Though I take issue with the vampire assessment since I was into monsters long before the goth subculture took off after Bauhaus.

So, cainmark, your LiveJournal reveals...

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.

Been a while since I've done a quiz. Here's one.

Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

NFPS - The Guru

Nature, Foreground, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

"The Unburdened Mind"
psychoses, scallawag, pirate
[info]cainmark
From The Damn Interesting website:

"The Unburdened Mind"

http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=936

Glibness/superficial charm = NO
Egocentric, exaggerated self-image = SOMEWHAT
Need for stimulation/bored easily = SOMEWHAT
Pathological lying = NO
Conning and manipulativeness = NO
Lack of remorse or guilt = SOMEWHAT
Shallow emotions = NO
Callousness and lack of empathy = NO
Parasitic lifestyle = NO
Poor behavioral controls = NO
Sexual promiscuity = NO
Childhood behavior problems = NO
Lack of realistic long-term goals = YES
Impulsivity = SOMEWHAT
Irresponsibility = SOMEWHAT
Failure to accept responsibility for actions = NO
Many short-term relationships = NO
Varied criminal behavior = YES
Posts 'first' messages = NO

Probable diagnosis = Non-psychopath with criminal leanings

Th criminal leanings I have are the type equivalent to those such as wearing a t-shirt that says, "Impeach Bush and Cheney" to the National Archives where the US constitution is held and being arrested (illegally, I might add) for it.

Looking back on my life, I've known a very high percentage of psychopaths, both at work and in my personal life. I'd say about 80%, really.

Nope, stil haven't changed in my core being.

You Are An INFP

The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.

At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak

You Are a Werewolf

You're unpredictable, moody, and downright freaky.
You seem sweet and harmless, until you snap. Then you're a total monster.
Very few people can predict if you're going to be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde.
But for you, all your transformations seem perfectly natural.

Your greatest power: Your ability to tap into nature

Your greatest weakness: Lack of self control

You play well with: Vampires

Hermit
psychoses, scallawag, pirate
[info]cainmark


You are The Hermit


Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.


The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.


The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.


The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

My accents

What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

Midland

("Midland" is not necessarily the same thing as "Midwest") The default, lowest-common-denominator American accent that newscasters try to imitate. Since it's a neutral accent, just because you have a Midland accent doesn't mean you're from the Midland.
