WHY IS MY COMPUTER PSYCHIC?!
So, through Twitter, I just got linked to this short test that will assess your personality by having you answer questions in a way that seems unrelated to anything and it was frighteningly accurate (I found it in a post entitled: "Creepiest Personality Test Ever?"). You can take the test here: http://www.hypnoid.com/psytest2.html (ETA: Sorry, for some reason I can't get hyperlinks to work. If you want to take the test, at the very least to see what I'm talking about, you'll have to copy and paste it into the address bar.) (ETA 2: Things are working again, so here's a direct link!)
These were my results:
"Always happy in a crowd, you love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun. You tend to think in a more holistic manner than many others. Like a crow you are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship. You love to talk or gossip. You are highly invested in the reality of day-to-day life. Practicality is far more important than issues of honor or allegiance. You are a creature of the here and now. You are a natural multi-tasker, often switching mid-thought from one duty to another. You have a flair for presenting your personality in your work, and are known as a great storyteller and natural actor. You are very skilled at taking in a barrage of information and distilling what is most important from it. Naturally charming, you are quick to win new friends. Over stimulation is a danger."
A lot of this rings eerily true (though, "Always happy in a crowd" definitely needs to be amended to "Always happy in a crowd of people you know, or at least some of whom you know"). If you take the test, see the kinds of "questions" they ask and "answers" you can choose from, you will understand why I am currently yelling "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT?!" at my computer.
Side note: The Eleventh Doctor did not win the March Madness Fandom Cage Match thing, but campaigning for both sides was so fun and wonderful and civilized that I now want to watch the show the actual winner, Troy, is from (Community). Apparently, Troy is the first black character to make it to the finals, let alone win, so that's pretty cool. I guess I can be ok with him beating the Doctor, then. ;)
