Blogthings

Being sufficiently bored this afternoon and seeing that I wasn't in the mood to pick up any particular book, I decided to click repeatedly on the 'Random Articles' button over at Wikipedia, which is a remarkably fun way to waste time. Rawang managed to show up, and I even attempted to read about Laplace formulas, for which Sweetie should be suitably impressed! Not that I understood much of it. But that's why she's the engineer and I'm the doctor.

Also decided to visit a website that was forwarded to me by a friend, in which various blog-based quizzes can be found. So I spent some time on 'em, of which the results can be found down below. Some of them, anyway. Mostly amusing as there are some elements of truth and some elements of 'what-the?', although I'd love to have been Batman.



Your Values Profile

Loyalty:

You value loyalty a fair amount.
You're loyal to your friends... to a point.
But if they cross you, you will reconsider your loyalties.
Staying true to others is important to you, but you also stay true to yourself.

Honesty:

You don't really value honesty.
You do value getting your way, no matter what.
And if a little lying is required to do that, no problem.
A few white lies never hurt anyone (at least, that's what you tell yourself!)

Generosity:

You value generosity a fair amount.
You are all about giving, as long as there's some give and take.
Supportive and kind, you don't mind helping out a friend in need.
But you know when you've given too much. You have no problem saying "no"!

Humility:

You value humility highly.
You have the self-confidence to be happy with who you are.
And you don't need to seek praise to make yourself feel better.
You're very modest, and you're keep the drama factor low.

Tolerance:

You value tolerance highly.
Not only do you enjoy the company of those very different from you...
You do all that you can to seek it out interesting and unique friends.
You think there are many truths in life, and you're open to many of them.








You Are Spider-Man


Quick and agile, you have killer instincts (literally).

You Are An ENTJ

The Executive

You are a natural leader - with confidence and strength that inspires others.
Driven to succeed, you are always looking for ways to gain, power, knowledge, and expertise.
Sometimes you aren't the most considerate person, especially to those who are a bit slow.
You are not easily intimidated - and you have a commanding, awe-inspiring presence.

You would make a great CEO, entrepreneur, or consultant.








You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

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!
