Silly quizzes? Do you think that I've nothing better do do, while LJ is imploded*, than silly quizzes?

The Oracle

0% Extroversion, 100% Intuition, 27% Emotiveness, 90% Perceptiveness
Heuristic, detached, and analytical to a fualt, you are most like The Oracle. You are able to tackle any subject with a fine toothed comb, and you possess an ability to pinpoint nuances and shades of meaning that other people do not have and cannot understand. Accomplishment and realization of ideas are, for you, secondary to the rigorous exploration of ideas and questions -- you are, first and foremost, a theorist. You hate authority, convention, tradition, and under no circumstances do you accept a leadership role (although, you will gladly advise leadership when they're going astray, whether they want you to or not). Abstraction and generalities are your interests, details and particulars are usually inconsequential and uninteresting. You excel at language, mathematics and philosophy.

You are typically easy-going and non-confrontational until someone violates one of the very few principles that you deem sacred, at which point you can fly into a rage. Although you possess a much greater understanding of process and systems than the people around you, you are always conscious of the possibility that you've missed something or made a mistake. You don't tend to become attached to particular theories, and will immediately discard mistaken notions once they're revealed to be incorrect (but you don't tolerate iconoclasts who try to discredit validated theories through the use of fallacies and bad data). Despite being outwardly humble, you probably think of yourself as being smarter than most other people. That's because you are. In fact, in your dealings with people your understanding of their motives is so expansive that you know what they're going to say before they say it, and in world affairs, you usually know what is going to take place before it actually does. This ability would make you unbeatable in debates if only you were a little less pensive about your own conclusions, and a little more outgoing.

Famous people like you: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John McWhorter, Ramanujan, Marie Curie, Kurt Godel

Stay clear of: Apollo, Icarus, Hermes, Aphrodite

Not just the fount of all human knowledge, then, eh?




*The first time we got through to LJ yesterday, the message said something to the effect that they had suggered a power implosion. "Gnab! Gnab!", said [livejournal.com profile] durham_rambler. Next time we got through, they'd substituted a less interesting term.

"Not just the fount of all human knowledge, then, eh?"

But we knew this really. The human bit was just to make everyone else feel more comfortable in your presence...

Didn't work, did it?

You are not, alas, in my presence (must do something about that!).

We are all in your presence at all times. Being the fount of all knowledge involves a certain amount of omnipresence and omniscience, after all.

(Can you have a certain amount of things which are 'omni'? Well, you'd be the person to ask...)

(And, yes we must. I shall come over one evening soon.)
