Font Me

Sorry I'm late posting today; my guy hurt his foot and naturally I'm the family nurse. While I'm off pampering my poor love and running him to the doctor, here's an online typography quiz you can take to find out which typeface best suits your personality.

My results:



Interesting. I would have picked something old-fashioned, like Courier New, so maybe it even fits. I just checked the blog template and I'm using Verdana for PBW's text, but I picked that because from my POV it was the easiest to read.

What typeface did you get? Let us know in comments.

True (or Untrue) Self

Gerard over at The Presurfer linked to an online quiz here that is supposed to reveal your true self. At my age that isn't much of a mystery, but I went ahead and took it anyway. Here are my results:



I had to chuckle over the very exciting life bit. Are writing and quilting and cooking exciting? I must have missed that memo. I'm not especially social, so it is hard for me to connect with people in real life. With my guy, our kids, the dogs and PBW in my life, I'm rarely lonely. As for my heart being broken lots of times, sure, but the alternative is never to love anyone or anything, and that I can't do.

Entitled

How well do you remember famous book titles? Take this online quiz, fill in the word missing in the title, and find out.

My results:



What surprised me is how many titles of books that I haven't read that I remembered -- about half of the quiz, actually -- which goes to prove that a memorable title sticks, even when someone doesn't read it.

How well did you do? Let us know in comments.

Hidden (or Not)

Everyone is supposed to have a hidden talent, yes? If you've always wondered about yours but aren't sure what it is, take this online quiz to find out.

My (not very surprising) results:



I don't think I'd be covered in paint, but my clothes might be.

So what's your hidden talent? Let us know in comments.

Doc Doc Goose

Can the internet guess how much formal education you have? Take this online quiz (without cheating!) and find out.

My results:



You can call me Dr. PBW if you want, but alas, not even close. I never enjoyed anything academic, regularly skipped school, spent much of my educational years in detention or the Dean's office, and usually pissed off nearly every teacher who ever had the bad luck to get me as a student.

How schooled are you? Let us know in comments.

In Internet Years

Can someone tell how old you are by how you use the internet? Take this online quiz to make BuzzFeed guess.

My results:



Twelve years off, I'm afraid (you did not realize I was all of 29, yes? Ha.) So how old are you as an internet user? Let us know in comments.

Ban Me Baby

Which banned book are you? Take this online quiz from Columbus State Library to find out.

My results:



So I'm a Utopian parody written by a smartass pacifist. Sounds about right.

Why should we ban you? Let us know in comments.

Cafe Quiz

How addicted to coffee are you? Take this interesting online test and find out. My results:



I figured I'd be more of a social coffee drinker; would be another story if we were talking tea -- I probably drink at least a gallon per day of the leaf. So how much of an addict are you? Let us know in comments.

Math Under Pressure

Take this online quiz to find out how well you can perform simple maths under pressure. My results:



I don't know that I'd call the math involved especially simple as the time calculations nearly did me in a few times. Post your results in comments and let us know how you did.

Under Pressure

Can you write proper English under pressure? Take the online test here.

My results:

Fine with Will

I took the How Long Would You Survive After the Apocalypse test and discovered I'll probably make it for a while after:



This also gives me an excuse to tell a true story: my daughter actually met Will Smith some years back during a school field trip to Disney World. The actor was there on vacation with his kids, and still took the time to stop and talk to my daughter and her class and answer some questions. We didn't know about any of this until she mentioned it during dinner that night, and I didn't believe her until I asked her teacher, who confirmed the whole thing. So if I'm going to be like any celebrity, I'm absolutely fine with Will Smith.

How long will you survive after the Apocalypse? Take the test and post your results in comments.

Added: Broken link for the test has been fixed -- apologies for that.

Who Plays Me?

Answer nine questions in this online quiz and you'll find out which actor would play you in a movie. Here are my results:



A bit young and far too pretty to play me, I think, and I don't know what that dream unicorn ref means (which proves how old and unhip I am.) So who plays you? Post your results in comments.

Talk Like a . . .

Answer an easy 25-question quiz about how you pronounce words, and the New York Times will show where you most fit in dialect-wise on a U.S. map.

I took the test, and here are my results:



How accurate is the test? Well, in my case, 99.9%. As a young kid I lived about three blocks south of Pembroke Pines, and later spent much of my teen years in Fort Lauderdale. I'll guess the Jacksonville crept into my speech patterns when I was a young adult and commuted there for work for several years.
