It’s been a pretty rough week for your humble blogger — actually it’s been a pretty rough month, not counting a welcome and very enjoyable visit last weekend from Cranky Robert. I’ve had lots of late nights at the office recently, followed by soul-searching train rides home, surrounded by the oddballs who ride public transit after the regular commuters have all gone and wondering just which decisions brought me to this place where I so often feel like I have no life. I don’t even feel like I have much of an online life, anymore — it seems like forever and a day since I wrote anything on this blog that was really worth reading. Or since I’ve done much of anything else that truly matters. Did you know I used to write fiction once, about a thousand years ago in the Before Times? I like to think I was fairly good at it, too…
In any event, this self-pity party is explanation as to why my blogging lately has consisted primarily of memes, lolcats, and girlie pictures, and why you’re getting yet another quiz-thing today instead of something more substantive. And this background may also explain why I found the results of the quiz — which I’ve seen at Puffbird’s, Kisintin’s, and Ilya’s blogs as well — somewhat baffling. I don’t think of myself as much of an optimist even in my happiest moments, which this bleary-eyed morning definitely is not…
Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test…
HBPS – The Optimist
Humanity, Background, Big Picture, and Shape
You perceive the world with particular attention to humanity. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on humanity, you tend to seek out other people and get energized by being around others. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

What do you folks think? Sound anything like me?
I got The Commander. True to ETS, we only differed on detail vs. big picture. But the whole thing feels like BS to me; I way prefer nature to humanity. People generally suck. Cranky Robert has spoken.
Eh… if you think you’re gaining actual psychological insight from these things, I have some lovely waterfront property to sell you… in Phoenix.
But wait, there’s no waterfr–
Oh.
