While French breakfast is certainly delicious and definitely the best sort of breakfast in the world ( I'm only half joking ), allow me to describe in two short sentences both of the Vampire clans I just mentioned : The Tremere are former mages who gained immortality ( read became vampires ) through a sort of magic ritual and they're also the only clan to know the secrets of Thaumaturgy ( basically the power to manipulate blood ) . The Malkavians on the other hand are vampires suffering from Insanity which can take many different forms. Anyway, I realize you're just as confused as before ( if not more ) but what can I say, I just love this setting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I kind of forgot to comment on my result from the previous test. I find myself in a similar situation to Spork in that said result is pretty accurate and seems to touch on things that other tests I've tried only sort of hinted at. My façade of logic and orderliness hides someone with a very sensitive soul. Both the flaws and strengths mentioned in this profile are once again surprisingly accurate. Impressive test to say the least, especially given the fact that it only had twelve questions. This next test is rather intriguing both in terms of the questions it asks and some of the answers that you can choose from. I'm still not sure what any of it means ( that's pretty much how spork must feel about my previous explanation ) but the result I got is kind of what I expected, not much surprise there unfortunately. The Fate's Companion

Anyway, I realize you're just as confused as before ( if not more ) but what can I say, I just love this setting. You better be joking, nothing can beat a full English breakfast. You haven't lived until you've nibbled on a massive curly Cumberland sausage first thing in the morning... Thanks for that explanation. It's so much clearer now, although I don't know what a 'mage' is. Hang on, you said you hoped I'd be the Malkovich one. Are you calling me insane? You're the insane one for liking any French food of any kind. Snails and garlic for breakfast? Eurgh...
Your result for The Fate's Companion Quiz ... The Emperor The Ruler Above the Clouds The Emperor. Your ally is the tired, furrowed brow of a ruler exhausted by affairs of state. A benevolent and kindly ruler, the Emperor is bound by the laws and customs of its people and subject to their scrutiny. The Emperor is a master of warfare, academia and diplomacy and uses its guile and cunning to circumvent the bureaucracy at the most advantageous of moments - a subtly placed brigade here, a deftly handed contract there, perhaps even the most sly inchings of a blade at the back of a neck - the Emperor has seen and heard it all. The Emperor works for you in a variety of ways, all of them masterfully executed... however, its very seldom able to work in your favor. To work well with the Emperor, you must survive on your own terms and take life head on - show that you can live without its help. The Emperor respects those who respect themselves, and will always intervene with an intense gift when you least expect it - and who doesn't like surprises? Especially when they're always good

You better be joking, nothing can beat a full English breakfast. You haven't lived until you've nibbled on a massive curly Cumberland sausage first thing in the morning... Next you're going to tell me that English gastronomy is the finest to be found in the whole wide world . Thanks for that explanation. It's so much clearer now, although I don't know what a 'mage' is. Hang on, you said you hoped I'd be the Malkovich one. Are you calling me insane? You're quite welcome. A mage : also known as a wizard, a sorcerer or a practitioner of the arcane arts... Although in some settings ( such as D&D ) they are actually different classes. As I'm sure you already know, the lines between genius and insanity are often very blurry. Plus The Malkavians have some really cool abilities, for example one is called Dementation and allows then to draw from their own madness in order to manipulate the mind of others in various and often debilitating ways. You're the insane one for liking any French food of any kind. Snails and garlic for breakfast? Eurgh... Hey, at least we're not reduced to eating beans on toast for breakfast . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright then, this next test is a bit longer than the previous ones ( 36 questions ) but is well worth it in my opinion. It's well written and gives you a long and detailed explanation of your result : Which Fantasy writer are you ?

Oh gee, it's started again... Philip Pullman But with: 31 High-Brow, -11 Violent, 9 Experimental and 27 Cynical! High-Brow vs Low-Brow You received 31 points, making you more High-Brow than Low-Brow. Being high-browed in this context refers to being more fascinated with the sort of art that critics and scholars tend to favour, rather than the best-selling kind. At their best, high-brows are cultured, able to appreciate the finer nuances of literature and not content with simplifications. At their worst they are, well, snobs. Violent vs. Peaceful You received -11 points, making you more Peaceful than Violent. This scale is a measurement of a) if you are tolerant to violence in fiction and b) whether you see violence as a means that can be used to achieve a good end. If you aren't, and you don't, then you are peaceful as defined here. At their best, peaceful people are the ones who encourage dialogue and understanding as a means of solving conflicts. At their worst, they are standing passively by as they or third parties are hurt by less scrupulous individuals. Experimental vs. Traditional You received 9 points, making you more Experimental than Traditional. Your position on this scale indicates if you're more likely to seek out the new and unexpected or if you are more comfortable with the familiar, especially in regards to culture. Note that traditional as defined here does not equal conservative, in the political sense. At their best, experimental people are the ones who show humanity the way forward. At their worst, they provoke for the sake of provocation only. Cynical vs Romantic You received 27 points, making you more Cynical than Romantic. Your position on this scale indicates if you are more likely to be wary, suspicious and skeptical to people around you and the world at large, or if you are more likely to believe in grand schemes, happy endings and the basic goodness of humankind. It is by far the most vaguely defined scale, which is why you'll find the sentence "you are also a lot like x" above. If you feel that your position on this scale is wrong, then you are probably more like author x. At their best, cynical people are able to see through lies and spot crucial flaws in plans and schemes. At their worst, they are overly negative, bringing everybody else down. Mixed results there, for me.
Next you're going to tell me that English gastronomy is the finest to be found in the whole wide world . It certainly tastes the nicest. I told you, a full English is like sex on a plate... ...for example one is called Dementation and allows then to draw from their own madness in order to manipulate the mind of others in various and often debilitating ways. I'd manipulate the minds of others to make them get me cake. Lots and lots of cake. Hey, at least we're not reduced to eating beans on toast for breakfast . Oh great, you want to have a go at Big Ben whilst you're at it?

