Off The Wall

Yet another online personality test ... Generally, I agree with what it says re me.

Hmm... Not sure if I like to be known as "Impulsive and off the wall" though... Anyways, the link is below....

Impulsive? Hmmm. Methinks they are confusing your propensity to go with the moment as opposed to presumably making so-called snap decision. I don't ever remember seeing you make one of those.

Yeah I tend to agree with you, Steve. Although I do remember heading home from Nortel (in Ottawa) one late afternoon after a challenging day and suddenly finding myself on my way Montreal for a rib dinner at Bar b Barn. This would be one of those good snap decisions!

These online tests are always so dependant on how you feel at the time of taking them... But I take them occasionally in the interests of fun and possible insight / validation.
