Oh, you'll never find the little *** when you remember to check for them. Oh no. They're crafty, and I even think they're telepathic. They're only hiding in the bed or clothes when you forget to look for them.
And then I scream, spend hours deep cleaning my room and all nearby closets, and refuse to sleep in my room for a few days. I was picking stuff up downstair a few years ago, bags full of stuff when as I grabbed for one bag, next thing I knew, wolf spider sprints out of the bag, over my leg, and into the next bag. I screamed so loudly, I woke one of the neighbors, and refused to go downstairs for a week. My friend had to come over and grab things I had left, like by school books and laptop. It was sad. ; ;
Here's a fun one!
After spending 10 weeks working on an archaeological dig out in the desert of the American Southwest, I moved into a new apartment a few weeks before the start of the next college year.
As I unloaded my apartment stuff and my field gear, I heard something skittering around on the floor. A huge, jet black scorpion had hitchhiked back to college with me. It was confused. And pissed. And when it wasn't hiding under furniture, it kept darting at my roommate and I, trying to sting our feet.
It took awhile, but I finally brushed it out into the open with a broom, and sitting there waiting on the 'dining room' table was my roommate. He introduced the scorpion to Daniel Webster and his heavyass dictionary. That scorpion got schooled.

Psy Test
Took this test, it gets kinda weird at the end but it was 90% spot on about me. I'm normally skeptical about tests like this. I mean, how can you unravel how a person is in 20 questions seems absurd. So whoever has time to take it, can you say how accurate was about you? Read, don't go clicking right away.

Wow, that's weird Amael! Some of my results were pretty accurate, like: "Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle."
But some of them were way off, such as: "Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics."
I am happy by myself with just my dog and my husband, and goodness knows I love books and puzzles. But I hate math. HATE it with a purple passion. And I think a lot of things fall into a gray area in life and are not simply black and white. That was kind of a creepy test! But kind of cool, too.

my results are exactly me, im kinda scared how accurate they are o.o
You have a poetic sensibility and an ability to see beyond the day to day. You often seem to be living in a higher realm, or to be not-of-this-earth. Occasionally you imagine interior lives for friends and associates that are near-complete fabrications based on your fears or hopes for the future. You are often not aware of your own feelings. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, and because of this are often disappointed. Despite what can sometimes be a destructive inward-turning anger, you are very gentle. You are sometimes a bit out of touch with the ebb and flow of modern life. If your behavior is out of synch with your moral values, a severe psychic disturbance can result. Because connectivity is so important to you, you can become quiet and sulky if you feel that others around do not understand your point of view.
especially the thing about imagining interior lives

especially the thing about imagining interior lives This, 100%.
EDIT: Actually, I retook it and got this:
You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. Emotionally volatile, you are known for sudden changes of opinion, of appreciation, and behavior. Following rules and established methods is difficult for you and the difficulties of higher education are usually quite daunting. Knowledge is best gained through an intimate association with the matter at hand. Usually driven by attitudes and desires of the group, you are talented in an established field of endeavor. Emotions come and go without a strong understanding of their causes. They are unexpected guests in an otherwise placid landscape. You live by your own codes of conduct, which can be noble or terrible depending on the individual. Authority is meaningless to you. You hate to be predictable, at all costs. Rarely verbally effusive, you can at times feel as if your feelings are too deep for words. You are very observant, but rarely express these observations to others.
Not sure how I feel about it... I don't agree with all of this one. I think I'm overthinking answers though, which would mess with the test. First one is probably more accurate but there's definitely aspects of the latter present.

I took that test as well, and wow. :/
You need to help others and to be thought of as a generous and kind individual. Often you are taken advantage of and regarded as simply part of the scenery. You work best when handling the work yourself; you do not appreciate a managerial role and tend to be uncomfortable in that position. Friendship is important to you, but it is generated on a personal basis, rarely a professional one. Consequently, family life is very important to you, and is often the most important aspect. Because of a strong sense of propriety however, you will sometimes consider the eccentric behavior of your friends and family as a personal affront. Often you find it difficult to speak up about personal anguish or pain, feeling instead that it is something an individual should bear in silence. Tradition is important to you, and you feel a sense of belonging when operating within the constraints of a predictable routine.

well that was a weird *** test lol but i guess this sounds kinda like me if u ignore the first few sentences lol but the thought part is something i was dealing with the other day haha
Verbally and mentally fluid, you are refreshing and illuminating to those around you. This is occasionally somewhat discounted by the obvious pleasure that you take in exercising your mental acuity. Although generally peaceful you can often take a verbally aggressive tact in relations with the world, which can often be misunderstood by those around you. Innovative in the extreme, you can often think yourself right out of the correct answer to a given problem. Many times you are referred to as your own worst enemy. You tire very quickly of routine and so make poor clerks or administrative help. You also have no respect for authority and little patience for those you regard as inferior, most especially those in charge. Experimentation is your watchword and can occasionally lead to experience for its own sake and shallow decadence. Your thought can sometimes be scattered and disconnected.

