Friendly and fun-loving, you can charm strangers and acquaintances alike with your easygoing ways. You’re a hit at parties, whether you’re entertaining a crowd with witty stories or having an intimate conversation in the corner. And then there’s that dance floor you’re not afraid to tear up. Sound exhilarating? You are!
I was torn on a couple of the answers, that’s why I have two signs. I must say, they are both very similar to me. I’m actually a Libra, so Virgo isn’t too far off.
You Should Be A Virgo |
|
What’s bad about you: you are an insane perfectionist and easily find faults in others In love: you are obsessed with making your partner happy In friendship, you’re: helpful and giving - eager to be a true friend Your ideal job: poet, flight attendant, or natural healer Your sense of fashion: casual, upscale, revealing, conservative - you look good in all of it You like to pig out on: a well prepared five course meal |
——————————————————————————————————————-
You Should Be A Sagittarius |
|
What’s bad about you: you don’t think before speaking - and you often regret it! In love: you’re flirtatiously playful, but you never play games In friendship, you’re: the one who keeps everyone laughing Your ideal job: fortune teller, philosopher, or athlete Your sense of fashion: your own mix of vintage and new pieces You like to pig out on: anything you haven’t tried before |
What Drives You?
My Result: Connection
People driven by Connection are most fulfilled when interacting with others. They connect to the world through their connections with people. For this reason, they thrive on social attention and are apt to join groups and organizations, either formal or informal. They are fun-loving and someone people think of as caring because it’s worth it to them to maintain their relationships. Their social nature drives them to seek intimacy. It is exactly this desire to meet people at a deeper level that also can make them more vulnerable than others when they are rejected or embarrassed by something.
Apparently I’m in a “personality test-taking” mood today. I guess it helps me avoid things that I should be doing (i.e. work.) I think I may be slightly addicted to doing them, but the results are always so true for me!
The Karma Test
My Result: caring nature
People with a caring nature have an uncanny ability to anticipate and meet the needs of others around them. This nurturing quality has helped them earn their karma up to this point. Their thoughtfulness strengthens their current relationships and suggests that such kindnesses will be repaid to them some time in the future. Through their concerted efforts to express how much they care, they generate good karma for themselves and the universe.

American Cities That Best Fit You: |
|
65% Chicago 60% Atlanta 60% Los Angeles 60% New York City |
You Are a Yellow Crayon |
|

While you seem spontaneous and free wheeling, you are calculating to the extreme. Your color wheel opposite is purple. You both are charismatic leaders, but purple people act like you have no depth. |
Tickle’s Original Inkblot Test
My Result: Self-protection
You are emotionally reserved and private. You typically keep your cool during arguments and rarely reveal personal information that you later regret.
On the surface, you appear very serene. Inside however, you may sometimes feel detached or disconnected from the world around you. The upside of this is that you are not the sort of person to easily lose your temper. You think about things rationally rather than get swept up in emotions. You also remain calm in the toughest of situations.
Your psyche is very unique; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.
What Car Matches Your Personality?
My Result: Urban Action
We can almost see you, sauntering down the street with your ultra-cool shades and stopping at that car everyone’s been eyeing. You probably love the city slicker, high-rolling lifestyle. Whether you’re going out on the town for the night or cruising into your local coffee shop for some morning fuel, you’ve got a style that people notice.
Your four-wheeled friend should definitely mesh with your urban image. Maybe you’re into long drives down the coast with the top down and the wind blowing through your perfectly coiffed hair. Then again, maybe you’d rather just be seen driving around town in a sleek new Lexus or BMW.
Finding the perfect complement to your personality might be easier than you’d think. And what better way to add a little more action to your urban aspirations?
You’ve got a lust for life and a rich imagination that just can’t survive without a little music, art, and creativity! Whether you’re heading out to hear a band, watch a play, attend an art exhibit, or just flipping through books or cds in your room, you get inspired by, well, the inspiration of others!
It’s clear that you’re curious about the world around you, and that you satisfy your thirst for new experiences by staying open to all sorts of interesting, new ideas and creative story lines. You, more than others, believe that life really does imitate art. So you might as well make it a masterpiece wherever you go.
What Flavor Fits You?
My Result: Sunny Orange
Your sunny disposition and happy-go-lucky attitude are the kinds of traits everyone loves to have around. Our bet is you’re known as the chief supporter in your clan. If there’s a bash to throw, you’re likely the first one on the horn. If there’s a crisis at hand, you can usually be counted on to rally the troops. Easy to talk to and fun to be around, you have a gift for blending perfectly no matter what the situation.
This positive energy extends beyond good times into every other aspect of your life. Whatever your career path or goals, your natural ability to win people over and communicate ideas with enthusiasm are two key secrets to your success. The same glass-half-full attitude that makes you a fab friend will work its magic in the workplace. And in the world of business, those kinds of good vibes are always refreshing.
What’s Your Must-See European City?
My Result: Barcelona
Warm and friendly, you’ll have no problem settling into the lovely city also known as The Great Enchantress. You’re a laidback and fun-loving person who likes meeting new people and making new friends. Like your European counterpart, you ooze charm and make any occasion more interesting.
Whether you’re basking on the beach, checking out Gaudi’s work, or eating tapas and dancing ’til dawn, you’ll have a blast in a city that’s as playful, fun, and vibrant as you are. So bring your appetite for good food and great times. You’ll be sure to find plenty of both in your must-see European city. Now that’s caliente!

