Sometimes I forget who I am. But not in a Lifetime movie kind of way.

As I have mentioned a time or two, I work a retail job with somewhat long, variable and unpredictable hours.  I am also a Mama to two wonderful boys, both under the age of 4, and wife to a wonderful husband, who occasionally also behaves as though he is under the age of four who is the love of my life.

All these things, coupled with a house, a car or two, and a desire to occasionally sleep make it hard to remember ME, sometimes.  What I like.  My hopes and dreams.  You know, all that new age-y crap that is designed to help "find yourself."

So, I thought, what better way to find me again than by taking an internet personality test?

Obviously, these things are 100% accurate, right?

So anyway, I answered a series of questions and truthfully as possible, clicked the little "Submit Answers" button, and got this:

You are a cautious realist.





  • Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function,
     and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST.




  • Routines are reassuring to you—you feel safer and more at
    ease when sticking with familiar things.




  • You like to stay close with those around you, seeking
    comfort from familiar faces.



  • You are interested in processes—how things work, what
    they do, and why—not just how things look.





  • Sometimes you doubt that you can find solutions to
     problems, although you have a good sense of why things
    happen, and can use that knowledge to find the best way
     to do something.


  • You are down to earth, concerned more with practical,
    detail-oriented things than with dreamy or ambiguous ideas.




  • You have a good sense of your abilities and weaknesses,
    and don't let your ego get in your way.



  • Your independent streak allows you to make decisions
    efficiently and to trust your instincts



  • You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving,
    not letting your emotions hold you up.




  • You much prefer to have time to plan for things, feeling
     better with a schedule than with keeping plans up in the
     air until the last minute. Your decisions are well thought
    out, and you're not the least bit impulsive.



  • Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy
    clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach
    to getting dressed.



  • Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that
    external forces only play a limited role in determining what
     happens to you.



  • Being independent, practical, and somewhat guarded with
    others makes you CAUTIOUS.



  • You tend to keep to yourself, wary of trusting others with
    personal information.


  • The values that you hold are central to your identity—
    you are a very principled person.



  • You have respect for the natural order of things, and
    a good sense of right and wrong.



  • Investigating the world through observation, as opposed
     to interaction, is preferable to you.


  • You have an appreciation for those who have attained a
     certain level of accomplishment, particularly the rare few
     who have succeeded honestly.


  • You are efficient—when you work with others, you get
    down to business, and fulfill your obligations.




  • You sometimes wish that others would be more like you
    —less hindered by their emotions, more respectful, and
    more private.




  • Ok, so basically, I am an OCD, non-risktaking, boring, poorly dressed, emotionless, unfriendly, stubborn, brutally honest control freak who really shouldn't leave the house much.

    Well, I coulda told ya that.
