It's Fortunate that I Play Ball On This Side

Tuesday, May 27, 2003

I just finished up an online test in aligning various facets of my personality with Star Wars characters. Though the test was a bit of a novelty in comparison to other tests, I think its results are creative and add a twist to the INTJ results I get in other tests:

Openness — Yoda Very High (90 percentile-High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative.) This wise, philosophical, and thoughtful Jedi master challenges the establishment, encouraging his pupils to unlearn what they have learned and see the world in novel, creative ways.

Conscientious — Admiral Ackbar Very High (94 percentile- High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent. ) This rebel Admiral is renowned for his great powers of organization, responsibility, and administrative abilities. He is individual who can be relied upon.

Extroversion — Wampas Low (15 percentile-High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. ) Reclusive creatures of the ice planet Hoth. They are rarely seen & generally shy, leading a solitary existence

Agreeableness — Emperor Palpatine Very Low (6 percentile- High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous.) An evil, power hungry tyrant, he is manipulative, evil, and ruthless.

Neuroticism — Tusken warriors Very High (93 percentile-High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy. ) These inhabitants of Tatooine are unpredictable, temperamental, and excitable, and known to be especially moody in their difficult teenage years.

In other news, I spent most of my weekend moving into my new place. Most everything is in order except for the aesthetics of my server/bed room along with setting up the infrastructure of my computing systems. I have yet to establish broadband Net service, but Jeremy has provided a wireless solution until I can get my own service in place. I'm proud of the mobile TV/Entertainment center that I have. It really was a stroke of luck. Jeremy and I were at Home Depot looking for a bathroom fixture when he spied a tool cabinet of sorts and after taking a gander, I thought I'd give it a whirl. It met in superb fashion the requirements I had for such a system.

No doubt there will be more to follow.
