You are a Social Liberal (78% permissive) and an… Economic Moderate (56% permissive) You are best described as a: Democrat Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid Also: The OkCupid Dating Persona Test

Hrm. I wasn’t aware I fell quite in that spectrum. I’ll be the first to say I’m a social liberal, but I would have considered myself an economic conservative. Oh, well…

Apparently I’ve been tagged to do this 20 facts about me thing by Demmie. Well, here goes…

Start: 12:52 PM

Write 20 things about yourself. Then tag as many people as it take minutes for you to write these 20 things.

1) About the only food I dislike is Mexican food. I’ve begun tolerating it as of late, but generally tend to avoid it.
2) I’m a big Star Trek fan, but said fandom died down a great deal thanks to Enterprise and Voyager.
3) I’ve gotten to meet several of the people responsible for making the Mortal Kombat series of games, which is my favorite.
4) I provide email services for my friends, family, and my Dad’s companies.
5) I started learning Linux after my friend Sinc introduced me to it. Now he comes to me for Linux advice.
6) My parents are from England. Most people who hear that think I’m British. I’m not; I was born outside of Chicago. I do supposedly qualify for dual citizenship.
7) My left eye is a lot stronger than my right eye. In fact, I didn’t start needing contacts in my left eye until I was 26 or 27.
8) I enjoy playing poker, and have gotten to the final table in my friend Michael’s last two Texas hold-em tournaments.
9) I much prefer British comedy to American comedy. Must be the Brit in me.
10) I’m the only one in my lunch group at work who will gladly go to an Indian restaurant.
11) I might be a Mortal Kombat fan, but the Japanese kanji seen on the banner of my site and my LJ and forum icons is actually inspired by Akuma from Street Fighter.
12) My personal website had a message that said it was under renovation for something like nine years because I couldn’t think of anything better to do with it.
13) I’m far heavier than I look. Most people think I’m 20 pounds or so lighter than I really am. I’m hoping that it’s muscle causing the discrepancy. ;-)
14) I had never been to Vegas prior to May 2004. Now I try to go at least twice a year.
15) When I travel, I carry a Game Boy Advance with me. It’s the only time I use portable game systems, too. My current favorite portable game is Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.
16) I enjoy listening to dance/house music (on the satellite music station) or 80s music (via Club 977) as background noise when on my PC.
17) I routinely listen to Overclocked Remixes as background music as well. What can I say… I enjoy videogame music.
18) Before I got into computers, I was in training to be a classical musician. I think I’m better off with computers, though I miss music sometimes.
19) I enjoy singing karaoke, and have yet to sing the same song twice.
20) I have Asperger’s Syndrome. However, I only learned this within the past year.

Finish: 1:03 PM.

Okay, so, 11 people. I’ll tag jenndolari, missyanthrope, scotters83, ACJ, draugr, foxbaby, shifter_, shinnokxz, badm0j0, tygerlander, and Sean MC.

Your answers suggest you are a Realist

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:
Planner, Facts, Heads and Introvert
Summary of Realists

* Loyal and steady workers who meet deadlines
* Believe in established rules and respect facts
* Think of themselves as mature, stable and conscientious
* May appear too logical or tough-minded and forget their impact on other people

More about Realists

Realists are loyal to the people around them and work hard to keep their promises. They are honest and straightforward with others and expect the same in return. Realists believe in standard procedures and will only support change when there is a demonstrable benefit.

Realists are the most common personality type in the UK, according to a nationwide survey.

Realists respect factual information, which they store up to use when making decisions. This group likes to have time to think quietly and carefully before taking action.

These extremely productive people like to be occupied in their leisure time with pursuits such as craftwork, hiking or reading.

In situations where they can’t use their talents or are unappreciated, Realists may become obsessed with schedules, critical of others or have trouble trusting other people to get the job done properly. Under extreme stress, Realists may complain loudly that events have taken a turn for the worse and predict negative outcomes.

Realists typically only share their opinions or personal experiences with trusted friends.
Realist Careers

Realists are attracted to jobs where decision making based on factual knowledge and experience is required.

It’s important to remember that no survey can predict personality type with 100 percent accuracy. Experts say that we should use personality type to better understand ourselves and others, but shouldn’t feel restricted by our results.

True Story. A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, saying no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage. The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholisim is against gay marriage. The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, “I’m gay.” The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshipped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left, too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn’t matter if you’re straight, bi, or gay. It doesn’t matter if you’re Catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

My personal opinion? As far as I know (and I admit I’m not the greatest authority on Christianity), it’s not our place to condemn such people for their choices. Even if God explicitly says such stuff is bad… that’s a matter between them and God. Let God judge them.

As the saying goes, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone…”

Rules: Copy your friends list and bold the ones you have met in real life, and italicize the ones you have only talked with on the phone. Anybody you have only spoken to online, do nothing to their names.

Some of you I hardly know at all, but you friended me and I thank you.

But here’s a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Random stuff.
Any old thing at all.

Just so the next time I see your name I can say: “Ah, there’s so and so…she wears mismatched socks.”
I’d love it if every single person who friended me would do this…especially those who rarely or never comment. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal…
