My email service conducts regular quizzes, which we can take part in or ignore. Today’s asked if we take any sugar in our cuppas and if so how many. I picked zero: I stopped taking sugar in my tea many years ago. 48% of 1598 who voted do likewise. That makes more than 767 people!

I go to see lostprophets and Taking Back Sunday in concert tonight in Manchester. I can’t wait — I adore both of these bands, and get mocked by my Metalhead mates who despise them both. Awesome!
Why do I insist in completing these things? I don’t even accept most of them as valid! This one, however, seems quite accurate (for me, at any rate)…
| Your Five Factor Personality Profile |
 Extroversion: You have medium extroversion. You're not the life of the party, but you do show up for the party. Sometimes you are full of energy and open to new social experiences. But you also need to hibernate and enjoy your "down time." Conscientiousness: You have low conscientiousness. Impulsive and off the wall, you don't take life too seriously. Unfortunately, you sometimes end up regretting your snap decisions. Overall, you tend to lack focus, and it's difficult for you to get important things done. Agreeableness: You have medium agreeableness. You're generally a friendly and trusting person. But you also have a healthy dose of cynicism. You get along well with others, as long as they play fair. Neuroticism: You have high neuroticism. It's easy for you to feel shaken, worried, or depressed. You often worry, and your worries prevent you from living life fully. You tend to be emotionally reactive and moody. Your either flying very high or feeling very low. Openness to experience: Your openness to new experiences is high. In life, you tend to be an early adopter of all new things and ideas. You'll try almost anything interesting, and you're constantly pushing your own limits. A great connoisseir of art and beauty, you can find the positive side of almost anything. |

So I took another test today. This one claims to gauge my soul’s type. Behold:
| You Are a Peacemaker Soul |
 You strive to please others and compromise any way you can. War or conflict bothers you, and you would do anything to keep the peace. You are a good mediator and a true negotiator. Sometimes you do too much, trying so hard to make people happy. While you keep the peace, you tend to be secretly judgemental. You lose respect for people who don’t like to both give and take. On the flip side, you’ve got a great sense of humour and wit. You’re always diplomatic and able to give good advice. Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul, Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul |
“Interesting…” (as Christian Bale once said in Equilibrium prior to hurling Brian Conley through a bookcase.) I think these sorts of tests attract me, if well–composed, purely because of the process of thinking about my own self when completing them. Sifting through the sands of my soul in order to extract what I feel pertinent when faced with numerous answers to a question.
