The Sesame Street Persona Test

BERT
You scored 70% Organization, 53% abstract, and 47% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

You are very organized, both concrete and abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.

Here is why are you Bert.

You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Bert is a big neat freak and gets quite annoyed when Ernie makes a big mess.

You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Bert is probably a bit more concrete in his bottlecap collecting addiction and his love of the weather. He does show his abstract side when he sings and performs his “Doin’ The Pidgeon” song. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren’t afraid to explore your dreams and desires… within limits of course.


You are both somewhat introverted. Bert is probably more introverted, because he spends most of his time either with Ernie or alone. Still he has no problem being around other people in his role as chairman of “The National Association of ‘W’ Lovers.” Like Bert, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren’t scared of social situations.

Six Words

I took this from Shawn Lea, who got the idea from Caterina.

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to compose a complete story in six words. His answer was, “For sale: baby shoes, never used.”

Here’s mine, as posted in both bloggers’ comments:

“She refused to sign the prenup.”

Feel free to write your own six-word story and post it in my comments or on your blog or online journal.

Soundtrack Meme

Stolen from Timothy J. Lambert who stole it from Poppy:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool … (Not much on this list is going to say “cool,” and I’m okay with that.)

    Sucked/Didn’t Suck

    A post from ‘Nathan made me think of my years of oppression education in the school system. How do yours pan out?

    Kindergarten–didn’t suck
    First grade–didn’t suck
    Second grade–sucked
    Third grade–sucked
    Fourth grade–didn’t suck
    Fifth grade–sucked
    Sixth grade–sucked
    Seventh grade–didn’t suck
    Eighth grade–sucked
    Ninth grade–didn’t suck
    Tenth grade–sucked
    Eleventh grade–didn’t suck
    Twelfth grade–didn’t suck

    Thank goodness for kindergarten, it helped “didn’t suck” pull ahead by one. Dear Linda Bishop (and I’m talking about the REAL one, not “Linda” or the one who got that name in THREE FORTUNES), I’m sorry I stole your crayons in kindergarten. That theft was almost immortalized in a TJB novel, but we wrote a different book. Who knows. One day, it may yet be retold.
