Testing Myself at Tickle 13 Times February 28, 2008

You can tell a lot about a person by the tests they take. I’ve taken the following 13 free tests at Tickle between 9 July 2007 and tonight. It was interesting, educational, and a rather random way to spend time.

1. What’s Your Fame and Fortune? My short answer: Scientific World — new information for me

2. The Brain Test. My short answer: Left-brained, Visual Learner — I knew this yet reading how they scored each question was fascinating.

3. What’s Your Eating Style? My short answer: Circumstantial Eater — I need to review the report that came with this test. I think I can deal with it now and use it for good.
   

4. Are You Millionaire Material? My short answer: Millionaire Material Medium Low — I have new thinking since I took this so I’m going to eventually retake it. I will make the millions!!
   

1. Which Executive Are You? My short answer: Art Director — I have no/low aspirations to do the JOB. Yet I see their point.
   

1. What’s Your Secret to Success? My short answer: Balancing Skills

1. What’s Your Signature City? My short answer: Seattle 

1. Your Gender Identity? My short answer: Feminine focus

1. What’s Your Perfect Workout? My short answer: Pilates – I haven’t tried it yet

1. What Fashion Decade Is Most You? My short answer: 1950s — it’s true, I buy 50’s dresses and jackets from a local shop called Elizabeth’s. They’re my favorite clothes

1. How Should You Indulge Your Senses? My short answer: Little Personal Time — I do seriously love solitude.

1. What’s Your Fantasy Home? My short answer: Nurturing Nest
   Taken: Jul 9, 2007

1. What Drives You? My short answer: Curiosity — so very true

13 things I’d like to change about myself February 22, 2008

1. I’d like to be less fearful. I think I have a chemical imbalance that makes me afraid when most people would just be a bit concerned.
2. I have to lose 20 pounds.
3. I’d like to be more confident. I’m really not “un”-confident yet most people seem to be “more” confident than I am. I usually chalk it up to my perfectionist tendencies yet sometimes that just sounds like an excuse. I must admit that I think most people think too highly of themselves. I see people daily who are just not as fabulous as they seem to think they are. Do I want to be one of them? Maybe I do – at least once a week.
4. I’d like to think less. At least one time a week.
5. I’d like to be more money motivated.

6. I’d love to be less of a perfectionist.
7. I’d like to be bolder, wilder, crazier (yet not CRAZY).
8. I’d like to be less passive.
9. I’d like to be at least 100% more organized.
10. I wish I were not a Renaissance Soul.
11. What would I give to be 15 years younger? A lot IF I could remember some of what I’ve learned in the past 15 years. Not a damn dime if I couldn’t remember most of what I’ve learned.
12. Wouldn’t it be nice to be too sexy for ?? I don’t know – maybe my age. Yes, I’d like to be too sexy for 44.
13. I want a better memory. (I’m working on it.)

Actually the above is a partial lie. I like being me. It’s just that it’s easier being me when I work it out to be alone. If I changed all the 13 above things I’d be someone else and then no one would be me and that is not something I want. I could change 1/2 or 1/4 and increase my health and happiness AND still feel like me. That’s a plan.

Thirteen Things about Gwendolyn L. Kelly MultiPurpose-Woman dot com is my website. Visit it! I collect inspirational quotes I’m a 40-something year old scorpio – born November 2, 1963. I believe in free will astrology, numerology, and the tarot I have a 20 year old daughter in college I’m a feminist artist fiber is my primary medium I love to learn so I constantly explore new hobbies I want to write novels when I grown up I’m interested in creating free online games and board games I’m always seeking spirituality information *I believe mature women website owners should bind together and take back the search terms “woman” and “women” from the porn sites. It’s sad that you can’t search for woman, women, or female anything without being bombarded with scummy, useless content. I don’t like to fly so I don’t travel much I love to read
