Have you ever wondered how your cat would do on a personality test? I have. So I went to the PTypes Weblog, and took the test for them. Of course, I'm not them, and they're not human, so one must make allowances for a little statistical error (click photos for larger images):
BOO is an Idealist. Idealists want to search for Self, to become themselves . . . to be self-actualized, to be and become real, to be what they are meant to be and to have an identity which is uniquely theirs . . . to have their significance appreciated, or at the very least, recognized as existing . . . to be genuine, to communicate authentically, to be in harmony with the inner experiences of self . . . to experience life as a drama, to be sensitive to the subtle gestures and metaphoric behavior in relationships, to help others become kinder, warmer, and more loving human beings, to reform the world, to romanticize their experiences, their lives, and the experiences and lives of others (Keirsey, 1984, pp. 57-66; cf., Heineman (NF)). {This is the cat that likes to play with turds.}
SPIKE is a Hedonist. Hedonists want to be free, not tied down, confined, or obligated, to do as they wish when they wish, to enjoy today, to be impulsive, to have a life of action which repudiates long term goals, objectives, or plans, to be active just to be active, to do what they feel the urge to do, to experience excitement, to be seen by others as being free to act, as free spirits, to be exciting, optimistic, cheerful, light-hearted, and full of fun (Keirsey, 1984, pp. 30-39; cf., Heineman (SP)). {This is the cat that likes to . . . um . . . play. . . with teddy bears.}

Hi! I am getting a pop-up box telling me that in order to view this page I have to fill in a password. However if I click cancel when it pops up I still get to see the page. So... if it's supposed to be there it doesn't really work. But also if it's supposed to be there, how do I get a password?

Hopefully I've fixed this -- will the next person who stops by please email or comment to let me know?
Thanks,
SB

Very cool. Cats are wonderful. We have 3 cats with distinct personalities. In fact, I've never known any two cats who had anything like the same personality. On my blog I have a category on "Cats" devoted to stories about Max, Ernest and Harry.

There can't be too many idealist cats out there, I wouldn't think. Mine is definitely a pragmatist.

Yes, I think I did a much better job on Spike's test -- really nailed him, it did.

Hee! CUTE kittens! Love the pose that Boo is demonstrating.
(ps - site working fine, SB - no problems on my end.)

Should have stopped by to say that it's AOK now - but you knew that, right?
