I am a pregnant woman, viewed by my peers as a mentor. I’m not stressed and will have four children by the time I die, probably of cancer, at the age of 71. All of this information came from numerous tests according to thespark.com.
In the past week or so, I have joined the millions who have also found out similar fascinating things about themselves by these highly involved 50 to 100 question tests.
All kinds of tests exist to help students procrastinate and office people break the monotony of the eight-hour day sitting in a sky blue-colored cubicle.
The questions on the tests are fun, sometimes really personal and the outcomes of the tests are usually cause for a good laugh. This must be why so many others, and I, are addicted.
With graduation coming up in May, I can’t help but feel a pang of guilt as I partake in each new test. Some would say that more appropriate sites for me to be browsing are monster.com or journalismjobs.com.
On the surface, these locations seem to make a lot more sense than The Spark unless I want to spend the rest of my life in Eau Claire at a poor-paying and unfulfilling job. But I must admit that The Spark does have quite a bit to offer.
At least it can tell me things about myself that I really do need to know. For instance, I had no idea that I was pregnant. The pregnancy test on The Spark informed me that I am. And I thought the additional weight was from the lack of exercise over the holidays.
Glad The Spark warned me. This will really throw a bend into the ol’ job hunting. One more reason to put off posting my resume.
By taking the gender test, I found out that I am definitely a woman. That’s right. Answering questions like: “In a certain light, nuclear war would be exciting,” actually did an excellent job in determining my sex. At least I have a backup on that one. The pregnancy test is also backup proof, but it doesn’t explain why some men I know who have taken the test are also pregnant.
The same test also told me that I am going to have four kids. This is yet another unexpected turn of events for me. I’m not sure how I’m going to fit all of this in because.The Spark also said that I would die at the age of 71. Frankly, I was planning to stick around until I’m at least 100 years old.
In this case, I’m going to have to reorganize my life quite a bit. Apparently, the skydiving I was planning to do on my 75th birthday won’t be happening.
Last but not least, I discovered that I can boast a mentor’s personality. The personality test is the most popular on The Spark.
Being a mentor means that my peers view me as a good leader, although I am not. I enjoy guiding others in thought but do not want to impose my own opinions upon them.
On that note, I would encourage my fellow students to take a test or two. The results are useful.
With the light shed on my life by The Spark, I found out that I’ve got a lot of living to do. Monster can only offer me more uncertainty of what is to come in the future. It has nothing concrete for me.
The Spark serves as a good reference. It carefully explains serious, important events that will occur throughout one’s life. In effect, The Spark eliminates the uncertainty that job Web sites only promote.
So let me suggest, not demand, since I definitely don’t want to impose my opinion on anyone, that everyone take a test or two. It will probably help prioritize the things that are most important in life.
