Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
You scored as Christianity. Your views are most similar to those of Christianity. Do more research on Christianity and possibly consider being baptized and accepting Jesus, if you aren't already Christian.Christianity is the second of the Abrahamic faiths; it follows Judaism and is followed by Islam. It differs in its belief of Jesus, as not a prophet nor historical figure, but as God in human form. The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.

My Interests

Hmmm, tough one. I enjoy Bible reading and study, and am currently enrolled as a degree candidate with Moody Bible Institute. However, I like all sorts of other reading as well, and I read voraciously. I also like movies (mainly on DVD; there are no good theaters with easy access around here), and some TV (also on DVD, we almost never watch commercial TV). I try to work out at the gym 2-3 times a week, although that hasn't been happening lately because of the insanity of my schedule and various pressures that have arisen. I have a large collection of books, comic books, vinyl LP's, cassettes, VHS and DVD's. My cellar is a mess!

I'd like to meet:

Almost anyone. The only exceptions would be people trying to perpetrate scams, abusive people, porn bots, people adding me for the sole purpose of using my profile to advertise something they are selling or to recruit me (or others) into network marketing schemes etc. If you fall into one of those categories, please pass me by. Spam comments will be deleted, and repeated spam will get you deleted from my friend list. My profile is not a free advertising spot for whatever money-making scheme you might be involved in.
If you try to add me and your profile connects to a porn site, asks me to download special software to see it, is all about the marketing network you are trying to build, or talks about how you just want to help people "DREAM AGAIN," (standard boilerplate for profiles of people in one of the networking schemes) you are not going to be successful.
But I have no qualms about talking with people who see the world differently than I do (though I may not come around to your way of thinking nor expect that you will to mine). I am hoping to meet a wide variety of new friends here on Myspace...could one of them be you?
HOWEVER, I SHOULD POINT OUT that the nature of myspace is such that you get quick, one-time exposure to a wide variety of profiles. Therefore, if I run across yours - whether it comes up as "Cool New People", or I link to it from a friend's profile, or I see you in chat, or whatever - if I see something that catches my interest, I am very likely to hit the "Add" button. The reason for this is that I'd rather take the risk of your being upset that a total stranger tried to add you than the risk that you might really be interesting and I never run across you again. If you are offended by that, then please feel free to click your "Deny" button, realizing that I will not be offended. If you are convinced that anyone who tries to add you that you don't already know has some evil ulterior motive, then we probably wouldn't get along that well anyway.
AND, you will get an automatic add from me if you want to be my friend and fall into any of the following categories: serious Christians, ex-Jehovah's Witnesses or major Bob Dylan fans. Others may be added too, but one of those three things will make you a shoo-in.
NOTE FOR MUSICIANS: I get add requests from musicians and musical groups pretty much daily. Here's how I handle them: I go to your page and listen to your music. If I like what I hear, you're in. If not, unless there is something really compelling about your page apart from your music, I'll most likely deny the request. Nothing personal, I just don't see the point of filling up my friend list with musicians and groups I don't enjoy listening to.
JUST ONE MORE THING: No matter who you are on my friends list, my comments area is not a billboard for you to advertise your new album, next concert appearance, new networking site or availability of ringtones. All spam comments WILL be deleted, and the one who leaves them will be at risk for remaining on my friends list. I understand that some of you have had your accounts phished, and I make allowance for that (though the offending comments will still be removed). But people who add me simply to use my profile as a place to hang posters won't be around for long.

You Are Rain
You can be warm and sexy. Or cold and unwelcoming.
Either way, you slowly bring out the beauty around you.

You are best known for: your touch

Your dominant state: changing What Type of Weather Are You?

Music:

Number 1, musically speaking for me, is Bob Dylan, I've been a fan of his for nearly 40 years. I like a lot of the classic rock and pop from the 60's and 70's, also a lot of contemporary Christian music. Favorite classic rock musicians include Bruce Springsteen, Beatles, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Eagles, Harry Chapin (still miss him), Crosby Stills Nash and/or Young, and many others I probably can't think of right now. Favorite Christian artist is still probably Amy Grant, but anyone on the WOW Worship albums is pretty good, too.

Movies:

Among my favorite movies: All three Godfathers, all three Lord of the Rings. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Sleeper (Woody Allen). I'll have to add to this as I think of more, because my mind is blank right now...

Television:

My wife and I enjoy Buffy, Angel, Smallville, Third Rock from the Sun, Star Trek (original for now), Wonderfalls, and the 4400. We have also watched (and enjoyed enough that we may follow up with more) some episodes of Roswell, Veronica Mars and Tru Calling.I like the Sopranos and Brotherhood, but my wife won't watch them.We watch all of the above on DVD only; we nearly never watch anything on commercial TV.

Books:

So many books, so little time...but...

You know the Bible 100%! Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

Heroes:

Jesus, of course. He did it all. My wife, who keeps me sane. My daughter, who loves me unconditionally. And - on a whole different level, of course - let's not forget about Superman! :P
