Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Conscientious, Fulfilled, and Spiritual
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.
People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy) |
 You're a great thinker and a true philosopher. You'd make a talented professor or writer. |
And...
You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained |
 The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. |
Well, I don't really agree with being more one than the other. I've always enjoyed the arts as well as the sciences...
So, if you can be bothered taking the quizzes, how did you go?

tabra's LJ. Should I, a Scifi fan, admit to the fact I don't watch StarTrek and have only ever seen Eps I and II of Star Wars? Suffice to say, I know nothing about the special commander I apparently am...
"I don't believe in the no-win scenario."
What this darling little test told me was that Akkadian was a mess. Well, it was a spectacular cuneiform 'mess'. It was spoken and written in ancient Mesopotamia, mostly by the Babylonians and the Assyrians. Now, the Assyrians were a pretty large empire. In fact, it was partly because of them that my favourite culture decided to expand into the ancient Mediterranean and founded many, many colonies. So good on them.
My score on The Which Ancient Language Are You Test:
Akkadian
(You scored)
You are Akkadian, a blend of the incomprehensible symbols of the Sumerians with the unwritable sounds of the early Semitic peoples. However, the writing just doesn't suit the words and doesn't represent everything needed, so you end up a schizoid mess. Invented in Babylon, you're probably to blame for that tower story. However, crazy as you are, you're much loved and appreciated, and remain actively in use by records keepers long after schools have switched to other languages.

"Am I an optimist or pessimist?"
That's the test I just took. It says I'm an optimist, but I always figured I was an optimistic pessimist.*
What's that? you ask.
(And yes, I have put a ridiculous amount of thought into this question).
It's where I always think the best of a bad situation. In other words; I'm realistic with a hint of optimism. Because, really, if you're always thinking the worst, then how will you ever get anything done? Same if your head is always in the clouds.
So there you go, I'm an optimistic pessimist who believes that good is actually around a corner. Maybe not this one, or the next, (or the next fifty thousand), but eventually, something nice will happen. It's got to. Eventually.
Murphy's Law: "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."
