Personality Test

Introspective Sensitive Reflective
You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.

Priorities

What if Socrates were to drink from the Fountain of Youth rather than the prison-issue mug filled with hemlock? Would he quiver and retreat from his beliefs before the Grand Inquisitor? Be willing to loathe himself in order to stay alive and revel in his newfound vanity? Only the feather that is lost makes the ink-well active and creates the ability to create.

Toil


A man stumbling through the dark night visits the outhouse of his soul. His hands stained with chocolate-coloured mud tells the toil of his working day. The flask he drinks from electrifies his dull spirits. He is sorry for this. He is sorry for his family waiting at home.

Tangible delights

A butterfly haphazardly weaves through the flowers. Carefully zoning in on it, I cup my hands and it's captured. My palms feel it's heart beat, scared at the prospect of being killed. Just then a unicorn nudges through the forest. 'Why not me,' he asks with a candid expression. My hands spread out like bat's wings and both the unicorn and butterfly vanish.
