I'm 50% bogger - how about you?


Image by Jason Tammemägi

The email I got today very much amused me. A spreadsheet seeing how much of a bogger you are. I'm not at all ashamed of my rural background, but the questions really hit home:

  • Have you seen "Ear to the Ground" more than 3 times?

  • Have you ever heard the death notices on radio?

  • Have you ever used the phrases "Jaysus" "By god" or "Oh Lord"?

  • Should Blackie Connors have got an Oscar?

  • At any stage during the summer can you step out your door and get the smell of freshly spread slurry?

  • Have you ever taken fresh eggs from under a hen?

  • Do you only have RTE1, NET2, TV3 & TG4 or less on your television?
and then my favourites - the real telling ones:
  • If by choice you could marry a local would you do so?

  • Would it be desirable that he/she was an only child to a wealthy farmer?

  • Do you know who Miley is?
and the real real test:
  • Do you ever look up in the sky when you hear a helicopter?
Brilliant! You can download it here (Excel File, 26k) - let me know how you get on. :)

Personality tests taken to the next level

According to my VisualDNA™ I'm a go getting escape artist love bug apparently!

Way back in the day I remember a certain delight in those emails that you'd fill in honestly from 1 to 52 with your colours and so on and then scroll down to see what they meant.

Then came the online tests, which had a certain appeal for me but I could never find a good one I agreed with (or was happy to share with anyone else).

And today I've tried this test and got my results. Not a bad summation and fun to do as well.

Given all the recent talk about online profiles damaging career prospects, I hope this personality test just highlights my good points (assuming I have any at all...)
