Category XI - The Quidnunc

Though you don't fit in, and your social graces are sometimes lacking, people like you because you have all the information.

Yeah :cool: that's me.

Though you'd be welcome in most groups, you prefer a more solitary path.

Category I - The Hub
You're a 'people person'. Networking runs in your blood. Consequently, you can move through most social circles with ease.

Me, too. I guess we're just a couple of social butterflies. :smile:

You have a small, highly edited social group, and you like it that way.

I'm a Musketeer as well, Moonbear. They're exactly right.

I have a very small, highly edited social group, that will last as long as each of us live, and I like it that way. I am really friends with everybody, though there are a small few that do not like me because of who I am. People can depend on me, I give more than I take, but I get more than I can give. I like all kinds of games, and am funny, smart, and interesting. I prefer non-fiction books. I am not a frat-boy. Is that all the questions?

Apparently nothing since it appears to be the same for all types.

No, the label points to a different spot for each type, but I still don't think it actually means anything. You just have to have a graphic of some sort. :smile:

I bet when it says Average Joe, that just means it couldn't place you in a category.

Oh, yes, you're right, I didn't notive the little pointers. Well, there you go, it's obviously significant. :biggrin:

Ok, everyone go Smack the Penguin

Well, we didn't answer those questions quite the same...some must be weighted more than others to get certain categories. It's pretty accurate for me. Once I'm friends with someone, I'm usually friends for life, even if I don't see them more than once a year (I keep moving, and so do they). I'm still best friends with two of my grade school classmates, even if we're totally different (they're the weird ones, honest o:)) and only see each other once every few years. I have lots of "acquaintances," but that's not the same as friends to me. And I do like it that way. It's too much work to keep up with too many people, it's much easier to have a few really close friends who you don't need to explain everything to, they already know. :smile:

I don't like going to parties or social events, such as movies without being friends with them. I don't really care about my acquaintances, its kind of a "I give you something, you give me something later" relationship, and they are expendable. I would betray them in a second for something :devil:

REGULAR Joe! I am not average. Sheesh. :-p I got bored after the first question and just kinda picked whichever. I did like several of the quotes though (the last question).

:smile: Regular Joe...that means you're not decaffeinated, right? :biggrin:

Lone Wolf? Whatever.

Funny, I just tried to sleep but gave up after about 20 minutes. Now I'm thinking about making more coffee. :bugeye: Hmmm...

I mixed up the words "decaffeinated," and "circumcised" my whole life. You can see where it has gotten me.
