The Funky Wall Test

I liked all the walls, but after careful consideration, I chose the metal one. If you had a floor drain, you could just hose them off.

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. 



Dueling Philosophers

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

-George Santayana



It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.

A Pair of Abigails

There have been quite a few U.S. Presidents with the same first name; there have been three Georges: Washington, H.W. Bush and W. Bush.

The names John and William tie for second with four apiece;  John: Adams, John Quincy, Tyler and Kennedy. The four Williams are Harrison, McKinley, Taft and Clinton.

The most common name for Amercian presidents is James; Monroe, Madison, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield and Carter.

Yet, there have been only two First Ladies with the same first name: Abigail Adams, wife of John (on the left, below) and Abigail Fillmore, wife of Millard. (on the right)

Life's a Beach

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.


Dangerous Knows Dangerous

Richard Nixon once referred to Timothy Leary as "the most dangerous man in America". Leary, a clinical psychologist and LSD advocate, was a counter-culture hero in the psychedelic 1960's and advised that generation to "turn on, tune in, drop out."

Nixon calling Leary "dangerous" was a proverbial case of "pot, meet kettle".
