The Golden Compass Daemon Test (Actually quite good)

[nightning]

Independent Soul

Hmmm a very INT description. I guess an owl or a snow leopard is alright.

 

[Numbers]

Compared to other takers

You scored -7 on Extroversion, higher than 23% of your peers.
92/100 You scored 9 on Sensitivity, higher than 92% of your peers.
61/100 You scored 9 on Openness

Shy Loving Soul

You are a sensitive and shy person. You want to be loved and liked, but you don't think people actually like you very much, and that hurts to think about. You like to be with your family and friends, who care about you. When you are with them, you can open up and talk and be yourself. Among strangers, however, you are nervous and tend to clam up. People are often surprised at how talkative you can be once they get to know you, because you appear to be so quiet and bland at first. You hide your feelings from people whom you do not know well, because you don't know if you can trust them. With your loved ones you can be more yourself.

Your feelings are easily hurt, and you tend to be easily embarassed. You are sensitive, and your loved ones may even tease you about being a little TOO sensitive at times. When your feelings are hurt, you don't always let on. You don't like confrontations, and you are not the sort of person to throw a melodramatic hissy fit. You just tend to fret over it for a few days, until eventually the misunderstanding is cleared up, or time heals the wound.

Your daemon would represent your shyness and sensitivity, and your love of family, and your tendency to hide your feelings from strangers. He or She would probably hide in your pocket or sit on your shoulder where he/she would whisper comfort into your ear.

Suggested forms: Rabbit, Dormouse, Dik-dik, Sighthound

 

[Totenkindly]

Komodo Dragon.

Okay, that's creepy.

No "play toothing" for you guys, that drool kills!

 

[INA]

How adorable!

 

[dyspraxion]

3/100 You scored -18 on Extroversion, higher than 3% of your peers.
38/100 You scored -7 on Sensitivity, higher than 38% of your peers.
1/100 You scored -20 on Openness, higher than 1% of your peers.

Quiet Loner Soul

You are a quiet, solitary kind of person. You probably rely on your few close friends or family members to get you out of the house occasionally, or you would probably forget to leave. You don't like big crowds of people, or being in new social situations, because they make you feel uncomfortable and you get tired very quickly. You need to spend some time alone in front of a computer, book, or television to recharge after expending all of that social effort! You have a lot of personal projects that you like to spend time working on.

You don't spend much time talking about yourself or your emotions. Your close friends and family probably have to try and remember to ask you directly about your feelings, and even then you probably just smile or shrug a lot of the time. People who don't know you well probably forget that you even have emotions at all, because you never get angry or upset. Really, though, you just don't think of your emotions as being important. It doesn't even occur to you to call someone and complain about your day, or to retaliate when someone insults you. You march to the beat of your own drum, and you don't really care that much when other people think. You are calm and logical in nature, and reacting emotionally to things simply doesn't come naturally to you. Perhaps you have been hurt or embarrassed in the past, which makes you afraid to share your feelings. Or maybe you are just naturally that way.

At the same time, you are not uncaring, and you are aware of the feelings of other people around you. When a close friend or a family member is going through a rough time, you are sympathetic and probably wish you knew how to make it better.

Your daemon's form would reflect your solitary, calm, logical nature, but would not be aggressive or intimidating in appearance. He or she would probably spend time talking to you constructively about how to solve problems, or simply watching over your shoulder while you indulge in your hobbies.

Suggested form: Lizard, Gecko, Manatee, Tree Kangaroo, Grass Snake.

Here's a tree kangaroo:

<3

[lastrailway]

Distant Loner Soul

A confident and independent person, you are logical and probably very intelligent. Some people think you are a little cool and unemotional, just because you don't prattle on about your feelings all the time like some people do. Outbursts of either anger or joy are both rare for you: You try to keep yourself under control at all times. You tend to deflect any really personal questions with a joke, an overly-literal reply, or even an out-and-out lie. Your few friends and your family probably wish that they knew you better. You probably wish they would just leave you alone.

The thoughts and opinions of other people don't hold much sway over you. You don't spend time agonizing over other people's feelings, and you don't much care what people think about you. Sometimes your insensitivity can hurt people's feelings, but that's their problem. If someone didn't like you, you wouldn't lose much sleep over it. You march to the beat of your own drum, and if your friends and family think you can be a little odd... well, that's their issue.

You are an introverted person, disliking crowds and strangers. Some people might think that you are shy, but really, you simply find parties and crowds to be unpleasant and tiresome. You get exhausted quickly when you are forced into social situations, and you need some time to yourself to recharge afterwards. You don't like noise and chaos. You like to keep things calm and logical.

