10. Raw scores for enneagram test
You scored as a Seven.
On your left is a breakdown of your scores, ordered from highest to
lowest. If you are not the type you scored highest as, you might be
one of the types you scored next highest as. The highest possible
score is 28, and the lowest is 0. Each type is linked to additional
information on that type. On your right is the breakdown of how many
questions you answered in favor of each triad group.

Remember that your Enneagram type is not how you score on a test, and
the reliability of this test has not been established. You should
regard its results with skepticism, using them only to guide you in
discovering for yourself what your Enneagram type is.
Each point in favor of a type comes from answering a question in favor
of a triad containing that type. This test measures for four different
triads. Three of them are described by Riso & Hudson in The Wisdom of
the Enneagram, and three are described by Hurley & Dobson in What's My
Type?. All four triads are part of my own Enneagram Theory. It is
currently rough and unfinished, but you can look at it in its draft
form if you're curious.
Seven
Primary Intelligence: Mental
Coping Style: Positive
Social Style: Assertive
Hierarchical Style: Ideals
Sevens use their mental intelligence to create a positive spin on life
by coming up with various utopian possibilities about how things could
be. They can be very inspirational as they assert their utopian ideals
about how people can live better lives or make the world a better
place. Robin Williams is a well-known Seven, and his character in the
movie Dead Poets Society is an excellent example of this. By regularly
imagining how things can be good or made better, Sevens tend to be
very optimistic, and their optimism gives them the confidence to
assert themselves in the world, going after whatever it is they want.

6. Which Mythological Form Are You?
Categories: None -- Permalink, Comment form
http://quizilla.com/users/donarepa/quizzes/Which Mythological Form Are You%3F/
I've received a lot of messages asking where I got the information for
this quiz. The fact is that I made it all up. Lol, it's actually from
a book I wrote for a Fantasy Fiction class. But if you'd like to know
more about the book (which is waiting to be published) then feel free
to send me a message. :) Thanks!
What is the second digit of your day of birth? -2-
Pick a few words that appeal to you. Curiosity, Creativity, Logic, Growth
Your friends say you are...? Cheerful, always willing to help, inquisitive, open minded, resourceful
Two of your friends... Be the optimist. Be curious.
What would you say is a flaw of yours? You are a bit strange.
You are meeting someone for a blind date, you...? speak your mind, may have trouble opening up to them.
What is the most important thing to you? Helping others. Learning new things. Becoming a better person.
Pick an element or two that appeals to you. Fire - A guiding light
You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent. "And The Unicorn knew she
wasn't meant to go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice given
to her by the spirits, Unicorn went inside and bled silver blood.. For
her misdeed, the world knew evil." Some examples of the Unicorn Form
are Eve (Christian) and Pandora (Greek). The Unicorn is associated
with the concept of innocence, the number 3, and the element of water.
Her sign is the twilight sun. As a member of Form 3, you are a curious
individual. You are drawn to new things and become fascinated with
ideas you've never come in contact with before. Some people may say
you are too nosey, but it's only because you like getting to the
bottom of things and solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to
have because they are inquisitive.

4. Richi's questionnaire
Categories: None -- Permalink, Comment form
If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
In the middle of the Library of Congress and/or a busy university with lots of geeks.
Your favourite article of clothing
A leatherette trenchcoat I picked up for PHP 400 (USD 8) at a
second-hand shop.
Favourite physical feature of the opposite sex?
Would answer this if I cared. ;)
What's the last CD that you bought
CD? What's a CD? I don't do CDs any more - I don't even have a CD
drive...
Where's your favourite place to be?
Have computer, will travel.
Have good book, will travel.
Have paper and pencil, will travel.
Where's your least favourite place to be?
Anywhere I can't leave, unless I have computer / book / paper and
pencil / boredom survival kit.
Your favourite part of the body to be massaged?
Brain. ;) Lateral thinking puzzles.
What's most important: strong in mind or strong in body?
Strong in mind. Think Stephen Hawking.
What time do you wake in the morning?

guess.)
What's your favourite kitchen appliance?
Computer. Oh, you mean a real kitchen appliance? Hmm. Microwave/convec's pretty useful.

