STRENGTH as the Result of Which Major Arcana Tarot Card Are You? | Quizfarm.com | and Quibblo - THE WORLD at Quiztron THE SUN at Quizilla

2010-07-17T03:18:00.000+02:00

I enjoy taking these quizzes as a form of relaxation, sometimes, and since someone in my environment discussed Tarot cards today, I thought I would look up the online quizzes and came upon the quiz at Quizfarm.com - quite good by the questions asked.

My Arcana Tarot Card result is STRENGTH (I had to amend the quiz code here because it was not rendered properly in the original embedded code).

You Scored as VIII - Strength

Strength is not just physical strength, it also means emotional and spiritual strength. It is the Strength to do what you know is right in the face of opposition. Strength to defy convention and authority. Stength does not have to be used directly. It can be inner strength that supports one in the face of attacks on what they hold dear. The person of Strength remains true to their beliefs. In a Tarot reading, this card can indicate overcoming of obstacles and refusal to be beaten down. If badly aspected this card can indicate loss of faith, failure of Will.

VIII - Strength - 88%

XI - Justice - 75%

II - The High Priestess - 75%

XIX - The Sun - 69%

IV - The Emperor - 63%

XIII - Death - 63%

I - Magician - 63%

VI - The Lovers - 50%

0 - The Fool - 50%

X - Wheel of Fortune - 50%

XVI - The Tower - 44%

III - The Empress - 38%

XV - The Devil - 13%

That result - I admit to immediate surprise at this corroborating result - was confirmed by the same result on a completely different set of questions at Quibblo:

Which Tarot are you - Part I : Higher Trumps

Strength

This not physical strength, but personal mental and emotional strength. This resembles someone who is confident, proud, stable and sound of mind. Someone who thinks and speak assuredly, but no arrogant, someone who is well control of their feelings and emotions, and stands up for their beliefs.

At Quiztron, my card was "THE WORLD":

The World

Integration-Accomplishment-Involvement-Fulfillment.

You are a happy, fulfilled, trustworthy person, or at least want to be one. The world and anything in it can be yours, just as long as you believe in yourself. It seems quite simple, doesn't it? To hold the world in our hands, we must give ourselves to it.

At Quizilla:

Your Result

You are The Sun. Brilliant, radiant, shining. You are the glory of light.
You have total confidence in yourself. You see and understand all.
You are The Sun, your light and warmth comforts all.

Well, I was a bit taken aback by that. A bit overdone. You want to keep things real.

Andis Kaulins "Personal DNA" - Not Genetic, but Personality

2008-03-19T17:50:00.004+01:00

"Personal DNA" from www.personaldna.com has an excellent personality test, which we took, coming out in the results as a "freewheeling director". The results are quite accurate and it is a good bit of fun, especially since one can print a customizable T-Shirt afterwards with the resulting color grid and text.

Free-Wheeling Director

"You are a Director

As a DIRECTOR, you combine an unusual openness and passion for beauty and style with confidence and a down-to-earth sensibility that allow you to realize your vision.

You are practical and pay attention to the details that others tend to miss.

By focusing on what is real and concrete, you achieve more than those who always have their heads in the clouds.

When it comes to what really matters in your life, you are confident in your ability to succeed.

Having beautiful things in your life gives you pleasure and satisfaction - you have a keen eye for style.

Even when problems present themselves, deep down you know you will overcome these challenges.

When routines get too familiar, you become bored and start looking for ways to spice things up.

You are open to new types of experiences – you are not afraid to take a risk on something new.

You have a highly developed sense of taste – you know what looks good on you, in your home, and in the world at large.

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

You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.

The control you feel over your life is empowering to you-- you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don't really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.

If you want to be different:

Occasionally let yourself dream a little more, even if it doesn't seem practical or efficient.
how you relate to others

You are Free-Wheeling

Your charismatic nature, liveliness, and independence make you FREE-WHEELING.

You don't mind being in the spotlight, preferring social gatherings to quiet nights at home.

You take a practical approach to people, not getting too involved in their feelings—or their business.

At the same time, your acceptance of others leads you to be understanding of their life circumstances, even if you don't quite understand their emotional reactions to some things.

Although you have a wide circle of friends, you're very discerning as to whom you can trust.

You're not rigid in your beliefs about the world, and you don't want to impose your perspective on others, but at the same time, you know that plenty of people don't always act responsibly.

Engaging with others is a large part of how you live in the world, and most importantly, it plays a role in how you see yourself—you tend to learn a lot about yourself in situations where you are with other people.

