... this is me, as far as possible:

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Ranger (5th Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-13

Dexterity-11

Constitution-13

Intelligence-15

Wisdom-11

Charisma-14


Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment because it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

ETA: The other characters did not create especially interesting results, as their world has a lot more in common with mine than with a D&D one.

You Are An INTJ

The Scientist You have a head for ideas - and you are good at improving systems. Logical and strategic, you prefer for everything in your life to be organized. You tend to be a bit skeptical. You're both critical of yourself and of others. Independent and stubborn, you tend to only befriend those who are a lot like you. In love, you are always striving to improve your relationship. You have strong ideas of what love should be like. At work, you excel in figuring out difficult tasks. People think of you as "the brain." You would make an excellent scientist, engineer, or programmer. How you see yourself: Reasonable, knowledgeable, and competent When other people don't get you, they see you as: Aloof, controlling, and insensitive

Anyone surprised?

Thought so.

If you do not know what the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is you won't get the joke. To make it shorter than the Wikipedia article, the Indicator is a field of sixteen possible results of a psychological test, going extroverted (E) vs. introverted (I), concrete (S) vs. contextual (N), thinking (T) vs. feeling (F), and getting one's picture of the world from how one perceives it (P) as opposed to what one thinks/feels about it (J). Like many psychological tests it is fun to play with, and like all typologies and patterns, it fascinates me.

Among the critiques of the test I have read is that it does not deliver consistent results for the same person (as well as that it's nonsense anyway), and I have to say that it's more fun to play with the classes than with the test itself. However, it's a test where I very, very consistently rate a specific type, no matter of my mood, the weather, the time of day or my current fandom.

Today I stumbled upon a place, Typealyzer, where you can put in the URL of a blog (or LJ), and get your MB type.

Here's the result for this LJ:

ESFP - The Performers

The entertaining and friendly type. They are especially attuned to pleasure and beauty and like to fill their surroundings with soft fabrics, bright colors and sweet smells. They live in the present moment and don't like to plan ahead - they are always in risk of exhausting themselves.

The enjoy work that makes them able to help other people in a concrete and visible way. They tend to avoid conflicts and rarely initiate confrontation - qualities that can make it hard for them in management positions.

It also shows a picture about which part of my brain is working when I write, which seems to be "none".

You might want to try to guess what type I'm getting when I take the actual test. ( Or look it up under the cut )

Let's say my LJ and I complement each other. One could also say that my LJ is a piece of performance art.


... And now I'm wondering how to manipulate the results. Note to self: Will not create 16 LJ accounts to experiment.

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

That doesn't surprise anyone, does it?

This morning, when I came in to work, some guy with a softly clicking Geiger counter was walking through to office, talking in his cell phone, "Turn it on... now off... on...".

The office is right above the lab, but according to Geiger counter guy, the shielding works fine.

P.Z. Myers is getting sued by a crackpot. Making Light has the story, Slashdot has some fine snark if you are willing to wade into the tl;dr discussion.

***

Some fanficcer is offended by a sporking one of her stories received at deletrius, threatens to send in the lawyers and in the process claims copyright of Harry Potter. The story has a very surprising ending.

This would be the perfect bedside table for SCAdians, if only it was made of rattan. Also, the ergonomy is doubtful. But cool idea if you want to outweird your friends and neighbors.

Which Tarot Card Are You?. My result is rather stupid, but the cards are pretty, and one of my alter egos has the Tower, which is cool. (via skzbrust).

You Are an Afternoon Person

You can find energy any time of the day ... or night! You prefer to be out and about when most other people are. Very early mornings or very late nights aren't really your thing. You're practically solar powered, and the afternoon is when do best.

What does it take to be a night person in this test beyond having a natural awake-time between 1 pm and 5 am?

cyrna, in response to my post three days ago directed me to an Online Music Test. As I have an unhealthy fascination with personality tests, I scuttled over instantly, and now I'm going to ramble about it. You have been warned.

Heheh. There are more tests on that site.

Let no one say that I'm never posting links anymore:
