Haven't done one of these for a while. From quickcasey:

Your Score: Orpheus

33% Extroversion, 66% Intuition, 72% Emotiveness, 90% Perceptiveness

You are an artist, an aesthete, a sensitive, and someone who has never really let go of that childlike innocence. To you, all of life has a sense of wonder in it, and the story of Orpheus was written about someone just like you.



When the Argo passed the island of the Sirens, Orpheus played a song more beautiful than the Sirens to prevent the crew from becoming enticed. When his wife died, he ventured into the underworld to charm Hades but, in his naivete, he looked back becoming trapped there.



You can capture your unique world view and relate it to others with the skill of a master storyteller. Your sensitivity and creativity make you a treasure to the human race, but your thin-skinned nature and innocence can cause you a lot of disenchantment and pain. What's doubly unfortunate is that, if you try to lose those traits, you never will, and everyone will be able to tell that you're putting up an artificial shell to prevent yourself from being hurt.

Hmmm... honestly, that sounds a lot like me. The more people I meet, the more saddened I feel that most are tired and bored with life already...

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Yup. I've been aware for a while that you and I share some common views and traits. ;)

[gabrielhorse.livejournal.com]

:) That's good to know...

It called me Prometheus! That destardly fiend of a test! Orpheus seems to suit you well, though.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Prometheus isn't all that bad. Taker of decisive action? But perhaps a little short on foresight? ;p

[hellmutt.livejournal.com]

Hehe. I'm more Hamlet; clueless and dithering and fretting entirely too much about the future and bigger picture. ;)

well... I didn't expect this....

Your Score: Narcissus

33% Extroversion, 13% Intuition, 0% Emotiveness, 100% Perceptiveness

You are viewed by others as tasteless, thick-skinned, inflexible, self-absorbed, arrogant and oblivious. You are Narcissus. You seek out high risk jobs, and jobs that allow you to assert yourself over other people. You also really need your space. You have a strong conformist streak, but you also like to be spontaneous. You also love you. I mean, you REALLY love yourself. You think you're awesome incarnate. But, your flyboy arrogance aside, your bravado lets you accomplish things that others might not be able to.

Pffff. Just proves that these quizzes don't get it right all the time. Even I know you well enough to know that's not true. ;p

Put some clothes on!! :D

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Too hot!

[cabcat.livejournal.com]

Is this an equine thing? My other equine friends tend to spend time wearing nothing at all.

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Yes. It's easy to explain. Horses are hot. ;p

*gives a long sideways glance then puts an icecube on your flank*

[altivo.livejournal.com]

And then you wonder why your equine friends nip at you and chase you around...

Its not my fault they make such statements which deserve teasing :D
