How addicted are you to Blogthings?




You Are 55% Addicted to Blogthings



You're a Blogthings fiend - addicted but not totally dependent.

So what if you know your personality type by heart?

And while you may feel like Blogthings is crack...

There are people much worse off than you!




Not much to say about this, really. It doesn't really say much about me....

What is your religious philosophy?




You are a Self-Discoverer



You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.

Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.

You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.

You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans.




This is...pretty much exactly right!! My mom's in seminary now, but isn't too hard core. My boyfriend is questioning his religion. I feel pretty good about my religious views. I guess I'd consider myself to be a Christian, with a perhaps a little mysticism thrown in. I don't believe in organized religion, really, though. I hate people who just blindly follow religious leaders. People should think for themselves. This likely has to do with the fact that I essentially hate every official at my church- the self-centered pastor, the associate pastor who told someone his wife died of cancer because the man made a mistake and apparently didn't pray hard enough, the youth pastor who told my sister Muslims and Jews would go to hell and that she had the devil in her because she dared to question something. This result pretty much sums me up!

What is your hidden talent?




Your Hidden Talent is Understanding People



Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people.

You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together.

Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.

People crave your praise and complements.




Let me start this off by saying I really don't think I have any talents whatsoever. I'm not a great speaker, artist, singer, actress, athlete, et c. I just do what I can and hope to get by.
In regards to this quiz- well, I'm not a great people person. It takes me forever to open up to people, and even then I sometimes feel quite awkward. I do try to play the peacemaker, but that doesn't always go well. I also do try to make other people feel better about themselves and their work, but that's often because I'm somewhat controlling and so when I see a coworker do something the way I like it done, I want to praise them so that they'll do it again.

What's Your Power Color?




Your Power Color Is Indigo



At Your Highest:



You are on a fast track to success - and others believe in you.



At Your Lowest:



You require a lot of attention and praise.



In Love:



You see people as how you want them to be, not as how they are.



How You're Attractive:



Your dramatic flair makes others see you as mysterious and romantic.



Your Eternal Question:



"Does This Work Into My Future Plans?"




Oooooh! A quiz with many little segments to it! This should be fun to analyze!
At my highest: That appears to be correct. My boyfriend thinks I'll be a fantastic lawyer one day. My parents have always had high expectations that I've since placed on myself. So, yes, at my best I feel like I can do anything.
At my lowest: I can be so needy, especially when I'm down. I need to feel like I'm doing something well, and I need someone to tell me that I am. My boyfriend is now usually the source of this praise.
In love: This one could be a little off. I think I see my boyfriend as he is, not as how I'd necessarily like him to be. He's wonderful, but not perfect. He's hot headed and gets frustrated easily. He's too self-critical. He's hyper and sometimes too childlike. But I love him.
How I'm attractive: Well, I can be over-dramatic, but not until I get to know someone. My boyfriend thought I was sort of mysterious before we met, but that was because I don't talk much until I really get to know someone. Add to that the fact that I'm attractive to that someone and don't want to act like a fool, and I'll be even less talkative. But I don't find myself to be some mysterious dramatic figure. I'm just quiet. I think it makes me appear snotty, which I swear I am not!
Eternal Question: I am thinking of my future quiet a bit. I always have, really. My thoughts have changed quite a bit recently. I used to think I'd always be alone, but having a sweet, amazing boyfriend has thrown everything for a loop!! I'm actually thinking about having a family and kids and how that could work in a timeline. I'm only 22 and sometimes I feel like my biological clock is just ticking away. I want a career and a family, so I spend a lot of time trying to figure out things- what I want exactly in my future, and how what I'm doing now will affect that future.

What language should you learn?




You Should Learn Swedish



Fantastisk! You're laid back about learning a language - and about life in general.

Peaceful, beautiful Sweden is ideal for you... And you won't even have to speak perfect Swedish to get around!




Swedish is never a language I thought of learning. I don't have family ties in Sweden and, in all honesty, it's a country I know relatively little about. I'm not entirely that laid back, either. I put on the appearance of being calm, but my brain is always going at a hundred miles an hour, thinking of everything I need to get done.
It is an interesting result, though. Not at all what I expected!

Intro

Hi! I'm Ashley. I'm a college senior studying politics. My goal for 2011 is to, well, make myself better. One important aspect of that is self reflection and thinking about who I am. I decided to try working on this by writing about the answers I get on online quizzes- Blogthings first. I thought it's be fun and a little different. I'm writing this for myself, but if you think it's interesting feel free to do the same thing on your own. Thanks for visiting!
