And Yet Another Test
You're finding out exactly how colonic I am, aren't you? :-O I just can't seem to avoid taking these things.

Blame Seb for this one.


You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.

The control you feel over your life is empowering to you-- you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don't really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.

If you want to be different:

There's more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.

You are Cautious

Being independent, practical, and somewhat guarded with others makes you CAUTIOUS.

You tend to keep to yourself, wary of trusting others with personal information.

The values that you hold are central to your identity—you are a very principled person.

You have respect for the natural order of things, and a good sense of right and wrong.

Investigating the world through observation, as opposed to interaction, is preferable to you.

You have an appreciation for those who have attained a certain level of accomplishment, particularly the rare few who have succeeded honestly.

You are efficient—when you work with others, you get down to business, and fulfill your obligations.

You sometimes wish that others would be more like you—less hindered by their emotions, more respectful, and more private.

If you want to be different:

Finding a few close others whom you can trust will allow you to express yourself more openly, and possibly to learn more about yourself.

    Pretty much covered all the bases, didn't they? I think even Hitler could see himself in some of those results...

    One trait I didn;t notice: "Have to much time on your hands"

    Hmm. Interesting. From my personality test to Hitler. I think I shall give you the weevil eye.

    Actually, look again at the times. I posted in the wee hours of the morning for these quizzes/tests because I was destressing after coming home late from work. The test last night was because I couldn't sleep.

    I'm deeply saddened by your accurate, er, assassination of my character, sir!

    Interesting stuff, T.

     
  • At 19 March, 2006 23:28, Blogger The Phosgene Kid said…

    No assassination intended. My point is the survey results are purposely kept vague. I have yet to take one that indicates I am most likely to go on a shooting rampage at the local Wal-Mart.

    I am glad taking the surveys relieves stress for you; they just make me want to go on a shooting rampage down to thet eh Wal-Mart, but then what doesn't? Just kidding...

     
  • At 20 March, 2006 07:59, Blogger Cheshire Cat said…

    Thank you, Fuff. Note I didn't say it was accurate. Just that I can't help taking these things. :-)

    PK, you're right; I've participated in enough of these tests to know that they are kept purposefully vague, rather like horrors copes (space intended). That way, you can't turn around and sue them. Ah, isn't it wonderful what a litigious society we live in? Rrrright.

    And no worries on the shooting rampage at Walmart instincts... as long as you don't tell on my removal of heads and limbs instincts. Ahem.

    I know exactly what you mean, T.
    :)

     
  • At 21 March, 2006 04:21, Blogger SC said…

    Thanks for the blame, PT. I need all the publicity I can get.

    I get the feeling you were very honest in this test. I hope I was too, but I think there may have been one or two questions where I coughaccidentallycough gave the answers I'd like to be true, rather than ones that were actually true...

    0 : )

    Has my halo slipped?

     
  • At 21 March, 2006 12:37, Blogger Cheshire Cat said…

    Lol. Thanks, Fuff. ;-)

    SC: Halo? What halo? ;0)

    Remember what I told you about taking things at face value, SC. And I've already noted that I only admit to having a compulsion to take these quizzes, not that they're accurate or lack accuracy. :-)

    goodness - what a lot to live up to. :-)

     
  • At 22 March, 2006 11:08, Blogger Cheshire Cat said…

    Exactly so, Mummified! Which is why I don't intend to live up to such utter rubbish. :-)
