So I took a fake IQ test. Result:
Congratulation
Your IQ score is 129
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.
A thing I find curious:
The first person I kissed properly, was from Australia.
My first real boyfriend is from India.
I've had crushes on Finnish boys but it seems that I just can't get it on with Finnish guys. How odd.
The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not
How true is this!
Time for a diary entry with all the good qualities of an "oh-how-life-s
The monday noticed iippo around four. She went home and because she had agreed with her roommate, she started to move the beds and the furniture to different places so that both laptops could get internet access. In the middle of the job, with both beds moving, she had a spaz. "I don't need to change stuff, we already have plugs near everything we need!" So she moved everything back to their original places. Then she realised that it's not about the electric plugs, but the phoneline plugs. So she moved the beds again. After having done that, her friend Nabil came to visit her. He played the good song on the laptop (Mahi Ve) and he had brought chocolate chip cookies. Everything seemed nice. Iippo started to go through her papers and diary, and to her horror she noticed that the rent is due this week Friday. So she hustled herself and her friend out of the room and out of the house. Then she noticed that her keys were in the locked room, so even if she'd ring the bell and get one of those cold british people to open the door, she'd still have to wait for her roommate to open the bedroom door. She wasn't due for another hour. Around then her friend noticed that he had left his phone inside. So they agreed to go to the bank and come back after roommate was home. They walked to the bank and to her absolute joy, she noticed that the bank had closed. Thye agreed to go to an open access internet room to spend time.
What happens on the next episode:
-She will get hit by a car
-She'll be fined for something university related
-She can't get her account number in time.
-She finds her boyfriend in the arms of another girl
-She gets hit by a doubledecker
-She gets kicked out of BarrasLane and University
-She misses the plane home
-Her homecountry goes through a revolution and she is no longer a citizen of any country

European communications
The European Union commisioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications
As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short)

And now, something completely different (<-- a phrase I learnt from Monty Python's Flying Circus. You should too).
Alright, I tried this arithmancy/num
YOUR CHARACTER
What a lovely personality ! (aww, thanks!) Everything and everyone prompts you to create, to invent, to innovate. (I feel that too) You are very sociable and speak without detour. (That is, when I really start speaking...)
You give priority to the mind, even sometimes to spirituality. (Ok, fair enough...) You are also able to go back to the source within yourself. (I didn't quite understand...)
When facing a sudden event, you react according to others' sakes in order to protect them. (I thought I was protecting myself from others)
Your deepest desire is to experiment, to discover, to constantly change existence. (O_O how did... this thing is amazing!)
Actually, you sometimes appear to be shy. (No kiddin?!) In fact, you wish to be independent. (Here here) You sometimes take initiatives. (A rare sometime, I'd say)
You behave as someone clever enough (behave? I'm not clever enough?!) to take advantage of any original experience linked with communication. You inherited from your forefathers their humanity and their pride.(o.O so that's where that comes from) To finish with, your character is whole for you keep your last name unchanged. (It gives this to everyone who hasn't had a previous name) You do not undergo hesitations like these and those who have changed name during their existence. (Actually I wouldn't mind changing my lastname, but I won't bother until I get married)
First of all, you are a creative soul. (duh... but it is amazing this program knew it!) Whatever your means of expression may be, you constantly need to create. (Have I noted this many many times...)
You appreciate new, clever means of reasoning. (I love reasoning... it doesn't work because they sometimes tangle themselves up... funfun) You are open to other methods. Your mind is mobile and adapts itself easily to different methods of learning. (build it with plasticine!) You avoid heavy and righteous speeches, (ok) you avoid the unchanging knowledge of our ancestors. (? I do?)
Your magnetism is acute. (o.O eh?) You live your emotions so intensively that you don't hide them and you 're even able to use them in your relationships. (Not quite agree with everything, but yet again, I am inside me so it's harder to say...) Actually, you are guided by your emotions, and you are influenced by them, so as to shift from total bliss into helplessness. (oops, didn't have to share that, now did I?)
You are very far from physical activity. (Right on!) You don't like to move, nor to meet the demands of a sportive discipline. (Tell them!) You don't like to feel physically tired. (I hate that!) Exercice bores you. (So true! And this program knew that from my name and date of my birth! A-may-zing!)
