OK. Now That was Fun. I don't really believe in all these quizzes, for the simple reason that there are way too many people and too few categories. And if all people only belonged to the personality types defined by those categories, I would have scores of clones running about. For example, I found that this Blogthing has only 31 categories of people defined. So people born on 12 April and 12 January are supposed to have the same personalities. Well, I know two people born on these dates, and their personas are poles apart!

So if I don't believe in them, why did I take so many quizzes and why did I bother to put all of them up on my blog at all? Simply because I like what they say about me, and they say exactly what I like to hear about myself at this moment! The people who make these quizzes know that deep down, everyone is a narcissist. And so, every personality type description is highly generalized, but so glowing that you just wanna believe that it's true. Well it is, partly, but then we only remember those parts that we know are true or that we like!

So now that I've got that out of my system, found a perfectly logical reason for spending 1.5 hrs in taking 'personality' quizzes, pampered myself with a 'healthy' round of totally (un)deserved flattery(and enjoyed it thoroughly!), I think it's time I got back to studies. 3 totally killer exams coming up!!

Well written ..the in depth analysis about you really makes me take this quiz too ..However I think whatever has been predicted about you is true to a great extent. You are a werewolf..a daring personality....a gud human being..and much more which any word ..any article can describe ..zumelh
