The Spark is back in my life

Way back in my college days,* I was minorly obsessed with The Spark and all of its amusing tests. The Spark was all but gone from my world until yesterday when I noticed SparkNotes at the Barnes and Noble. SparkNotes are like Cliffs Notes; if you're too lazy or don't understand the original text, you pick up some SparkNotes. Well, seeing the SparkNotes got me thinking... Could all of those fabulous tests still be floating around the Internet? I googled The Spark and learned (1) that Barnes and Noble now owns SparkNotes and (2) the tests are still alive! My favorite test was always The Personality Test** so I decided to take it again to relive my glory days. Here's what I found out!

You are an Activist!
(Dominant Extroverted Concrete Feeler)

You are an ACTIVIST (DECF)— motivated and righteous, you feel the need to change this harsh, horrible world we live in. The world would be your oyster, if you weren't 27% likely to be vegetarian. Anyway, you are forceful and outgoing, so you enjoy interacting with other people and are willing to aggressively pursue your goals. If you are male, you are probably thin and lanky, just because that's what activists look like. If you are female, you probably wear thick-rimmed glasses and tight clothes *or* some kind of hippie outfit.

In more general terms, you are driven much more by emotion than logic. But because of your ideals, you are more interested in real-world results than abstract conclusions.

Advice from us: Make sure you listen to your opposition. Don't hasten to attack different ideologies. This will also help your relationship with your friends.

I also learned the following fun facts (my comments are in bold). Compared to 14,971,192 other test takers...

• 82% are more Submissive than you. 8% are more Dominant than you. 10% are just as Dominant as you. Whoa! I'm dominant. I guess I knew that already though.
• 72% are more Introverted than you. 14% are more Extroverted than you. 14% are just as Extroverted as you. Knew this already, too.
• 55% are more Abstract than you. 24% are more Concrete than you. 20% are just as Concrete as you. What am I supposed to get from this? I'd like to think I'm a happy medium.
• 35% are more Thinking than you. 54% are more Feeling than you. 12% are just as Feeling as you. Again, happy medium. Excellent...

Time to take another test. Now, should I take The Wench Test or The Messiah Test? Hell, I'll take both!

** This test is much like the Myers Briggs test, which I also love to take. The Personality Test used to say, "You could be Madonna." That was awesome!