I told you, a full English is like sex on a plate... I wouldn't know, I've never had sex, on a plate or otherwise . I'd manipulate the minds of others to make them get me cake. Lots and lots of cake. Now here's something I can get behind... Oh great, you want to have a go at Big Ben whilst you're at it? Yeah, why not, here's a joke I found on the Internet : Question : Why was the blonde disappointed with her trip to England ? Answer : She found out Big Ben was only a clock. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The subject of this next test is interesting unfortunately the way it's done is fairly disappointing ( way too short and kind of boring results, I need to find a better test dealing with the same idea ) : Spaceship Job Test

I wouldn't know, I've never had sex, on a plate or otherwise . Neither have I, but it's like heaven. We all have an impression of heaven, what we think it'll be like. Now, some will imagine that sex is like a warm sunny day in the English countryside, others, a beautiful sunset over Jakarta. Me? A full English breakfast... If it feels any different, I'd be quite disappointed. Now here's something I can get behind... Aha, finally, common ground. We both love cake... Yeah, why not, here's a joke I found... Oh, we're doing jokes, now? Oh, great. "I heard you slipped while climbing up a tower in Paris?" "Eiffel!" "I know! Good thing you had a safety rope on!" Ba-dum-tish...
Your result for The what your job would be on a spaceship test ... Captain30 Captain, 0 Pilot, 20 Security, 30 Mechanic and 20 Medic! Congratulations, you're the Captain. You get to boss everyone around. You're a natural leader, and you don't take nonsense from anybody. Without you, the ship would be in chaos. But be careful, don't let the power get to your head. Make sure you listen to what your crew has to say, you don't want a mutiny on your hands!
YEAH! Captain! As overlord, all will kneel trembling before me and obey my brutal command! Bit disappointed with Question 2. My answer wasn't there. Ahem...

Your result for The what your job would be on a spaceship test ... Mechanic
10 Captain, 0 Pilot, 20 Security, 50 Mechanic and 20 Medic! Good on you, you're the mechanic. You sit in the bowels of the ship, making sure everything is ticking over nicely. People don't see you much, but you're there, and without you, the ship would be lost. However, you spend too much time alone down there. Get out, talk to the rest of the crew. Sure the ship needs you, but don't feel like the only thing you can talk to is the ship. People are nice too!
Ok. But please don't let me near any machinery I can't even open my car bonnet...

If it feels any different, I'd be quite disappointed. Indeed, I can just about imagine you apologizing to your potential partner after having made love to them : "I'm quite sorry my dear but while we had a lovely time together it just wasn't as good or satisfying as a full English breakfast..." and then you would leave the bed and go eat a Cumberland sausage . Aha, finally, common ground. We both love cake... Indeed, cake is delicious and anyone saying otherwise should be arrested and thrown into a Cakelicious reeducation camp. Oh, we're doing jokes, now? Oh, great. "I heard you slipped while climbing up a tower in Paris?" "Eiffel!" "I know! Good thing you had a safety rope on!" Ba-dum-tish... How many Brits does it take to screw in a light bulb? Just two actually - one to secure a stepladder, climb it wearing a hard hat, and attach the light bulb - and another to carry out a risk assessment on the operation and to assess whether it is worth carrying on or whether cuts and the national deficit mean screwing in light bulbs will have to be dropped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This time we shall learn whether we are in control of our mind or whether our mind is in control of us, interesting question to say the least : The mind self-control test

Just two actually - one to secure a stepladder, climb it wearing a hard hat, and attach the light bulb - and another to carry out a risk assessment on the operation and to assess whether it is worth carrying on or whether cuts and the national deficit mean screwing in light bulbs will have to be dropped. How many Frenchmen does it take to change a light bulb? One - He stands up, holding the light bulb, and waits for the whole world to turn around him.
Your result for The Mind Self Control Test ... UnfocusedWhile you may think of yourself as aggressive you are passive in regards to controlling your own thought process. You may lack focus. You tend towards being reactionary. You may be focusing too much on how you are perceived and not enough on what is really important to you. If you allow the stronger aspects of your thinking process to dominate the weaker parts this will tend to be self reinforcing. It is by definition an imbalance (a bad thing...). Try to reinforce the weaker areas to create a balanced thought process. The result will be an stronger and more stable thought process over all. It is possible that you are not as self conscious as you could be. This refers to how aware you are of yourself in general. - Completely disagree with that. My mind is clear and logical. Like a Cumberland after coitus...

How can you tell an Englishman is sexually excited? By the stiff upper lip. Did you hear about the Frenchman who jumped into the river in Paris? He was declared to be in Seine.
Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test ... Linguistic35% Logical, 41% Spatial, 51% Linguistic, 27% Intrapersonal, 14% Interpersonal, 16% Musical, 4% Bodily-Kinesthetic and 29% Naturalistic! "Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers." (Wikipedia) - Mostly agree. Some of it made me initially say 'nope' but then, the more I thought about it, actually, was true. I thought I was terrible with foreign languages, but suddenly, I remembered I can count to 14 in French for some reason. Good test...

He was declared to be in Seine It's surprisingly rather hard to find jokes about England in general ( there's lots for both Scotland and Ireland though that's to be expected I guess ) so I'm already running out of the good ones while you could probably go on and on telling jokes about France . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This next test should reveal whether you have what it takes to be a philosopher prince : The Philosopher Prince Test

It's easy to see why it's easy to find Irish jokes. They're very amusing people
I got 'The Warm Heart' too, but with 42 prudence and 58 popularity.
