That is, I am a "Wacky Rational Constructive Leader" according to this quiz which I found via Mess of the Damned. (Any quiz which gives Mike Hendrix the result "Sober Emotional Destructive Leader (not Follower, Leader)" has got to be trusted!!)
So I am Wacky and I am also Rational. That pretty much sums up my inherent contradictions.
Here is the description of WRCLs - it made me laugh:
You are a WRCL--Wacky Rational Constructive Leader. This makes you a golden god. People gravitate to you, and you make them feel good. You are smart, charismatic, and interesting. You may be too sensitive to others reactions, especially criticism. Your self-opinion and mood depends greatly on those around you.Posted by sheilaYou think fast and have a smart mouth, is a hoot to your friends and razorwire to your enemies. You hold a grudge like a brass ring. You crackle.
Although you have a leader's personality, you often choose not to lead, as leaders stray too far from their audience. You probably weren't very popular in high school--the joke's on them!
You may be a rock star.
I'm apparently a hippie: "Your politics are left-leaning, and your lifestyle choices decidedly temperate and chaste."
Yeah. That's me.
Posted by: Emily at July 21, 2004 03:50 PMHmmmmm...I suppose I can see it, even though I can't stand the guy:
You are a WRCF--Wacky Rational Constructive Follower. This makes you Paul Begala. You are unflappable and largely unconcerned with others' reactions to you. You were not particularly interested in the results of this test, and probably took it only as a result of someone else asking you to.Posted by: Dave J at July 21, 2004 03:54 PMYou have a biting wit and intense powers of observation. No detail is lost on you, and your friends know it--relying on you to have the facts when others express only opinions. You are even-tempered, friendly, and educated. Foolish strangers may mistake your mildness for weakness--they will be surprised.
You entire approach to life is enviable. You will raise good kids.
LEADER. I was a Sober Emotional Destructive LEADER.
Actually, the very first word told me it wasn't too accurate. In my case, anyway. Sober...not if I can help it, bub! ;P
And, Em - ahh, never mind. I ain't touching that one.
Posted by: Mike at July 21, 2004 03:55 PMDaveJ: Yours makes me laugh out loud.

Paul Begala!!

Posted by: Dave J at July 21, 2004 03:59 PMMike:
My deepest apologies. Of course you are a Leader. Of course. You could lead me anywhere, my friend. :)
Dave J:
If I have any good looks at all, it is merely because Claire did it.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 04:00 PMOnly 6-8 comments to make this about "The Breakfast Club"; that's probably a record.
Posted by: Dave J at July 21, 2004 04:01 PMNever mind "temperate," Sheila. That "chaste" crap is down-right offensive.
Posted by: Emily at July 21, 2004 04:04 PMWEDF - a menace to society.
"To your friends, you are a source of relentless entertainment. You often get into trouble, but you almost always find a way out. You are strangely popular and feed off others' energy. You live hard, seize the day, and although your more sober friends would like to see you settled down, you generally have fewer regrets and better memories than they do. Your tenet is that, at the end of the day, one regrets only what one didn't try. You are right."
Dan -
Your last week of blog posts prove that you are definitely a WEDF.
Sounds like such a BLAST. Milwaukee is so interesting, so fun.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 04:12 PMEr..thanks.. I think. Not sure how menacing I really am though.
But Milwaukee is a very cool town. I'll be returning, since another trip to Chicago is in order since the Bunny has never been to Wrigley.
Posted by: Dan at July 21, 2004 04:18 PMDan ... oops. I really meant to say that it was the "seize the day" part of your personality described in your result ... not the "you are a menace to society" part.
:)
I lived 3 blocks away from Wrigley Field for one unforgettable year. Have a drink at the INSANE Cubby Bear right across the street from Wrigley for me!!
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 04:23 PMThanks, I'll remember that recomendation. This time we visited the Billy Goat. A very interesting afternoon there.
Posted by: Dan at July 21, 2004 04:51 PMYou are a WEDL--Wacky Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you an anarchist. You don't give a damn. When push comes to shove, you just forget about it--it's just not worth the heartache. What this means for others is that dealing with you can be aggravating, because they find they can't get you motivated about things they care about. What this means for you is that you are happier, calmer, and saner then they are on their best days.You are near-immune to criticism, and those who know you well acknowledge and respect that. You may come across as lazy, but the truth is that you find little to get worked up about. Regardless, you have slews of friends, because they are fascinated by your world view, jealous of your lifestyle, and drawn to the fact that you are hilarious to be around.
You are a pillar in a sea of hot-bloodedness. You have a sweet tooth.
Well, they're right about the sweet tooth anyway. And now, I have an Austrian Archduke to deal with....
Posted by: Mark at July 21, 2004 05:53 PMDamn, Mark. I want to be WEDL too.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 05:56 PMDan:
The Cubby Bear is basically an enormous room, lined with massive windows looking out at Wrigley Field - and they have huge TV screens - and it is usually filled with drunken Yahoos and the floor is perpetually sticky.
Just so you know what you would be getting yourself into.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 06:01 PMThis test...
The first time I took it I was a golden god (WRCL), the second time I was an evil genius (SEDF), which is the completely opposite end of the spectrum.
Now I'm just an SCCI (Self-Contradictory Confused Individual)
