I got four results and a bunch of stuff about Leonardo da Vinci and the renaissance man ideal...

I guess you're just all over the map, sweetie...

I got two results, neither of which state that I should be a programmer ;)

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

I doubt few people are really cut out for programming. Many of the programmers I've met were close to total burnout less than five years into the profession.

I've been in it for five years... and I think I've put enough into my career. it's time to retire.

Let's see, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. I might be over my limit too.

*nods* we all need to retire. and take numerous vacations in Hawaii.

Weird. I took the test, and it took me to something labeled the results page, but it never gave me my result.

Guess I broke it.

A lot of these "meme" things don't work that well. I could never get the "LJ secret crush" thing to work properly. Not like it's any secret how many people I crush on...

Hrm, yeah, that seems to be high on the list of incidence.

I don't see where they get the idea that Martin Luther King or Gandhi were concerned with the meaning of life. They both seemed to have had more immediate problems on their hands. I'm wary of anyone who classifies them with Plato and Socrates.

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

I think Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gandhi were very concerned with the meaning of life, but they had very practical ideas about what that meaning was (such as opposing injustice).
