Simon has a good one.
And I went back to the "How Weird Are You?" site and took the personality test.
Yup, it's official. I'm mental.

The Big Five is currently the most accepted personality model in the scientific community. The Big Five emerged from the work of multiple independent scientists/researchers starting in the 1950s who using different techniques obtained similar results. Those results were that there are five distinct personality traits/dimensions. Here are your results on each dimension:
Extroversion results were medium which suggests you are moderately talkative, optimistic, sociable and affectionate. (Helen note: I would agree with that, but my colleagues all suggest I talk a lot. And they are still singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", so I am being very quiet today, since they may kill me soon).
Friendliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately good natured, trusting, and helpful. (Helen note: I disagree with the trusting issue. You want me to trust you? Better be prepared to offer up sacrifices of blood, baby-I trust no one.)
Orderliness results were medium which suggests you are moderately organized, reliable, neat, and ambitious. (Helen: yup, sounds about right.)
Emotional Stability results were low which suggests you are worrying, insecure, emotional, and nervous. (Helen note: Well...duh!)
Intellectualness results were medium which suggests you are moderately creative, original, curious, and imaginative. (Helen note: finally, a note that is flattering!)
Overall, you scored highest on Intellectualness and lowest on Emotional Stability. (Helen note: back away slowly from the website. Do not run, it will only attract the crazy lady's attention...)
