Scions of tertiary education are made, not grown, and the work therein continues to demand the majority of my waking hours.

Even as the core tasks remain predictable—I know, after all, what to do in front of a class—the periphery swipes at my expectations.

I saw this over at [info]Teacake‘s place on LiveJournal, and my curiosity was, naturally, piqued.

The text and profile under analysis belong to my old LJ entries, not to here (although they are archived here), but we can assume consistency, no?

So, harvestbird, your LiveJournal reveals…

You are…

16% unique (blame, for example, your interest in terrier grooming)

and 13% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing).

When it comes to friends you are normal. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers.

Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is intellectual.

Your overall weirdness is: 52

(The average level of weirdness is: 29.
You are weirder than 89% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!
