I found another one of those infernal spam “Personality Quizzes” in my Inbox this morning. In general I think they’re about as useful as hair-growing suntan lotions but I’m passing this one along just for fun … enjoy.

This is a real test given by the Human Relations Department at a major corporation here in the US. The Personality Survey is pretty accurate … there are only 10 questions and it takes less than 2 minutes to get a result.

Have a paper and pencil ready before you begin. When you're done be sure to make a copy of your results, and send it to all your friends.

Now, add up the total number of points and check below for the grouping you fit into.

Over 60 Points: You typically make quiet, unobtrusive arrivals and don’t mind waiting before making your presence known. But once you're on the scene, you establish yourself quickly and make yourself the center of attention. You aren’t afraid of introducing yourself to others wherever you go... most people think of you the same way they do the flu.

51 to 60 Points: You believe shrimp grow on flowering shrubs and have pets with names like “Hair Brush” and “Dish Rag.” You enjoy stealing silverware from Long John Silver's and believe Martha Stewart sends you urgent lifestyle management updates through her catalogs.

41 to 50 Points: You are not only the reason for Brad and Jennifer's break-up, but Tom Cruise would leave Katie Holmes to spend time in outer space with you. Dr. Phil is currently negotiating with Michael Moore to produce a feature-length film based on your life, and France is considering renaming Paris in your honor.

31-40 Points: You’re often incapacitated with imaginary illnesses and have cut the pockets from your jeans to prevent germs from accumulating on loose change. You also believe hair grows because it gets wet and enjoy MP3’s of the sounds your tennis shoes make in the dryer.

20-39 Points: You take pride in being conventional. You are slow to embrace new ideas and remain technologically challenged by pay telephones. Your idea of quiet time is hiding in the bushes and barking at the mailman. There is no compelling reason why you should be allowed to reproduce, either accidentally or intentionally.

10 to 19 Points: You are generally oversensitive, easily angered and selfish, but can also be intolerant and borderline schizophrenic. You talk to light bulbs and enjoy unrolling hundred-yard lengths of aluminum foil at bedtime. Most people think you're dim-witted, and laugh a lot behind your back. Your mom is one of them.

9 Points Or Less: When angry or upset you prefer spending time alone, usually under the kitchen table making hissing and spitting noises like a rabid cat. You enjoy watching MTV and drawing smiley faces on the TV screen with magic markers. Most people would rather peck and scratch dried corn from the dirt than spend time with you.
