -- include Jerry Seinfeld and Cuba Gooding, Jr. Lifestyle Love doesn't come cheap, but it doesn't have to be really expensive either. It sounds like you are not overly concerned with the financial situation of your ideal man. Of course, everyone has dreams of living well, but it's a mistake to mix your expectations of love with your hopes for a wealthy lifestyle. Based on your answers, it looks as though money is not a real romantic concern for you. On the cruiseship of love, you are just as happy travelling coach as first class. This is a healthy and realistic attitude, to be detached from materialist concerns should make you happy. When Mr. Right crosses your path, you'll be sure to recognize him and not worry about the size of his wallet. Famous personalities whose lifestyle matches your financial expectations in a relationship might include Chandler or Ross from "Friends". Looks No doubt about it -- love is blind. You seem to realize that ruling out potential suitors who are not simply drop-dead gorgeous might jeopardize a perfect love match. Good for you! Your good nature and open mind allow you to look past the surface and see the true person inside before you judge the chemistry between the two of you. You probably notice a good-looking guy when you see one, and you might view good looks as a bonus. But physical appearance is not the ultimate quality on your list of "important things to look for in a man." Not only does this characteristic reflect your good heartedness and geniune desire to find true love, it also indicates that you will be more apt to find your ideal guy than would someone who shuts the door on every guy who does not look like he stepped out of a magazine cover. Some famous men whose looks you might overlook because of their great charm are Kramer from "Seinfeld" and Jay Leno. ------------- Your body is a work of art, and you're damn proud of it! You exude body confidence. Pat yourself on the back because that's a rarity in today's world. You've managed to overlook the pressure that society and the media impose on women. That's a huge feat, and we commend you for that. It is getting more and more difficult for a woman to look in the mirror and think, "I'm hot stuff." Whether it's an incredible metabolism or a terrific outlook, your healthy body image allows you to have your cake and eat it too! Congratulations, you've successfully avoided falling prey to the body trap! The thought of bathing suit season probably makes you excited for summer, rather than nauseous in anticipation. And chances are that you look in the mirror without pinching and cringing. Keep in mind, however, that it's normal to be occasionally self-critical. And it's natural for a woman to want to look her best. As long as you keep a healthy perspective, you're in great shape! ------------- Owl You're an Owl — a laid-back, alternative-minded chick with your own style. You have a unique way of looking at the world, social occasions included. And when it comes to parties, you take them at your own speed. Rather than swing with the rockin' robins, you sit on your own branch. You're more likely to observe the action from the sidelines than to be right in the thick of it, which suits you just fine. You'd rather listen to the running commentary in your head than jump out on the dance floor and shake your tail feathers, anyway. It wouldn't hurt for you to circulate every once in a while, but you're happiest doing your own thing. ------------ Who Wears the Pants? Way to go! Looks like the control scale is slightly tilted in your favor. His needs are definitely still on the map, but they don't carry quite as much weight as yours. This guy is definitely into you. You have taken the upperhand in this partnership, but kept your superior role subtle. Because the balance isn't totally skewed, you probably have a lot of respect for your man. You are one lucky lady -- not only does your guy adore you, but he usually lets you have your way! Just make sure that you're not taking advantage of the relationship. Are you considerate of his feelings? Do you let him know how much you care about him? Do you occasionally let him call the shots? Well, you probably should. Don't tip the scale too much -- he might feel taken so for granted that he'll just take off! You're in a great position, so don't mess it up! Whatever you're doing is working, so pat yourself on the back and stay on that pedestal! ------------ Etiquette | Sexual | Content Etiquette In terms of your dating etiquette, it appears that you are polite, well-mannered and tactful. You seem to know how to behave appropriately on a first date, which is imperative for making a good first impression. Your considerate demeanor and respectful manner reveals that you are one classy broad! Sexual It appears that you are a confident woman and you do not feel the need to use your sexuality to get a man. You have probably found subtle ways to show your interest without acting too available, needy or desperate. Chances are that you do not regard sex as a way to manipulate your date into wanting to see you again. If, however, you choose to follow your sexual impulses, you probably do it for the right reasons -- not simply to please your date. Content You seem to have found the perfect balance between speaking and listening on a first date. You probably enjoy having a very natural give-and-take dialogue, and you are aware that there should be boundaries regarding how much is appropriate to reveal about yourself at such an early stage of a relationship. Chances are you do not try to please your date by always agreeing with him, and you probably don't take the spotlight off of him by always bringing the attention back to you. Continue to be yourself and you will soon find Mr. Right! ---------- Looking out for number one is often your motto. You have very few symptoms of the "Disease to Please"! It's not that you disregard others' feelings -- you just make sure that your own needs are met first. If someone has to sacrifice, it most likely won't be you! Looking out for yourself is definitely important, and you do it well. Speaking the truth and enjoying yourself to the fullest reveal a sense of self-confidence. But make sure that your confidence doesn't stray into cockiness. Look out for yourself, but don't neglect others in the process. It's clear that you are willing to compromise, which is a necessary component of any healthy relationship. So, continue to take care of you - but make sure that you fit other people into your list of "things to think about." |
