I gotta say, I'm really getting tired of these "What kind of $thing are you?" tests. Most people make a big deal about how they're different, despite the fact that the happy marketing folk have us all neatly penned in something like 17 categories which are apparently pretty damned reliable (now where's that test?). So I don't quite get the attraction of seeing which little pigeon hole you fit into, especially when it's a range of maybe four choices.

Or maybe I'm just getting ticked off with my peer group again.

This is the part and parcel i expect with having a LiveJournal. You can't blame your peer group; this is clearly a side effect of the medium we are currently inhabiting.

You are also carrying a prejudice about the motivation of those who take the tests. Not everyone takes these tests to find a niche in which to force themselves, and i highly doubt any of "us" are taking them with that intention.

If you're feeling cranky, there's probably a "What sort of cranky Irishman are you?" quiz waiting out there for you. I say go for it. And if there isn't one, by gum, write one.
