Are you as sane as I am?

What does one do when their wife spends the evening setting up an online softie shop? Well… spend the evening doing online psychology tests of course!
I stumbled upon Psych Central and had a mighty entertaining hour with it’s various self-help quizzes.

To my surprise, I’m actually quite normal. The one ‘abnormality’ (or gift , depending on how you look at it) is that I score consistently as ‘Moderade ADHD Likely’ on the ADHD Test, which does explain a lot (at least I’m interesting to be around, and if my sermons don’t bore me, they won’t bore anyone ;-)

Moderate ADHD Likely

On Dr. Phil’s Personality Test I scored either ‘Lively Center of Attention’ and ‘Natural Leader’.


The Lively Center of Attention
The Natural Leader

So, to my friends in Blogland, I challenge you to do the Dr. Phil test. In the meantime, I’ll make some calculated guesses…
  • Harry Ana: Loyal Friend/Natural Leader
  • Dr. Lizzle: Center of Attention
  • Kate’s Place: Center of Attention/Loyal Friend
  • Jon Dylan: Careful Plodder
  • Lesmond J: Loyal Friend
  • Neen’s Stuff: Careful Plodder
  • Paisley Jade: Careful Plodder
  • Rachel Kate: Loyal Friend

Let me know the results.

  3. Well well well….I thought you were right with the Careful Plodder for me, but I was honest with the test and I got the Centre of Attention believe it or not. Tim did it too and he got Loyal Friend. Interesting…

  4. Wow Neen, I never would have guessed. Maybe you are a ‘Closet Centre of Attention’. Time for you to come out of the closet!

  9. With so many RYM leaders having ADHD characteristics, the future of CRF’s youth ministry can be summed up in 3 letters… “FUN”
