On a Lighter Note...

Another one of those largely meaningless but diverting quizzes that pop up from time to time, brought to my attention by Tom this time around. I took it a couple of times (in trying to get back to the results page, I wasn’t always able to remember exactly how I’d answered the first time around), so I figure I’m somewhere between these two assessments.

20 Questions to a Better Personality

First evaluation:

You are an SRDF — Sober Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a font of knowledge. You are cool, analytical, intelligent and completely unfunny. Sometimes you slice through conversation with a cutting observation that causes silence and sidelong glances. You make a strong and lasting impression on everyone you meet, the quality of which depends more on their personality than yours.

You may feel persecuted, as you can become a target for fun. Still, you are focused enough on your work and secure enough in your abilities not to worry overly.

You are productive and invaluable to those you work for. You are loyal, steadfast, and conscientious. Your grooming is impeccable. You are in good shape.

You are kind of a tool, but you get things done. You are probably a week away from snapping.

Second evaluation:

You are an SEDF — Sober Emotional Destructive Follower. This makes you an evil genius. You are extremely focused and difficult to distract from your tasks. With luck, you have learned to channel your energies into improving your intellect, rather than destroying the weak and unsuspecting.

Your friends may find you remote and a hard nut to crack. Few of your peers know you very well — even those you have known a long time — because you have expert control of the face you put forth to the world. You prefer to observe, calculate, discern and decide. Your decisions are final, and your desire to be right is impenetrable.

You are not to be messed with. You may explode.

Well, I may take issue with a couple of points on both sides. I’m no comedian, but am I really completely unfunny? My grooming is okay, but I’d hardly call it “impeccable” (I’m working on it), and while I’ve been in shape at various points in my life (hey, I was a varsity swimmer), I don’t know that I’d say the same now. And I can’t imagine I’m all that immpenetrable; if anything, I’m fairly transparent. Well, except for the deep, dark secrets I keep bottled up in the recesses of my mind, but that’s another story (one I’m most likely making up).

Still, either way, I suppose I’m not coming across as a particularly stable fellow....
