The Commonly Confused Words Test

Amazing! According to this test I am an English Genius. It was not a surprise to see that I scored a perfect 100%, actually, on the advanced sections. What was shocking was that I scored in the embarrassingly-low 80s on what were supposed to be the simple sections. That, and the fact that I could

The Dead Russian Composer Personality Test

Take the The Dead Russian Composer Personality Test. If I was a dead Russian composer, I’d be Aleksandr Borodin. Son of a 19th Century Russian prince and a…non-royal…mother, you went to medical school and became a biochemist. Most people, however, (and probably your twenty cats as well) agree that they’d trade all of your scientific

Art

I have to agree with Caterina: I’m not happy at all with the results of my art test.

purity

I just took The Brunching Shuttlecocks’ Ten-Question Purity Test. Here’s what it told me: Thou hast scored only 30% pure. Thou suckest in the eyes of thy Lord. Repent now or be cast into the lake of fire to whine for all eternity. So I guess that’s kind of rough.

CSS Quiz

I beat Firda‘s score on the W3Schools’ CSS Quiz Test. Heh. 85%

Emotional Intelligence

I scored a 33 out of 48 on the Emotional Intelligence Quiz. According to them, that means my “emotional intelligence appears well-developed. [I am] probably productive and highly valued.” er. Yeah. Something like that. link via weblog wannabe

bartender.live

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
