Science Simplicity

I did two Blogthings tests that I had seen on a few other blogs. One was to simply enter one's name and they would tell you all about you. Fiddlesticks! Who is this person you see before you? A schizophrenic?! How can you be all these things simultaneously. Talk about split personality. Or is it just because I don't have an English name? Maybe they haven't worked their way through all existing names yet, which is understandable, and just concocted something from various basic personalities, with a rather amusing result. I have changed to red what I do not agree with. Not much left is there?

What Anders Means

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are the total package - suave, sexy(? [my question mark]), smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Then there is the "Tell us five things and we'll tell you what kind of learner you are!" What a crude instrument! As you can see I am classed as an Auditory Learner, and I always thought I was a Visual Learner. To be fair, most of what it says about me seems to fit the picture quite well anyway, but there is more to me, I hope!

BTW since I strive for perfection (apparently) and I am quite visual (I would make a very good proofreader) I can't help but notice the grammatical mistake in the title below; the indefinite article should be "an" not "a". Oooops!

You Are a Auditory Learner

You tend to remember what you hear, and you have a knack for speaking well. You excel at debating, foreign languages, and music. You would be an excellent diplomat - or rock star!

What's Your Learning Style?

My Personal DNA

I have had this online test on the back burner for a while, so I do not remember which blogger(s) I have to thank for it. It is always fun to have a go to see how accurately they read one’s answers. I believe I am more imaginative than the test claimed, but otherwise it is quite close to how I see myself. Apparently I am a Benevolent Leader, which suits me fine as a teacher, don’t you think?

If you would like to explore your own on-line personal DNA and you have a good thirty minutes to spare, then do the test. Like the trusting person I am, I publicise the results here (Mouse over any part of the box to learn more about the traits that the colours represent.) :

You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

You are Benevolent

You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.

Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.
