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

I found this link while searching the web. As you can tell from the title this Journal Entry will probably only interest you if you like Star Trek. Although even if you don't it would be interesting to see who you end up being in ther personality test

Heres a link to the Star Trek Personality Test... You may find you need a pen and some paper.

Also... Can anyone tell me the difference between a Trekkie and a Trekker? I didn't even know the word Trekker existed untill someone asked me which one I was

Not really, I think a Trekker may be a mountain climber.

I got Odo/Wesley Crusher.

Hmm I got Odo/Wesley too.

I've read Trekkies are the ones who dress up at conventions and stuff, whereas Trekkers are just fans who collect memorabilia and stuff, not sure how acurate that is though. Apparently some fans get rather insulted if you mix the two up.

I suppose you dont know who you are if you've never had a convention near enough to you to attent.

I got Archer/Sisko.

What did it say about Odo/Wesley?

I got Odo/Wesley too. Seems to come up a lot.....

yeah I always wondered what the Trekkie/trekkker difference was too.

I'm Dr Crusher apparently I'm not sure what to make of that.

Isn't it that really devoted fans of Star Trek (especially the original series) don't like being called Trekkies and insist on being referred to as Trekkers instead?

My mom got Dr.Crusher too, it really suited her.
When you all read what it had to say about you did you find it at all accurate?

I've never really watched Deep-Space Nine or Enterprise...But seeing as I got Archer/Sisko now I'm really curious about them.

Yeah, some of the stuff it said was terrifyingly acurate.

My curriosity is getting the better of me. What did it say about all of you?

We-ell... It said I was extrememly handsome and that I was going to receive lots of money from people I only knew through the internet. I am still waiting to see how accurate the second half is.

*Looks into her spending money*
*Pushes past all the bits of fluff*
I've got a little change here.... Maybe if we all pitched in together?

Yes, that's what it said on the next page.

A lot of this could be right, but I'd say at least a quarter of it is wrong. Of course I'm not exactly objective here.

Stuff in "[ ]" is stuff I don't think for a second is right.

Star Trek Personality Test Results: INFP

This test says you are an INFP (Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver).* In Star Trek, you share a basic personality configuration with the characters of Garak, Kes, and Phlox.



"Unless I'm mistaken, they are preparing to mate. Do you think they might let me watch?" - Phlox

Qualities

People like you are generally nonconforming, deeply passionate, and highly dedicated to your personal values. You're reserved, which covers a sensitive spirit easily hurt, the deepest sense of conviction, and a constant state of wonder. You're highly imaginative and creative. You're curious and often study others quietly. You're flexible in small matters. You don't dance to other people's tunes, but you can pretend you do. You get what you want by talking, not screaming.

You're loving and dedicated to people you care about, but you do not compromise your principles for them. Your sense of what is right comes first, even before yourself. You respond best to people who respect your privacy until you let them in, then provide you with emotional intimacy.

You're not the world's most tidy person, nor are you fond of housework and bill-paying. However, if you apply yourself, you may discover a hidden talent for dealing with money.

Goals

Your primary goal in life is to be true to your deeply held beliefs and to live in harmony with your values. Your reward is to have your ideas benefit others.

Work

It is vital to your energy that you enjoy the feelings of "good triumphing over evil." Revel in your victories and watch out for becoming dispirited over life's inevitable failures. You have a great capacity for fantasy, so you may want to turn inward to a world where everything is perfect to the detriment of your effectiveness in "reality." Your nobility includes a propensity for self-sacrifice, but under great stress, [you can question your own identity.]

A good supervisor will keep your position clearly defined and encourage your curiosity with praise and open support. A bad supervisor will take advantage of [your habit for taking the blame for everything, including the weather and acts of God.]

Relationships

You have a very strong sense of other people's feelings and are loyal to the core. [You are affable and cordial as a rule,] but when your values are challenged (or someone you care about is threatened) you can be surprisingly vicious. Be careful about lashing out at others for merely perceived threats.

You may have difficulties in over-romanticizing your relationships, particularly when you feel sincere love. Your desire for idealized perfection in harmony may make you too sensitive to ordinary setbacks and conflicts. On the other hand, [your genuine desire to care] may make you insensitive to when others don't want to be helped.

Jobs

[Good careers for your type include being a psychologist, human resources professional, Cardassian spy, physical therapist, translator/interpreter, legal mediator, college professor of humanities, and art director.]

So are you going to become a Cardassian spy then?

That was very interesting!
It was a good idea of yours to put the stuff you didnt believe in square brackets, it made if very clear

Oh square brackets...How I miss you.... Who would have ever thought I would miss math.

By the way...Who is Garak?

A former Cardassian spy turned Exile turned Freedom Fighter.

Who is Garak!?!??!!? You never watch DS9?

And I don't like Kes by the way.

Why not?