I read the blog posts behind that test and it's all rather bizarre, though very interesting. It's really hard for me to not actively think about the answer to each question though. I should probably just answer before I give myself enough time to think about it.

LOL my little sister got this result but she doesnt get it cuz it has big words lol xD
You reach out to the world and pull in experiences of all forms and kinds. Spontaneous, immediate and active, you have a natural tendency to win, whether this is in the business world or on the freeway. In the right context this can be a positive encouragement to those around you. In the wrong context it can lead to a pathetic display of ego and misplaced pride. You are always on the prowl for clues as to how to win. Usually this behavior is unconscious or playful but the sense of play can rapidly disappear if you are found to be losing in the aforementioned contest. Only those who don’t compete are met with derision. You love to be the center of attention. The moment at hand is always of prime concern. Worries about the future or the past, or abstract discussions of philosophical matters are something for others to concern themselves with. Emotions are fleeting and often used as tactics.

I don't even get what you can think about the choices don't even seem hardly related on the conscious level more of a feeling. Anyways
Handy in the real world manipulation of objects and events, you are easily enthused by practical projects. You often ignore or conveniently forget rules and boundaries that limit your freedom. This need for freedom extends even to the personal sphere and though you are kind and gentle, you will often be hard to pin down to a monogamous lifestyle. Because you tend to verbalize so seldom, you can be seen as phlegmatic or impassive. In moments of high tension you can often surprise those around you with a lighthearted or humorous remark. Because of your facility with the physical world, you are often engaged in sports that require dexterity, such as motorcycling or hang gliding. You will rarely have time for flights of fancy or unproductive discussion. Constraints on your freedom will be regarded as a personal attack.
Somewhat true... but then again there is alot of truth in alot of the other ones I've seen posted. People are too complicated not to have a bit of themselves in alot of these
Edit: Interesting just took it again and pretty sure alot of my answers were different but got the same result

So whoever has time to take it, can you say how accurate was about you? Read, don't go clicking right away. Quiet and very self-assured, you tend to keep your own council. Pragmatic and practical to a fault, you are not one to worry about the finer points of philosophical discourse. In fact, because you are very much an individualist, you often finds yourself at odds with the established truth or the wishes of the majority. You will often earn the wrath of an employer by taking upon yourself decisions which are rightly those of your manager. You are not one to take credit unless it is deserved. Similarly however, you will also not happily give credit where it is not due. In a romantic relationship you can be very frustrating. While you do care deeply and sincerely, and are willing to work at a relationship, your confidence in your own abilities can on occasion make it difficult to see the world from a partner’s point of view. Quiet and stoic at times, you can drive a more emotional individual completely up the wall. You can become overstressed and fatigued without knowing it. Taking time to rest between bouts of hard work can help to prevent a breakdown later on.
It's eerie how closely that describes me.. In fact the only thing it really got wrong was the part about making decisions that are actually my managers, which I have never done, and never would. I'm a grunt, not a leader. I do what is expected of me, and what I'm told to do (at work).
Everything else is pretty much dead on.. I should say I'm skeptical as well (which is why I posted my answer, so other's can compare it to their's) but it is kind of amazing how that thing nailed me so well when I don't even know why I answered the way I did for a lot of the later questions. I just picked what seemed right, even though neither answer really seemed right for a lot of the questions.

This is what I got:
Always happy in a crowd, you love to converse, to relate, and above all to have fun. You tend to think in a more holistic manner than many others. Like a crow you are attracted to shiny objects, new ideas, playful exciting colors and the thrill of a new personal relationship. You love to talk or gossip. You are highly invested in the reality of day-to-day life. Practicality is far more important than issues of honor or allegiance. You are a creature of the here and now. You are a natural multi-tasker, often switching mid-thought from one duty to another. You have a flair for presenting your personality in your work, and are known as a great storyteller and natural actor. You are very skilled at taking in a barrage of information and distilling what is most important from it. Naturally charming, you are quick to win new friends. Over stimulation is a danger.

Thoughtful to the extreme, you are often obsessed with perfection and the rules governing your own personal interests. Your world is black and white. You love to work within a logical system, such as language, computer programming, or mathematics. Manipulating a system that can be completely understood is a distinct pleasure to you, because of your confidence in the underlying veracity of your belief system. Because of your appreciation for logic and order, those who speak or think in a sloppy manner are apt to generate more than their share of wrath. Although very amiable, you are not drawn to friendships out of a sense of personal need. You are just as happy by yourself with a good book or puzzle. Because you are so involved with thought, you will on occasion have difficulty dealing with the day-to-day problems of a normal life. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, these are often left until the last possible moment, if at all.
i feel like it got me pretty much spot on except for the amiable part
that said i'm still skeptical, it may only have a very few descriptions, and could have been sheer chance that i got essentially the INTP variant
it may attempt to describe us in flattering terms, so that we want to believe whatever description they come up with
i'm not entirely sure, but i'm very skeptical that they could derive much information from those questions

Took it a third time, result didn't match at all. /shrug
Wonder what the basis for each result is.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
