I really like hatchbacks too. I would not mind picking up one of those new Ford Focus five door hatchbacks when my Civic is ready to retire and I can get one used.

Let's see:

• 72 Honda Civic (the blow-up kind)
• 79 Toyota pickup (1st new car purchase...repossessed when the DH didn't pay the note.)
• 78 Ford Mustang (very cool looking, appeared in Dreamscape)
• 59 Plymouth Belevedere (Push button transmission, tube radio and 16,000 original miles when I bought it in 1984. It did NOT have seatbelts.)
• 7? Volkswagen Rabbit that nearly killed me more than once, but also carried me from California to DC, so RIP Milly)
• 90 Honda Civic Si (Dexter, bought new, on my own. Perfect.)

I sold Dexter in 1995, as I was leaving the country and have not owned a car since.

I loved Belle, the Belevedere. You could sleep 5 in the trunk alone. In fact, when she broke down in the Nevada desert, I did spend the night in the back seat, quite comfortably.

That test was totally creepy. So of course I took it again and got very different results. I think the horoscope sounding results are intentionally universal and the point is the test itself being disturb-o-rama.

I stopped the test after a couple of questions because circles can't be angry and mere shapes on a screen can't be unsafe. I was going to click on all the non-vibrating, non-red shapes, then realized I was only playing into whatever cliche they were working with.

I may have over-thought it all.

I really like hatchbacks too.

Me too! A perfect human invention.

Is that a Scientology test? It seems like it is.

was thinking that too- I think the real testing might be after you contact them. And they eat your brains.

was very Scientology-esque, I think. And there was a serious amount of wrongness

Though quiet on the outside,

no

you are often the hidden hero; someone who rushes in when needed and then after the emergency is over fades back into the woodwork.

I like my accolades.

Because of this sense of duty and honor, you can also on occasion be rigid in your viewpoint and unyielding in the face of other ways of thinking.

sometimes

Usually cynical and rarely trusting of others,

Have you met others? UNTRUSTWORTHY.

you maintain a small set of intimate friends. These bonds are stronger than most.

True, but I also have larger groups of friends.

You are always grounded in the present moment.

Nope.

Your close bonds can also lead to clique-ishness and a tendency to gossip about those who are deemed less worthy.

Okay, I'm busted.

You are an integrative thinker, collecting data from a wide range of sources and applying it to your worldview.

true.

You can become overly task-oriented.

Not overly, but I am task oriented.

In stressful situations you often withdraw from the world to seek peace in contemplation.

Fair.

You often seem cold and withdrawn.

Is that the same as bitchy? If so, yes.

Often you will withdraw rather than verbalize your discontent.

Har. If I'm discontent, you know it. Well, maybe not the person, but I'm bitching to somebody .

So, accurate in some ways, not in others. Typical.

I took that test. Now my eyes are ferwonked. Eventually the throbbing flashes of light will stop, right?

That test was designed to illustrate the Forer effect. So yeah, the results do read like a horoscope; that's the point. Interesting that it's being spread around without that context, though. Where did you see it linked, ita?

What's the Forer effect?

It was on i09...or is 09? A friend linked to it from there.
