Here's a great personality test that I absolutely love. Four objects:

Slinky
Paper clip
Magnifying glass
Teddy bear

Pick one. I'll tell you what they mean in a later post. PLEASE POST WHAT YOU PICKED!

I just read Twilight... Do you think Mother will mind if I marry a vampire? ATTENTION ALL TWILIGHT FANS!!! Go listen to the Mitch Hadsen Band! All the lyrics are based on Twilight! And also, talk to me if you want to discuss Breaking Dawn!

Once enough people talk that you can't see the last post right away, I'll post what it means. Again just pick the first one that comes to mind! Don't think too hard about this!

Okay, you can't see the last post now. Here's what it means:

If you are a SLINKY, you are very creative. You are good at thinking "outside the box", but you hate memorizing facts. You are usually good at creative writing and essay tests.

If you are a PAPER CLIP, you like data. You are very good at history tests that involve knowing dates and other facts, but when told to "just use your imagination", you freak out a bit.

If you are a MAGNIFYING GLASS, you ask a lot of questions. You're never satisfied until you know WHY. As a child, you probably followed your mom, dad, older sibling, aunt, uncle, babysitter, grandparent, and/or teacher around asking endless questions like "Why is the sky blue?" "Why do dogs bark and cats meow, instead of the other way around?" etc.

If you are a TEDDY BEAR, you like working with people. When in class, your teacher probably yells/yelled at you for constantly talking. You are always the first one to volunteer to write on the blackboard, and you work best when in a group.

Confused? Here's a better example:

There are four people in a room, a SLINKY, a PAPER CLIP, a MAGNIFYING GLASS, and a TEDDY BEAR. A fifth person walks into a room with an apple. Here's what the other four might be thinking:

Look at it! It looks like Mars, and all the little craters, and Oh My Gosh Apple Pie!
It's red. It's round. It's an apple. Ok.
Why does she have an apple? What are we going to do with the apple? Do I need an apple too?
Ooh Ooh pick me! I want to help! Can we work in partners? Are we going to share the apple?

Personally, I'm a slinky...though a little bit paper clip too. It is kinda possible to be a little bit of a couple of them, I think.

First Magnifying glass, and I very much agree with what it says. Very interesting, thanks.

I chose slinky. It was a debate between teddy bear and slinky, but then I thought about all the different things I could do with a slinky, whereas a teddy bear wouldn't entertain me for very long. I think I made the right choice for my personality

That was really fun, thanks nerdyiscool!

I picked magnifying glass, and I guess I'm a cross between the magnifying glass and the slinky.

I picked it cuz it never gets old. I mean, you push a slinky down the stairs a few times, and then it gets tangled and you throw it away. The paper clip, you bend it awhile, make cool little shapes, and then it breaks and you throw it away. The teddy bear, it's cute and soft, you hug it a few times and then set it aside to look at tomorrow.

But a magnifying glass willl last forever. You can look at everything, ranging from your computer to your open wound, lol. And then you can burn stuff. And trust me, THAT takes a loooong time to get boring.

I am a mix of magnifying glass and slinky, and a little bit of teddy bear. I despise paper clips.

They are not of peace. When you begin to feel most safe, be at your most alert.

I chosed magnifying glass but only because it reminds me on prism and the dance of light and colours

But I do ask a lot of questions, great topic

I couldn't decide between the paper clip and the magnifying class... but both seem pretty reflective of my personality.

Interesting and creative topic, nerdyiscool!
