A Genuine Leader

Here I was bored on a near Christmas evening, so I decided to learn a little about myself. Not that I needed to find anything out but well, it's a free quiz! So I took it, and for my no-surprise...



You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.

You prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the air until the last minute.

The control you feel over your life is empowering to you-- you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don't really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.

If you want to be different:
There's more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.



how you relate to others
You are Genuine

Your outgoing personality, your preference for order, and your cautious appreciation of others makes you GENUINE.

You aren't afraid to occasionally be the center of attention. You are comfortable and confident in social situations.

As a charismatic kind of person, you tend to be energized by other people and enjoy their company.

When other people are upset, you are able to think about the situation rationally, without getting too caught up in their feelings.

At times you find it difficult to understand where other people are coming from, and wish they could just see things the way you do.

You are a strongly principled person who believes in right and wrong. This helps you make decisions easily when it comes to moral issues – you don't have to waste time hedging on important values.

In your experience, people tend to get what they deserve. Because of this, you work hard and try to follow your principles in your day-to-day life, knowing that you will be rewarded for your efforts.

If you want to be different:
You have many friends, but you only trust a few of these people when it really counts. Opening yourself up to more of your friends will help you create more strong and meaningful relationships.
Be cautious when judging someone—try harder to understand his or her perspective—and you will become a more intuitive person.

Get a fucking life. Or kill yourself, dammit.


Não, não, eu não estou de TPM. Quisera eu! Meus problemas seriam facilmente resolvidos em uma semana e uma caixa de bombons.
Então, por que tanta ira nesse coraçãozinho? Bom, for starters, eu quero dizer que todas as minhas convicções sobre como jogos são uma coisa positiva, que desenvolvem o raciocício e a memória são uma falácia. Ou não, espera, os jogos que desenvolvem o raciocínio e a memória ainda são ótimos! O problema são os jogadores.
Será que as pessoas são tão losers, tão frustradas, tão ruim de cama, tão pau-pequeno, tão incompetentes pra aprender ou tentar qualquer coisa que precisam - depois da fase de fantasia de pré-adolescente - continuar apenas sonhando?? Aliás, sonhar é bom, mas hummm... continuar apenas se iludindo?? PQP!!

Get a first life é o que eu digo. Fantástica idéia, e pena que não é mais crítica.

O dono da idéia, Darren Foot conta em seu blog:

My Project Du Jour: GetaFirstLife.com
Hey you, get a first life, eh?
First off, I am not a Second Life hater. Let me say that again: I am not a Second Life hater. I’m on record as saying that there’s something important going on inside the game.

Well, I am a second life hater. Acho ridículo, patético, imbecil as pessoas esconderem-se atrás do que não tem capacidade ou coragem de ser. O cara tem medo, bloqueio, e pouca coragem e força de vontade pra estudar guitarra, e começa a "tocar guitarra pra caraleo no Second Life. A patricinha que num tem coragem de ser puta vai virar cafetina lá, o cara que não tem panca pra ser bandido é traficante lá. Ah sim, e ninguém tem que arcar com as consequências de nada. Li numa revista que inclusive um jogador desconectava da net pra não pagar a conta do bar. Patético. LAME SORE LOSER.

Agora imagino a geração de filhos desse povo. Um bando de inconsequentes, um bando de imbecis medrosos inseguros e ridículos. 2015 será conhecido como o início da nova era ultra-romântica-bocagiana onde adultos ultra-reprimidos e inseguros irão começar sua vida profissional, atrás de ridículos bobble-heads pra esconder o que têm medo de mostrar.

Tenho nojo da vulnerabilidade humana. Absolutamente patético. E não pensem que eu não choro. Ontem mesmo de derreti de chorar pela frustração de ter um filho pré-adolescente que é um exemplo da personalidade que descrevi acima. E ontem ele pôs fogo em um monte de coisas dentro do quarto dele, pondo a vida e nossa casa em risco.

Então acho que tenho base suficiente pra criticar with all my will essa imbecilidade toda.

Ah, mas é o RPG que você tanto jogava? Bom, primeiro ele envolvia as pessoas - digamos - fisicamente. Segundo, a gente tinha que bolar toda a história. Éramos os programadores e os jogadores. Hum, meu argumento não serve? Tomara que eu esteja errada então, quem sabe logo logo não precisaremos nem trabalhar, ficaremos todos escondidinhos atrás de vidas sem real problems, real consequences, esperando The Matrix nos desplugar.
