| You Are Independent |
![]() You live a self-directed, autonomous life. While no person is an island, you do your best. You like to have the freedom to choose as much as you can. You know what's best for you, and you enjoy being self-reliant. You hit a wall when you are force to cooperate or work in a group. You don't work well with others, even if you are the leader. In fact, you can do any group task more easily and quickly simply on your own. And that's what you end up doing. You break through walls on your own - using your own means and your own schedule. You are best when left to your own devices. You trust yourself more than anyone else in your life, and you should. You have a great track record. |

| Your Ideal Beach Vacation Is Cozy |
![]() Your idea of a day at the beach is one that feels as natural and as homey as possible. You dream of living at the beach, and even if you can't live there permanently, you'd like to be there a while. Your dream beach getaway would place you right on the beach with your own private quarters. You'd love to wake up to a beach sunrise and wind down with a beach sunset. And listen to the ocean crashing as you sleep. For you, the beach is a place to get warm and sleepy. Once you get comfortable, you never want to leave. More than any type, you belong on the coast permanently. If it isn't already, then it should be your home. |

| You Prioritize Principles |
![]() Whether you're religious or simply philosophical, you have an ethical framework that you're serious about following. When it comes to what's right, you don't think things are as gray as they seem. People just want to avoid doing what they need to do. It isn't easy to behave ethically, and that's why you put so much emphasis on it. You think people should be recognized more for upstanding behavior. Those who don't know you well may call you obstinate and inflexible, but little do they know how much flexibility your ideas about morality give you. By having a clear idea of what is right and wrong for you, you trust yourself to be adventurous and open. You know you'll stick to your guns when you need to. |

| Your Weather Personality is Sunny |
![]() You're the type of person who really appreciates perfect weather - not too chilly, not too warm, and of course the sun is shining. You love to be outdoors. You find nature soothing and inspiring ... especially if you're out there getting your heart rate up. Nothing motivates you more than a sunny day.

You're always more sluggish when the sun is hiding. You like to be outdoors, and you try not to let inclement weather stop you. That being said, you do prefer to be comfortable. Whenever you find yourself in a sunny climate, you try to be outside as much as possible. You love dining al fresco and outdoor malls. |

From the website:
The best way to figure out how the game works is to simply play it.
The game works by showing you a series of geometries that need to be adjusted a little bit to make them right. A square highlights the point that needs to be moved or adjusted. Use the mouse to drag the blue square or arrowhead where you feel it is 'right'. Once you let go of the mouse, the computer evaluates your move, so don't let up on the mouse button until you are sure. The 'correct' geometry is also shown in green, so you can see where you went wrong.
You will be presented with each challenge three times. The table to the right shows how you did on each challenge each time.
Here are my scores:
The odd thing was I got worse in several categories as I played the game.
