I always thought of myself as a "happy-go-lucky" guy...I'm known for my humor and when I go places, the response is much more "Great!...redd's here!" than "Shit...redd's here."...

Now I see I'm just living a lie and should buy razor blades because the genius quizmakers think I'm pathetic...

Ha!!! Rather then that, you send them a raspberry for thinking so 'typical' instead.

Personally, I find such quizzes interesting...Not because the quizzes represent me...But that the people designing the quizzes do so in such a narrow way.

Heck...I love my life and everything...But even then, I know that personally there's always room for improvement period.

Even IQ quizzes don't faze me...Sure I do good on them...But intelligence is fluid at best and does change over time for even the individual...

I guess I just like seeing what box someone tries to stick me in...And it's always interesting to discuss just how far out of the box I am, considering their narrow deffinitions/observations?

In quizzes...and in forums...I don't like being told what I AM...I define myself...

I was on a forum awhile ago where, after a post, I was called both a Liberal and a Neo-con for my position...

That's how I know I'm a moderate...

ROTFLMAOL!!! I know the feeling about the liberal/neo-con calls too...As well as also being told I was a priest, satanist, athiest....All for not agreeing with someone else's preferences/opinions.

I guess I'm just strange...I get a good chuckle when someone tries to tell me who I am, or how my life is supposed to be, based off of their own preconceptions of what's 'right/wrong' or opinions of why someone might do/say something other then what they accept as 'the norm'.

I firmly believe that although experiences may shape a person, it's the person who determines in just how those experiences will shape them...For better or for good, but it's still the individual who chooses which way to go on the path when they are halted by life's roadsigns and ditches...

Don't believe that...

Just listen to me and you'll be OK...

For me the quiz didn't even rate my relationship area. I couldn't answer the question about marital status because NONE of the categories fit! I couldn't believe it! I am not "never married," "divorced," "married," or "re-married." They misssed something as obvious as widowed. And what about folks who are partnered simply because they can't get married? Imo it was entertaining but not very scientific.

LOL--you have no idea how many times I've been taken for a gay man. And all because of the word "team" in my id.
