Learning about me

You'd think as much time as I spend with myself, I'd know enough about me already. But that doesn't stop me from engaging in the occasional online survey.

Individualists have a knack for innovation. Like pioneers, you have the potential to chart a new course and break new ground in your career and community. Not everyone will appreciate it, but you're a true original.

It was also nice to see that I am, in fact, not like other guys. In fact, only 4 percent of men have my personality traits. Another 36 percent are "very much like me." That means that 60 percent of men are not very much like me, and 96 aren't exactly like me.

I don't know if that's comforting or frightening. But it is accurate.

To wrap up this post, I can't say it any better than something else I just noticed on the site:
