My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Ok, I have a confession to make.
But, shhhhh, you have to promise not to tell anyone because I don’t want this all over the Internet and the whole world knowing my business.
After all, you guys know how private, shy and reserved I am and that I don’t like sharing TMI on my blog, right?
Well…
Do you remember back in the late ‘70’s and ‘80’s, when Cosmopolitan Magazine first came out with those monthly quizzes that you could take to find out how you ranked in certain categories?
Like these:
Well, even though these quizzes were intended for females, I would take them anyway just for the hell of it to see how I ranked.
Besides, I LOVE taking quizzes!
And back then whenever you flew, the airlines usually had Cosmopolitan Magazine tucked inside the little pouch that was behind the seat in front of you. You know the pouch I’m talking about right? It’s that pouch which also contains the CRASH manual, giving you instructions on where the life jackets and emergency exit doors are; how to place the oxygen mask over your nose and mouth; how to assume the crash position; all while remaining calm as the plane PLUMMETS to earth and you CRASH INTO THE SEA!
*insert dramatic disaster movie music*
Anyway...
I would always take those Cosmopolitan quizzes whenever I flew because I usually flew alone, so no one could see me taking them (oh, except for the passenger sitting next to me). And what I would do was NOT fill in my answers in the magazine with a pencil or pen, no, I would take a separate piece of paper and write my responding answers on it, and then match my answers to the score ranker in the back of the magazine. And I did that because god forbid, I didn’t want to leave my answers INSIDE the magazine so that anyone else could read that I wasn't approachable, or not passionate, or a good-girl hot, or that I couldn't keep a guy intrigued.
But hey, come to think of it, there were never any answers written inside the magazine when I took those quizzes, so I bet everyone else who took them did the same thing I did.
All of which leads me to the point of this post.
Two Quizzes.
I found these quizzes online and thought they were interesting because some of it I thought was very true, while some of it was meh.

After taking this quiz I got this as my career:
*You are a giver, a justice seeker. You spend more time thinking about others than yourself, and more than anything just want what you’re doing to help someone in some way. Essentially, you is kind, you is smart, you is important. Other occupations: social worker, judge.

After taking this quiz I got this as my mythical creature (and how ironic, being a gay man):
*Positively enchanting! You’re naturally adorable, but your enemies are in for a nasty surprise if they think that means you’re helpless. You’re feisty and quick to act, and you’re a bit of a trickster and enjoy practical jokes. You know how to enjoy yourself. From appreciating a sunny day to standing up for what you think is right, you carpe the diem, always.
So if any of you ladies and gents feel like taking these quizzes sometime this weekend, please do. It only takes a minute or two (8-10 quick questions), and you will find out what career you should have and what mythical creature you are. Just click on the question photos above and you will be taken to the website. Have fun!
Wishing you an inQUIZative weekend everyone!
