...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
i found this quiz at baldilocks. It's called: "20 Questions to a Better Personality." Well, i answered all twenty questions, but i don't feel any different. That's false advertising.
Here are my results; i didn't cheat; i think it's bullshit; so interpret them as you may:
Wackiness: 56/100No fuckin' shit.
Rationality: 58/100
Constructiveness: 32/100
Leadership: 44/100You are a WRDF--Wacky Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a hacker. Your thirst for knowledge can be damaging to your possessions--you like to take things apart, even if you then forget to put them back together. You demand respect and, no matter how much you are respected, seldom feel it is adequate. You are tenacious, and will stick to a task long after weaker minds have given it up.
Socially, you are awkward, and get into arguments and make people uncomfortable. One recommends counting to ten, holding back comments unless warranted, and listening more than speaking. Still, your no-holds-barred approach to socialization can be strangely endearing, as long as you are funny and self-deprecating.
You feel misunderstood, and you probably are.
Update: This same quiz proclaims that the BigHominid is "completely unfunny." Now i know it's bullshit.
I can't take those quizzes. I always find out that I'm a blithering idiot!
Posted by: Brent on Jul. 7, 2004Well I took the Quiz also, and I got
Wackiness: 34/100
Rationality: 72/100
Constructiveness: 26/100
Leadership: 64/100
You are an SRDL--Sober Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you a mob boss. You are the ultimate alpha person and even your friends give you your space. You can't stand whiners, weaklings, schlemiels or schlemozzles. You don't make many jokes, but when you do, others laugh out loud. They must.
People often turn to you for advice, and wisely. You are calm in a crisis, cautious in a tempest, and attuned to even the finest details. Yours is the profile of a smart head for business and a dangerous enemy.
You have a natural knack for fashion and occupy a suit like a matinee idol. Your charisma is striking and without artifice. You are generous, thoughtful, and appreciate life's finer things.
Please don't kick my ass.
Alpha? Me?
I took the quiz and I too, am a hacker. What doesn't seem to fit me though, is the "socially awkward, getting into arguments and making people feel uncomfortable" part. I can't stand arguing and therefore will do my best to prevent that. Weird.

Posted by: annika! on Jul. 8, 2004Oh dear, I don't like this at ALL:
Wackiness: 16/100
Rationality: 40/100
Constructiveness: 44/100
Leadership: 34/100
You are an SEDF--Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting.
Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack. Few of your peers know you very well--even those you have known a long time--because you have expert control of the face you put forth to the world. You prefer to observe, calculate, discern and decide. Your decisions are final, and your desire to be right is impenetrable.
You are not to be messed with. You may explode
Help!
". . . destroying the weak and unsuspecting . . . Your decisions are final, and your desire to be right is impenetrable." Sheesh Hugo, i feel sorry for your students!
LOL, just kidding babe.
Posted by: annika on Jul. 8, 2004Hmmmmm...I suppose I can see it, even though I can't stand the guy:
Wackiness: 56/100
Rationality: 60/100
Constructiveness: 62/100
Leadership: 34/100
You are a WRCF--Wacky Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you 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.
Posted by: Dave J on Jul. 8, 2004I, apparently, rock.
You are a SECL--Sober Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a Politician.
You cut deals, you change minds, you make things happen. You would prefer to be liked than respected, but generally people react to you with both. You are very sensitive to criticism, since your entire business is making people happy.
At times your commitment to the happiness of other people can cut into the happiness of you and your loved ones. This is very demanding on those close to you, who may feel neglected. Slowly, you will learn to set your own agenda--including time to yourself.
You are gregarious, friendly, charming and charismatic. You like animals, sports, and beautiful cars. You wear understated gold jewelry and have secret bad habits, like chewing your fingers and fidgeting.
You are very difficult to dislike.
