My Result.
You are an Eames lounge chair.
You maintain an air of sophistication,but you pay for it by being slightly out of touch with your own feelings.You manage,for example,to be nostalgic about an era during which you were not even alive.you favor skinny ties and fedoras,smoking indoors and three-martini lunches,even if you don't have a job.
SPOOKY!

I'm a spork apparently.
I'm a spork apparently. They're about 30% correct.
I'm a Vespa Scooter
Slightly bemused by some of the description but the last bit I'll happily take:
You are confident, independent and disdainful of conspicuous consumption and bling.
Me too
Though I'm not exactly sure what 'understated Tiffany accroutements' are. Inconspicuous bling I suppose.
Me too
Shall we go to Brighton next Bank Holiday Monday?
I bet James Blast is a Vespa Scooter too ... he's been looking for a little black cocktail dress for weeks.
Rubik's Cube
How in thee Hell did that happen!?
I tried one once, maybe twice, and thought it would be really nice to throw it against a brick wall.
Do people feel the urge
to do the same to you?
;)
you tell me
Mr. Bisto
Me too
I think it may have been Devo in the Karaoke round
Devo.
I picked Devo,not that I would ever inflict my voice on an unsuspecting public you understand and I'm a Volkswagon Beetle evidently.Eh?
The ladies love a Vespa
It's all very well being an Eames lounge chair, an i-phone, a Rubik's cube, a Coke bottle or a 'spork' (whatever that is when it's at home), but do they get stocking-clad ladies presenting them with delicious cakes and then using them for aerobics practise? Do they heck.
And another Vespa
spookily seems to know that I'm in the middle of a Mod Revival re-discovery - or am I reading too much into this?
I'm a Vespa too
and this from a man who owned big bikes for years!
new
Can I go? Im a Vespa as well. BTW there is a great programme on radio 4 about Mods narrated by Phil Daniels. Type in "Archive on 4 Mods" on bbci player. Its on till Saturday.
Meep Meep!
Another Vespa here.
Ciao.
I'm a Vespa as well...
...I'd always considered myself more of a pushbike type of chap. Still, I'm off to buy a Tuxedo.
And yet another Vespa!
Considering the fact that I spent 5 months avoiding the bloody things as I crossed the roads of Florence, I'm not sure that they're particularly apt for me.
I'm an urbane cosmopolitan who would sing a Journey song in a Karaoke bar. Is that possible?
Rubik's cube?
Brightly coloured and very frustrating? Yes, I suppose so...
I am a coke bottle
"haven't tried anything new since that attempt at breakdancing in 1980"
Great poll by the way
Me too.
Except for the break dancing bit.
Me too, too
Coke bottle, worryingly accurate, again except for the break dancing!
Yet another
coke bottle here too....
...and me.
I suspect the summaries are designed to be rather flattering as I was quite pleased with mine. Does seem to be worryingly accurate tho'.
I was an iPhone
and it was worryingly accurate.
"Haven't decided what you want to be when you grow up."
I'm 40 in March.
I too am an Eames lounge
I too am an Eames lounge chair (whatever that is).
Think of Frasier.
The chair and ottoman he had in front of his windows. I've got one in front of mine..
Aha!
Noice...
I am an Airstream trailer!
Fine with me.
Me too
although...
1) I've never heard of such an object before, and
2) the description is nothing like me at all.
Ho hum...
There's one pictured..
on the cover of Ry Cooder's first album. Designs like this are with us again: retro.
Coke bottle
Iconic, stylish, copied but never bettered? No, loyal and reliable, apparently.
another coke
bottle here!
a Viewmaster...
"You are an explorer and lay scientist... You are particularly suited to work in a bookstore, an independent cinema or as a lighthouse keeper."
Well, I did spend a long time working in a bookstore. I would quite like to be a lighthouse keeper too. Odd.
An immovable one.
Married to an irresistible force.
(Actually I can't access the test, will try later...)
Vespa scooter: I'll take that. I'm much more sophisticated that I look!
And another coke bottle
"Enjoy your creature comforts and familiarity ...the type of person other people have as their emergency contact"
Oh dear, it feels like thirty years ago and I've once again been voted "the most normal person in the office" by my fellow software engineers (admittedly a pretty odd-ball selection). Just too depressing (great game though :-))
Polaroid Camera
"You are a social butterfly"
Apparently I am a viewmaster
Awkward, limited in scope, and obsolete. And I make your eyes hurt.
Coke Bottle for me
we did a similar thing at work called Prism http://www.prism-profiling.com/ I think this system is much better. Imagine being given this test at an interview.
I also a a viewmaster.
I'd make a good lighthouse keeper.
They have been automated for quite some time now.
Me too
Obsolete without even trying.
Eames Chair
I bet that wasn't because of the Devo Whip It karaoke answer. Not sure about the skinny ties and smoking bit but a boozy lunch and being nostalgic for eras I wasn't born in sounds about right.
well,
either there are only a small number of items that the person who devised the test has input, or we are all quite similar types of people
Except me, I'm the only
Except me, I'm the only bloody spork on here! Come on, there must be others, its getting lonely in this cutlery draw.
You're not alone
I too am a spork.
How do you know
your both not foon's?
Hail fellow spork, well
Hail fellow spork, well met(I had a feeling you might be, it was the Ruth Watson post that gave it away).
haha!
good call. my biggest passions in life are definitely music and food!
