I'm not surprised by this result. If you're curious about whether or not you fall into the ADD spectrum, click on the graphic to take the quiz. Realize, of course, that this is hardly a professional diagnosis.

Friday Meme

I haven't done one of these silly memes in a while, but this one proved fun and reassuring on a dreary Friday. Give it at try. Given the poor performance of so many Americans on history, math, and geography questions, I'm not surprised that some of these might prove difficult.

Thursday Meme: Has American Culture Ruined You?

No surprise here! I'm off to Virginia and the Red States tomorrow. Pray for my soul in case I'm ambushed by either a right wing militia or wandering band of pentecostals.

You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture

You're nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all. You have a broad view of the world, and you're very well informed. And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn't?), it's not your primary influence. You take a more global philosophy with your politics, taste, and life. And you're always expanding and revising what you believe.

Here's another fun quiz. And no surprise at the result for me.

Your Brain is Orange

Of all the brain types, yours is the quickest. You are usually thinking a mile a minute, and you could be thinking about anything at all. Your thoughts are often scattered and random - but they're also a lot of fun! You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about esoteric subjects, the meaning of life, and pop culture.
