Your Score: Haughty Intellectual

You are 100% Rational, 28% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant.

You are the Haughty Intellectual. You are a very rational person, emphasizing logic over emotion, and you are also rather arrogant and self-aggrandizing. You probably think of yourself as an intellectual, and you would like everyone to know it. Not only that, but you also tend to look down on others, thinking yourself better than them. You could possibly have an unhealthy obsession with yourself as well, thus causing everyone to hate you for being such an elitist twat. On top of all that, you are also introverted and gentle. This means that you are just a quiet thinker who wants fame and recognition, in all likelihood. Like so many countless pseudo-intellectuals swarming around vacuous internet forums to discuss worthless political issues, your kind is a scourge upon humanity, blathering and blathering on and on about all kinds of boring crap. If your personality could be sculpted, the resulting piece would be Rodin’s “The Thinker”–although I am absolutely positive that you are not nearly as muscular or naked as that statue. Rather lacking in emotion, introspective, gentle, and arrogant, you are most certainly a Haughty Intellectual! And, most likely, you will never achieve the recognition or fame you so desire! But no worries!

To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

Compatibility:

Your exact opposite is the Schoolyard Bully. (Bullies like to beat up nerds, after all.)

Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Hand-Raiser, and the Robot.

Paul Kimball has tagged me with a meme about books. Although I generally detest anything that smacks of a chain-letter I kind of like the idea behind this one so here goes…

1. One book that changed your life?

I’d have to say The Bible. Growing up as a fundamentalist Christian, The KJV Bible was my only guide to judging myself and the world around me. Needless to say…OUCH! Even my current secular humanist perspective is largely informed by, and a reaction to, my early brush with the sort of intolerant and ignorant religious perspective that was foisted on me as a child.

2. One book you have read more than once?

The Lord of The Rings

3. One book you would want on a desert island?

A desert island survival guide of course! Duh! Otherwise, I’d have to go with The Lord of the Rings.

4. One book that made you laugh?

PJ O’Rourke’s Eat the Rich

I don’t agree with all of his jaded conservative politics (in fact, I’m not sure he agrees with all of it either) but it’s definitely funny stuff!

5. One book that made you cry?

I have no problem crying while watching movies but I can’t think of a book that has made me cry.

6. One book you wish had been written?

This is an easy one:

The Middle-Aged Guy’s Guide to Becoming a 16 Year Old Female Super Model

7. One book you wish had never had been written?

Well, Paul already chose Mein Kampf so I’m going to have to go with any or all of the books in the Left Behind series.

8. One book you are currently reading?

Leaving Earth by Robert Zimmerman.

9. One book you have been meaning to read?

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn

I started this one during my last vacation to Germany but got side-tracked on my return and haven’t picked it back up…yet!

You know who you are! :-)
