Your result for The Best Thing About You Test...




Courage

Courage is your greatest virtue.

Courage, also known as bravery, will and fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk, danger, and all that. "Physical courage" is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, or threat of death, while "moral courage" is the courage to act awesome in the face of opposition, shame, or discouragement. And you? You are remarkable. You demonstrate courage on all fronts. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your courage runs deepest.


Courageous famous people: Genghis Khan, The Last Starfighter, Martin Luther King, Jr.


Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.

I agree with your result. You are very courageous. A storyteller puts their heart on the line every time which takes a great deal of courage. :)

Thanks Doc! Now... if only Intelligence (44%) weren't inversely proportionate....

I think intelligence is really misunderstood. It seems as if every IQ test I've ever done has been focused mostly on math and I'm retarded when it comes to that subject. Does that make me unintelligent? :)

Agreed. Does running into a burning building make one stupid? Depends on the circumstances. And the ability to do math is something I'm not terribly good at either, whereas my brother Sam and my father can do multiple conversions in their head. On the other hand, working with spatial things, getting mechanical things to work and dealing with electrical things was my forte' and there was more than one time they would just say "Chet, fix this."

Oddly enough, I'm more one to believe that intelligence is inversely proportionate to the amount of tolerance we have for obvious stupidity. Course, I'm biased because I'm an intellectual snob. It was Einstein who once said "Genius is defined as being able to see what is obvious." Of course, what is obvious is purely a subjective view.

And, just as an impartial observer; you sometimes express a great deal of difficulty with your relationships, and a lot of depression, yet you still soldier on. I'd say courage is the quality most expressed: being always willing to keep going, and to continue to try and to grow.

Depression? You know, Maggie... that's one thing that I try not to be, but I guess I am at times. I get frustrated, I get irritated, I get downright angry, but depression is a thing that I will fervently deny I feel. Even if I do.
Of course, I can deny it till the cows come home... it's the perception that counts. And yeah, there have been more than twice when I wondered if it would stop if I just sorta went away. Now, though, I'm wondering if it would stop if "they" go away. Whatever it may be, and whomever 'they' are.

Yeah... me and relationships are sorta like Rambo up there at a tea party. It might start off interesting, but then comes the first course. Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.

Ha! I wish! No... actually I don't. Would be hard to find shirts that fit.
