my daemon

I found the below quiz via POC's blog. Now I'll warn you that this is advertainment, but it's beautifully done. It's also for a trilogy I have not yet read, but which I've just ordered from Barne's and Noble. So, in a way, the advertainment worked on me.

Whether you choose to be sucked in or not, take a look at the match below. I'm VERY curious whether or not the people who actually come her and know me believe the statements to be true, so I've left it unlocked. If you have an extra minute or two, please click and tell whether you agree that I'm modest, shy, assertive, etc.



While I think some of it is true, there's an issue. Like many tests of this nature, I second guessed every question. For instance, when the quiz asked if I believed in FATE I had to contend with the fact that I do believe certain events are slated to happen. That said, I also believe that we have the power to change our interpretations and involvement in those events. In some cases, I believe that extraordinary individuals can cancel the events out alltogether. In retrospect should I have said solidly that I believe in fate? or was my neutral answer more accurate to my belief that we can effect change? (and I do mean effect, not affect there)

The one question I know the answer was 100% true to was the one that inquired whether or not I asked a lot of questions: I strongly agreed that I did. Anyway, the quiz will lock itself in twelve days. I'm curious to see what shifts occur during that time as the 10s of you out there let me know what YOU think I am.

So what was your daemon originally? On my blog you said you didn't get a tiger, but it was a tiger when I got here, and still a tiger after I answered the questions. I guess you're a tiger after all.

And how did you get Voltina as a name? Did you just get assigned that? I got a feminized version of my own name, and assumed that was what they did for everybody.
 
Here's the odd thing. I was originally a Gibbon, then directly after I posted, I turned into a Mink or something like it, but the attributes were the same as the Gibbon. (I don't like that they don't give you exactly what the animal is, because it could've been a fox. I'm not a biologist!)

Anyway, now I'm a tiger too!
 
For the record:
Gibbon
Jackal
Tiger
Jackal
Lynx

(although there was a good 15 hours today when it could have shifted from Jackal to something else before settling on Lynx)

Pantheon here.
 
The books are actually pretty interesting. I am re-reading the first one in anticipation of the film. The series is quite the indictment against Christianity. Fun read, a little problematic. I've only taken the test once and I also got the tiger. I'll have to try it again.
 
Hi Mike,
Cousin Barbara here from Moscow. Been trying to contact you by e-mail but it's not working, so I hope you get this. I'm a mouse, btw. E-mail: barbara.spier@alliepickfords.ru, hope you'll get in touch!!!
 
Cousin Barbara!

I've been trying to email you, but the address you gave keeps bouncing back as incorrect. Please let me know the correct email. Thanks!
 
For anyone keeping track, I seem to have settled into a tiger. Having read the trilogy now, I can safely say that's not a bad thing though perhaps I'm a bit fiercer than I imagine myself.

Series well worth it, though not as heretical as I expected.
