&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even the Brain knows I&#8217;m ninja!  Hell yeah!  It&#8217;s officially undeniable now!  No longer can my my friends, family, beggars on the street, or anyone else tell me I&#8217;m not a ninja anymore.  The Brain said I was, and the Brain is never wrong!  Never!  Need more exclamation points?  Well here ya go!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The game is pretty amazing, getting a lot of things right about my personality, my likes, dislikes, etc., and rarely getting one wrong.  Either the people at Pairwise who made the game are very good at knowing personality traits, or I&#8217;m more transparent then lingerie on some semi-naked pop star.  Bad jokes!  ROXORS!<br /><br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, now that my secret&#8217;s out, I want you to play <a href="javascript:likebetter()" onmouseover="self.status='Play Likebetter!'; return true;"><b>Likebetter</b></a> and post a comment on what it gets right about you. Also check out <b><a href="http://www.likebetter.com/" target="_blank">likebetter.com</a></b>, it has some other cool games you can play with your friends.<br /><br />

Here are a couple lists of what it guessed right and wrong about me, with my commentary in parenthesis:<br /><br />

<b>The Brain guessed right about me:</b><br />

<li>You enjoy meeting lots of new people.  <font class="mycomment">(If they kick ass)</font></li>

<li>You often employ logic in your decision-making. <font class="mycomment">(Emotion is for those female types)</font></li>
<li>Your friends would describe you as a very emotional person. <font class="mycomment">(Oh crap)</font></li>
<li>You&#8217;re a bit more feminine than your peers.  <font class="mycomment">(Hooray for confused gender roles!)</font></li>
<li>If you were asked to dance by someone very attractive, your answer would be: yes <font class="mycomment">(You don&#8217;t even have to ask!)</font></li>
<li>You have a tendency to get annoyed or angered easily. <font class="mycomment">(Do I punk?  Do I?)</font></li>
<li>You have a few close friends.</li>
<li>If given the choice, you&#8217;d choose a long-term relationship. <font class="mycomment">(Does this include stalking?)</font></li><br /></ul>
</div><br />


<b>The Brain guessed wrong about me:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>If someone said you were an entrepreneur, you&#8217;d say: no I&#8217;m not. <font class="mycomment">(I am, just not yet&#8230;*thumbs up*)</font></li>
<li>You&#8217;re hardly ever late to things.  <font class="mycomment">(When likebetter screws up, it does it big time)</font></li>
<li>You haven&#8217;t had dreams where you can fly. <font class="mycomment">(Except the one where I plummeted to my death&#8230;must remain positive!)</font></li>
<li>I generally get what I want. <font class="mycomment">(I don&#8217;t rule the world&#8230;yet)</font></li>
<li>Pretend you have just received a major award. You would: tell everyone to share in the excitement.  <font class="mycomment">(Yeah, I&#8217;m too selfish for that)</font></li>
<li>You like to be spontaneous whenever possible.</font></li>
<li>You love junk food. <font class="mycomment">(I eat it cause it&#8217;s cheap.  Do I love it?  Ask my diseased heart in 30 years)</font></li></ul><br />
So what did <a href="javascript:likebetter()" onmouseover="self.status='Play Likebetter!'; return true;"><b>Likebetter</b></a> say about you?<br /><br />]]></content:encoded>