Your daemon would represent your cool, unruffled, solitary nature and would probably spend a lot of time comparing you favorably to the people around you, or helping you work out logically complex problems.

Suggested forms: Octopus, Manta Ray, Shark, Boa Constrictor, Komodo Dragon.

Heh, I think I've taken too many personality tests and now they all seem similar to me, questions, results, everything.
On a side note, I remember vaguely the book and the daemon stuff, but cannot really remember what the book was about. What was the book about?

I was curious to see what a Dik-dik looked like, and I found this:

 

[miss fortune]

Bold and Brash Soul

You love to be the centre of attention. You are a confident, laughing, and sometimes stubborn person with an ever-growing circle of friends. You love to be out and doing things. Too much time at home alone results in you feeling stagnant and listless. A good night out with a bunch of friends will soon return you to full spirits, however.

Your friends are important to you, and you love to add new people to the bunch. You love a good laugh, but the soppy sentimental types sometimes accuse you of being a little callous. You just ignore those people. You don't really care what they think about you, anyway, and it's not worth getting emotional over. You probably just brush these people off. They aren't worth your time.

Your close friends sometimes wonder what is under that extroverted, active exterior of yours. You don't intend for them to find out. You feel very uncomfortable with emotional discussions, and your friends are for fun, not for sharing feelings with.

Your daemon's form would represent your outgoing, fun loving nature, and your dislike of showing "real" emotions. He or she would probably be as much of a clown as you are, and wouldn't try to make you share your feelings. Instead, he or she would be likely to simply give you an unsympathetic kick in the butt when he/she thought you needed it. If you did want someone to talk with, however, he/she would be there.

Suggested forms: Goat, Peacock, Muskox, Sparrow.

You scored 16 on Extroversion, higher than 92% of your peers.
13/100 You scored -15 on Sensitivity, higher than 13% of your peers.
5/100 You scored -11 on Openness, higher than 5% of your peers.

great, so I'm an insensitive, emotionally closed off extrovert- I hear that all the time in real life, so I guess the internet is catching up with me now!

Yeah thanks.
Real sweet.

 

[Valen Banpaia]

Independent Soul.

You are calm and logical, but not unemotional. You are an introvert, at heart, preferring to read alone than be subjected to the crush and noise of a big party or bar. You have a few friends and family, whose presence you welcome - to a point. Even they can wear on your nerves eventually, and you need to retreat back into your personal space for a while so you can recharge. Your energy comes in bursts, after which you need a long nap or a couple of evenings at home to recuperate.

You are comfortable with yourself, and reasonably confident. You want the friendship and goodwill of others, but you are not willing to sacrifice your principles in order to get it. If your close friends need something that you can provide, however, you will be the first to offer it.

You are a good and sympathetic listener, and are aware of your friend's emotional states. With your very close friends, you will open up, but rarely - you don't like to burden people with your problems. At the same time, though, you are honest and are not willing to alter the truth for the sake of convenience. Among strangers you are reserved, and may resort to making jokes to disguise your true feelings.

While you are not afraid of conflict, you do not seek it, either. When you are hurt or insulted, you feel that you have a choice to make. You can choose to take the up on it and defend yourself, or you can let it pass. Your decision may depend on how well you know the person, how personally you take the insult, or simply what mood you are in that day. Your friends may not always know how you are going to react, for that reason. Whatever you reaction, though, you will be logical, rational and unnervingly accurate: a measured strike.

Your daemon's form would represent your calm, introverted nature, your cool logic, and your impatience with crowds of people. He or she would probably whisper ironic comments in your ear, give logical advice and try to hide his or her soft side from everyone, even you.

Suggested forms: Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Snow Leopard, Siberian Tiger, Osprey.

 

[ragashree]

86/100 You scored 13 on Extroversion, higher than 86% of your peers.
76/100 You scored 3 on Sensitivity, higher than 76% of your peers.
31/100 You scored 0 on Openness, higher than 31% of your peers.

Regal Soul

You love to be around people. Without them, you would wilt and fade away. Too much time alone leave you feeling listless and sad, but a good night out with your buddies puts the spring back into your step. You make friends easily, because you know how to adjust your behaviour for each person. With a rowdy, loud, social type of person you can be rowdy, and loud, and social. With a timid and mousy person you can be quiet and sensitive. While you have many friends and many faces, you have an inner circle of friends and family with whom you can truly be yourself.

