If It Weren't For Spell Check I'd Never Spell Psychological Correctly
I heard about this Psychological test The University of Cambridge: The Psychometrics Centre did that uses your Facebook likes and pages. I decided to try it, so now let's go through the results. Nailed it! I am, in fact a man. But what was more interesting is what they used to determine my masculinity below.Oh, you know that that big feminist rapper Eminem. How does liking him make me "more feminine"? He literally has a song about wanting to lite a WOMAN ON FIRE. I do like that song by the way, but not for that reason.And who can forget about the very manly love story Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, about the macho Axe Body Spray model Scott Pilgrim and his love interest Ramona Flowers.The Marvel Comics things is spot on, sorry Her Universe. Openness: Yup, that's about right.Conscientiousness (the personality trait of being thorough, careful, or vigilant): I take offense to this because I see being impulsive and spontaneous as an insult. Meaning you lack forethought or planning. I think I plan things in advance very well, maybe too well. In fact so well that I can usually see how bad it's going to turn out, and decide not to ever do it in the first place.Agreeableness: I agree. (Wocka wocka)Neuroticism: "Laid back and Relaxed". Hahahahahahahahahaha. No. I wish I was laid back, but generally, I am not.Am I finally getting to the age where The Simpsons is considered "Conservative" and "Traditional"? Fuck, I'm old.I don't know what these things are or why there's 2 different Boondock Saints in my FB likes, but these will pop quite often later on.Oh, does being a fan of The Cure make me emotional? I hope I don't smudge my mascara crying over that. What I am talking about? Boys Don't Cry.FUCK YEAH I'M SMARTER THAN 99% OF THE POPULATION!!!Look, now how can I be dissatisfied with my life if I'm SMARTER THAN 99% OF THE POPULATION?!? Oh, yeah, because I'm smart enough to figure out ignorance is bliss. Goddamnit.And no, I will not at any time defend my liking of Eminem, Two & A Half Men, or How I Met Your Mother. So, don't skim through this looking that. I'm also not going argue with liking those things make me less intelligent. Let's just move on, okay?Lord of the Ring fans aren't gay? Good luck trying to convince my high school football team of that.Liking Oreo cookies makes me seem MORE political? It must be I'm involved in relationship between vanilla cream and chocolate.On the religious side, nothing too surprising here. I'm agnostic, so I have no religion, but that's because I grew up catholic. In fact I remember the moment I lost my faith. 8th grade bible school I asked the priest,
"The bible tells us God created Earth on one day, animals the next, then man the day after that. Science has proven dinosaurs lived millions of years before man. How is that possible?"
and after very long compilation, his well thought out answer was,
"Well, millions of years to us, could be equivalent to one day to God."
Wait, seriously, that's the best you could come up with? You mean to tell me this question didn't ever come up in Seminary School? I feel like there should be an entire class just devoted to answering this one question. Or at the very least one day prepping you to handle it better with some bullshit rhetoric to keep the masses complacent if they accidentally squeeze this quandary out of their pea-brains. So after that I was like,
"Check please! We're done here."
History? Okay. I suppose.Engineering? Yes, that was my fulltime job for a while. However, I feel like journalism should be a bit higher because my college degree is in Broadcast Journalism and I do WORK IN NEWS. Okay, I write traffic reports, but that's a form a news so get off my back. Truth be told my investigative journalist skills are being wasted here. And by investigative skills I mean I'm REALLY good at Googling shit.I like how being a Boondock Saints fan makes me more interested in history AND psychology at the same time. However, this is a great spot where they missed an opportunity to fuck with people by saying,
"Being interested in Futurama makes you MORE INTERESTED IN HISTORY." You have no sense of humor University of Cambridge.
Also, as for the Relationship Status goes, thanks for reminding me about that frigidly cold and barren side of the bed. Dicks!I really don't know what this test says about me as a person. Most of it is spot on. I would like to see what in my Facebook likes makes me more likely to wonder about the weight limits of a common household ceiling fan, but that kind of thought is best saved for my psychiatrist... or a home repair man. Take the test for yourself, I linked up above. Feel free to post your results in the comments if you choose. Maybe there's a correlation amongst the people who just read this post.
