This is cool. You have to arrange these little squares in order of colour. http://www.xrite.com/custom_page.aspx?PageID=77 I got 7, best score is 0. The ones I got wrong were right in the centre of the spectrum they used, in the blue-green area; it was interesting that they weren't scattered around. Aynia, as a designer, the pressure is on you to get 0 ;) I found it really hard to really "see" the colours and squares - the lines keep bending, the colours moved about and there are "light" and "dark" lines running through the screen*. This generally happens when I try and look at things (computer screens, the outdoors, etc) where there is high contrast (I think that is the problem), and it is a cloudy afternoon here**, with the computer screens a fair amount brighter than the surrounding light level, and it is hard to see what's on them clearly. Luckily I don't need to analyse the exact position of lines nor exact colours, so this isn't a pro...

My score on The "What Type of Intellectual are You?" Test : Your Score : The Collaborator You scored 66% empirical, 40% public, and 23% teaching-oriented You are The Collaborator! The Collaborator is one of the most beloved types of intellectuals. With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, you spread your sights over a broad range of disciplines, eager to tap the knowledge of the brightest in their fields. Acting as a sort of honey bee to these great minds, you synthesize an eclectic array of abilities. Your name may be second on a lot of books and papers, but you'll always be first in the hearts of your peers! Link: The "What Type of Intellectual are You?" Test Luckily, I was just reading about Erdos numbers the other day, so I have actually heard of their example. This is probably somewhat correct in the "broad range of disciplines" bit, and I'd rather not be the pioneer discovering something in an area, or leading s...

Don't you want to know your words-per-minute typing score? Here is an online test where you type in the words shown for a minute and they tell you how many you do correctly. 49 words Speedtest I got 38 the first time, because I was not relaxed enough and was trying to be quick also. You need to be relaxed to type quickly, and you need to not think about it and just do it. I'm not sure if I type this quickly normally or not. On the one hand, I am not trying to type fast normally so maybe I just be slack and do it slowly. On the other hand, I am normally not worrying about anything and am just typing, so maybe I am more relaxed and thus typing faster. Also, when typing from my head instead of looking at the words on the screen, I am not slowed down by what the words say, or by having to visually process the words and then send them to my hands. Typing what I'm thinking seems to involve less thought (or no thought even). I make a fair amount of mistakes though, some of which a...

Possibly the worst quiz ever. Oh no wait - most awesome quiz ever. I get confused. Which File Extension are You? I'm sad that I did not get a file extension I've actually heard of. But then, what is wrong with me that I have not heard of this file extension? Everyone must do this and tell me what they got (or post where you know I'll see it). Emergency edit - I have heard of it, but as an I N F file, spelling out the letters rather than saying "inf" which is how I was thinking of it before. (Apparently my brain only recognises sounds, not visual information.)

I'm not entirely sure about the validity of this.... :D I do believe that the happier people are the better off everyone would be - but it is true happiness, not superficial. A happy person makes others happy, behaves responsibly and helps others because they want to share. A happy person sees the pleasures of life and enjoys them consciously and mindfully. Happiness is on the approach to enlightenment. I don't think this would classify as hedonism, but my interpretation of the questions in the quiz led it to this conclusion on my beliefs. What philosophy do you follow? (v1.03) You scored as Hedonism Your life is guided by the principles of Hedonism : You believe that pleasure is a great, or the greatest, good; and you try to enjoy life’s pleasures as much as you can. “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!” Hedonism 85% Existentialism 75% Utilitarianism 60% Strong Egoism 60% Kantianism 50% Nihilism 30% Apathy 30% Justice (Fairness) 15% Divine Command 0%

I quite particularly like this one. I wonder what when I do it again. There were generally 2 or 3 answers to each question that seemed particularly appealing. But maybe that is to be expected if I am a CHANGELING! I always liked the stories of changelings, they are some of the best... What type of Fae are you?

Yes, another test, see here . My results were: Your Brain Usage Profile: Auditory : 56% Visual : 43% Left : 64% Right : 35% I might try it again a few times sometime, apparently the questions can be different, and get an average result. I have just recently had it suggested that I might be good at learning in an auditory manner, which I never considered before. Many people have a much lower auditory usage than I in this test, so it is something I should look into more. Remember to click on the link to view the summary.

This quiz wasn't as fun as the other one, and I'm not entirely sure I agree? You are a Spatial Thinker Spatial Thinkers: Tend to think in pictures, and can develop good mental models of the physical world. Think well in three dimensions Have a flair for working with objects Like other spatial thinkers, Leonardo had a talent for designing buildings and machinery. He also invented a new style of map making Other Spatial Thinkers include Pablo Picasso, Michelangelo, Isambard Kingdom Brunel Careers which suit Spatial Thinkers include Mechanic, Photographer, Artist, Architect, Engineer, Builder, Set designer Thinker Quiz link I shall have to think about the results of the thinker quiz and see what I think.

The Latest test: The 4-Variable IQ Test The Results: Your brain: 40% interpersonal, 120% visual, 40% verbal, 200% mathematical! Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80% . Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100% . Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200% . Is that goo...

In reciprocal test-taking, I took a couple that Aynia found after she looked at "the very negative personality test" that I posted. Apparently, in the Buffy Test , I am: Glorificus You probably have a complicated, multi-faceted personality. Kind of like Glory-Ben-Glorificus. Passionate and driven with a spiritual side that comes out at times, a healthy taste for the finer things in life and a willingness to do what's necessary to achieve your ends. You're assertive and have no problems standing up for yourself. And, push come to shove, you're the closest anyone's ever come to straight-up beating the Slayer and her gang. I've never seen Buffy, so the whole thing is kind of pointless, but oh well. Once again, like all the recent personality tests I've done, I don't necessarily agree with all that. It seems unlikely, having seen a picture of this character, that I am anything like them in any way. What's up with these point...

An online quiz with a difference!! Find out the worst about your worst personality traits. I got: Brute You are 42% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 57% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant. You are the Brute! You are introverted, arrogant, brutal, and more intuitive than rational. Like a big, dumb animal, you are driven by your emotions more than your reason, and as a result of the fact that you care very little for the feelings of others, you tend to be rather selfish. You also possibly fling your own poo. Because of your selfishness, you also tend to be a bit arrogant, seeing yourself as big or strong or smart or always correct. This makes you a stubborn, irrational, emotion-driven brute. King Kong best represents the gorilla-version of your personality. Emotional, introverted (King Kong was isolated on his own island, after all), brutal, and arrogant (proud to be the largest ape on Earth!), Kong would probably get along very well with you, seeing as how you share many of the same traits. As...

I did this quiz , and this was my result: What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Drama Nerd You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.) Science/Math Nerd Literature Nerd Gamer/Computer Nerd Artistic Nerd Musician Social Nerd Anime Nerd What Be Your Nerd Type? Quizzes for MySpace I don't know how that (result) happened, how weird. I'm certainly not that personality type and I don't really do drama stuff... Maybe I should do it again. Very odd. There are supposed to be little red lines for all the different types, showing the score, but at least right now, they are no longer showing u...
