About Me


I'm a pretty easy going guy. I make friends with just about anyone. Technology and history are my two loves, but I have a habit of getting really into just about anything and then burning out real quickly. I'm thinking of a Computer Science major, but I switch back and forth from that major all the time (unofficially of course). Oh yeah, send me a message before you add me.
You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament
Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace.
You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions.
You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected.
It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional.
You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others.
While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well.
At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything.
You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams.
You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment. What Temperment Are You?
