Question: How do I PREFER to take personality tests?

Answer: Take them anywhere from 3-5 times. Today's test is The Color Quiz.

( I picked out the ones that I really happened to like and stuck those in, too. )

I like personality tests a lot more than I should. ≡＿≡ My favoritest kind ever is the branching format, probably because I can't really figure out how to make one myself (can't predict the results). And they usually have fewer choices with fewer questions to save space, so the subject material is lighter. ...Ribon has been running these kinds of personality tests for a while now, in the back with their astrology stuff, and they're fun. Who cares if they pretty much alternate between "what's your style?" and "who's your ideal type?" Better than "are you too aggressive?"... ...*kicks Seventeen magazine for being shitty*

I don't like more serious personality tests very much. I don't disagree with them (they're very accurate), but I had quite a jolt when I discovered Keirsey.com is covered in anti-Ritalin, "ADHD is doesn't exist" material. It was the first time I'd ever been exposed to that kind of utter wank and I wonder if I've ever really gotten over it. ≡＿≡

Continued from the last entry

Basically, you can pick up from where I left off on the last entry, and the change in subject will make sense, but when you're finished, you'll be surprised I got so far away from where I started.

My favorite follies are the chit-chat about how the drugs I take daily shrink your brain and make you rape bunnies, and the "Abuse it---Lose it" "system", a great way to tell a kid that they have no control over their life to protect themselves from ridicule and punishment.

It focuses on the hyperactive parts of ADHD and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to address inattentive parts. That probably explains a lot of the bullshit this guy puts out---they don't exist to him. The daydreamy little girls---the ones that make the teachers shake their heads in private, only she sees it and knows that nobody will ever trust her with a life and home because she's so inefficient and useless, and by the way she's ten years old, will her life be six or seven more cycles of this---can just go fuck themselves. Or kill themselves, better yet, they'll never be good people, anyway. What's the point in seeing them? Or curing them?

( Cut for quite a bit of, well, angst. Mine. )

No, nothing has happened, I'm honestly not as upset as I sound. This is all something I've been over in my head so many times I can articulate it without it hurting too much. ...I just have to write lots of oh-so poetic run-on sentences. Really, it's crap. Typical, like. (I've only ever done the book-throwing thing.) Oh, but I'm not locking up this entry because I actually kind of want random passersby to see it and be inspired, haha. ...I kind of want it to make someone else feel better, too, like.

Before I stop, it's worth mentioning that in Full Moon wo Sagashite, when Mitsuki and Takuto are standing around in a river and she finally tells him what's going on---when I first read it, I identified with Mitsuki a lot. I was PISSED at Takuto for being all, OH I DON'T HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING HEARTBEAT. STFU, man, I don't take comparisons as comfort.

Then I looked at his face properly.

I like Arina because instead of making him look utterly shocked and unable to say anything, he looked like he was gonna cry, too. There was actual want there, need to hold his little girl who was hurting so BAD right there. We know he really, really cares about Mitsuki because her feels her, too.

Maybe it's just because I forgot myself, but I feel like Arina could have forgotten to make him sympathetic that way. I'm happy she didn't. Salve for my own situation.

HAHA OMG I SAID SALVE. =_=
