The One With the Shortest Personality Quiz
Happy Hurricane Hunting, everyone! That's right, the time draws near...have you filled up YOUR bathtub yet?
So, I am not normally the type of person (namely, a 13 year old girl) to fill out a bunch of random internet quizzes in the hope of determining my Celebrity-Zodiac-Sharing-Animal-Spirit-Guide (unless I am EXTREMELY bored, that is), but this quiz grabbed my attention. The quiz boasted in that self-assured way non-sentient ads do that it was the shortest personality quiz in the world. Of course, I thought, Now that's just silly. If it's really that short, then it must be a stupid joke quiz. Even so, I decided to see how short it really was. I mean, if it is TRULY short, then it's not going to be a very good judge of my personality, is it? So, I click. This quiz has....
...are you ready for this?
1 question. ONE QUESTION! Are you kidding me? Really, you can check it out for yourself. Click on the quiz and count the questions. Count 'em! 1. The only way you might get an accurate reading on your personality from a single question is if the question is, "How would you describe your personality?" Seriously! Now I have taken three or four real personality tests, all of which were insanely long and boring, and they turned out to be fairly accurate. I mean, there was a little hit or miss going on, but that's okay. I don't expect perfection. But from one question? Come on! This is what I got...
Dang it. Best one yet.

| Your Personality Profile |
 You are elegant, withdrawn, and brilliant. Your mind is a weapon, able to solve any puzzle. You are also great at poking holes in arguments and common beliefs. For you, comfort and calm are very important. You tend to thrive on your own and shrug off most affection. You prefer to protect your emotions and stay strong. |
Dang it. Best one yet.

Eh, don't worry. Mine was totally wrong - as were the last fifty random short blog quizzes I took. :-)
Hey - why do we have the word verification thingy to leave a comment? I never really understood what it's for, but I thought it was for some type of security. Just wondering.

Ohhh. Okay, I've never heard of comment spam. That WOULD be annoying. I guess I don't have to worry about that in the fun world of livejournal! :-)

Yes, sorry about that. I HATE COMMENT SPAM! I think that is the rudest form of advertizing ever conceived. I didn't want to restrict comments to Blogger members, so I am using the letter thing. Enjoy!!
