Moratorium on FOs
Posted in Crafts, Knitting, Life on 12/17/2007 05:35 pm by KatieUntil Christmas, I won’t be posting any pictures of finished objects, because they’re all pretty much presents. And they won’t all be knitting, but they will all be awesomely radical.
Meantime, check this out, I thought my result was depressingly accurate. Although I don’t bow to all authority figures, and I do think about things SOMETIMES…
Your Score: Romeo
41% Intellectual, 76% Impetuous, and 58% Trusting
Oh dear, you are probably quite pleased with this result and you really shouldn’t be. You are an unreflective hothead, always following your heart in mad pursuit of what you want without caring in the least that you are getting yourself into all kinds of trouble. Quick to love, quick to hate, you make all of your decisions on instinct and are quite proud of that fact. But then it comes as a surprise to you when things blow up in your face. On the off chance you’re not already aware of what life holds in store for you, read this for a quick reminder…
Your Intellectual score was low because you never use what little good sense you’ve been given. Every decision is made from and out of pure emotion and even though you know this you don’t care. In fact, you are actually quite proud of the fact that emotion and instinct are your guiding principles and openly scoff at people who use their heads: “overthinking” you call it…but notice how much more stable their lives are…
To make matters worse, you also scored high for Impetuous: so not only do you allow your emotions to guide you, you make these decisions in a moment. You rarely learn from your mistakes.
Finally, you are Trusting of others to the point of child-like naivete. You give your heart and faith to people instantly and passionately and never really think for a moment that this trust might be misplaced. Authority figures have a tremendous sway over you and you rarely question their opinions.
If you are ever going to get out of the scrapes that you keep getting into you are going to have to stop thinking that there’s something wonderfully romantic about making snap decisions based purely on instinct and emotion. It is good that you find it easy to trust people and confide in them, because you are going to need a lot of help from your friends if you are going to survive. Before deciding on a dangerous course of action, seek out solid advice from people a bit more reflective than yourself — and get that advice from more than one person so you can compare and decide amongst the best courses of action: don’t just go with the opinion of the first authority figure you ask.

My advice is to not take any of these personality assessments all that seriously. They’re just vaguely sympathetic generalizations, not unlike a zodiac, although these at least have a (poor) basis in accuracy.

I got the same result! Not the same percentages, but I still scored as Romeo. Crazy.
