Political Test: I’m not a Libertarian?
June 29th, 2008 by erb
Hmm. OKCupid Politics test. I scored as … a Democrat (yuck, a Dirty Word). Have I been straying, and getting soft in my old age? Or is this just simply the limitations of a 50-question test that cannot handle the admitted contradictions of someone who walks around advertising himself as a “Socialist Libertarian?” I think the latter, personally. After all, look at the graph: Where are Democrats? Why, right between the political spectrum of Socialists and Libertarians! Makes sense to me.
Social Liberal
(73% permissive)
and an…
Economic Liberal
(33% permissive)
You are best described as a: Democrat
You exhibit a very well-developed sense of Right and Wrong and believe in economic fairness.

I can’t stop these tests! My Girl: Brooding Poet
June 28th, 2008 by erb
Yeah, I buy this. Note Brooding Poet is right next door to Goth Girl. And diagonally adjacent (√2?) to both Suicide Girl and Bettie Page Girl. Nice.
Interesting test… I thought it was going to be bullshit, while I was taking it.
Your result for The Your Type of Girl Test …
The Brooding Poet
(45% Sexy-Cute, 23% Dark-Light, 38% Artsy-Stylish)
Sexy, Dark, but neither Arsty nor Stylish, the Brooding Poet has her lips constantly pursed in an infinitely kissable pout. She would dress up, maybe, but why bother? Is not life simply an empty voyage through a desolate, cold world?
Commonly Confused Words Test
June 28th, 2008 by erb
Hot Damn! My anal they’re/their/there obsession has a practical use! Luckily, capitalization was not on the menu… as anyone used to my e.e.cummings emails will appreciate.
Mighty interesting how my good scores are skewed towards the harder questions, though…
- For “Beginner” questions: I scored 93%, only higher than 12%
- Umm: How can I score 100% on Itermedaite, and only be higher than 17%? Oh, that’s right, this is a Confused Words (English) test, not an Math test!!!
Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test …
English Genius
(93% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, 93% Expert)
You did so extremely well, even I can’t find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don’t. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you’re not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!
Yet Another Stupid Quiz: Personality Defect Test
June 28th, 2008 by erb
The Personality Defect Test by Saint_Gasoline …
Haughty Intellectual
(86% Rational, 14% Extroverted, 43% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant)
You are the Haughty Intellectual. You are a very rational person, emphasizing logic over emotion, and you are also rather arrogant and self-aggrandizing. You probably think of yourself as an intellectual, and you would like everyone to know it. Not only that, but you also tend to look down on others, thinking yourself better than them. You could possibly have an unhealthy obsession with yourself as well, thus causing everyone to hate you for being such an elitist twat. On top of all that, you are also introverted and gentle. This means that you are just a quiet thinker who wants fame and recognition, in all likelihood. Like so many countless pseudo-intellectuals swarming around vacuous internet forums to discuss worthless political issues, your kind is a scourge upon humanity, blathering and blathering on and on about all kinds of boring crap. If your personality could be sculpted, the resulting piece would be Rodin’s “The Thinker”–although I am absolutely positive that you are not nearly as muscular or naked as that statue. Rather lacking in emotion, introspective, gentle, and arrogant, you are most certainly a Haughty Intellectual! And, most likely, you will never achieve the recognition or fame you so desire! But no worries!
The 3 Variable Funny Test
June 26th, 2008 by erb
Overall, these numbers seem pretty accurate to me:
The 3 Variable Funny Test by jason_bateman …
The Wit
(57% dark, 23% spontaneous, 32% vulgar)
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer.
Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it’s also the best, in my opinion.
You probably loved the Office. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.