You have a great potential to feel, to perceive and to guess. (Really? Didn't guess that one) If you decide to use this potential for a humanitarian goal, you will develop it even further. In some cases, mediums can be mentionned. (Didn't quite get this)
YOUR MAIN QUALITIES
First of all, you have a strong personality and are usually very positive. (Yes, yes is such a powerful word) You are entreprising, direct, at ease as soon as initiatives must be taken. Furthermore, this yearning after committing yourself, after participating is particularly blatant.within the framework of associations, of the couple or of contracts.
Your capacity of adapting yourself, your skill of collaborating will be tested during the phases that correspond to the challenge of number 2 (see below), even if partly mastered. However, you find it easier to cooperate.if you happen to meet somebody, who accepts to be near you whenever you need him/her but who lets you free. Not always easy to balance out... (not quite there yet)
However, your sociable nature, your taste for communication will be tested as you accept challenge of number 3. Furthermore, you strive so much after wanting to manifest your expressive and artistic skills that you scatter them away. (o.O)
You are the ideal confidant, the one people come to for advice or to be cheered up. (Sometimes I really do hope they'd stop that) You perfectly know how to behave when it comes to family duties (please note that the word family must be taken at large, i.e including a circle of friends). In fact, you face up to your responsibiliti
You are mostly calm and quiet. (True) You prove methodical. Your skills to think things over, to take a step back avoid many problems. You often have too strong a faith in whatever you deem is true. Furthermore, your first move is not to trust others. Your inner space is private. (True, don't be offended if I shut you out) It belongs to you and you don't want to share it. (O.o frighteningly accurate words)
YOUR MAIN EXCESSES
You are the Idealistic person, with a big I. The one who would set out to rebuild the world over. (teeheehee... ^^;;) But on the other hand, you are particularly emotive, even if you usually don't show it. Each move, each act from others affect you deeply. (Yeah...) Your idealistic impulses are very powerful. But is it possible to make this great hope you have for humanity ever come true ? Anyway, you commit yourself, you accept responsibiliti
You deeply yearn after learning, helping and teaching others.(YES!)
YOUR MAIN DEFECTS
Be simpler, be more obvious, instead of making everything complicated. (o.O but complicated is more fun. And it's not that easy to see the simpler way out) You are too tidy, almost. (If this means about vacuum cleaning and stuff then it's off big time!)
You prove too possessive, too dependent on things and people around you. (Ehhee... but my people are mine!) A slight change in sight, and you become a nervous wreck. (Has happened) Moreover, you accept to change, but only if you decided it, because you feel uneasy when facing whatever you haven't decided to meet on the way. (*nod**nod*)
Your relationship with money and power is very different from the norm. (avoidance is my relationship with money... it avoids me) This is why you might live situations in which your way of considering things will not be understood. (Hah, in your face Bär!) Be careful !
YOUR PREDISPOSITION
Given the above analysis, we will now carry out a synthesis of all these different influences. You find it easier to work on a team than on your own. (Hmm... maybe easier, but I definetly prefer to work alone. I love being on my own) You 'd rather not take initiatives. You are perfectly able to collaborate, be it in professional or in heart matters. You are excellent at facing up professional responsibiliti
YOUR DESTINY
Your life is influenced by number 5. It means that this itinerary asks you to adapt yourself to brutal changes of situations in all spheres of your existence. (brutal changes are coming in my life when I move soon...) Be vigilant because this itinerary also includes risks of accident.
Your Cosmic Key is 17. It is like a real and spiritual guide. It indicates that your destiny will be deeply affected by external persons (living or not) assisting you. They will help you to know right from wrong. (I dare not to comment on my destiny... tho hopefully this is true)
YOUR DEBTS
First, you may distinguish aspects of your existence where it will be necessary to provide a particular effort during several years. The exit is always favorable as soon as you have taken conscience of the problem, and that you fully stand for it.
