I'm a Mandarin

Brilliant Ann, of Gorgeous Things blog, posted this test the other day and I thought I'd share it with you for your weekend amusement. I find it amazing that a handful of carefully chosen questions can achieve such a quick and clear window into my soul!

I'm a Mandarin!

You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.

Talent: 33%
Lifer: 38%
Mandarin: 56%

Take the Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin quiz.

And what am I doing this weekend? Cleaning my room, working on Hallowe'en costumes, practicing with a vocalist for some possible future gigs, maybe going to look at a new keyboard (piano synthesizer, not computer), and - thank you, Tyler - having a smidge less child care than the past couple of weekend. All the better to get these costumes off my todo list, as next weekend I'll be in New York City.

Enjoy your weekend.

Here's the Talent writeup....

You're a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You're determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You're not afraid of a fight, and you're not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you're already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you're not willing to settle for an ordinary life.

Talent: 56%

And I wish they would've explained WTF these terms mean. I mean, one's an ancient unit of weight, one's a prisoner, and one's an orange! I don't get the connection.
