Addendum to my previous personality quiz: I took Experimental Psychology as my major at university and love it. I am now also on my way to being a published review writer in a journal in that field, apparently. I like to observe people and think about them and part of my person-driven motivation is that arm of it.

That being said, Ileia, I read your post and get a strong feel that you're a little ways along the autistic spectrum- not to the point of having the condition, just a little closer to that end than the average. But then again you're on a forum dedicated to a computer-based pasttime based on a narrow interest field, so perhaps it's no surprise and please don't take it badly of me to say that :p

This thread is starting to remind me of an old thread I made on the oooooold OT forum about whether IQ was meaningful or not. Good times, I think I'm going to go dig that out...

Autism? I think that's a bit extreme. Like I said, I was just extremely introverted and I decided to change it.

That's because you have lupus.

I told you before Todd, you can't diagnose me! You know me too well!

I think it's time to bust out the fMRI.

To reiterate the point of my post:

Everyone is some degree of autistic; it's defined as a spectrum of behaviours which is characterised by a very complicated and intricate set of conditions. Some arbitrary line in the sand has been made to say "here's Asperger's" and "here's autism" but everyone is somewhere. Some of what you (and a few other people in here) rang familiar with my considerable experience of the condition. It doesn't A) mean anything B) meant to be insulting/upsetting/definitive/uncalled for and C) doesn't make any difference anyway. To be honest it was just a vein of my inevitably curious mind and big mouth (well, fingers in this case) getting carried away and I apologise for it.

Um.. I'm a neat freak. Usually it bothers people but w/e.

I organize just about everything.

I avoid large crowds. (I think I’m claustrophobic but I cant prove that.)

I drink a lot and plan on dying from a liver disease. :up:

I don't want kids. :nono:

I'm a writer. (2 novels in progress.)

I'm usually shy at LARGE parties.

I ride/work on Superbikes. (Current bike is a 2007 Kawasaki 650R)

I get annoyed easily. (usually around dumb people, I cant help the fact that I'm smart and they aren't. Does this make you angry? Guess you consider yourself dumb then.)

I want the simple life in a small town with a girl who enjoys most of the things I do. Wanting the simple life describes my personality by itself, I'm not all that outgoing/active most of the times.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

You seem to think I was offended. I wasn't offended, I just disagree.
