Have to say I've always been a lazy procrastinator: Sloth.

However every test i've taken tells me I am too proud. Wow, i didn't know that. And I don't believe them. I am the best person to rate myself. |

Pride -- 50%
Lust -- 44%
Greed -- 38%
Wrath -- 38%
Sloth -- 31%
Gluttony -- 25%
Envy -- 13%
That looks about right. But I don't think Wrath should be so high up the list. There was that one question, 'Do you hit people for no good reason?' or something like that, and I thought 'Wow, that is so unlike me, but I bet there are a lot of Dave's members who would have to say "Agree" if they're going to be honest about this'. Cranky, combative, mean, potentially violent hotheads are a dime-a-dozen on this board, it often seems. (i'm being prideful here, aren't i?) |

I ticked anger. It's not that I'm angry all the time or even a lot, but rather that when I do get angry, it gets in the way of doing of what needs to get done. I will say that I'm getting ever better at controlling it, can often sense when I'm getting into one of these states and have learrned to walk away from whatever it is that is setting me off. I would also add that it is rarely people (except myself) that cause me to go off; inanimate objects (see: computer) are more likely causes.
I could have ticked sloth. I'm a bad procrastinator, but in the end, I do get stuff done (just sent a book chapter two months overdue to the editor two nights ago after she threatened to leave it out of the book).
As late as ten years ago, I could have ticked pride or envy, but age and experience have helped me reduce ego involvement in a lot of stuff. I don't have to be the best or get recognized for everything anymore.
Lust, gluttony, and greed (which are really a family of sins) - all within normal parameters. |

Yep..I've certainly changed as well. 5 years ago i would've put anger pretty high up. Now..
Pride -- I guess I am quite arrogant in my own way, but not overtly so.
Lust -- Fairly normal to low.
Greed -- Nope i don't want lots of money & stuff.
Wrath -- Have a temper, but know how to avoid/control it.
Sloth -- ahem, yep.. have to motivate myself better.
Gluttony -- Not really.
Envy -- no. theres nothing anyone else has I want really. |

I had to take a tiebreaker between sloth and gluttony, but gluttony won out for me.
A dangerous combo, I know.  |

Lame. The truth is, I'm actually a tapioka sculpture.
Most of those things aren't really problems for me. My biggest problem is humor. I think I laugh too much, and make too many jokes. It gets people angree sometimes, and can really bug the hell out of chicks. |

| I tried both tests ( I know--too much time!) and scored lust on both of them. I would have thought sloth, but apparently not... |

Now really, who thought that pride would be my number one?
Whatever.
BTW: People actually made it through the moronity of that second test? And then went through the registration process? WTF? (I know: pride, pride...) |
