It’s Friday

so, it’s time for a quiz. Apparently I’m the most abused form of punctuation around.


You Are a Semi-Colon


You are elegant, understated, and subtle in your communication.You’re very smart (and you know it), but you don’t often showcase your brilliance.Instead, you carefully construct your arguments, ideas, and theories – until they are bulletproof.You see your words as an expression of yourself, and you are careful not to waste them.

You friends see you as enlightened, logical, and shrewd.

(But what you’re saying often goes right over their heads.)

You excel in: The Arts

You get along best with: The Colon

What Punctuation Mark Are You?

    Apparently, we’re compatible:

    You Are a Colon

    You are very orderly and fact driven.
    You aren’t concerned much with theories or dreams… only what’s true or untrue.

    You are brilliant and incredibly learned. Anything you know is well researched.
    You like to make lists and sort through things step by step. You aren’t subject to whim or emotions.

    Your friends see you as a constant source of knowledge and advice.
    (But they are a little sick of you being right all of the time!)

    You excel in: Leadership positions

    You get along best with: The Semi-Colon

    What Punctuation Mark Are You?

    And I’m over here laughing hysterically about the “Leadership positions” statement - which couldn’t be more wrong.

    So this must be why we always got along well- I am a colon, too. I feel that the “brilliant and incredibly learned” part is a bit generous towrds me, though!

    I came out colon as well, which is nice as far as getting along with Ms. T, but yeah, the leadership thing doesn’t really fit me either.

    I’m apparently a question mark.

    Well I knew I wasn’t an asterisk. ;-)

    My results were quite consistently a colon.

    I did it three times with slightly different by always appropriate responses to the quizz questions.

    First I was a comma, but it said I like people and am enthusiastic and optimistic and shit. So I went back and changed to some other answers I had contemplated and now I’m a question mark. Much better:

    You ask a lot of questions, collect a lot of data, and always dig deep to find out more.
    You’re naturally curious and inquisitive. You jump to ask a question when the opportunity arises.

    Hahahaha collect data.

    My husband is a colon. Orderly and fact driven. They haven’t seen his desk though. :-)
