I did two online tests. One of which was from Katherine’s xanga… Um.. anyway here it goes:

The Prankster (38% dark, 56% spontaneous, 26% vulgar)
Your humor style: CLEAN COMPLEX LIGHT
PEOPLE
LIKE YOU: Conan O’Brian - Ashton Kutcher

Your humor has an intellectual, even conceptual slant to it. You’re not pretentious, but you’re not into what some would call ‘low humor’ either. You’ll laugh at a
good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it’s highly likely you’ve tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor because it’s smart without being mean-spirited.

You scored higher than 16% on dark
You scored higher than 63% on spontaneous
You scored higher than 5% on vulgar

For some reason I found that to be extremely hilarious. “You’ll laugh at a
good dirty joke”? Right. Like that’s me…

And the second one tests whether or not I would have been a Nazi should I have lived 65 years ago. The answer seems predictable…

Der Kommandant
Achtung! You are 30% brainwashworthy, 63% antitolerant, and 66% blindly patriotic

Brilliant, opportunistic, and patriotic to a fault, and not so fond of people who aren’t just like you, you are like a Nazi General. Put into Germany in the 1940’s, you would have been at the top of the asshole list. Not for Nazism, necessarily, but for your own sick, twisted values. Then, out of superior intelligence (relative to other Nazis, that is), you would’ve climbed to the top.

Conclusion: You would have been a Nazi, or at least aided them well and gladly.

You scored higher than 31% on brainwashworthy
You scored higher than 87% on antitolerant
You scored higher than 84% on patriotic

That’s hilarious XD I would’ve been a Nazi. Yay.

Apparently my penmanship didn’t improve. I got the exact same comment… well, in content. It told me to print, and write clearly. My examples are “legitimate and appropriate” but the penmanship makes grading very “cumbersome”. So I got the 7 again. The 12 point essay is 270~ points of writing, so that 5 points is around 133+ of my writing score. Anyway, I even missed a few grammar problems too. I can’t believe I mixed up the past and past perfect forms

I screwed up big time in math too. I missed the question described / discussed and two more. And all for very stupid reasons too. I’m beginning to think that it’s not my arithmetics that suck (as I thought before), but my English sucks; I can’t properly read and comprehend a frickin’ question.

1. The first of which described three consecutive EVEN integers. I apparently didn’t remember the part which said EVEN. Well, self explanatory why I got that wrong.
2. The second one was also pretty stupid. It was asking me to find the area of the UNshaded area. Apparently I missed the UN part. Damn.

Yah. Reading sucked too. 640… Arr… I guess I just suck at inference and deduction problems. (Which is the question type I missed most) I loved mathematical induction and scientific deduction… what’s going on?

EDIT:

I got a few screenshots of how polarized my reading is. Here’s one:

Look at that. I’ve missed every single inference problem there, and “Main Idea / Tone”. And nothing else? That’s pretty lame. I must suck at inference and getting the “Main Idea”, then.

And look at this, I missed both of the “Both Passages” questions, and the vocab in context (That doesn’t really comply with a trend, but oh well) Looks like I got the two inference problems right in this section.

It’s funny I only miss certain questions…. like inferences and “Both Passage” questions. You know, it seems like all the questions require me to get the “Big picture”, which I probably am not good at.

By the way, the + means I got the question right, and the letter means it’s wrong. Most of us are smart enough to figure that out I think. Don’t prove me wrong though.

Yes, finally. This was the LAST one! I think I did fine on the writing, as usual. I tried to make my essay cleaner, but I guess it gave me time to write one fewer paragraph >_A researcher found that the average amount of sleep that she allows her mice to get is inversely proportional to the number of errors the mice make in a maze test. If mice that got 2 hours of sleep make 3 errors, how many mistakes would mice with 5 hours of sleep make?
As you can see, if you do the normal calculations, you would get 6/5, which is 1.2. But the NUMBER OF MISTAKES is a whole number… I thought about rounding it down to one, as I would in normal circumstances, but as you can see, it says MISTAKES, not mistake. I don’t know… it was one of those fill-in or grid-in things, and I can’t compare it to the choices I have, so I think I missed that. By the way, I put in one, since I think that is a normal logical answer (without considering the plural specification in the question).

I mean, I heard if the SAT lies like this - by specifying plural results when the answer should be singular - ETS can be sued for this. This is definitely another reason why I think 1 is wrong (but I still put it in)

Oh well… On a positive note, I think I did better on the reading. Unlike last time, we had articles on brain formations and the NATO etc (things I often read in my spare time… yes… spare time) as opposed to celery growth, christian monks (like before)… and even FICTION!!! Oh the horror >_EDIT:

My dad read the question, and said I was stupid. I should have put 1.2 or 6/5 because the answer specifically stated that it was the number of mistakes from more than one mouse (aka mice), and that the given sleep hours is the AVERAGE… God damn. Even my dad understands directions better than I do.

Isn’t this blog AESTHETICALLY PLEASING!??? Yes, I care about looks too. Just not on me. It’s prettier than anything in this world.. the tech world that is Maybe I just like green too much.

Looks like Cal wasn’t the only one to burn money for enjoyment. Sounds like a big waste of money. How about buy some fruits with that?

EDIT: Joey asked me if Genesis 19:5 says “bring out your guests so we can have sex with them”, and I said no. It says “Bring them out to us so we may see them”. And then I remembered how my “Junior Bible” (yes, the one I got when I came to the US for no more than a year) had “reflection questions” every page or so about the text, which are pretty stupid, and so I scanned it.

BTW my scanner saves preliminary scans in TIFF format for quality, but I had to make it a JPEG to save some space and bandwidth… Anyway, below’s the scan:

Look at question 2. It’s asking if this passage (you know… ehh) were to be made into a movie, would it be a hit, and would we watch / enjoy it

Let’s leave that up to the individual’s discretion

Does anyone notice the rabbit favicon next to the URL on the address bar? Why isn’t anyone commenting with anything more than “moo” and “holy shit”, among other garbage?

EDIT: Javascript doesn’t work… And below is the commonwealth of nations.

Looks like my browser supports every shortcut besides ctrl+i for italicizing text and ctrl+s for publishing / saving the entry… Bold works.

What the hell is the “link” thing? Let’s try it.

EDIT: Looks like the links link the title of the entry to the link I input… And um, you don’t need to have an account to comment. But it would help in my identification of who you are if you include a few hints to your identity…

Yeah, I can seem to syndicate blogs onto my own site (origin, obviously) using the blog service Google bought a few years back. Good ol’ Google.

BTW, I’ll be posting things here as opposed to my xanga.
