Hardly a surprise. Now I can reinact "The African Queen" all by myself. Where'd I leave my gin and malaria tablets?

Your result for The Classic Dames Test...

Katharine Hepburn

You scored 10% grit, 48% wit, 38% flair, and 14% class!

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Your result for The Classic Leading Man Test...

Humphrey Bogart

You scored 29% Tough, 24% Roguish, 29% Friendly, and 19% Charming!

You're the original man of honour, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armour...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.

Find out what kind of classic dame you'd make by taking the
Classic Dames Test.

is lazy, primarily. This quiz thinks otherwise.

( cut for length )

Irritatingly the quiz (as with so many) doesn't make it easy to find out what the other results might mean. Luckily I went here instead and got the dope. I'm not sure why I show up as Verbal when I scored as high in Naturalistic intelligence (and higher than most unlike the Verbal result). I'm not sure I believe in Naturalistic intelligence, however, so perhaps it's for the best.

Your result for The Doctor Who Companion Test...

Captain Jack

You are Captain Jack - handsome, charming and always in the right place. The girls (and boys!) just can't seem to get enough of you. The Doctor can't get enough of you either, as you always seem to turn up just when the time is right. You've taken and dished a few beatings, stayed until the bitter end, and always manage to get out of trouble when it suits you. It's almost like you have a knack for being in the right place at the right time.

Still, you've made some stupid decisions in your time, and The Doctor isn't likely to let you forget them. In fact, despite your worldliness and age, you still can't seem to keep up with The Doctor as fast as some of his other companions. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Your result for The Time Travel Test...

The Prototype

29% Practicality, 57% Mutability, 0% NaziLoving Wuss, 85% Woowoo?

Your time machine is the Prototype.

You don't know how it works. You barely even think you know what it does. You haven't the faintest clue how to operate it. But you're going to have fun finding out! For you, time travel is all about experimentation. Paradoxes aren't dangers to watch out for: they're challenges! And you're up to that challenge. So what if you wipe out a few universes on your quest for knowledge? You can't make a time-omelet without breaking a few time-eggs!

irishkate has links to two interesting quizzes up at the BBC's Human Body and Mind section of the Science and Nature site. The first looks at our ability to discriminate genuine from fake smiles, the second our ability to recall faces we've seen and how lack of sleep affects our temporal recall of faces.

Not sure how seriously to take the results though. Either that or I'm a lot less sleep deprived than I thought I was.

(18/20 smiles, 100% recognition, 87% temporal recall)

puritybrown has a lovely post on 'things you don't know about Ireland. I saw it first at my lovely wife's LJ, where she had picked it up from

irishkate.

I suppose that round of gossip-like spreading of the meme says something about Ireland too.

And I still think it's funny to try and convince USAn tourists that leprechaun is pronounced lePROOshun.

You paid attention during 100% of high school!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Inland North You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

Some of you may know that I did grow up (a bit) in the US, half San Francisco, half Chicago, so there may be some merit to this result. On the other hand I bet my accent is a lot more "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" than most Great Lakes folk, and I never call carbonated beverages "pop". They're minerals, silly. Or possibily "fizzy drinks" when I wish to communicate with my wife.

You Are a Centaur

In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person.
However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways.
You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order.
You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily.

You can still hear reasonably well and you can play this without my old fart colleagues hearing it which makes you feel kinda good.

Here is a Distorted Tunes Test, courtesy of the American Nation Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders. I stumbled across it on the Mind Hacks site.

I'm quite chuffed that I scored 25/26. It bugs me that I don't know which tune I got wrong.