You are a natural leader. You tend to be calm and rational, and it is rare that you get angry or upset. Often, when someone accidentally hurts your feelings, you will smile and pretend not to be bothered by it, because you want to project a positive, self confident image. You pick your battles. When someone does cross the line, they are often surprised at the sudden strength of your defensive attack. On the rare occasion that someone evokes anger or tears from you, it seems to them that this storm burst from clear blue skies.

Your daemon would represent your social, outgoing nature, your adaptable presence, and your tendency to hide your sensitive spots from strangers. He or she would help you mold yourself to every variety of social situation, being calm or playful or frightening as each situation demanded. When alone together, he or she would be someone whom you could share your real feelings with.

Suggested Forms: Lion, Orca, Chimpanzee, African Elephant, Goldfinch


Wha-aaat? How in God's name did I get a higher extraversion score than 86% of people? *shakes head in bemusement*

 

[wanderlust]

Solitary Trickster


You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge.

You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance.

With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge.

Your daemon would represent your secretive, shy nature, your dislike of conflict, and your ready ability to defend yourself or your friends, should the need arise. He or she would probably stick close to you when you felt nervous or uncomfortable, and provide you with humorous commentaries to keep you smiling.

Suggested forms: Coyote, Fox, Raccoon.

Aw, I would love a nice fox!

 

[cascadeco]

The Honest Soul.

You are a talkative, open kind of person. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you trust people not to break it. In a way, you are as honest and trusting as a child. You are comfortable with who you are and have a strong sense of self, but you are also a little sensitive. Hurtful remarks, especially from people whose opinion you value, have the power to wound you terribly.

You tend to be open about your thoughts and opinions, and you find it difficult to hide your emotions from people. You like to share your thoughts, opinions, and emotions with people, and to hear theirs in return. When someone disagrees with you or offends you, you will take them up on it, whether they are friends or strangers. You don't mind a friendly debate, but become upset when things get hostile. You wish that people wouldn't take everything so personally, but simply think calmly about things.

You have a close knit group of friends and family for whom you would sacrifice almost anything. You don't like big parties full of strangers - you would rather spend your time with the people whom you really care about. You need a private spot where you can retreat when the world gets to be too much, but you want to be able to emerge from your "den" and find your loved ones there to heap love and affection upon you.

Your daemon would represent your loving, open nature, and he or she would probably spend a lot of time encouraging you to be independent and to do the right thing.

Suggested forms: Dog, Otter, Marmoset, Saw-Whet Owl, Songbird, Chinchilla.

 

[Nat]

Shy Friendly Soul

You love to be with big groups of people, but you are very shy. You love to be surrounded by people, while you sit and listen to all the chatter. When you are left on your own you just tend to fade away.

Because you are so shy, you tend to silent and quiet in new social situations. You wish that you knew how to start conversations, or joke with strangers, but you are afraid of saying or doing something stupid that would make everyone laugh at you. When you are with your loved ones, though, you simply blossom. With them you can chatter away and talk about how you really feel. Your favourite kind of social gathering is full of people whom you know and trust, rather than a bunch of strangers who might judge you.

You are much more likely to become visibly upset when a close friend casually says something hurtful than you are from a direct attack from a stranger. You hate confrontations, but with people whom you are close to, you can show your true feelings. People who don't know you well often don't realize how easily your feelings are hurt. You may hide your embarrassment behind jokes and laughter. Your close friends know that your self esteem is actually quite low, and are more careful to tiptoe around your feelings.

Your daemon would represent your shyness around strangers and your love of spending time with your friends and family. He or she would probably hide behind you or in your pocket when you were in strange situations (while whispering encouragement) and become active, happy and talkative when alone with you or when you were surrounded by your friends.

Suggested Forms: White Tailed Deer, Rat.

[JRT]

Jokester Soul

You are a confident person with a strong sense of self. You can be loud and jocular, and you don't really care who hears you. You don't spend too much time stressing about how other people see you. If they like you, well, good for them. If they don't like you, well, that's their own problem.

People need to earn your respect in order for you to really start taking them into consideration. You might bend yourself over backwards for a friend or family member, but you aren't going to give that sort of special treatment to any old Joe Blow. Your loved ones know that under that bold, brash exterior, there is a person who is loyal and even clannish at times. You will fight to defend your friends and family from any and all comers. With these special few, you drop that joking exterior and be your real self.

Your daemon's form would represent your confident ways, your joking and insensitive manner, and your secret tendency for softheartedness. He or she would probably help you criticize all the idiots whom you meet on a day to day basis, and back you up when you are on the defensive.

Suggested forms: Magpie, Raven, Kangaroo, Wild Boar, Baboon.
