h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My mate *:.potterholic.:* came on here, got my email address tehn left

Do you have hers?

Yeah. I have loads of people from NR's email address. Damn, the CDs jumping! Oh good, it's gone back to normal. This song's totally amazing! I love this album

Why don't you e-mail her?

Which album is it?

I do but she only sends me chail letters which I totally hate.

The Future Of War. I was listening to it this morning but I only listened to 4 tracks

That's weird. You e-mail her and she chain-letters' back.

Which ones? The first 4?

I always get chain letters. They suck.

Yeah, the first ones. I've got PRESS going round my head now

You sent me one.

P-R-E-S-S!!!

Did I?

Now I've got YOu Can't Hold Us Back going round my head!

I love the riff on that one!

It's my favourite track on the album. Apart from F*** All (well that WOULD be my favourite track with a title like that!)

I think that's one of the worst on the album. The drumloop sounds all wrong.

But I like the Title.

Oh well, I still like it

Yeah

*travels with Freya to a completely deserted spot somewhere in South England*

Hmm, what did you have in mind...

Nothing...

Just taken a Sciene personality thing. I've taken it before but didn't realise it until I got my resuts. Oh well. Here are the results if you're interested:
Extraversion
Some people like lots of stimulation; they want people around them, activity and excitement, whilst others prefer to be able to focus on things in a calm and quiet environment. Most people prefer a blend of the two extremes although your answers suggest that you have a preference for the quieter setting, preferring the company of just one or two people to large crowds. This may help you if you work in a quiet, ordered or solitary setting but you may find things less comfortable than most if you are constantly interrupted.

Confidence
Some people make decisions very easily and tend not to worry about them before or afterwards while, at the other extreme, some people are so careful and cautious that the decisions never get made! Taking a cautious approach can be a good thing (do you want to fly with a pilot that is so free from worry and concern that she never checks her controls and instruments and doesn't bother to communicate with air-traffic control?) and you seem to have described yourself as someone who does tend to be quite cautious and careful. This can be very important in detailed work or areas were mistakes can have a major cost although you may find yourself avoiding risks and many cautious people wish they were bolder.

Openness
While some people like experimenting with new things and ideas, others prefer traditional methods and taking a very practical approach to problems.

Your answers suggest that you may be reluctant at times to consider new approaches and ways of doing things, but that you understand the value of tried and proven methods and of lessons that have already been learnt.

Agreeableness
Most people want to be able to get on with others but to some it is the most important thing in the world, whilst others are quite happy to upset someone else if it means that things get done.

Your answers suggest that you are not prepared to put up with being messed about with and are quite comfortable being direct with people, even if this upsets them. You may therefore find it frustrating working in an environment that is very polite and where upsetting people makes it harder to get things done.

Conscientiousness
Some people like everything to be well planned, tidy and organised, whilst others prefer to deal with things as they come up and appear to work in absolute chaos.

Your answers suggest that you don't like having things too structured or being tied down and you can cope quite well without having to have everything organised. This may make it hard to find things at times or for colleagues to know where you are or what you are doing, but you probably find coping with the unexpected (the things your colleagues didn't plan for!) easier than many.

This questionnaire can't tell you exactly what you are like; it doesn't go into enough detail and only helps you ask questions about the way you behave and make decisions in your occupation. Don't rely on it to tell you what your personality is like but use it to think about the different ways that people go about doing things. Read each description, ask yourself if it sounds like you (and it may not!)

Sounds like you're a bit of a shy, introverted person. I like that.

"Your answers suggest that you are not prepared to put up with being messed about with"

Too right.

Where'd you get that test?

I think there's a link to it on the front page. If its not go into the psychology/mind section and have a look round

I did the test. Here are my results:

Extraversion
Some people like lots of stimulation; they want people around them, activity and excitement, whilst others prefer to be able to focus on things in a calm and quiet environment. Most people prefer a blend of the two extremes and your answers suggest that you are quite comfortable in either situation. You can probably cope with things being a bit hectic or a bit quiet but, like most people, you may find extremes in either direction uncomfortable or annoying.

Confidence
Some people make decisions very easily and tend not to worry about them before or afterwards while, at the other extreme, some people are so careful and cautious that the decisions never get made! Taking a cautious approach can be a good thing (do you want to fly with a pilot that is so free from worry and concern that she never checks her controls and instruments and doesn't bother to communicate with air-traffic control?) and you seem to have described yourself as someone who does tend to be quite cautious and careful. This can be very important in detailed work or areas were mistakes can have a major cost although you may find yourself avoiding risks and many cautious people wish they were bolder.

Openness
While some people like experimenting with new things and ideas, others prefer traditional methods and taking a very practical approach to problems.

Your answers suggest that you may more interested in the creative, new and experimental aspects of situations than dealing with the routine practicalities. While your dreams and plans may not always be achievable, you are likely to be very open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

Agreeableness
Most people want to be able to get on with others but to some it is the most important thing in the world, whilst others are quite happy to upset someone else if it means that things get done.

Your answers suggest that you can be firm with people when you need to be but that getting on with others is still important to you. Like most people you would rather avoid conflict but are not prepared to put up with being treated badly by others.

Conscientiousness
Some people like everything to be well planned, tidy and organised, whilst others prefer to deal with things as they come up and appear to work in absolute chaos.

Your answers suggest that you don't like having things too structured or being tied down and you can cope quite well without having to have everything organised. This may make it hard to find things at times or for colleagues to know where you are or what you are doing, but you probably find coping with the unexpected (the things your colleagues didn't plan for!) easier than many.
