Since I’ve done one of these quizzy things, and seeing as I’ve been fairly quiet recently what better way to blog without really blogging than to post a quiz-thing?

From the Beeb’s what am I like quiz:
Your answers suggest you are an Idealist

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Spontaneous, Ideas, Hearts and Introvert

Summary of Idealists

* Make sense of the world using inner values
* Focus on personal growth and the growth of others
* Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious
* May sometimes appear stubborn^[1]

More about Idealists

Idealists put time and energy into developing personal values^[2] that they use as a guide through life. They may seek fulfilment by helping others improve themselves and often want to make the world a better place. Idealists only^[3] share their inner values with people they respect.

Idealists are the most likely group to say they are vegetarian^[4] according to a UK survey.

Idealists enjoy discussions about a wide range of topics, particularly those that deal with the future. They are typically easy-going^[5] and flexible, but if their values are challenged they may refuse to compromise^[6]

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Idealists may have trouble expressing themselves and withdraw. Under extreme stress^[7] Idealists may become very critical of others, or lose confidence in their own ability to cope.

Recognition for their work is important to Idealists; however, they are also good at spotting false praise.
Idealist Careers
Idealists are often drawn to jobs where they can help people reach their potential. They are also attracted to careers that allow artistic creativity.

to all you Americans and associates. And Happy Thursday to the rest of you.

I’m off to Sligo in a few hours. I could have got the earlier train, but probably needed those few hours to recover from last night and our ever so exciting Pub Quiz. We got a great turn out, which was great, and I think everyone had a great time. Of course once the quiz was over the fun didn’t end. We headed off to 80s night in the Porterhouse. Rock on Bon Jovi, rock on!

The end of the night was not quite so great, but we’ll ignore that and focus on the fun that was had. Yeah for binge drinking^[1] and liver damage^[2]

So anyway, I’m away off for the weekend, and a nice long one it’ll be^[3] before I return to work on Monday^[4] so I may not be online, braitheann sé on whether or not I can be arsed.

I must be in the mood for quiz things, cause I just couldn’t resist this one:

Your Score: Katharine Hepburn

You scored 16% grit, 47% wit, 38% flair, and 9% class!

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

And of course then I had to do the leading man quiz too:

Your Score: John Wayne

You scored 59% Tough, 4% Roguish, 28% Friendly, and 9% Charming!

You, my friend, are a man’s man, the original true grit, one tough talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You’re not a bad guy, on the contrary, you’re the ultimate good guy, but you’re one tough character, rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms, that’s just fine by you. Otherwise, you’ll just hit the open trail and stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You’re not polished and you’re not overly warm, but you’re a straight shooter and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen O’Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves.

Coincidentally I just watched a John Wayne film, The Undefeated. And I’ve come to the conclusion that I just don’t watch enough westerns, TG4 here I come

Carl kindly let me know that this site is acting up for him. At work and at home, so that means two separate computers. So is anyone else having problems?

Course, if you are having the same problem as Carl you may not see this, as it shuts his browser down. I’m not having this issue with any of the computers I’ve tested the site on.
