    Are you masculine or feminine?

    You Are 75% Feminine, 25% Masculine You are in touch with your feminine side. Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you. You tend to go with how you feel. You trust your intuition. And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women.

    Which specific song truly reflects you?

    I feel like this song's sound and lyrics are pretty reflective of what goes on inside my brain. Sarah Slean - Drastic Measures I should go to drastic measures Steal enormous works of art Write a piece for eighteen violins It's no march, but it's a start Rub their eyes and wake distracted...

    trying to fit in and be accepted

    I think that rather than actively changing myself in an attempt to fit in, my tendency is to restrain my personality and true opinions around people. Part of it is because I'm shy, but it's also because I do worry too much about what they will think of me. As a result, I don't have many problems...

    RIP JD Salinger

    RIP, he's been one of my favourites for a long time. The first time I read Catcher in the Rye I got Holden's voice stuck in my head and wanted to call people "phonies" all the time. :)

    Default Emotion

    I think I live in the blue-ish & green sections the most, swinging between apprehension and amazement, with a good dose of pensiveness thrown in.

    Why do many people have trouble accepting compliments?

    I think they are nice to get, but they can make me feel self-conscious, especially if it's a compliment more personal than "hey, nice scarf" or something. Maybe it's because I'm just not that comfortable with attention or being singled out in general.

    INFJ - what job do you do? Are you happy and fulfilled?

    I'm a Chartered Accountant. I've been working in audit for the past few years. It's been challenging, and definitely educational, but I wouldn't call it "fulfilling" work. I'm thinking of moving into the non-profit or government sectors, because I'd like to do something that makes more of a...

    Do you care about growing old?

    I agree with that. The loss of independence scares me more than anything else.

    What unlikely dream jobs would you want to pursue?

    1. Travel writer/photographer: I like traveling, I like writing, I like photography. I'd like to be paid to do all three. :D 2. Editor at a fashion magazine: This just seems like a fun job. And I assume you'd get some freebies. 3. Script writer for a hit TV show

    Avant Garde Music

    I'm a fan of Metric, Goldfrapp, and Beirut, which you guys listed earlier. I also like Andrew Bird, Neutral Milk Hotel (although they're no longer around), Arcade Fire, and Elbow... not sure if they're all exactly "avant garde."

    The Office

    Haha, yes!! And then Dwight comes in dressed as Jim and tells Phyllis that he looks like "an idiot" when she tells him he looks nice. :) I also like the one where Jim and Pam send faxes to Dwight from the future.

    Signal Patterns

    Pretty accurate! My "Stable" and "Traditional" sections were completely empty, haha. Passionate You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or...

    The Office

    I'm a fan. :) My favourite character is probably Jim. I love the pranks he pulls on Dwight, and all the times he puts things in jello.

    If you would write a book, would you use a pseudonym

    I think I'd be very tempted to use a pseudonym. For me, writing stems from such a personal place, and I'd feel too weird & vulnerable if people knew the book was mine. It would be kind of like having a diary with my name on it lying around for anyone who knew me to read. Maybe if it was...

    What art movement are you?

    You Are Expressionism Moody, emotional, and even a bit angsty... you certainly know how to express your emotions. At times, you tend to lack perspective on your life, probably as a result of looking inward too much. This introspection does give you a flair for the dramatic. And it's...
