Your Score: Bert

You scored 77% Organization, 43% abstract, and 61% extroverted!

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.

And you may not be surprised to know that on MANY occasions, I have rearranged the plates in our cupboard, so that they alternate colors (we have a set of blue and a set of green dinner plates). I also don't like it when the two top plates are the same color, because of using another one before unloading the clean dishes from the dishwasher and.... :P

Your Score: Obsessive-Compulsive

You scored 54 anxiety, 43 awkwardness, and 59 neuroticism!

You worry, you bite your nails, you think perhaps you left the oven on...that makes you neurotic right? Not quite--you're Obsessive-Compulsive! You are a nervous person, with fears, worries, and doubts--and these manifest themselves visibly, perhaps in tics, sayings, or just compulsive organizing. However, though your fears are irrational, they're not social--perhaps you're the life of the party, ensuring that everyone gets exactly two blue and three red candies in their party favor.





Your high anxiety score implies that you are unable to relax, worry about the future often, and probably are plagued by irrational fears and self-doubt.



Your low awkwardness score implies that you are socially capable, are personable and charming, and probably go to parties and have fun.



Your high neuroticism score implies that you exhibit neurotic behaviors--probably organization, repetitive mantras, constant checking, or orderly rituals.

As seen all over.... I don't smoke, but I guess you could say that I like fire (people who know me might get that.)

You Are Cumin

You are warm, unique, and pretty dominant. It's also pretty likely that you smoke or like fire. You are energetic and intense. You definitely stimulate people.

According to Dr. Brazen Hussy, I also bite hard...

Your Power Bird is a Cardinal

You believe that each day is precious, and you spend your times as best as you can. You see the wonder in small things, and you are often content with what you have. You live an interesting, colorful life - and you bring color to those around you. Confident and expressive, you believe you know how to live a good life. You're living it!

What's Your Power Bird?

I am getting tired of living in Small College Town- It shouldn't take an hour to get to a decent Indian or Thai restaurant!

I have some blog posts floating around in my head, but this week has been fairly productive so far on the research front and I am reluctant to take the time to write a substantive post. Mountain U never called, so it's safe to assume that someone else got the offer. I am disappointed, but also pissed- they interviewed several of us for multiple positions* and I can't believe that I was actually near the bottom of the list. And I am NOT one to "toot my own horn" either. I did get wind that there was an internal candidate who has a spouse elsewhere on campus. Makes me suspicious... I am settled in here for the summer, anyway. I plan to do some more extensive job-searching in the fall- even though my tenure review process has already begun (external reviewers are already requesting copies of my pubs!) With all of this in mind, I am determined to make myself as marketable as possible by getting some papers submitted before the fall semester starts.

In other news- my mother-in-law is coming from Distant Country next week! It's been far too long since she was here, but because of visa delays we couldn't get her here last summer. Yay!

OK- back to work... more later.
