I design websites, but my Facebook homepage is a disgrace. 30 screens to scroll through, useless information and no focus. The curiosity factor has led to this - I just have to find out - EVERYTHING - particularly when the process will take five minutes. So here is the first in a series of Facebook streamlining ventures - I can’t bear to throw out the information, just in case it becomes useful, and perhaps one of my friends will suddenly have a desperate urge to discover what colour I am (red) or what Sex in the City character I most relate to. And no, it’s not Samantha. Perhaps these quizzes, dreamed by procrastinating university students or rapacious marketing executives, aren’t as robust as in the Dolly magazines of my youth. No, wait. They are! As a child, I desperately trawled these sorts through astrology, palmistry and personality quizzes trying to find a sense of who I was. Nothing about the way I behaved or felt seemed fixed, everything seemed open. I didn’t experience any strong emotions. Now I know that flexibility is one of my strongest personality features and that my first reaction to anything is never emotional, despite how dramatic I can later become. Very dramatic, for those in the know.
So there is no need for me to do these quizzes, but some part of me - childish and irrational - still hopes that as a composite, they create a person, a tangibility that may be lacking when you simply do nothing.
Of course, by taking these quizzes (when I should be working), I am doing nothing. I’d best hide the evidence in this blog - a blog that no one reads…
Happy quizzing!
And now for the results:
Which vegetable are you?
Colette Corr is mange toute
You’re an all-or-nothing person. People have to take you for what you are or give up entirely. You’re not called semi-mange, after all.
What Superhero Are You?
I’m “Spiderman”!
You are a crossbreed of hero and nerd. Although a fine superhero, this is not the line of work you are really interested in. You want to be an artist and lover. But to be fair, if you really didn’t want to be a superhero, you probably shouldn’t have let yourself get bitten by that radioactive spider.
What Band Member Are You?
I’m “The Singer”!
You’re the glamorous one in your group, and you were born to be in front of an audience. You get to look at that gorgeous face in the mirror every five minutes - why shouldn’t everyone else? You may want to break free from your friends at times, but you shouldn’t - no one will ever appreciate you as much as they do. Besides, beauty gets old fast, you sexy beast.
What Kind of Lover are You?
I’m “The Flirt”!
You’re playful in bed - you have the somewhat unique ability to realize that sex is fun. Which is good because you didn’t freak out when your partner farted that one time. Sometimes you tease, sometimes you go right at it - but your style differs depending on the mood you’re in, and how boring your partner is. And you probably have tried some toys.
What [Whom] is Your Ideal Lover?
I need “The Flirt”!
When it comes to all things, you want fun. You want someone who can make you moan and laugh at the same time. Your ideal lover has no trouble role-playing, whether it’s as common as the naughty nurse or as ridiculous as a Star Wars character. And someone in the relationship has got an awfully big light saber.
The Brain Game”
I AM RIGHT BRAINED !
Right brained people tend to be subjective, creative, intuitive and holistic.
Here are some famous right-brainers: William Shakespeare, Mozart, Pablo Picasso
What Sex and the City Character are you?
I’m “Samantha Jones”!
You are bold, spontaneous and liberated. You do what you want, when you want, and who you want. Your life is all about what you make it. Not everyone has the courage to start a successful business or go up to the hottest guy in the bar. But that’s why people are attracted to you. Your larger than life persona gives you the ability to negotiate all things, right down to ‘your place or mine’?
What Color Are You?
I’m Red
The color of romance and emotion - you sure know a thing or two about passion. While often associated with anger, you represent the truth in human emotion. You stand for blood, fire and power. While even considered a major symbol of good luck in Oriental cultures, you symbolize leadership and valor - power that cannot be easily conquered.
The Political Compass
Political Compass for Colette Corr
Economic Left/Right: -6.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44
Picture Personality
Temperament: Cosmopolitan
When you wake up in the morning, you set out to impress and to make a lasting impression on those who you encounter. You surround yourself with all the right people and right things - making you a real trendsetter. Others admire and want to be just like you. Second best will not do - it’s the best (and only the best) for you. You are attentive to detail in yourself, your surroundings and your social circle.
Interests: Simple
You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life - you don’t allow yourself to fall victim to all of the “should do’s” that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.
Amusement: Thoughtful
You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.
Passion: Traditional
Your notions about romance are viewed as unrealistic by many, but don’t let that stop you. When you think of romance, you think of huge gestures of commitment, sacrifice and love like we see in the movies. Flowers, chocolate, and wine are just some of the ways to your heart. You want to feel loved and treasured by your partner and you expect to be courted, admired and hotly pursued. You long for old fashioned dating.
