Wine and me - or me and wine?

You Are Chardonnay

Fresh, spirited, and classic - you have many facets to your personality. You can be sweet and light. Or deep and complex. You have a little bit of something to offer everyone... no wonder you're so popular. Approachable and never smug, you are easy to get to know (and love!). Deep down you are: Dependable and modest Your partying style: Understated and polite Your company is enjoyed best with: Cold or wild meat

What Kind of Wine Are You?

As usual, I saw one of these quizzes at azahar's - wasn't too keen on that one, so I looked down the list of options. No - I didn't quite test which kind of lipstick to wear or whether I'm a fake girl ;)

But as I do like a glass of wine, this one seemed interesting. I'm not too unpleased - though for whites I do prefer a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

(For reds, if anyone should want to know - hmmm, many options. But a good Primitivo is always a nice one. Given food or occasions with a little more uumph, Barolo, Amarone - or for something not Italian, a good Bourgogne. And then I haven't even started on the rest of the world. >>hic<<)

I think that's quite OK :)

Your English Skills:

Grammar: 80% Punctuation: 80% Spelling: 80% Vocabulary: 20%

Does Your English Cut the Mustard?

As usual, a quiz I found by way of azahar.

I'd admit that I did some guessing on the words - neither of which I'd ever seen before (and I'm rather calm about them as I don't think I will see them again...). The 80% in the three other categories I am quite content with, Dane and non-original English speaking as I am :)

8 random things about me

Reed apparently has found me to be tagged - I have been a little too busy enjoying Rome with the family to notice. Sorry.

And after reading Aphra's as well as The Singing Librarian's and the good FtMDoctor's, here goes:

1. I am an only child.
   You choose whether my dear parents gave up because they possibly couldn't repeat the good work or because they got scared ;) Clue: An Aunt said when she first laid eyes on me "Oh poor little you, you look like your father!"
2. I only have one mobile phone.
   On the other hand, it's used very much!
3. Both backpacks I have for hiking are red.
   I actually haven't used the newest one, bought in Argentina for a very decent price, yet. Look forward to doing so this summer!
4. I drive a French car.
5. The walls of our house are decorated with all sorts of things - from Corto Maltese and Moebius (the cartoon/Bande Dessinée one) drawings over Vaserely and own photos to Korean masks, Dutch porcelain and Australian boomerangs.
   There is still space left. Or so the Mrs say...
6. I've been to all continents apart from Antartica.
   Mostly on business trips, sadly, so I surely have not seen what's worth seeing. But I do do what I can to get some good impressions, sights and smells wherever I go. Honestly!
7. I like almost all food - major exception is chewy-bwadr things like squid, mussels, snails and the like. Mostly due to the texture.
8. I like wearing a hat - but don't do it quite as mush as I would. Go figure.
   One reason is that my beloved Stetson felt hat is too warm for summer use, even in Denmark. And I haven't found a summer-compatible hat I like yet.

And I seem to have run out of tagging possibilities. Must go and persuade friends to start blogging, I think ;)

Quick and dirty IQ

I like the term "dirty IQ" ;)

Anyway:

Your IQ Is 120

Your Logical Intelligence is Below Average Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius Your Mathematical Intelligence is Exceptional Your General Knowledge is Above Average

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test

I'm a little disappointed by my logical score. But hey - it's Monday morning and one that started by me having to do the spare tyre exercise...

I'm rather disappointed that I couldn't see my answers vs the right ones, though. Would make getting an Einstein good score on 2nd attempt a little easy, perhaps.

(as usual, I picked this up at az's)

Me expressed in 5 factors

Your Five Factor Personality Profile

Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time." Conscientiousness: You have low conscientiousness. Impulsive and off the wall, you don't take life too seriously. Unfortunately, you sometimes end up regretting your snap decisions. Overall, you tend to lack focus, and it's difficult for you to get important things done. Agreeableness: You have high agreeableness. You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly. Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone. You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance. Neuroticism: You have low neuroticism. You are very emotionally stable and mentally together. Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly. Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is high. In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits. A great connoisseir of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything.

The Five Factor Personality Test

My evaluation of this would be -

• A few things are a good part of the way off
• A lot of it is reasonably close
• A few things are uncomfortably close to probably being very true

I'll leave the deciphering up to you, dear reader.

Am I surprised?

One more of these wee funny things that az always seem to dig up (yep, I know the site, so I could go look, too - but wouldn't that be cheating? ;)

You Are 55% Normal

While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

How Normal Are You?

I initially thought I was surprised - I'll leave it to you to figure out if the surprise was due to a hig or a low normality ;)

Reflecting, I'd like to have seen the individual points scored - where, in this list, do I qualify as reasonably normal and where as an internet weirdo of the kind your mother warned you about? And how many of the normalities or weirdnesses could be due to "simple" cultural differences - such as being a Dane rather than, say, American?

Hmmm...