You have an understanding of the complexities of situations, and you don't judge others too hastily.

If you want to be different:

Your open-mindedness about the world gives you a great perspective on things, but your lack of trust in others limits how close you can get with them. Try opening up to people a bit more without losing your healthy skepticism.

While being the life of the party will occasionally come naturally to you, be sure to reserve time for yourself—see what you can learn by spending some time observing the world rather than just by diving in."

Here are my Test Resultsfor the Myers-Briggs Personality Test in 2004:

"

ENTJ - 'Field Marshall'. The basic driving force and need is to lead. Tend to seek a position of responsibility and enjoys being an executive. 1.8% of total population.

UPDATE November 23, 2006

At similar minds I took the Myers-Briggs-Jung test nearly 3 years after the foregoing test, with the following result:

ESTJ - "Administrator". Much in touch with the external environment. Very responsible. Pillar of strength. 8.7% of total population.

Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)

The tests are different, though not that far apart. One could be mellowing with age.

UPDATE: December 9, 2007

After another year, we see that the basic ENTJ personality has remained, here as "Chief":

Various tests with uploading and direct linking of photos are being conducted here.

Large vs. Small still does not give the original size of the picture and the clicked link to the blogger storage for a pic gives a .jpg reather than the original uploaded .png file, i.e. Google does an automatic conversion to .jpg which reduces the resolution value of uploaded files:

Blogger resizes large photos automatically to smaller jpgs and even if you try to make them the right size by entering height and width parameters, the photos are ruined. People do not want their graphics resized. Whoever thought that they did?????

Blogger, BloggerBot, Hello, Picasa, Direct Linking, Picture Uploads for Blogs

This is a test of whether photos embedded into another blog using Picasa can be accessed directly by another blog. If so, a selected photo of Andis Kaulins from AK Photo Blog should be found below:

So, this works but is limited to .jpg images only, which is not very useful.

The rich-text menu of the Blooger editing page allows the posting of up to 300 megabytes of pictures in JPG, GIF, PNG, TIF or BMP format. These pictures can also be directly linked (i.e. posted), but only in other Blogger BlogPost.com pages. Here we upload a GIF format file of our book Stars Stones and Scholars:

Our results showed these three strongpoints:

C. 9 Sage. You have a curious, critical mind that wants to be stretched and disciplined. Devote time to study, discussion, debate; test out the limits of your thinking.

K. 9 Creator. You have a strong need now to express your creativity and imaginative potential. Find an art form and practice getting good at it. You may not be Picasso, but you do have a vision. Now is the time to encapsulate it in tangible form.

L. 9 Ruler. You are drawn to power and responsibility and want to be respected and admired. Now is the time to claim your authority and be willing to take on, and fulfill, important responsibilities.

Strong Bad at HomestarRunner

2005-03-15T01:23:00.000+01:00

via Clive Davis (and he via Captain's Quarters) I was led to this mad site
which drew rave reviews at Wired some time ago

it may be that everyone knows this site already and that i have just run across it a bit late

at first, it looks like a child's site,
but look at the sb mails and you will see differently (see also some clues at the comments to Captain's Quarters)

Or just take the Quizilla test before and after....

You are StrongBad. You hate everyone, especially
HomeStar. Your e-mails and prank calls are
hilarious. You're my favorite character. You
try to be evil, but sorry, being shirtless with
boxing gloves just isn't scary. Don't worry
what everone else thinks because hey, they are
all "crap for brains".

Golf Tips from the King Of Aces Mancil Davis

2003-10-27T11:50:00.000+01:00

Mancil Davis, the King of Aces, is called the official world record-holder for holes in one (50) and double eagles (10) on this page, although Norman Manley is said to have made 59 "aces", including 4 in 1979, but little more seems to be known about his feats.

Mancil Davis has made a hole in one with every club except putter, PW and SW with the longest hole in one being 379 yards and the shortest hole in one being 124 yards. In 1967 he had eight aces and
in fact three aces in five days in June of that year.

What is his secret? Here is what he says:

"BE THE BALL

Picture in your mind's eye the entire shot from start to finish, with the desired result firmly implanted in your mind. With that result still pictured, step up and fire away. Visualize in vivid color the image of the ball falling into the cup - or picture the flight of the ball to the desired spot."

WOW. Is that all there is to it?

In other words, VISUALIZE your shot in each case, as if it were a short putt into the hole. Then Concentrate ONLY on the target.

Listen, could this be the key to better golf on EVERY shot?
