    Maybe that signature with Grover (that's him, isn't it?) doesn't do the calm impression you should give much good.


    My Chinese zodiac sign is a dog... Extremely faithful, loyal and sticks to you like bubble gum. Maybe I am like bulldog or something, because once I put my teeth into my hubby, he couldn't shake me off even if he had wanted to .

    this has no scientific basis like the eysenck test and is just for fun so beware!

    they just don't think I'm funny, I am a very funny person! and people even laugh sometimes, when they get it, but that is not my fault.

    A little Kingfisher suggested I take the test.
    My results:


    Extroversion (sociability) 52%
    Neuroticism (emotionality) 36%
    Psychoticism (rebelliousness) 31%

    Extroversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting.
    Neuroticism results were moderately low which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
    Psychoticism results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense of your own individual development (martyr complex).

    Ha! That test was funny. My results were:

    Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||| 33%
    Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||| 37%
    Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||||||||| 50%

    This test reflects the ideas of Hans Eysenck a pioneer in the field of personality research. Through research and statistical analysis he determined that personality is composed of three main elements: Extroversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism. Most current researchers agree on the significance of the first two traits, but there is less consensus on the third (so he may be wrong about it's central importance but it clearly plays some role in personality). Most people will score lower on Psychoticism. While Psychoticism implies more negative qualities than the other two traits (typically), a link has been found is several studies between higher creativity and higher scores on Psychoticism.

    Here are your results on each dimension:

    Extroversion results were moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

    Neuroticism results were moderately low which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

    Psychoticism results were medium medium which suggests you are moderately self interested, willful, and difficult, while still respecting the well being of others.

    I love the idea of being half-way psychotic

    It's all nonsense. There is no measurement of personality or intelligence or any of that. People know this. I'm not sure what has been tried, but these test things are silly. I cannot put you in a box.

    So, never mind the experts. They still do not know a thing. This crap is way too hard. Nobody knows.

    I like it that way.

    It's Ophiuchus, which in Greek means "the serpent-bearer." Anyway, I would say you are still a Sagittarius according to an article I've read. It says that although the constellation belongs to the zodiac, the twelve-fold division into signs remains as it's always been because each sign spans 30° of celestial longitude, which is approximately the distance the Sun travels in a month. Therefore, this mathematical division will always be the same, since math will always be the same math whenever you need to divide a cake into equal slices. This article states that the constellation of Ophiuchus occupies most of the sign of Sagittarius.

    I once read that tigers, according to the Chinese horoscope, are prone to war/warlike activities, and therefore feel a passion for weapons and such. Being a tiger, I'm not really feeling the urge to wage a war right now, though there are several weapons that have been calling my attention for ages. Perhaps being a Libra on "the other side of mysticism" has made me more "balanced." Now, if you really are a bellicose sort of person, then your chances to die a martyr are reasonably high regardless of horoscopes and personality tests :

    I was born in the year of the tiger, a seemingly warlike fellow, and I'm not ripping people's throats in public either. All these astrology mumbo jumbo is very much what it is... mumbo jumbo... but dang! It feels dead awesome to be born ferocious!
    Each person shapes their character on their own, though I might change my mind if one day a constellation provides an account of what she's done for me

    Extroversion (sociability) |||||||||| 35%
    Neuroticism (emotionality) |||||||||||||| 52%
    Psychoticism (rebelliousness) |||||| 23%


    My results on each dimension:
    Extroversion results were moderately low which suggests you are reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and private.

    Neuroticism results were medium which suggests you are moderately worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

    Psychoticism results were low which suggests you are overly kind natured, trusting, and helpful at the expense too often of your own individual development (martyr complex).



    According to my own findings about myself, the above feels pretty accurate. I always wanted to die a martyr... one day a park or street would be named after me and that is totally wonderful!

    I'm relieved that I can still consider myself a Sagittarius. I always thought it was a nice constellation.

    Yeah, as a tiger myself, I know one has to keep that under control.
