Apparently I’m a Consumate


You have a Consumate relationship style

You have a “total relationship” with your partner that comprises all aspects of love. Your relationship is very passionate and romantic, you have a great deal of intimacy and are able to share every feeling and idea with your partner, and, what’s more, you are genuinely committed to this relationship in the long run. This is the kind of relationship that most people would only dream of having. You must be very happy… Congratulations!

AND YOUR BIG 5 PERSONALITY TRAITS ARE

  • Neuroticism: You are balanced, somewhat emotional, and adjusted. When you are worried or irritated it tends to be for a good reason. You can be anxious about things that matter and your worries usually have a purpose (e.g., they help you prevent problems). At times, however, you find it hard to suppress your negative feelings.
  • Extraversion: You are extraverted, energetic, dominant, confident and outgoing. You enjoy being the centre of attention and are very talkative. You like meeting new people and talking about yourself. You are generally high-spirited and find it difficult to be alone. You tend to be fun-loving and talkative. You also have a shorter attention span than most people and are quite impulsive. You are a morning rather than evening-person.
  • Openness: You are relatively open to new experiences but not that desperate for novelty. You are interested in finding out about the world and other people but there are things you would never do because they defy your values and principles. You enjoy some forms of art and like some unconventional things but are generally represented by the mainstream. You are not too conservative but not too liberal either.
  • Agreeableness: You are warm, altruistic and friendly. You tend to be modest about your abilities and achievements. You follow rules and conventions and don’t like upsetting people. You care about others, even if you don’t know them, and can easily sympathise with people. You are also politically correct and prefer to avoid conflict. Confrontation is not your thing. You are modest and unselfish and try to be on friendly terms with everyone.
  • Conscientiousness: You are proactive, responsible, and self-motivated. People know you are reliable and dependable. You strive for excellence and are driven by status, goals and target. You are generally focused on your goals and willing to work hard to attain them. You are well-organised and work efficiently. You are methodical and prefer to always plan ahead. You don’t like leaving things till the last minute and are self-critical if you do not achieve your goals. You prefer to avoid risks. You have a reputation both for your work ethic and for being conscientious.

What book are you?


You’re A Prayer for Owen Meany!

by John Irving

Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire
faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest
this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking
moment, and you prepare with great detail for destiny fulfilled. When you speak, IT
SOUNDS LIKE THIS!

Everybody needs a hero

Your results:
You are Hulk

You are a wanderer with amazing strength.

Click here to take the “Which Superhero are you?” quiz…

David was a hero. So was Sampson. Israel was waiting for a hero of that ilk to show up and wrest control from the Romans and back into Jewish control.

Jesus was not that hero.

We’ve grown up on superhero stories. In the nick of time Superman, Spider-man, Batman, Wonder Woman et will show up and save the day. But isn’t it easy to be complacent knowing the hero will always show up just when things get sticky? Because life isn’t like that.

And do we wait for Jesus to be our superhero? Do we still mis-judge Him, waiting for Him to show up in the nick of time and sort out all our problems? I know I do.

But Jesus isn’t the alter-ego, pants over his tights type of hero. He is our hero, but flash, bang, kazoom isn’t His style. He’s already saved the day. He died for us, He made things right in His death. Sure He has ’super powers’: He’s God! It’s the Holy Spirit who enables us to do, to be our own heroes.

We have our hero, but He’s more the enabling, encouraging type. He gives us the power to be heroes, because we couldn’t do it without Him.
