Your Power Color Is Gold
At Your Highest:

You are engrossed in passions that mentally stimulate you.

At Your Lowest:

You seek thrills and neglect what's important in your life.

In Love:

You see dating as adventure and approach it with an open attitude.

How You're Attractive:

You passion for life makes others passionate about you.

Your Eternal Question:

"Am I Having Fun?" *
You Are Disturbingly Profound
You're contemplative, thoughtful, and very intense.
Taking time to figure out the meaning of life is a priority for you.
Because you're so introspective, you often react in ways that surprise people.
No one can really understand how you are on the inside... and that disturbs them. *
Your IQ Is 141
Your Logical Intelligence is Genius

Your Verbal Intelligence is Genius

Your Mathematical Intelligence is Above Average

Your General Knowledge is Genius *
You Are a Liberal Lady
Like Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, you don't shy away from your liberal causes.
You may consider yourself a feminist, and you definitely trust your heart to tell you what's right.
You are likely to have a million issues you care about - and not nearly enough time to devote to them all. * *
You are a Self-Discoverer
You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality.
Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine.
You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion.
You especially dislike religious leaders and televangelists, who you feel are charlatans. *
Your Personality Profile
You are dignified, spiritual, and wise.
Always unsatisfied, you constantly try to better yourself.
You are also a seeker of knowledge and often buried in books.

You tend to be philosophical, looking for the big picture in life.
You dream of inner peace for yourself, your friends, and the world.
A good friend, you always give of yourself first. *
You Are Balanced - Believer - Powerful
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.

You are a true believer in luck, fate, and karma.
You believe that life is a game of chance - not a game of skill.
You either consider yourself very unlucky or very lucky.
No matter what, you don't feel like you can change the hand you were dealt.

When it comes to who's in charge, it's you.
Life is a kingdom, and you're the grand ruler.
You don't care much about what others think.
But they better care what you think! * The places my eyes will see this year Krakow, Poland * Minsk, Belarus * St. Nicolae, Moldova * Kaliningrad, Russia * Paintings that inspire me... The Kiss by Gustav Klimt * Girl With Braids by Amedeo Modigliani * I and the Village by Marc Chagall * The Tattooist by Norman Rockwell (and virtually EVERYTHING else painted by him.) * The Endless Enigma by Salvador Dali * The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo * Road With Cypress and Star by Vincent Van Gogh

Movies:

J.R.R. Tolkien: "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold." - Frodo

Television:

I do not watch television, save one exception: The Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel, each Tuesday. Jason is addicted and it really is an interesting show.

Books:

I am currently reading "The Art of Happiness" by His Holiness the Dalai Lama & Howard C. Cutler, M.D.

Heroes:

Visionaries and martyrs.
