Facebook Quizzes

Oh, facebook quizzes. I normally have avoided them, but they seem to be very mindless when I have needed something to do to clear my mind for under what it would take me to watch an episode of "Sex and the City" or "Buffy" when I need to keep going. Its funny what some of these things can say about a person, and I am always fascinated by what people choose to put on their facebook walls. And well, there are many ways I am not too surprised, but there might be a result or two that I find pretty laughable. Maybe in the long hall, I like writing better as I can interact with this kind of material more in my own way. However, for something like facebook its fun that i can leave people guessing a little bit as to which ones of these are merely to distract my mind and which ones are pretty accurate. Yet anyone who has been following this blog might not be too surprised at some of the results I have had. I thought it would be fun to share these with you all:

Betsy completed the quiz "Are You A Fundamentalist?" with the result Liberal.

Betsy took the Which San Francisco Neighborhood do you belong in? quiz and the result is You belong in SOMA!

Perhaps you are one of the people that did well during the dot-com boom. You are highly likely to own your residence - perhaps it's a small loft near the ballpark, but that baby is YOURS. You are familiar with all the super trendy restaurants South of Market, you might have a dog, jogging down the Embarcadero is a weekly (if not daily) ritual, and you know what the season schedule at the Ballpark it directly affects you.

Betsy completed the quiz "Which Early Christian Heretic are you?" with the result Marcellus of Ancyra.
Marcellus of Ancyra (? - c. 374 C.E.) was one of the bishops present at the Councils of Ancyra and of Nicaea. He was a strong opponent of Arianism, but was accused of adopting the opposite extreme of modified Sabellianism. He was condemned by a council of his enemies and expelled from his see, though he was able to return there to live quietly with a small congregation in the last years of his life. He was accused of maintaining that the Trinity of persons in the Godhead was but a transitory dispensation. According to the surviving fragments, God was originally only One Being (hypostasis), but at the creation of the universe the Word or Logos went out from the Father and was God's Activity in the world. This Logos became incarnate in Christ and was thus constituted Image of God. The Holy Ghost likewise went forth as third Divine Personality from the Father and from Christ according to John 20:22. At the consummation of all things, however, Christ will return to the Father and the Godhead be again an absolute Unity..


Betsy completed the quiz "What Literary Time Period Are You?" with the result Medieval Period.
You resemble Chaucer, Dante, and several anonymous writers of epics. You're often read as conservative, as religious, as quaint and old-fashioned -- but you know better! Even on pilgrimages, you tell stories about chivalrous tournaments and fart jokes; your hell is cooler than your heaven, and your mystery plays double as sitcoms; and while purists quibble over the correct spelling of "judgment," you drop Latin, Greek, French, German, and more into your language, wholesale. Good job, Medieval Period! You are eormenþéod..

Betsy completed the quiz "What do your eyes say?" with the result Deep Thinker
You think deeply about things going on in the present, past, and sometimes even future. You often drift off during work or class and start thinking about other things. You always hide what your thoughts form your friends and it often takes a poke or a snap of the fingers to bring you back to reality. Your eyes often portray a different personality than you are. Your eyes are a different part of your soul..

Betsy completed the quiz "THE INNER NATIONALITY QUIZ: WHAT ARE YOU REALLY?" with the result You are German..
You are precise yet romantic, efficient yet dreamy, friendly yet somewhat suspicious of others. You rarely smile, but when you do it's very meaningful. You like it best when there is a group consensus, and yet you are easily annoyed by the slowness and/or stupidity of others. Sometimes you think that if only you could live on an island or move to some wonderful place far away where things are different, everything would be better, and if you can't realize this dream you often lose yourself in books/vacations/recipes/sports -- anything for an escape! All in all, however, you make your peace with life, and have many old friends. .

Betsy completed the quiz "Which Shakespearean Character Would You Be?" with the result Viola.
You are Viola, the disguised young lover who rightly claims, "I am not what I am." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alone in unfamiliar territory, believing all is lost, you are not the kind to give up...even if it means disguising yourself as the oppposite sex...even if it means taking a job wooing your own rival for the one you love. Witty and intelligent, you sorely feel the irony of your situation, but your honor compels you to carry through. Will true love conquer all? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shakespearean kindred spirits: Rosalind (As You Like It), Portia (the Merchant of Venice), Imogen, Perdita, Antipholus of Syracuse, Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet .

Betsy completed the quiz "Which decade are you?" with the result 1940s Glamorous Revolutionary.

You are a hard worker and are always looking out for others. Your style centers around clean lines and timeless designs. Women in the 40s had the same sense of pride in their bodies and dressed in a way that accentuated their figures! You are not one to stand by and let things happen to you, you go after what you want and you are respected and admired for it! .

Betsy took the What kind of historian are you? quiz and the result is Gender Historian
Learning about the past through facts and quantative data is all very well, but for you, like Catherine Hall, or Leonore Davidoff, the real stuff of history is to be found in relationships, and where better to start than the fundamental social relation: the battle of the sexes? Women have been written out of 'HIS-story' for centuries, and gender historians, following on from their polemicist predecessors, the feminist historians, attempt to balance the scales by stressing the importance of the relationship between the sexes, and how the one cannot be defined by the other. This is important work, but recently, many gender historians have taken a new direction in their work, choosing to embrace the tenets of post-structuralism in order to problematise the concept of gender as pre-set, choosing to present it instead as fluid and culturally defined. Have a look at the work of Judith Butler if you want to explore new concepts.
