The Identity Test

Saturday, December 31st, 2005
Kathleen, you’re an Extraversion High!

Openness To Experience | Conscientiousness | Extraversion
Agreeableness | Negative Emotionality

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.



less curious more curious

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.



less focused more focused

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.



less extraverted more extraverted

Extraversion

Your high score in the Extraversion category defines your social identity. You probably feel very comfortable with a large number of people, and enjoy spending your time with them. In fact, chances are that you’d prefer to be among people than by yourself. Isolation can feel like punishment. Your vigorous and active style of interaction makes you an excellent leader. Equally, you can be a very warm friend. You probably are someone who enjoys excitement and looks for thrills where you can find them. Your cheerful exuberance means that you are probably quite popular in your social circle.



less adaptive more adaptive

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.



less reactive more reactive

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.

The Brainteaser Test

Saturday, December 31st, 2005
Kathleen, you answered 24 out of 30 questions correctly!

Congratulations! Your score is in the 91st percentile. This means that if one hundred people took the test with you, your score would rank higher than 90 of them on average.

When we analyzed your test, we also discovered that when it comes to visual-spatial ability, you measure in the 96th percentile. This score indicates you have unusually strong abilities when it comes to spotting patterns in the world around you. You’re easily able to envision things spatially in different positions, and this allows you to determine what spatial patterns are present. Compared with you, most others lack the creative ability and/or skill to imagine the movement of objects or patterns in time and space.

Blonde Story

Monday, December 26th, 2005

WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (The actual AP headline)

Linda Burnett, 23, was visiting her inlaws, and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda’s eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she’d been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

And, yes, Linda is a blonde

Dear Lie

Monday, December 26th, 2005

Dear lie
You suck
You said you could fix anything
Instead I’m fucked
You made things even worse for me
If I had balls I’d tell you get away from me
Guess I’m not smart
I let you unnerve me
I let you control me
Afraid the truth would hurt me
When it’s you that hurts me more
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my head
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin’ words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You’re nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me
Out of me
Out of me lie
Lie lie lie lie
Dear lie
You’re dumb
You think you’ve got the best of me
You think you won
Misread my vulnerability
I’ve got your balls
Now get the hell away from me
I’ve learned your art
Won’t let you unnerve me
Won’t let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won’t hurt no
No more
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my head
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin’ words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You’re nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me
Out of me
Out of me lie
Lie lie lie lie

Welcome To My Life

Monday, December 26th, 2005

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don’t belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desparate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you’re bleeding

No you don’t know what it’s like
When nothing feels all right
You don’t know what it’s like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I’m happy but I’m not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don’t know what it’s like what it’s like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you’re down
To feel like you’ve been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
With no one’s there to save you
No you don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like

Welcome to my life

Hurricane

Monday, December 26th, 2005

I will never tell you

I’d rather sew up my mouth

I’d choke sooner than ever say it out loud

Figure it out

I still wish you were here

I am breaking down from breaking in

Give me the wings to fly

I am breaking down from breaking in

Don’t you see me trying to ride out this hurricane?

It’s impossible for what’s left of this to be saved

And it’s sinking in that my being here’s a mistake

Erase

Forget I was here

I am breaking down from breaking in

Give me the wings to fly

I am breaking down from breaking in

Don’t you see me trying to ride out this hurricane?

Don’t you see me trying?

I’m slit now I’m sliding

Floating, flying

I’m ready for my fade

I will wait for you here because you are all I know

In this hurricane

Don’t you see me trying to ride out this hurricane?

The Karma Test

Sunday, December 25th, 2005
Kathleen, in the last year you’ve earned 792 karma points

You’ve earned these points by doing good things, therefore allowing good things to circle back to you. There are 6 different ways people earn karma, and by looking at your responses to this test, we can tell that your selfless nature is earning you the most karma.

This means that you’re more willing than most people are to sacrifice yourself for those in need. Such kind efforts have helped you earn your karma up to this point. You’ll typically go out of your way to help people even when the task is difficult or forces you to go out of your way. This willingness to assist others strengthens your current relationships and suggests it will come back to you positively in the future. Through your concerted efforts to make others’ needs an important priority, you generate good karma for yourself and the universe.

What’s Your Superpower?

Sunday, December 25th, 2005
Kathleen, you’re a Communication!

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.
