i usually cannot stand facebook quizzes. but every so often there’s a good one; i quite enjoyed “what crazy bitch are you” (sylvia plath), but didn’t like “what r&b diva are you” (jill scott)…

“what inner nationality are you” caught me because for quite long i have been considering leaving the states, just to get away from this nearing 30-year immersion. the quiz itself includes all sorts of interesting social psychological measures including attachment to one’s mother, individualistic vs. collectivist cultural tendencies, as well as concepts of the self and other. i encourage you to check it out.

turns out i’m an american at heart. i’ve come to grips with it.

my diagnosis:

“You are highly competitive and highly independent, although you also have an easygoing and spontaneous nature. In order to hide and mitigate just how badly you want to win, you have developed a thick veneer of friendliness — in order to lull your opponents into a false sense of security, yes, but also in order to actually tame your own natural blood lust, and most of the time it even works. Because you are so mobile and ever-changing, your friendships are always in flux, and the people who are your oldest friends may or may not accompany you all the way through life. Probably not.”