First of all you must overcome your natural trend to lazyness. (Eh... how did it know I'm lazy?!) You 'd rather escape realities that appear too compelling to you. (How embarrasing) You lack perseverance, industriousnes
Facing difficulties, you don't want to interfere in other people's business. (True true...) You count only on yourself (totally) and foster a form of permanent hope.
In second place, you must expect breakdowns. (Yeh, I know...) These moments are difficult to determine. Often they are short but very tough to live through. For instance, the brutal loss of a person you love, the treachery of a friend, a project that crumbles, the departure of a spouse... Numerology enables you to determine to what old pattern this consequence corresponds.
A long time ago, you used to be in power (social, spiritual, physical power...). You took advantage of your superiority. (When?!) Today, you must use your power of leading, of showing the way on behalf of those who are in need. (What? Your asking an 18-year-old to lead the way? Forget it!) But in order to be able to use this authority in your social life, you will have to overcome delays, material issues and in certains cases, to follow a genuine spiritual path. You will often feel like destiny is particularly harsh on you. (I think all will) As soon as your behaviour aims at confronting yourself with others, expect certain aspects of your life to get lost. (O_O) This debt is the most difficult to live up to, but it also holds the most beautiful promise of rebirth, if you prove able to fight without harming others, and channel your powers without scattering them away. (Okay, this IS scary...)
YOUR CHALLENGES
Your principal challenge is symbolised by number 3. It indicates that you will have to learn how to express yourself. (Even more expressing? I thought I'd cleared that) Creating, but having at the same time others listen to you and understand you. Not an easy task, especially because you might be judged as an excentric who overdoes things. (o.o;)
Until 40 years old, You meet the challenge of number 5. It will be so that your strong appetite for earthly pleasures might play tricks on you. You will be restless. In order not to prove too excessive and not to suffer from it, you will definitely have to channel your energy.
Passed this age, you will meet the challenge of number 2. In clear, you will need to prove very cautions in your associations and unions. In other words, cooperate and respect others, but without showing submission.
YOUR FIRST CYCLE
Until 31 years old, here is the climate of your existence : This is often the sign of a marriage before the cycle ends. As a child, the influence of the mother, or of a woman, was all the more important that the father was scarcely present. (Eh? My father or my kid's father?)
This period is to be put in perspective with what you will have to stand for, namely your first realization that will finish in 2016, when you are 31 years old. During this period, you open up very early to the world around you. Expect to travel and to move. You strive after discovering and living intensively emotionally.
YOUR SECOND CYCLE
From 32 years old ( 2017) to 58 years old ( 2043), your existence changes : this time, you are brought to a new way of considering existence, based on research, discovery, initiation. This spiritual quest, if you are married, must not hinder your family life. Despite this, this is an excellent period for the realization of your inner self. Writing, as well as mastering esoteric techniques and knowledge are fostered.
During this second cycle, you enter a new period of realization. From 2016 to 2034, deals with your enjoying life and friendly, interesting relationships. Very few problems come about. This is an excellent period, prone to creativity and ideal for those who have a job that deals with communication. Note that this second realization corresponds to your main challenge (0). During this nine years, obstacles will come up, only to enable you to push your limits further. It might not always be easy, but this is how life helps us develop new skills.
YOUR THIRD CYCLE
Change of scenery when you are 59 years old, in 2044 : The context brings you to live a restless retirement, due to brutal and unexpected events. Sentimental difficulties might show up. You must take time to think things over. I must underline that this last cycle, symbolized by 7, is the same as your life path. Because of that, it is quite certain to happen, hardly avoidable.
The last period of realization starts in 2034, when you are 49 years old. In the long run, you seek a calm place that looks like you. You find new points of interest in research, esoterism and/or spirituality. Complicity dwells within,unspoke
One more anti-puppydog dream my subconscious cooked up: I was playing with this huge gun I had seen on Ripley's and I pointed it around and shot a huge hole on my dog, accidentially. Then I almost had to put it out of it's misery when i noticed it was okay...
Is negro a bad word in english language? It means a race, right? One type of black. I don't understand the fuzz about it, any other word for a certain race of humans, like arab, isn't considered bad. I do understand that nigger is bad, but is negro? I don't see it bad in finnish language unless it's said in an evil tone. hmm.
