Your Ego is Medium

You have what psychologists would call a healthy ego. You have high self esteem, but you don't think too highly of yourself. You believe in yourself, but you are also able to believe in others. You know how to put your ego in check and let someone else take the reins.

How Big Is Your Ego?

Have You Ever Been in Love?

You Have Been in Love a Few Times

You know all about love firsthand. You've experienced it more than once, and you may be in love right now.

Your heart is quite open, and you have few barriers when it comes to falling in love. You just let yourself fall.

You have also experienced your fair share of heartbreak, but you know that just comes with the territory.

You never like healing a broken heart. However, you know that your heart can love again no matter what. It's just a question of time.

Have You Ever Been in Love?

Are You Frank?

Frankenstein, maybe.

You Are Somewhat Frank

You are constantly balancing your deep desire to be truthful with your need to be polite.

Whenever it's easy, you tell the truth. When it's not easy, well, you at least hint at the truth.

You believe that people aren't as into honesty as they claim to be. And not as honest either.

You are an open book with the people you know best, but you you'll tell a white lie to smooth things over.

Are You Frank?

My Sturdy Heart

Your Imperfect Heart is Sturdy

Your heart is imperfect because it is so self-controlled. You are patient and willing to wait for love.

You are not judgmental or biased. You love people for who they are, and you are very empathetic. You forgive easily.

You are lighthearted and optimistic, perhaps too much so sometimes. You would rather get burned than distrust someone all the time.

Your approach to love is both wise as the ages and modern as can be. You are likely to enjoy an untraditional relationship of some sort.

The Imperfect Heart Test

I could go on and be very specific to each statement in the result, but will instead say that nearly all  of them are wrong.   I'd say my heart was "hard" now instead of sturdy;  even a rock can shatter when dropped from a lofty height.

What's Cookin'?

"You Are Nigella Lawson"

When you cook, you focus on down home style foods that provide tons of comfort.
If it doesn't taste good, you don't cook it. And you never feel bad for making simple, old school favorites.

It's likely that you are quite humble about your cooking. You don't consider yourself an expert or a chef.

You may not be the biggest foodie in your circle of friends, but it's likely that you cook the tastiest food!

What Food Network Chef Are You?

I was a little surprised my results said I was a female, but if I couldn't have Alton Brown, then Nigella is fine, just fine. Since this is a G-rated blog, I won't make any off-color jokes, but if I could put together the physical embodiment of the perfect woman, she would pretty much be it.  

Salad Daze

You Are Balanced

You're the type who likes everything in moderation, and you're especially good at balancing out life's extremes. You are a bit of a novelty seeker, and you like to have a really good mix of things in your life. There is always room for something or someone new. You meld well with many different types of people, and you can bridge the gap in groups where members have little in common. You don't take anything in life too personally and seriously. If you have a bad day or week, you know things will eventually even out.

"C" What I Am?

You Are Carefree

You are always brimming with excitement and possibilities. You love to experiment and learn. You like to go wherever life takes you. You have no rules or routine. You are a true free spirit. You do whatever works. If what works changes, you'll change too. You don't value structure or order much in your life. It kills the spontaneity.

Not bad for me, an "optimistic agnostic".

What Domesticated Animal Are You?

Sometimes these quizzes are so spot-on they're scary.  I'm not convinced of the "...you tend to help others heal", but I like to think the rest is accurate.

You Are a Cat

You are a highly independent person. You enjoy exploring the world on your own, and you really treasure your alone time. You have a deep connection with yourself, and you are most relaxed when you fly solo. You enjoy family and friends, but you are a loner at heart. You are a true adventurer, and you have a ton of courage. You are very curious about the world, and you love to explore the unknown as much as you can. You are a very intuitive creature, and you tend to help others heal. You have a good sense of what someone needs, even if there are many mysteries involved.

What Domesticated Animal Are You?

Are You Smarter Than You Think?

Here are the criteria, according to this:

15 Signs You Might Be Smarter Than You Think

I'll go down the list and comment after each one.

#15. You’re thin.

Well, one strike against me already.  I'm certainly not fat, but not exactly thin, either.

#14. You drink alcohol regularly.

Nope.  I have alcohol in my house and during the hottest parts of summers, I sometimes buy a six pack or even 12, but most go to waste.  "Regularly"?  No.

#13. You’re a worrywart.

I wouldn't say that applies to me, either.  I only start worrying when things start looking bad.  Yep, I procrastinate even in my worrying.

#12. You’re messy.

Ding Ding Ding!  I finally matched up with one.  I think "messy" would be a little too kind to describe me;  I'm a slob.

#11. Being alone is just fine with you.

Oh yeah, probably because of #12.  Seriously, my mom used to tell me I preferred my own company and she was right.  I could be a hermit, as long as the cave was close to a grocery store and had high speed Internet.  

#10. You own a cat.

Never considered myself "owning" a cat, but rather that I was their servant.  I feed some outside kitties, so I'm gonna count this one as a "Yes".

#9. You’re tall, or left-handed.

Just what defines "tall"?  I'm not short.  I used to be just nearly 6 feet tall, but as I've grown older, I'm getting shorter, a natural thing from what I've read.  Maybe that means as you grow older and shorter, you also get dumber?

I'm not left-handed, either.  I'm sort of glad about that, after seeing the difficulties some of my left-handed friends encounter in a right-handed world.

#8. People think you’re funny.

I think they do, at least most people who know me do.  I like to make people laugh. I used to make my ex-wife laugh when I undressed in front of her. 

#7. Sex could wait until after high school.

Good grief, no.  I couldn't wait and dreamed about it from the first time I ever considered girls as sexual beings.  I seriously was afraid I'd die a virgin.   

#6. Suburbia is not for you.

Well, back on the right track with that one.  I would prefer living alone out in the country, isolated from city sounds and nearby neighbors.

#5. You’re the oldest child.

Nope, the youngest.

#4. You were breastfed.

I don't really know for sure.  It wasn't something I ever queried my mom about, but I doubt it.  

 

#3. Reading came easily.

Yes, I knew how to read before I started going to school, thanks to two older sisters who liked to play teacher.  I don't remember learning how to read, just that I knew how long before my peers did.

#2. People call you a night owl.

10-4 on that one.  I have worked a lot of nights in my life and it never bothered me.  I enjoy the quiet of the night.

#1. You’ve used recreational drugs.

Well, yeah, I have.  I hate to admit to it, and I often regret spending the money on them, but then again, I am glad I did them when I was younger and got it out of my system. I never shot anything up, though and my experience with anything other than pot is very limited.  I didn't care for most of it, for one thing and didn't like how it changed the people who DID use them to excess.

So, not sure if that quiz proved anything.  I honestly don't think I'm smarter than I think I am.  I think I'm exactly as smart as I think I am...and not sure if that makes me smart for thinking that.
