So, on a whim I decided to run through one of those online personality quizzes. Usually on them and the official test I come back as INTP. From time to time, INFP. Today's an INFP day.

Results (using the quiz at Human Metrics:

• very expressed introvert


• slightly expressed intuitive personality


• slightly expressed feeling personality


• moderately expressed perceiving personality

At Keirsey.com they call this type the Healer (from the Idealist group), while my usual INTP is the Architect (from the Rational group). "Healers present a calm and serene face to the world, and can seem shy, even distant around others. But inside they're anything but serene..." "For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed."

And I found an amusing INFP 'motivator' poster: INFP: walking the fine line between cute and creepy (Caution, extreme close up a fuzzy spider or similar bug :))

I think my favorite personality test result was on a test I took in college where I scored high on both logic and aesthetics. It assaulted the stereotypes others unconsciously have. Quite a few people responded, "But, but surely that's not a valid result," and had trouble with it even after it was pointed out that the test (I sadly can't remember which personality profile test it was now) put logic and aesthetics on separate scales. Which meant that yes, someone could score high on a preference for both.

I generally don't take these too seriously, but it's amusing to review them from time to time.

It's strange. I've always considered myself a cat person rather than a dog person (some bad experiences with neighbor dogs when I was still only about knee high). But dang, foxes are cute.

I mean check out Sagittor's picture Mother and Cub III. Cute. Or from the same person a picture titled, Get Ready. I mean really, just look at that cute fellow.

And those are just your every day red foxes. Fennec foxes... Oh my, don't look at this cute sleepy fellow in Kyoto if the ones above were too cute for you. Or this baby fennec in Korea. Those ears! Or this cute sleeping Fennec couple at the Phoenix zoo.

I'm not sure when exactly it happened. But somewhere along the way this cat guy became a fox guy. Hopefully I won't in a few decades become the male equivalent of the crazy cat lady. "Police and animal control report today that a local man was found to have forty-two foxes in his apartment. Neighbors say, 'He was quiet, but he always seemed nice. Confused, but nice.'"
