I'm #1!!!

Just kidding... I'm not, but a friend recently sent me a cute little test to try with your birthday dates. The way it works is that you take the numbers of your birthday (including the full year) and you add the numbers up until you come up with a single digit.

Turned out I was a #1, which was described as follows:
#1 - The Originator

1's are originals. Coming up with new ideas and executing them is natural.

Having things their own way is another trait that gets them as being
stubborn and arrogant. 1's are extremely honest and do well to learn
diplomacy skills.
They like to take the initiative and are often leaders or bosses, as they
like to be the best. Being self-employed is definitely helpful for them.
Lesson to learn: Other's ideas might be just as good or better and to stay
open minded.
Famous 1's are Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Hulk Hogan, Carol Burnett,
Wynonna Judd, Nancy Reagan, Raquel Welch.

Unfortunately, this is not too far from the truth. Heh...

Then my curiosity was peaked and I went out looking for some personality tests after talking with a friend of mine on the phone the other day. One of the tests she mentioned was the "Eneagram" test and suggested I try it. Well, I did and it turns out I'm a Type #1 personality. Here's a link to the description.

The thing was completely dead on. My friends who know me will tell anyone that this is me!!!! It's so eerie. Apparently, this test is based more on a person's psychological and emotional motivations. The origin is rather unclear. There is some mnetion of Kabbalah and Sufi mysticism but how you get a personality test out of those mystic traditions is beyond me!

If you're interested in the test, you can go here. It has a bunch of different personality tests to and a couple of intelligence tests.
