Month meme.

[zotz]

DECEMBER:

Loyal and generous. Sexy. Patriotic. Active in games and interactions. Impatient and hasty. Ambitious. Influential in organizations. Fun to be with. Loves to socialize. Loves praises. Loves attention. Loves to be loved. Honest and trustworthy. Not pretending. Short tempered. Changing personality. Not egoistic. Take high pride in oneself. Hates restrictions. Loves to joke. Good sense of humor. Logical.

Not a particularly good hit rate, there. Anyway : Barnum Effect.

So why do you think it suggests both "Ambitious" and "Not egoistic" for the same people? How much intelligence does this sort of thing credit us with? Not much, as far as I can see.

I think you're sexy. But you know that. And yes, I'm biased. Duh.

Thank you, though. I just wish more people had agreed with you in the past.

I resent that remark. It's not my fault I was twenty and neurotic :P

I'd also argue for "fun to be with"; "loves to socialize" (I've seen ya!); "loves to be loved" (even if it does bemuse you); "not egoistic"; "hates restrictions"; and "good sense of humour" (hey, "good" does not rule out "dry" or "twisted").

Screen this if you like, btw, I don't mind.

Pfah. I think you are.

And 'fun to be with' deserves uncrossing too. You're a star.

Ambition and egotism don't *have* to go hand-in-hand. Egotism isn't the same thing as having a sense that you want to be more skilled and better off than you are and a determination to do what you have to to achieve that.

Let us simply say that I found this more annoying and insipid than I normally find memes, and I didn't think that was possible at this point. All this does, really, is throw a bunch of random words into a vacuum and let you make sense of them. This is hardly revelatory, even among my Freudian friends.

Oh, and my results will never see the light of day because they were so totally unenlightening and trite.

Hmmm. Hates restrictions not something I would have crossed out with you in mind, nor Good sense of humour for that matter, although perhaps that's just because I enjoy it. There are a few others in there too as it happens.

I would have said I was about average on those things, so you wouldn't really mention them in a description like that. Thank you, though - it's very kind of you to say so.
