I did it and got one hundred percent on all the abjectives that fitted you, my wonderful friend and Rider.

Not so sure about how I come out though.

Since you haven't posted a similar page for yourself, I'll tell you my choices here:

You are confident, independent, knowledgable, loving, warm and witty.

*complains there's no 'enigmatic' nor 'mysterious' :p*

I think I've let an awful lot of stuff out into the open in the last year. Maybe you'll have to settle for "complex?"

[chibiabos.livejournal.com]

That's what I settled on using.

The more unexpected autobiographical factoids you expose, the more enigmatic you seem. :p

[altivo.livejournal.com]

You guys are so enigmatic about this.

I got a message "Site overloaded." You're so popular, you broke the website!

[altivo.livejournal.com]

The meme is suddenly popular and that has overloaded them. It's a grid of adjectives and you select five or six that apply to the target individual in your opinion, and then give your name or identifier. It keeps track and plots four quadrants: adjectives that the person chose for themselves but no one else selected, adjectives that the person chose and others also chose, adjectives that others chose but the target individual did not, and adjectives that remain unselected. For each, the number of times it was selected and by whom can be revealed.

All the adjectives are complimentary, so there's not much risk of hurt feelings. So far four people have cast votes on mine and the results are indeed interesting. Try back again later, it will let you on eventually. After you vote, you get a chance to create a similar page for yourself and let others cast votes for your attributes.

That's the rub All the adjectives are complimentary - it would spice it all up if it was more realistic

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Oooh, the Swedish Chef!

I don't think it matters that all the adjectives are complimentary. Adjectives that remain unselected or underrepresented after a fair number have cast their votes are just as telling as negatives would be. You can turn those into negatives and assume they have been selected rather than omitted. :)

[vimsig.livejournal.com]

Of course you are right - not selected by enough peeps means you just do not qualify - but- it would still be good to have some tangable negatives out there, so that it wouldn't seem such a whitewash.

Folks are so au fait with diplomacy in place of real; symbolism in place of truth. We all play games.

A lot of them are synonymous which seems a bit irritating. "Intelligent" and "witty" for instance ..... what really is the difference between those adjectives? They seem nearly synonymous to me.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Those two are not synonyms to me at all. Without looking, the list includes "clever", "knowledgable", "intelligent", "wise", and "witty." They are related and more than one are often found together, but they can exist on their own too.

clever: quick at solving puzzles or finding solutions to problems, a raccoon trait if you will, and involves intuition and experiment

knowledgable: filled with facts, a capacious memory, a walking encyclopedia if you like, but could be an idiot savant as well

intelligent: this encompasses reasoning ability combined with cleverness, so it's the left-brain version of clever, which may be very rightbrained and intuitive

wise: having the ability to make good decisions or judgements based on the available information, which is often a combination of knowledgable and intelligent

witty: this actually implies a sense of humor, not just intelligence, though of the others defined here intelligence is an important factor in wit

All these are aspects of the active mind, but they go in different directions. By choosing one over the others you are specifying the character of an individual as you see them.

Well, I'm going to say that I selected "caring" instead of "loving," but I really do think they're almost synonymous. I also want to note that for "logical" and "patient," those are also attributes I would have selected eventually, just not as the foremost six.

*grins giggles and hugs*

You don't have to justify your choices. Thanks for voting.

[corelog.livejournal.com]

*smiles and hugs back* Well, I wasn't justifying my answers. I just didn't want you thinking that some of those things still labelled "Facade" really were a facade, because not all of them are.