Which do you prefer, sports car or sedan?
Bicycle. Cars are overrated.
Do you believe in afterlife?
I'll tell you if there's one when I get there.
Favourite children's movie?
Hmm. Define "children's movie".
What is your favourite season?
Summer. I dislike the rainy season (inconvenient!), so there's really
not much of a choice. Besides, I'm CS - I stay in airconditioned rooms all the time.
What's your least favourite household chore?
Cleaning up after the dogs. Why can't they be as well-trained as my
cat? Okay, they _are_ trained; they just... well... excrete more.
If you could have one super power, what would it be?
Persuasion. Very useful. Can convince students they already know what
they need to know.
If you have a tattoo, what is it?
Don't have one!
Can you juggle?
Can you? :-). Two with difficulty. I've never tried three.
The one person from your past you wish you could go back and talk to?
My past? Shucks. Oooh, Bill Gates. ;) Not a brief talk and congrats on
the .NET contest (for which we still don't have prizes!), but rather a
sit-down-over-hot-chocolate-and-make-him-feel-really-guilty sort of
thing.
What's your favourite day?
Depends.
What's in the trunk of your car?
What car?
Which do you prefer, fish or meat?
Meat.
Is there anyone else besides the person you are with, you would like to be with?
Who needs to be with anyone? I'll think about that later. Much later. Much much much later.
From the people you will email this to, who's most likely to respond?
E-mail? I'm not e-mailing this off to people. It's a cookie for those
who read my site.
Who's least likely to respond?
You. But put it up on a website and send me a link anyway.
If you could build a house anywhere, where would it be?
In the middle of the Library of Congress and/or a busy university with lots of geeks.
Your favourite article of clothing
A leatherette trenchcoat I picked up for PHP 400 (USD 8) at a second-hand shop.
Favourite physical feature of the opposite sex?
Would answer this if I cared. ;)
What's the last CD that you bought
CD? What's a CD? I don't do CDs any more - I don't even have a CD drive...
Where's your favourite place to be?
Have computer, will travel. Have good book, will travel. Have paper and pencil, will travel.
Where's your least favourite place to be?
Anywhere I can't leave, unless I have computer / book / paper and pencil / boredom survival kit.
Your favourite part of the body to be massaged?
Brain. ;) Lateral thinking puzzles.
What's most important: strong in mind or strong in body?
Strong in mind. Think Stephen Hawking.
What time do you wake in the morning?
Six, seven, or whenever my kitten decides to wake up. I don't know what I'll do without her. (Snooze for hours five minutes at a time, I guess.)
What's your favourite kitchen appliance?
Computer. Oh, you mean a real kitchen appliance? Hmm. Microwave/convec's pretty useful.
What makes you really angry?
Angry? What's that?
If you could play any instrument, what would it be?
Instruments aren't my thing. I'd rather learn to use my voice well.
Favourite colour?
Red!
Which do you prefer, sports car or sedan?
Bicycle. Cars are overrated.
Do you believe in afterlife?
I'll tell you if there's one when I get there.

3. Which X-Men character are you most like?
Categories: None -- Permalink, Comment form
You are Professor X!
You are a very effective teacher, and you are very committed to those who learn from you. You put your all into everything you do, to some extent because you fear failure more than anything else. You are always seeking self-improvement, even in areas where there is nothing you can do to improve.

2. Which archangel are you?
Categories: None -- Permalink, Comment form
Gabriel. You're most like the ArchAngel of Communication, in charge of things like telephones, libraries, internet, and the 411 phone menu. You're organised and are not shy about inflicting that organisation on others.

FINISH THIS STATEMENT. "IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY, I'd act no different; I'd just be able to affect more people or take more risks.
DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Nope.
STORMS, COOL OR SCARY? Cool but annoying.
FINISH THIS STATEMENT, "IF I HAD THE TIME, - but I always _have_ time. I just need to _make_ time for what I want to do.
DO YOU EAT STEMS OF BROCCOLI? Yup.
IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE? Why subject my hair to chemical degradation?
WHAT IS UNDER YOUR BED? Nothing. I think.
