Facebook Quizzes, Why do I take them??
So a friend just challenged me to take Dr. Phil’s personality test. And I did. My roommates in college were all addicted to personality tests, so nostalgia is partly why I keep returning to them. Here were my results:
“Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not one to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who’ll always cheer them up and help them out.”
I certainly hope alot of those things are true, but “someone who’s constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not one to let it go to their head”? Me? I don’t think so. That’s Dr. Phil’s canned assessment of my “entering a party quietly and looking for someone I know.” Are such Facebook quizzes just self-congratulatory or our attempt to get encouragement? (Because who is honestly going to make a quiz with results that tell you you’re insecure and boring?)
Hi Friends!
On this first day of my owning a little piece of the web, I would like to thank you for visiting. My goals for this outlet are what I would assume any blogger’s goals are: to share, question, enlighten, challenge, meet interesting people, and do whatever else I feel like doing. Hooray!
¡Viva la Internet!
