Thoughts that were duct taped to my cerebrum

the psychological effect of psychology on my psyche

Am I the only one who can’t take personality tests or quizzes or anything remotely psychologically related without worrying about whether a certain answer could skew my results completely? Just knowing that choosing answer A instead of answer B could totally change my outcome drives me crazy and I suddenly have no idea whether the answers that appeal to me are merely chosen on a whim thanks to a tiny little rebellious part of me, or whether my personality really does prefer the word “casual” to the word “structured.”

When I’m supposed to choose “funky” or “classic,” do I choose classic because that’s how I tend to act and dress? or do I choose funky, because I like the idea of funky? Does funky mean I appreciate orange platform shoes, and does classic mean my personality results will be “boring, standard, structured person who has a future in general fields?” Because some days, I am considerably more boring than some people, and other days I feel like leaving notes on strangers cars at school. How do I summarize such a broad spectrum in one little test?

Sigh.

Ironically, when I took a communication style test for one of my college classes, my result said I think too hard. I guess this is proof. which means I apparently CAN sum up my personality on a piece of paper. But I am going to stop thinking now and go to bed. because sleeping is an integral part of my personality.

pointless information - dontcha just love it?

Thanks to spending quite a bit of my weekend on a useless testing website (I don’t recommend it at all either so I won’t link to it - it’s much less wholesome in content than Tickle), here is just a sampling of the wonders I found out about myself:

~ I am 78% nerd, 35% dork, and 30% geek. I’m not really sure how that adds up to 100%, but oh well. Overall this means I was right - I really am a nerd. Yay!

~ If I were a spice, sage would be it. Apparently this gives me a very classic quality. * snort *

~ I am either from Neptune or Saturn, they can’t really decide.

~ If I were ever in a band, I should be the bass player. I found this interesting considering the fact that my result description fit me perfectly, but I AM in a band and I am not the bass player.

~ If you give me $1000 and set me loose in a virtual stock market, I will have $188,198 by the time I am 40.

~ If a movie were made about my life, it should be directed by Sofia Coppola. I don’t know why.

~ I’m only 24% absentminded! Or so they say… Look, something shiny!

~ When tested on how much personal space I like, I ended up with the labels “sociophobe” and “hermit.” (Well, I am homeschooled after all.)

~ The most appropriate philosophical era for me is Ancient times. You know, old (dead) people and old writing. Woot.

~ And the best thing I found about myself? I’m only 9% psychotic! In fact, I’m “entrenched in reality.” Lol. Maybe they should wait to meet me in person before they make sweeping judgements like that…
