Because all the cool bloggers are taking this test.
Pretty accurate, I’d say, though I’d have scored myself way higher on the “awkwardness” one. I guess that since I (unlike Little Brother) don’t strap (multiple) light sabres to my belt, it was in my favor there.
I do have a degree in Literature so I’m glad to see that I tested high for that. As far as the technology stuff, it must be the result of TheDad’s influence, since he’s a programmer.
Everybody’s got a quiz today, it seems. And I just LOVE quizzes!

You scored as Schubert, So, you’ve found something you like to do. You don’t want to do anything else. You do a good job, even if it kills you.
Which classical composer are you? |

Guess I should listen to some of his music and see if I like it. Via Esther, who scored as my favorite composer, J.S. Bach.

How funny–this is what I DO play. Self-taught and everything.

 You’re very independent – both in spirit and in the way you learn. You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed. You’re not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson – or do things by the book. Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play. Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity |

YES, I grew up in North Jersey. Now I live in the Philly ‘burbs and the accent here is very different from home!
Northeastern.
You’re probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you’re from New York.
If you are not from here, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Philadelphian who can’t stand the way other Philadelphians say "on";
(b) A Yat from New Orleans; or
(c) Someone from England, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case why are you doing this quiz in the first place?
| We’re going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different? |

Same, no wait I mean different, maybe, a little bit different…
Different

Quite true. I am Bert. And I’d bet good money that TheDad would score as Ernie.
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.

I knew something was up when Big Brother started asking me about kilograms, glasnost and Washington State. “Hey! You’re taking a trivia quiz, aren’t you?”
He admitted to that, and agreed to IM me the link to the quiz as soon as he was done.
He got a measly 77%. Neener, Big Brother. Bow to your mother, the Trivia Queen.
