‘Person’ality Dis’Order Test !!!!!!!!!!!

Though my job has nothing to do with Software testing, load testing, stress testing, black-box testing, white box testing, gorilla testing……, I often try to outsmart Google’s Servers, but I know success is a distinct dream….

Considering the number of fools who try to achieve the impossible, a new term has been coined by Google called Google Whacking.

On my way to achieving the impossible, I stumbled upon a site called http://www.4degreez.com/, which has a computerized test for people who suffer from personality disorders. Though I don’t consider myself affected, I still decided to go ahead and take this test, because of the only reason that I was labeled as a geek/nerd by a few of my friends. (For a non-technical guy everything on this planet is geeky)

With soaring confidence I went ahead and took this test, which I recommend each one of you to take it too here.

After a series of embarrassing, stupid, Unethical questions I finally had my results thrown up on the screen.

After the results, I was wondering if I should have taken my English classes more seriously in school/college.

However thanks to Google and a few online dictionaries, I quite some how managed to unveil the hidden mysteries within myself.

Maybe, I took my friends words too seriously………… Or may be he should be taking me more seriously after seeing the results……

PS: I didn’t want to take a gamble by putting up the original result here…..

When cupid strikes disaster

Epilogue

Now having committed a cardinal sin of starting a blog, which requires me to whip my brains (which have been rusty for about years now) in order to post something new. Thanks to the pathetic hits on my blog page, and the few readers who make a mockery out of my posts. I have started to realize that I am by no means a born blogger, and the amount of brain whacking I need to put in to compile a single post, might have earned me a seat in the IITs/IIMs

Well, what inspired me to start a blog of a this kind??, Well having been studying the password characteristics (be it email/windows logon passwords) of my friends and colleagues, (either by peeping over the shoulders, or installing key-loggers), for sometime now and started to wonder why ……... most people stop changing passwords ever since they fell in love for the first time ever. (Nope, I am not into net-forensics or cyber security, nor I am a phisher)

Over a period of 5 year, ever since the days of my graduation I happen to be very close to people who have transformed from sensible/logical individuals to stupid/senseless ones. Yes, Love is a victory of imagination over reality, especially when things are one sided, I always wondered what is it, that creates an delusion which makes the college’s most good looking female stare at you.

I failed miserably inspite of my continuous efforts to convince many of my friends, that when a Girl says “No”, it means a “No” in contrary to the myth that Bollywood has imbibed in most of us.

“I just cannot imagine my life without you………” is quite a monotonous quote often said with utmost loyalty and sincerity. Each one of us is unique in our own ways, and finding a partner for oneself is not as tough as matching a DNA specimen, The whole concept of “Marriages are made in heaven” doesn’t sound too genuine to me, as I certainly believe that the god almighty has better things to do, than fixing up a Abhishek- Aishwarya wedding.

Why is that we choose people as best friends for life in a matter of days/months and take years/ages to choose someone special, or perhaps wait for the almighty to fix up a date.

Reminds me of my ex-colleague, who still believes that the crush he had in college 4 years ago, is/was/would be the only girl in his life, and has completely given up on the idea of marriage.

The crux of this post being, “Be Loyal to your partner in a relationship, not outside it”

I know more than a couple of people who just like many people in their early thirties struggling to find a right match and often having to compromise on lot many things, the right age for marriage is altogether an different debate, which I will surely be touching upon in my next blog.

Most of the people I have come across suffer from the First-Love Syndrome; ask a guy who has been ditched more than once, about life beyond First Love.

It’s easier said than done; arguably it is very difficult to come out of a break-up, especially if it’s been your first one.

There is a first time for everything any anything, your first love, the first job, but there is life beyond every first……………, but how you overcome it, is the big question, unfortunately there is no single common solution that is applicable to every individual.

Or may be Microsoft/Yahoo/Google should be bringing in stringent password policies.
