Blog Things

You Are 31 Years Old



31





Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.




Took this short quiz and was rather surprised by the result, it wasn't exactly what I'd expected. But then again, I guess there were no entries containing the words 'skeptical' or 'insane' :) Not that I believe or trust most of these quizes anyway... saw this one on a friend's blog and decided to give it a try for fun.

The quizzes are so popular that there are several websites which specially contain hundreds of different quizzes on all facets of life. Blog things... some (silly?) quizes you take, in an attempt to better understand yourself or to determine your identity? Most people take these quizzes for fun, while some friends actually use these tests to define themselves. Yet, one's personality is such a fluid entity, that you should never limit yourself to one mindset or perception of yourself. Peoples' responses to different situations would often differ. You may smile politely at someone who irritates you one day, yet snap and retaliate at the same person on another occasion. So would you consider yourself to be tolerant, or would you not?

I'll still have fun trying out most of these tests, and laughing at the results (Me? A taste of success and true love? Ha... :) But hey, remember, these things should be taken with a pinch of salt, and you should never place yourself (or others) in a box simply because they were 'classified' as one out of four particular personality types. One's personality would never be based on the outcome of these quizzes alone.

Hmm... I seem to have taken the fun out of trying these things, huh? Maybe I'll search for a personality quiz on the web to determine if I'm really a wet blanket or not :)

Example : Are you a wet blanket? :)

(P.S. : It's not a real link... :)
