Is it better to over use commas? Or is it better to under use them?

Is it wrong to use google as a spellcheck program?

I like the way google pretends that you know what you're doing. They're all like, "excuse me, did you mean ?" As if you have merely made a typo or something. So you click on the correct spelling and say to yourself, "why yes, I knew that, I was just checking to see if you knew, google."

Your Score: Robot


You are 71% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant.



You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. You are not like the robots they show in the movies. Movie robots are make-believe, because they always get all personable and likeable after being struck by lightning, or they are cold, cruel killing machines. In all reality, though, you are much more boring than all that. Real robots just sit there, doing their stupid jobs, and doing little else. If you get struck by lightning, you won't develop a winning personality and heart of gold. (Robots don't have hearts, silly, and if they did, they would probably be made of steel, not gold.) You also won't be likely to terrorize humanity by becoming an ultra-violent killing machine sent into the past to kill the mother of a child who will lead a rebellion against machines, because that movie was dumb as hell, and because real robots don't kill--they horribly maim at best, and they don't even do that on purpose. Real robots are boringly kind and all too rarely try to kill people. In all my years, my laptop has only attacked me once, and that was only because my brother threw it at me. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit. Or if someone throws a pie at you. Pies sure are delicious.


To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.


Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Class Clown.

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Emo Kid, and the Haughty Intellectual.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

Be sure to take my Sublime Philosophical Crap Test if you are interested in taking a slightly more intellectual test that has just as many insane ramblings as this one does!

About Saint_Gasoline


I am a self-proclaimed pseudo-intellectual who loves dashes. I enjoy science, philosophy, and fart jokes and water balloons, not necessarily in that order. I spend 95% of my time online, and the other 5% of my time in the bathroom, longing to get back on the computer. If, God forbid, you somehow find me amusing instead of crass and annoying, be sure to check out my blog and my webcomic at SaintGasoline.com.

Snagged from [info]thenightsfall. Yay! I got my fave Carole Lombard, without even trying.


Your Score: Carole Lombard


You scored 19% grit, 19% wit, 42% flair, and 30% class!



You're a little bit of a fruitcake, but you always act out in style. You have a good sense of humor, are game for almost anything, but you like to have nice things about you and are attracted to the high life. You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable. Watch out for small planes.

Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.

1. From Survivor Fiji I learned that "askew" is a "big word".

2. From former Survivor contestant and current View host Elizabeth Hasslebeck I discovered that "desperacy" is a word. (I do not think that "word" means what you think it means, Elizabeth.)

3. Donald Trump is an idiot. Although honestly I knew that before I had ever seen The Apprentice. Also the Donald is extremely fired. Not even Ivanka could save him. Ha! Serves him right for not hiring the shouty man from Seattle.

4. From Rome I learned that just because the first season of a television show is gripping and fascinating, it does not necessarily follow that the second season will not suck tremendously.

5. From Lost I learned that Zzzzzzz.....

Huh? Wait. Where was I now?

Oh yeah, I was talking about the year in television.

6. 24 taught me that Alexander Siddig is awesome. I have therefore come to the conclusion that maybe Julian Bashir was not a total girlie loser.

7. From Torchwood I learned that there are lots of things you can do with a stopwatch.

8. Doctor Who made me figure out how to download stuff from the internet and burn it to DVD. This is a most useful skill. I wish I had learned it sooner.

9. Melinda wuzrobbed! Sanjaya wuzrobbed! on American Idol.

10. John Stamos is not a very good kisser in spite of the fact that Simon Tam is quite the fetching lad.

Okay wait. There should be at least eleven. Eleven things I learned from watching TV this year. Because how could I not mention The Wire (best damn drama on the TV) or Heroeos (best damn SQUEE! on the TV) or even Dexter (best damn serial killing sociopath on the TV)? Ah well....

I watched a really dumb movie last night on A&E called Wedding Wars and I am embarrassed to report that I enjoyed the hell out of it. Only mostly because John "My claim to fame is Full House or maybe Blackie from General Hospital" Stamos was in a big gay relationship with Simon "My real name is Sean Maher and I'm really hot" Tam.

It's like, John Stamos is totally NOT in Simon Tam's league. It was so unbelievable it made me laugh especially since the movie featured one of the most awkward gay kisses ever on TV between Stamos and Simon. And it wasn't Simon's fault. He wanted to be into it while Blackie looked wooden and terrified or like he was being forced to kiss something really gross like a box of slimy worms or a decaying corpse.

Dude! It is Simon Tam. He is really hot and besides it's called ACTING. Oh yeah, I forgot John Stamos.... not exactly known for his great acting chops. Nevermind.

Anyway, Simon Tam aka Sean Maher is more adorable than a bunch of puppies cavorting under a rainbow with toddlers and balloons so the movie wasn't a total loss. And the Anderson Cooper joke was funny. I didn't give a crap about the straight brother (apparently "Dr. McSteamy" from Grey's Anatomy- I don't watch any show set in a hospital so I wouldn't know) and his fiance. Their story was an especially sleepy trip to snoozeville.

The Anderson Cooper joke, in case anyone cares:
Simon Tam speaking to John Stamos, his life partner: "You're not political. You don't even watch the news." (Stamos tries to deny the allegation, but Simon cuts him off) "Anderson Cooper does not count!"

Hee. That was a funny line. The movie should have been all about Simon Tam's character. But I guess it couldn't have been called Wedding Wars then.
