Confirms what I knew before: I like new experiences as long as they won't cause me physical harm, and I'm not easily bored.

Also, the question about gay people made me sad. :( Just the idea that people could consider actively seeking/avoiding "homosexuals" makes me sad. You should actively seek out cool people, and avoid jerks. Sexual orientation doesn't matter.

damn... I'd hate to see what I would have scored 5 years ago when I was in my wild child phase :laugh:

Actually, there was a blurb about that. Sensation-seeking rises in the teens and peaks in the 20's.
Then it starts to decline as one ages.

The Firecracker... Yeah I scored somewhat low on blue despite being so close to NF typologically, but yes I still get a shiny type


The place is crawling with SP half-breeds. Be afraid, be very afraid.

The boredom, disinhibition and experience results are probably true. I tend to get bored all of a sudden, at the same time. Thrill seeking seems high to me.

yeah... I was reading a lot of the questions and thinking "should I answer those for the present, when I DON'T party, or in the past when every day was a party? :thinking:"... I'm still up for crawling through a nice cave though :cheese:

:cheers: to the days when the idea "it would be hell to get through a work day hungover! :horor:" wasn't a concept! :laugh:

I was social chair of my fraternity 2 years straight... and that's still a record :cool:

I was completely insane when I was 20. I flipped a car on its hood, 360'd another one in the middle of the freeway, beat some guy over the head with my purse when he tried to snatch it, drank too much, and yelled at people whenever I felt like it.

This was balanced by periods of reading, hanging out quietly, and taking walks down to the park. Otherwise I'd probably be dead.

I can see you beating a guy over the head with your purse! :laugh:

I thought I would score higher. A lot of the questions were "should people" or extreme to one side or the other, so I am not sure how accurately I answered. The real answer is that I love new experiences, but I usually don't seek them out or know where to go looking for them. That's why I've dated a lot of EP guys.
