Personality Tests Are Strange
You know those personality tests you find on the Internet which are created either for fun or following some "official guidelines by the work of Sigmund Freud" or some other well-known psychologist? No matter the source of the test, some tests end up incredibly biased. Others are surprisingly really accurate. But as I will show soon, all can be taken not-seriously. Heh heh. Enjoy my nonsense.

Take the
Seven Deadly Sins QuizYou know, the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz was particularly interesting. While I'm thankful to God that my results look low, as everyone knows, the aim is to get all seven down to ZERO! Also, you know, I'm not as holy as all that. Take a look:
Greed: Very Low??? You'd be surprised. Could it be that I've just found a way to get things for free and so it doesn't look like I'm amassing a hoard of expensive nonsense? Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about shoplifting or anything. It's just, maybe you need to take a look in my room sometime. But then again, maybe not. Wouldn't want your eyes to burn out with visual overload. The minesweeper room. Hoo boy.
Gluttony: Very Low??? Biggest lie I ever heard. Maybe my dad doesn't believe it. Maybe I don't really show it, eating only slightly above average portions, sometimes average. But has anyone ever seen my snack uptake? I kid you not, I could fill up a rubbish dump all by myself. Blame my metabolism. Hmph.
Wrath: Very Low??? Well, it might be true that people don't really inflame me unless the crime committed against me is very serious, but obviously, the test makers never considered asking for a sample of what happens when things don't go my way when I'm playing my favourite game. Maybe my roomie can shed some light on the subject. Four and five letter words are best not repeated by the one who said them. Or best not repeated at all.
Sloth: Medium??? This would be an obviously inaccurate reading that everyone, not just me, would dispute. I mean, I didn't found the SJI Slacker's Union for nothing, you know. I'm a very good slacker. And the dispute goes the other way. You'd be amazed at how dedicated I am to the absolutely wrong things like gaming or reading during homework time and etcetera.
Envy: Very Low??? One of the definitions of envy is to desire something that you do not have but others do. The Singaporean spirit of kiasu-ism, so to speak. Again, maybe it only looks like I don't want what other people have because I have my own screwed up version of what is cool. I guess one of my strengths is being totally independent of trends. Seriously, me and my friends' "Real Men Wear Pink" might make a lot of people roll their eyes. No, wait, scrap the word 'might'.
Lust: Very Low??? C'mon, how about a ZERO for a change??? I'm not that bad, am I?
Pride: Low??? As I've mentioned in a previous post, I am an incredibly arrogant person. It's a fatal flaw, and although I'm taking steps against it, it doesn't change the fact that it should be somewhat higher. At least for the moment. But when this isn't a problem anymore, I'll be that much of a better person.
Now for this test. Find out your personality? Bullshit. Although the results, I might say, are in fact an accurate, albeit crudely so, reflection of myself, it is obvious that the true purpose of this test is to blind people with too many statistics and cheem psychological syndromes. I mean, "Peter Pan complex"? Even a freak like me needed Wikipedia to understand this one.
A warning to all who see this test and suddenly make the decision to do it yourself: Beware! The test comprises a humongous load of questions that will take up a lot of your time. But if you have time to spare and you want to do it, I'm not stopping you. Heck, no matter if you don't have time to spare, I won't stop you either. Just don't blame 'that lightning guy's blog' when you get into trouble for interpreting 'spare time' as 'time that should've been used for homework but I just didn't want to do it'. You might just get labelled as more slacky than me. And let me tell you, that's bad.
