Personality quizzes

I took a quiz today that told me what my personality is like, based on my birth month. This is what it read:

“Determined. Hopeless romantic. Industrious. Warm and compassionate. Patient and tolerant. Do or die attitude. Inquisitive and intuitive. Faithful friend. Sharp thinker. Emotional lover. Secretive. Active. You like to enjoy life to the fullest. Easy going. Attractive personality.”

I kind of like that. It’s got a little truth in it, I must say. Funny, how one of the words is inquisitive, for I do in fact ask many questions. That is to say, I am, as dictionary.com puts it, eager for knowledge. I would say I am secretive -- for reasons that will remain un-divulged, of course. Active: tennis/drums/some running. When I finally do find that special someone, I would like to be an emotional lover, not a bland piece of human creation made to mitosis the heck out of myself. Enjoying life to the fullest would be my supreme occupation, however boring my particulars would be to others. I don’t know about sharp thinker, but I like to think I have an imaginative mind. You tell me if I have an attractive personality, Lord knows I don’t have to attract myself!

I’ve always enjoyed taking personality quizzes, ever since I was young. There’s something in the act of finding out more about yourself through a medium other than your thoughts. Almost like a confirmation of what you’ve always wanted to hear, or sadly expected to hear (or happily expected to hear). The more knowledge you have of yourself makes you feel more in control. And who wouldn’t want that? After all, at least for me, one of the scariest feelings is the feeling of being at the entrance of insanity or is it the jump off from sanity? However way you look at it, the feeling is just as scary as the feeling you get going to bed in a dark room just after watching a scary that movie that you’ve realized was a regret.
