Your result for The Personality Defect Test ...
Hand-Raiser
You are 57% Rational, 86% Extroverted, 29% Brutal, and 43% Arrogant.
You are the Hand-Raiser, that annoying kid in class who always had an answer for everything. No doubt, as a child you probably sat in the front of the class, anxiously waving your hand back and forth in the air while your teacher desperately tried to avoid calling on you because you were the ONLY fucking kid that answered her questions. Clearly, the key traits of your personality are your rationality and your extroversion. You are like a little talkative calculator, in other words. You also tend to be rather gentle and less arrogant than most people. Your presence is a bane to everyone's existence, because you are too nice for your own good and you absolutely will not shut up. So what is your defect, then? Well, you're boring, and when you're not boring, you are just plain annoying with your ultra-logical responses and constant need to talk to others. So keep waving that hand in the air, son. I'm still not calling on you. You are too logical, you talk too much, and your humility and gentleness only makes me hate you more, because they make me feel like I almost SHOULDN'T hate you. But I do. Big time. And by the way, the more you wave your hand in class--your extended hand becoming nothing more than a blur as you insanely wave it, thinking we can't see it--the more smug satisfaction the teacher takes in watching the look of excrutiating pain cross your face as you agonize over not being called on, and the longer we'll wait to call on you, just because we absolutely love torturing you so.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Brute.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Haughty Intellectual, and the Robot.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

Be sure to take my Sublime Philosophical Crap Test if you are interested in taking a slightly more intellectual test that has just as many insane ramblings as this one does!
About Saint_Gasoline
I am a self-proclaimed pseudo-intellectual who loves dashes. I enjoy science, philosophy, and fart jokes and water balloons, not necessarily in that order. I spend 95% of my time online, and the other 5% of my time in the bathroom, longing to get back on the computer. If, God forbid, you somehow find me amusing instead of crass and annoying, be sure to check out my blog and my webcomic at SaintGasoline.com.
The whole point of pain is the most wonderful appreciation for everything that comes when the pain recedes. I took the exam yesterday morning and, although I won't officially hear that I passed for a week or so, I really don't give two fucks about that verdict--I absolutely knocked that exam out.
Huge, huge thanks go to everyone for all the sweet encouragement and good thoughts. More posts to follow, posts about stuff other than the MA exam, but for now, I'm just going to enjoy the shit out of a weekend completely off.
Hope all is well with all...
Done, done, done! Both of the last-MA-papers are done! And printing right now! Wonderful, wonderful world!
Spring break is my favorite all-time holiday, as of this year.
Whooosh, it has been a week. To show the range, I offer a little acrostic of highlights, by day:
Monday, I was on the second day of my rag, but class that night was really sweet.
Tuesday, wasn't bad overall, just hectic, but I did get confirmation that there would be no lecturer positions at my institution for graduating GA's next fall. Also, cramps.
Wednesday, I found out that I got a section of Argumentative Writing at my beloved community college for Spring. Obviously, I was in a great mood all day. I got to make plans to play with a friend over the break. Class that night was a lot of fun. Not much else sticks in my mind. Oh, right, in the shower that night, I found a teeny, tiny lump, which I'm sure will turn out to be nothing.
Thursday, in the morning, I breathed a great deal, and made a doctor's appointment for Monday morning. I had a really good day with my students, and really all sorts of nice things happened, but I felt ill all day--woozy, stomachy, and chills and sweats. Although exactly such a flu has been going around, I spent most of the day sure that this was evidence that the lump I found will turn out to be everything. Went home and was dead asleep by 6.
Friday, today, I till felt pretty shitty all day, but not as bad as yesterday. When I got to work, I found out that I did, in fact, already get a lecturer's position at my institution for fall. Weird world, eh? At any rate, I got a lot of work done, and got to see some really lovely people. I did, however, spend a fair amount of time diagnosing the teeny, tiny lump that will turn out to be nothing.
Yeah, I'm ready for some goddamned spring break.
And it's off to a very sweet start, I'm happy to report, lumps and flus notwithstanding. :) My work is done for the week, and I had the most wonderfully grounding and comforting conversation with the dearest Heartswater. I've got a nicely moderate schedule of social and professional get-togethers, some nice open space to read and think whatever thoughts I'm in the mood for, as well as some great big chunks marked off to do my work. My work, not student work. And a doctor's appointment, scheduled optimistically a good few hours before a meeting.
Tomorrow we get to go to a Basketball-O-Rama, where the women's and men's team from my institution will play a double-header. We get to sit in the VIP area, because I'm being honored (for god's sake!) for being selected by one of the players as his Favorite Teacher or Staff Member at Our University. It really, honestly doesn't get any better than that, for me. I can't say enough to express how truly floored that this kid picked me. It's pretty fucking mindblowing--he was in the first class I ever taught, and I really had felt that I had failed to serve him well, in particular. My gratitude for this one is really, mindbogglingly huge.
For the past few weeks, we've been talking about making a night of it, and staying at some cool hotel for the night. All week, though, whenever I've asked him about it, SLP has kept hedging and kind of acting like maybe we wouldn't be able to go, and I've been really focusing on being cool about it and not being a big, whiny baby. Which has, I'm embarrassed to report, required quite a little more strength of character than I would've hoped.
But who cares now?!? :) We're going after all--he's been just trying to create a surprise out of it! And we're not just going to any hotel--we're going to the hotel of my most starry-eyed fantasies. It's just across the street from the subdivision where I grew up, and it is the fanciest place I ever saw for the first twelve years of my life.
So no lumps for the weekend, damnit! No homework, no research, no reading/responding to student work. I'll not take one note, nor edit a single line of my CV. I'm going to breathe in and out. I'm going to stare at the sea for a few days, in the company of a few people I really like a huge amount. And I'm going to spend as much of the time as I possibly can in the arms of my husband, being really, really nice to him.
May the coming week be Spring Break for you, too,
B
Thanks for all the nice words! I'm pretty sure I'll be getting two classes (probably comp) at the community college. It's just a thrillllll: a) i went to this community college when i finally started school, b) it's a very cool, very student-centered, very well funded institution, and c) I'VE GOT A JOB, I'VE GOT A JOB, I'VE GOT A JOB!!!!!
Tragically, I won't be able to get a haircut till next week, but I think I'll live. ;)
And now, I must withdraw into a pile of work. Hope to be back here writing soon.
That's right, folks, I just got me a teaching gig in spring term at the community college here in town, and my beloved haircutter is out of jail and back at work and I'm gonna get this out of control mass on my head cut down to size on Thursday!
Oh, happy, happy day!!!!!!
So I'm actually too late on this one to properly post in response to the question, but I still wanna chime in.
What do I do for fun when I'm broke?
Well, pretty much everything, 'cause I'm pretty much always broke, so I try to make everything fun. That's the trick to being poor, in my experience. This, though, was fun without even trying:
