Are you people keeping up with my posting? :)

Anyways, I now (after a lot of pestering) took the classic IQ test. I’ve always dreaded these things, as I’m for some reason very confident in the knowledge that everyone else is lot more intelligent than me. Well, it wasn’t as bad as I thought… although let’s not talk about the mathematical questions eh. Here’s what I got.

Your IQ score is 129

Your Intellectual Type is Word Warrior. This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you’re able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas.

Third entry today. How about that huh? :D

Well, this is just a follow up on my thoughts on the personality test. I have a tendency to react with my gut quite swiftly, I guess this is where the F and the J come into play…

Ok so yes, after reading the profile I was quite moved about how deeply it seemed to fit. And I still think there are some really spooky things in there. But of course this is not a result of anyone really analysing me, apart from myself. Obviously, as I answered all of these questions myself, from the knowledge I have of myself, the result is really just my projected self-image. Which is why it felt like looking in the mirror. But I’m not really sure that it needs to be anything more than that. Having never gone to therapy or anything like that, I am pretty much the only person to analyze my own thoughts and to some extent my behaviour. And having these things I know about myself written down in such an concise form, makes them really hit home.

Anyways, I’m glad it has provoked conversation and also made me look at myself more critically (and also more acceptingly in some regards), as well as provided a (fun) foundation for me and some of my friends (namely you Riina) to analyze ourselves. And also perhaps share insight into each other.

Did some more reading on the personality types and found this site, which had some pretty indepth profiles. Reading my own actually choked me a bit. So ok… I think the test was pretty darn accurate then. It’s a bit spooky how all these facets of my personality, which I thought were unique to me, can be categorized like so. Are we so easily divided into groups? It seems such a strange thing, that all of us humans and our personal motivations and feelings could be mapped out like that. Does it mean that we’re not actually that complex? That everything is sort of pre-programmed into our psyche? Uhh I don’t know, but those people who wrote that profile sure as hell knew things about me I thought no-one did. Confusing.

Next, I so want to do the compability test. This is probably not a wise move. :D

I took some heavy duty personality tests. It was a bit time consuming (and strange)but quite good fun. Still trying to figure out what the results mean… erm. Here are my results if you’re interested…