The Part of You That No One Sees |

I took The Identity Test last night (out of boredom) and I’d have to say this is pretty darn accurate in it’s description of me…
Extraversion High
Openness To Experience
Your high score in the Openness category means that you probably have a strong creative streak. Your broad intellectual curiosity and your interest in the various arts set you apart. Some people may consider you somewhat of a dreamer, and your taste for variety often means moving quickly on to the next experience. This tendency makes you appear a bit flighty and inconsistent. But these elements of your personality simply reflect a character full of new ideas and charged with emotions.
Conscientiousness
Your medium score in the Conscientiousness category means that you have achieved a solid balance in your outlook towards responsibility. You are probably somewhat organized, with a little room for improvement. Your priorities probably reflect a mix of work and play. Thoughtfulness characterizes your thinking style, so you give gravity to important decisions without making a big deal out of minor issues. You are probably serious about achieving success, but do not feel completely driven by this motivation. All in all, you’ve got a very healthy perspective on work and duty.
Extraversion
Your high score in the Extraversion category defines your social identity. You probably feel very comfortable with a large number of people, and enjoy spending your time with them. In fact, chances are that you’d prefer to be among people than by yourself. Isolation can feel like punishment. Your vigorous and active style of interaction makes you an excellent leader. Equally, you can be a very warm friend. You probably are someone who enjoys excitement and looks for thrills where you can find them. Your cheerful exuberance means that you are probably quite popular in your social circle.
Agreeableness
The Agreeableness category refers to your social disposition. Your high score indicates your tendency to forego your own desires for the sake of others - sometimes to a fault. You are probably known as a kind and modest person who is willing to overlook your own needs for the interest of the group. You believe in creating harmony among people, to the point where you can sometimes act a bit dependent. With your straightforward style of communication and your sentimental nature, this isn’t hard for you. You tend to see the world by the light you cast - as honest and genuine.
Negative Emotionality
Negative Emotionality refers to your emotional reactivity. Your medium score means that you’re someone who negotiates your emotions depending on your situation. Sometimes you may feel quite sensitive and emotional, while other times you may remain resilient to outside pressures. This quality of adaptation best describes your emotional character. You maintain a rational outlook, which is moderated by feelings. For example, you can sometimes feel sad, stressed, worried or embarrassed under the weight of a situation, but you are able to act quite calm and reserved, without yielding to the stress. Responsive, without being overly reactive, is the best way to describe you.

 You are:
|
Rather than worrying about pleasing someone who may be impossible to please, stay focused on your own desires and needs.
I think it’s a sign that I’m FINALLY going in the right direction: “You have a lot on your mind and feel a strong need to communicate and gather ideas. Experience everything that happens to its fullest, and fill your mind with new and exciting ideas. this is a day of learning, and a day of experience. The growth you achieve today will help you in the future.”
