This is a collection of random ideas and thoughts, which I will probably post when I'm bored or procrastinating.

Personality tests

There's a lot of them out there. So I thought I'd add my own to the list. Apologies if you have done this one before. :-)

Presenting............THE NOOF QUIZ!!!!!!

1) You are in the shopping centre. You are wheeling your trolley to the checkout, when all of a sudden someone cuts in front of you. Do you:
a) Yell, "OI! WHADDYA THINK YOU'RE DOIN',PAL?!" b) Kung-fu their groceries to shreds
c) Smile, because you know this check-out takes cash only, and this customer's trying to pay using Visa
d) Just let them go ahead.

2) You find out that I got my licence (I haven't, by the way). You say:
a) "Everyone get off the roads! She's got her licence!" b) "Let's have a drag race."
c) "Can you give me a ride?"
d) "That's great, Nic! I knew you'd get your licence first go!"

3) You are travelling down an escalator with a friend. You
a) Talk about everything that comes into your head at the top of your lungs
b) Try to run up the escalator and annoy all the people behind you
c) Watch your friend run up the escalator and annoy all the people behind you, and grin
d) Listen to your friend while they talk about stuff.

4) You have a job. You:
a) Talk about it all the time
b) Try to bend the rules at work without getting into trouble
c) Get there early, know everything and get on the boss's good side

5) You sit down to watch TV, and you hear a family member walking towards the lounge room. You know that they'll want to hog the remote control when they get there. You
a) Yell, "I'm watching something!"
b) Throw the remote control out the window or door
c) Take the batteries out of the remote control and hide them
d) Keep watching TV. Maybe they won't ask. If they do, you tell them you're watching something, in a very calm voice.

6) It's Friday night. Your usual Friday nights consist of: a) Playing music at top volume, watching movies and yakking to your friends on the phone until about 11.30pm
b) Going out and painting the town red (or whatever your favourite colour happens to be that night)
c) Getting all the homework and chores out of the way so you can have all Saturday off
d) Comforting an upset friend or sibling while trying to finish an assignment

a) Tell your friends another funny story, even if it's totally unrelated
b) Give the pastor a standing ovation
c) Take some notes about stuff you think is important
d) Laugh (NB If you have Bible reference races with the person next to you, then you're just a NOOF. No names mentioned, AARON!!!!!!!)

8) There is ice-cream in the freezer.
a) You yell, "COOL! ICE-CREAM! CAN I HAVE SOME?!?"
b) Take it out, open it and have a competition to see who can eat it fastest without getting an ice-cream headache
c) Mix it with a soft drink and have a spider (or is it spelt 'spyder'?)
d) Make sure other people in your family get some ice-cream as well as you

9) It's your last day of year 12. You:
a) Say at valedictory, "THANK GOODNESS I'M GETTING OUT OF THIS HOLE!"
b) Play a practical joke that will go down in history
c) Ignore the people you don't like, so they won't ask you for your contact details
d) Tell your friends you love them and you'll never forget them

10) One of your friends sent you this quiz. You:
a) Answer it quickly, pass it on to all your friends and tell your family
b) Go through the quiz and find the funniest, wackiest options and select them all
c) Answer it for fun and then delete it, so your inbox won't pile up with junk
d) Answer it and tell the person who sent it to you how cool it was

OKAY, THE RESULTS ARE IN!
If you chose MOSTLY A's then you are a LOUD NOOF. Loud noofs (noofi) are easy to spot. They are the ones talking, making comments, giving opinions and generally making a noise. They are very honest people - whatever goes into their heads comes out of their mouths, generally speaking. They're excited about life and the little things. They are never boring.

If you chose MOSTLY B's then you are a CRAZY NOOF
Crazy noofs are unorthodox. They are not easily embarrassed and will do something out-there even before you've thought to dare them. They will be remembered for their craziness and unrestraint. They just get into life, no worries. Crazy noofs are funny people.
If you chose MOSTLY C'S then you are a SMART NOOF
Smart noofs are often aware of facts that other noofs are completely unaware of, but are too tactful to point it out. Instead they quietly grin to themselves while other noofs go round in circles doing noofish things (like trying to pay on Visa at a cash-only checkout). They know what will help them and what will just get in their way, and choose what will get them ahead, even if it's not the most exciting option. However, smart noofs still do silly (i.e. noofish) things. Otherwise they wouldn't be noofs, would they?!

If you chose MOSTLY D'S then you are a NICE NOOF
Of course they do noofish things too, but they are remembered more for their acceptance of other noofs. Nice noofs aim to please. They aren't Darias and they aren't doormats -- they're willing to let noofs be noofs and forgive people who hurt them. Did I mention the word 'noof' in this paragraph?! Nice noofs do the right thing, they love people and people love them.

Loud Noof
Crazy Noof
Smart Noof
Nice Noof
which one are you? (Let me know!)

(And if that's not the most insightful thing since Jung, I don't know what is :-) Just kidding)

    Did you just make this up Nic?

    I had a tutorial today and I got to find out how I deal with conflict by doing a quiz and after triumphing in the fact that I was a compromiser, I found that I had a tendency to be an emotional autocratic leader. Poor form :(

    Oh well what do Prentice and Hall know about me and the way I approach problems or people anyways.
    There's a lot that can be said about these quizzes but they shouldn't define who you are.
    Take it from a girl studying counselling - Jesus is the answer to who we should be like and our aim should be to keep on being conformed to his likeness.
    By the way I turned out to be both nice and smart :)
