Seven Deadly Sins and I

March 26th, 2008

I just completed the Seven Deadly Sins test on Tickle, as it was free this week. It says that I’m less sinful than most people, but I appear to have a strong gluttony, pride and the rest is either average or below average.

I would highly recommend this test, unlike the e.g. weight test which claims that the BMI of 23 is “too much” while everywhere else it would be classified as normal. So, I sent out four invitations to close friends, but I am encouraging everyone I know to take it. Click here!

And now about my results…

My pride is 8 out of 10, the average being 4.5 out of 10.
I’m not surprised that it’s my worst sin. There are so many things I would never do because I simply consider them wrong (and my low lust helps there, a lot), I would never do anything that could damage someone else’s interests, I would not speak to people who harmed me or for whom I think they harmed me; I would never lie or be an opportunist, I would never change myself to get what I want…and that is probably why I have it harder than the most of people. But i don’t think it’s a sin at all! I love it.

My gluttony is 6 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
In fact, how come this one is not 9 out of 10? I have the kinds of craving only pregnant women have sometimes and I always have temporary obsessions about certain type of food; plus there’s my ongoing Big Mac obsession (they taste even better when they’re cold, have I ever told you that?) and this weird thing with Pepsi Max. Right now, I also have a thing for ćevapčići with kajmak, vanilla ice cream with Plazma keks and…god, I shouldn’t go on.

My greed is 4 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
Frankly, I think the average cannot be 3 out of 10 and that people are pretending to be humble, so I am probably less greedy than the most of population. Also, this test was made for an American average Joe/Jane type of a person and the life standards are bigger in USA nd western Europe. If I want more, I just want some normal things, such as actually having two holidays a year and having enough to pay the most of my parents’ bills. I don’t see that as greed.

My wrath is 3 out of 10, the average being 3 out of 10.
I guess I have improved, I used to be horrible.

My envy is 3 out fo 10, the average being 2.5 out of 10.
And that’s probably because of the same thing as greed.

My sloth is 2 out of 10, the average being 4 out of 10.

My lust is at 0.5, the average being 4 out of 10.
I’m not surprised. I’m too picky and I don’t understand sex as a pleasure, only as the ultimate way of expressing love. So, no lust for me, I’m not lusting and I’m not even pretending when I say that, I was born this way.

So…let’s just say that I’m proud of my pride.

I ja sam “ispod proseka” ali ne znam u cemu sam bolja, a u cemu gora. Mislim da je prezderavanje i kod mene na vrhu :p

I love quizzes like those. I am going to take it and see what it says even though I already think I know what I am going to rank high in.

I can’t stand these tests. They always show that I’m psychopathic, which I am not.. Maybe I’m not supposed to read so much irony into the questions. But they are so daft..

Anyway, I think this post was taken straight from the bottom of your butt. Be proud. What else is in there?

I hate these types of quizzes. I’m always depressed, sadistic, etc, which is entirely wrong. The results are always wrong for me haha.

hahaha, I should really try that. I would probably be gluttonous and prideful XD or slothful! ;P

Hee, these kinds of quizzes are always fun to take. I’d probably score highest in the lust and pride sections. I remember discussing the 7 sins when we read Dante’s “Inferno” and when I took this test about which level of hell I’d be in, I ended up on the second-to-lowest, lol :p

Holy crap woman - that’s certainly indepth! *lol* I used to love quizzes like that, but haven’t taken any myself in years. It certainly seems that you enjoyed yourself. If it were me, I’d probably score the highest in Wrath and Sloth. And that’s if I believed in sins in the first place.
x despair

I’d score a whif cocain and a sixpack of lager.

Hey Iva, thanks for the link I’ve done the test and I scored highest for sloth. It’s so true, I’m a very lazy person who would opt to laze at home all day instead of joining others for a football game… anyway, nice blog, I love your designs! Especially the notepad feeling.

I’ll take it and add it to my blog in a bit.

Hi thnx for the recommendation…I will try some more days with cutenews too see what happens,..Nice site btw..

How can anyone claim that a BMI of 23 is too high? That must be a very unserious test.

According to the seven deadly sins test you seem to be a nice person. I’m not even sure I dare to take the test because I’m sure I’ll get way too hight points…

I didn’t take the test. I registered but I haven’t the time right now. I do agree with you on something. I do not see sex as a pleasure either. I know my lust will be low or nonexistent. I view it as a way of expressing love, too. I wish men did. LOL.

I just took the test but had to
pay for the report so I’m apparently
“more sinful than the average person”
HA!

Those are some interesting quiz results. The quiz is fun to take too. I didn’t know one of the words so I don’t know if that affected my results or not. Doesn’t matter, I can’t see what I got anyway because I am not paying for it.
