My sis told me last week that according to blogthings, she has finally grown up.
I decided to see if I have matured....

You Act Like You Are 22 Years Old

You are a twenty-something at heart. You feel like an adult, and you're optimistic about life.
You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

You're still figuring out your place in the world and how you want your life to shape up.
The world is full of possibilities, and you can't wait to explore many of them.

What Age Do You Act?


Oh dear, I seem to be regressing.......

Draw A House...

Found this on spcnet so I gave it a go and will post my house here too...



Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. We also see that you are sensuous, sexual, and privately passionate. You don't think much about yourself.

Hmm....

Master Chow's remedies work a treat!

Your Personality Is

Guardian (SJ) You are sensible, down to earth, and goal oriented. Bottom line, you are good at playing by the rules. You tend to be dominant - and you are a natural leader. You are interested in rules and order. Morals are important to you. A hard worker, you give your all at whatever you do. You're very serious, and people often tell you to lighten up. In love, you tend to take things carefully and slowly. At work, you are suited to almost any career - but you excel in leadership positions. With others, you tend to be polite and formal. As far as looks go, you are traditionally attractive. You take good care of yourself. On weekends, you tend to like to do organized activities. In fact, you often organize them!

Yes that's me down to a tee....

IQ Test

Disappointed by the quick IQ test I did on blogthings yesterday (I like to think of myself as pretty intelligent, seeing as I can't read music and my short legs give me a distinct disadvantage in sporting ventures.), I decided to take another IQ test to make myself feel a bit better. I came out with a score of 137 - not quite a genius, but satisfying to know I am not a total loss.

More blogthings - self discovery is so addictive... as my sister will tell you!

You Have A Type A- Personality

You are one of the most balanced people around Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you. When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love! You live life to the fullest - encorporating the best of both worlds

Pretty true this one... although sometimes the balance gets tipped a little too far in one direction and doesn't want to go back.

You Are 37% Vain

Okay, so you're slightly vain from time to time, but you're not superficial at all. You are realistic. You know that looks matter. You just try to make them matter less.

I save so much money by not wearing make-up!!

You Are 24 Years Old

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

Sounds about right, my brain stopped developing when I joined my current company. Jeez, it's been so long already?!

People Envy Your Ingenuity

You're a person with unique ideas, big plans, and a zany outlook on life. Many people look to you for inspiration. People envy your creativity and "who cares?" attitude. They feel very ordinary next to you - and they usually are!

Don't go for ages and then twice in two days...

You Are Jean Grey

Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death). Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally! Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals

Doing this quiz thing reminded me that I hadn't blogged about the two movies I went to see as part of my 'bank holiday weekend cinema bonanza'. Okay, so I went to see two films, but considering I haven't been to the cinema since "The Incredibles", it wasn't bad going.

As everyone had already seen 'The DaVinci Code' by the time I got round to it and I didn't really fancy going to Nando's for dinner, I decided to be billy-no-mates and go and watch DVC on my own on Sunday. I wasn't expecting much after mixed reviews from critics and friends alike, but I went in with an open mind just to see for myself. When I read the book, Robert Langdon for me could not have been more different from Tom Hanks, so when I heard he had been cast, I was against it from the start. I wasn't wrong as his totally dorky and wooden performance really spoilt the show. For me, I'd have preferred someone a bit rougher around the edges to play that part - say George Clooney or Christian Bale or someone like that. (My friend said a young Harrison Ford would have been ideal...) There were a couple of snooze parts in the film, but I thought it was passable. Audrey Tautou was fab and so were the others such as Paul Bettany (Silas), but I wasn't sure about the blue eyes though - just looked a bit weird for an albino, whose eyes are usually pink I thought. Ian McKellan's performance wasn't great, not as good as LOTR or X-men anyway. Or maybe he is just too overused recently.

'X-men: The Last Stand' lived up to its expectations. I really enjoyed the first two films, so I was looking forward to seeing number three. Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian were solid as usual and I enjoyed the effects. Won't ramble on too much, but I loved 'Angel' and his pretty wings - so fluffy and handy for getting around! Hehehe....

Yeah, I am bored....
Three months of long hard slog before I go on my holidays again - I think I am gonna need this break. Roll on August...

In the meantime, more self-discovery to try and keep my brain slightly occupied. Bloomin' hormonal insomnia...

You Passed 8th Grade Science

Congratulations, you got 8/8 correct!

Hey, I didn't buy my GCSE's!

You Failed 8th Grade Geography

Sorry, you only got 6/10 correct!

OK, maybe I picked up Geography in the summer sales.

Your Brain's Pattern

Your brain is always looking for the connections in life. You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first. You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker. You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.

Huh?

You Are 56% Cynical

Yes, you are cynical, but more than anything, you're a realist. You see what's screwed up in the world, but you also take time to remember what's right.

I always get the 'realist' thing - I think sometimes I am too 'real' and forget how to have fun. Sigh!

Your Birthdate: February 2

You're so intuitive, it's like you have a sixth, seventh, and eighth sense. You connect with others freely and easily - and you tend to have many best friends. Warm and caring, it's hard for you to close your heart to anyone. Affection is like air for you - you need to give and receive it to survive. Your strength: Your universal compassion Your weakness: Your unpredictable mood swings Your power color: Mauve Your power symbol: Butterfly Your power month: February

Blimey, you're right about the mood swings!

