Hi folks, I found a great geek-personality quiz recently, that I think you'd like to try out.
The address is: http://dicepool.com/catalog/quiz.php
It says I'm a d12, and the description is pretty fitting:
"You are the rare, the overlooked, yet incredibly useful dodecahedron: the d12. You are a creative, romantic soul. You often act without thinking, but make up for your lack of plans with plenty of heart. You easily solve problems that stump others, but your answers tend to put you into even deeper trouble. You write long, detailed backgrounds for all your characters, and are most likely to dress up as one or get involved in cos-play. You can be silly at times and are easily distracted by your own day dreams, but are at the end of the day you're someone who can be depended on."
Have fun!

You are a four-sided die, a d4. Otherwise known as a tetrahedron, a "Caltrop", or (to a lesser degree) "Ol' Pointy". This crap bores you, so I'll get to the point. Others tend to see you as petty, conniving, manipulative, argumentative, defensive, greedy, and needlessly antagonistic. You see yourself as focused, effective, efficient, influencing, shrewd, tactical, and direct. Both points of view are in fact correct. You always know the best way to get things done, a fact that never wins sympathy with others. Whenever you manage to gain control of a situation, your solutions are swift and brutal. Unfortunately everyone else is convinced that granting you such power is, "a bad thing" and often conspire to keep it out of your hands. Such short-sighted fools!

You are the large, round, friendly d20! (You probably didn't know this, but the shape of the twenty-sided die is called an Icosahedron.) You are the friendly, outgoing, outspoken, leader of friends. You are often looked up to, even though you don't normally deserve it. Most other types secretly wish they were you, and you'd give them tips on how, if only you had a clue yourself. Your charisma is often all you need, but you have your occasional moments of brilliance as well--just never when it's actually needed. You are the all-around good guy, a dependable chum, a respectable foe, and an inspiration to those who need one. Who says you can't get by on a smile and good looks alone?

I am a 13-sided die. I need no quiz to tell me this. :P

Good fortune,

I'm a d6; plain, predictable, and trustworthy.

Describes me really really well. Strange.

I did know it was Icosahedron; I had to build one a couple of years ago. It was shabby looking, but it had 20 sides, which was all that mattered.

You are a good old-fashioned six-sided cube, otherwise known as a d6. Others know you to be plain, predictable, conservative, average, ordinary, and downright boring. You prefer to describe yourself as dependable, honest, practical and trustworthy. People usually know what to expect from you, since you rarely hold any surprises. You hate to make decisions, and if forced to decide, you'll always fall back on how it was done in the past. You always order the same thing at your favorite restaurant, and your jokes, while funny, are never too offensive. It seems that you are well liked, but maybe that's simply because there's nothing to hate.

Indeed...it is all that matters.



1990
I moved to a single room, so no more roommates in college. Lived on a coed floor...that was tough. Constant ridicule and being picked on by my neighbors and even my RA. Cigarettes and firecrackers under my door. I play my music real loud in retaliation and I get written up. I don't even go to my disciplinary hearing. Fear of confrontation and knowing the RA would lie if confronted with his role in the cigarettes and firecrackers. Met Elle Macpherson though. That was something. I swear we shared a moment when we locked eyes. It seemed like an eternity to me, but was probably only 2-3 seconds.

Musical Influences:
2 Live Crew "Banned In The U.S.A."
Vanilla Ice "To The Extreme"
They Might Be Giants "Flood"
The Soup Dragons "Lovegod"
Social Distortion "Social Distortion"

The Pogues "Hell's Ditch"
Pet Shop Boys "Behaviour"
LL Cool J "Mama Said Knock You Out"

Ah, the d10! While you aren't actually a true regular polyhedron, you are the only die that makes logical sense--metrically speaking. Chances are, others see you as over-analytical or a goody-goody. While that may be true, you also have a gift for patience and tolerance. Growing up you probably had a calculator wristwatch that you never really needed to use (since you were faster on your own), and you probably aced all your classes (except for gym). You use the metric system almost exclusively, but are able to quickly convert in mid-conversation for the sake of your backwards Imperalist friends. You've coded in at least two different programming languages, and have created more original gaming systems than you'll ever admit. You're generally not a show-off, but you do take pride in being called either a geek or a nerd.

Nobody would really describe me as that as I am very certain I am known for being weird and crazy.

I guess that sounds like me. :D
