some quizzes by way of graypumpkin and eryx_uk

I am a Concerned Analyst.

You Are Grass Green

Down to earth and a bit of a hippie, you are very into nature and the outdoors. You accept the world and people as they are. You don't try to change things. You are also very comfortable with yourself, flaws and all. Optimistic about the future, you feel like life is always getting better.

What Color Green Are You?

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead... But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

How Machiavellian Are You?

Your attention to detail, confidence, sense of order, and focus on functionality combine to make you an ANALYST.

You are very curious about how things work, delving into the mechanics behind things.

Along those lines, how well something works is usually more important to you than what it looks like.

You find beauty and wonder mainly in concrete, functional, earthly things.

You are very aware of your own abilities, and you believe that you will find the best way of doing things.

Accordingly, problems do not intimidate you, as you believe in yourself.

You trust yourself to find solutions within the boundaries of your knowledge.

You don't spend a lot of time imagining how things could be different—you're well-grounded in the here-and-now.

It is important for you to follow a routine, and you prefer the familiar to the unknown.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You tend to do things on the spur of the moment, not sticking to a set schedule.

If you want to be different:

Try to embrace the imaginative, creative part of your personality more often.

Try moving beyond the things that you find comfortable—open yourself up to a broader range of experiences.

How You Relate to Others
You are Concerned

Your understanding of others' emotions, your sense of right and wrong, and your skeptical nature make you CONCERNED.

Your observations of your environment, in concert with your clearly defined worldview, leads you to be aware of the feelings of others.

Because you can read people well, and because you can understand their feelings, you are often bothered by others' insensitive behavior.

While you appreciate others' emotional nature, you don't think their emotional concerns should take precedence over their obligations to society.

You prefer to be in smaller groups, as big groups can often get out of hand.

Order and structure are somewhat important to you—you believe that people's feelings are better protected when others are respectful and follow certain societal guidelines.

You tend to share your feelings with a few individuals who are close with you, but otherwise you are a private person.

Let your caring nature allow you to put more trust in people in general—you can have more faith in them without losing your valuable skepticism.

This chart shows thirteen personality traits. Each bar indicates the percentage of test takers who entered a lower value for that trait than you did. For example, if Confidence is at 80, that means that 80% of people entered lower values for confidence questions than you did. Based on a sample of 30,000 users.
Confidence 90
Openness 76
Extroversion 22

Trust in others 2

Masculinity 40
Femininity 78
Spontaneity 84
Attention to style36
Authoritarianism 94
Earthy/Imaginative 70

I was grass green too.

I'm afraid to try the Machiavellian quiz.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

you'll never get to the end, unless you employ some means!

[rejectomorph]

Oh, and look at these melons!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

those are fantastic!

[sedefendendo.livejournal.com]

i was also the same green as thee!
i love green! it means life to me!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I'm in good company! :D

I got benevolent director.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Trust in others 2? You've gotta lean every now and again doncha?

Re: I got benevolent director.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

just a little smidge of trust in others. not a lot!

Re: I got benevolent director.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

*sigh* This might be worse than the Eryx boycotting sushi thing.
Even the most die-hard good Samaritan must realize her limitations sometimes.

Re: I got benevolent director.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I trust you! just not 98% of the planet. th@'s still a bunch of millions !

Re: I got benevolent director.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

Oh buddy! That's what scares me even more! That you trust a person you've never sized up in person. Now I certainly hope I never do anything to break that trust!! *gulp*

Re: I got benevolent director.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

chain yanker!!

Well, I might have to reevalu@e if you asked me to hide a body or loan you huge sums of cash. :)

Re: I got benevolent director.

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I'm not yanking your chain! I don't think---if I knew what chain yanking was---it sounds slightly salacious. And as far as bodies go I'm an expert at hiding my skeletons--erm---nevermind. :D

I must not have answered the Machiavellian quiz correctly:

"You don't have a cynical, power hungry bone in your body.
Honest and kind, you believe being a good person is the most important thing. While your upstanding morals should be admired, be careful!
You're at risk for being manipulated and toyed with"

-------------------------------
Doesn't match. I'm pretty intense about people not running over others. I am cynical, which is the main reason why I enjoy staying away from the majority of humans. Most people I've met have asshat streaks they try to keep hidden in the beginning. I'm too observant not to notice. ;)

Anywho...

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

What Color Green Are You?

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

teal seem sot be right on target, though :)

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

& the grass green fits you well! :))

I just looked at your DNA test. I dig it! gonna do it, too.

I liked this very much about you:

"Because you can read people well, and because you can understand their feelings, you are often bothered by others' insensitive behavior."

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

or, put more crudely, I like folks, but I don't like jerkies. ;)

I look forward to seeing your dna results!

KEMPTON, Pa. -- An auctioneer has some unusual items to sell Saturday at the Kempton Community Recreation Center -- three skeletons in wooden coffins.

The auctioneer said the skeletons are more than a century old and belonged to a defunct chapter of an international fraternal organization that used them in secret rituals. He said he promised the seller he wouldn't reveal the identity of the organization, but said the Pennsylvania chapter closed because too many members died.

He said the organization bought the bones in the early 1900s from a catalog it used to purchase items for its rituals.

Kempton is in Berks County, about 20 miles west of Allentown.