Your Inner Child Is Angry

You're not an angry person. But when you don't get your way, watch out. Like a very manipulative kid, you will get what you want. Even if it takes a little kicking and screaming.

See...

Your Luck Quotient: 66%

You have a high luck quotient. More often than not, you've felt very lucky in your life. You may be randomly lucky, but it's probably more than that. Optimistic and open minded, you take advantage of all the luck that comes your way.

So does that mean I am gonna win the lottery or not?

Your Stress Level is: 70%

You are prone to stress, and you're probably even pretty stressed right now. Life's problems seem to pile up on you, and this often makes you feel depressed and burned out. Learn to take time to relax and enjoy life, even if things are stressful. It's the only wa you'll get through the bad times.

Too right I am... now breathe... one two three....

You Should Get a MBA (Masters of Business Administration)

You're a self starter with a drive for success. You'd make a great entrepreneur.

Hmm.... I very nearly did...

My personality type appears to have changed again:



ISTJ

What makes an ISTJ tick?
The Dominant function is the perceptive one of Sensing. Characteristics associated with this function include:

Likes looking at information in terms of facts and details
Focuses more on the here and now rather than possibilities for the future
Feels comfortable in areas of proven experience
Takes a realistic approach
The perceptive Sensing function is introverted. That is, Sensing is used primarily to govern the inner world of thoughts and emotions. The ISTJ will therefore:

Seek to develop a realistic understanding of the world as it is, in the light of what he/she observes
Be pragmatic in nature, constantly learning to adapt to the world as it is now
Observe in a subjective way, selecting and relating facts that others would not, and seeing those facts more in terms of impressions and significance than pure fact
The Sensing function is primarily supported by extroverted Thinking judgement, That is, Thinking judgement is used primarily to manage the outer world of actions and spoken words. This will modify the way that the Sensing is directed, by:

focusing the (inner world) Sensing on impersonal facts and logical options
tending to spot flaws and injustices
making decisions on the basis of logical analysis that support the ISTJ's understanding of the world.
The classic temperament of an ISTJ is Epimethean, or Melancholic, for whom a basic driving force is duty, service and the need to belong.

Contributions to the team of an ISTJ
In a team environment, the ISTJ can contribute by:

working hard and efficiently to complete tasks by the deadlines set
sorting ideas and identifying those that are most practical
applying a common sense approach to problem solving
maintaining team focus on the objective
contributing practical organisational skills
applying procedures and methodologies
applying relevant and realistic logical arguments
The potential ways in which an ISTJ can irritate others include:

focusing too much on the current task at the expense of longer term or interpersonal issues
not articulating his/her understanding of the situation
not seeing the wood for the trees
being too serious
seeming to be inflexible
not encouraging others to experiment or innovate
not promoting his/her own ideas or achievements

Personal Growth
As with all types, the ISTJ can achieve personal growth by developing all functions that are not fully developed, through actions such as:
articulating more of the ISTJ's own views
developing a long term vision, that avoids focusing on details
developing a greater understanding of how people feel
changing things on an experimental basis to see if they can be improved
learning to promote the ISTJ's ideas and achievements to others, recognising that others may well find them valuable
making decisions on the basis of how others will feel, rather than objective considerations

Recognising Stress
As stress increases, 'learned behaviour' tends to give way to the natural style, so the ISTJ will behave more according to type when under greater stress. For example, in a crisis, the ISTJ might:

find a place of solitude in which to think and work
use tried and trusted means of solving problems
direct or criticise others' efforts
use pragmatic solutions at the expense of the long term
Under extreme stress, fatigue or illness, the ISTJ's shadow may appear - a negative form of ENFP. Example characteristics are:

having a gloomy view of a future
suggesting impractical ideas
acting impulsively, and changing things without any thought
having intense negative feelings towards others (though these might not be expressed)
The shadow is part of the unconscious that is often visible to others, onto whom the shadow is projected. The ISTJ may therefore readily see these faults in others without recognising it in him/her self.

As part of my journey of self-rediscovery as prescribed by my rather understanding doctor, here are some results of my findings...







My Spongebob IQ: (All those Saturday mornings were not wasted after all!)



You are Bugs Bunny.
You are fun, friendly, and popular. You are a real crowd pleaser.
You have probably been out on the town your share of times, yet you
come home with the values that your mother taught you. Marriage and
children are important to you, but only after you have fun. Don't
let the people you please influence you to stray.
Which cartoon character are you?




You are ELMO. You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You don't like to hurt other people's feelings, but if you do it's not intentional. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free.

According to the BBC's "What am I like?" show today, this is my current personality type:



Realists

Summary of Realists

Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
Believe in established rules and respect facts
Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people

More about Realists

Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit.

Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action.

These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, be critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly. Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.

Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.

Realist Careers

Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.

Realists are the most common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.

Take the What am I like? personality test.

Nice to know there are other people like me out there, but yeah - it's pretty accurate!

Labels: blogthings

Just did this quiz http://www.colorquiz.com/ as advertised on goozebumps

Here's what I got and yeah, it's quite accurate!

Your Existing Situation
Works well in cooperation with others. Needs a personal life of mutual understanding and freedom from discord.

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.
Feels that she cannot do much about her existing problems and difficulties and that she must make the best of things as they are. Able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity.

Your Desired Objective
Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming.

Your Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.

Hmm...
