<h3>Quiz Culture</h3>

<p>MySpace... promotes silly quiz taking...</p>

<div style="border:1px solid black;background-color:white;color:black;text-align:center;">
My score on <a href="http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9935030990046738815">The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test</a>:<br /><br />
<span style="font-size:18pt;font-weight:bold;">Pure Nerd</span><br/><span style="font-size:12pt">(60 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 26% Dork)</span><br /><br /><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/users/104/656/10465692962375378952/mt1124997268.jpg" /><br /><br />

<div style="text-align:left;padding:10px;">For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

<p>You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.</p>

<p>The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendencies associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.</p>

<p>Congratulations</p>

My score on <a href="http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=8115472531704248346">The Lover Style Profile Test</a>:<br /><br />
<span style="font-size:18pt;font-weight:bold;">The Exotic Lover</span><br /><span style="font-size:12pt">(50% partner focus, 38% aggressiveness, 55% adventurousness)</span><br /><br /><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/users/104/656/10465692962375378952/mt1125085294.jpg" /><br /><br />

<div style="text-align:left;padding:10px;">Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:

<p>You prefer your romance and love to wild and daring rather than typical or boring, you would rather be pursued than do the pursuing and, when it comes to physical love, you concentrate more on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about your performance.</p>

<p>This places you in the Lover Style of: The Exotic Lover.</p>

<p>The Exotic Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and conjures images of the exotic, romantic hero out of a romance novel, or perhaps a slightly dangerous and deadly sexy femme fatale from a noir mystery. The Exotic Lover loves pleasure and is a treasure to date, though it can be difficult to do so because they sometimes tend to be mysterious and reluctant to commit.</p>

<p>In terms of physical love, the Exotic Lover can be quite surprising, as they are often more exciting and adventurous than predicted. Given a little freedom, and the right lover, the Exotic Lover can be a delight in bed.</p>

<p>Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Liberated Lover (most of all) or the Devoted Lover, or the Romantic Lover.</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>

My score on <a href="http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=17325897279428986557">The 4-Variable Buffy Personality Test</a>:<br /><br />
<span style="font-size:18pt;font-weight:bold;">Cordelia Chase</span><br /><span style="font-size:12pt">(45% amorality, 72% passion, 36% spirituality, 36% selflessness)</span><br /><br /><img src="http://is3.okcupid.com/users/104/656/10465692962375378952/mt1123888942.jpg" /><br /><br />

<div style="text-align:left;padding:10px;">Cordy is one of those characters who's sometimes misunderstood. True, you have a healthy self-interest, and an interest in the finer things in life, but that doesn't mean that you don't have a heart of gold and a bit of passion in your soul.

<p>In later years, Cordelia proved just how loving and good a woman she was, and (whether man or woman), I suspect you're kind of like her.</p>

<p>Congratulations!</p>
