What's Your Magical Personality?

I found this rather interesting quiz on Perfectly Vocal's blog, so I thought I'd give it a try. You can take it yourself here: The Magical Personality Quiz.

Your Q Score is: 10
The Q score ideally should be as small as possible, indicating maximum agreement among elements. However, even a tiny Q score may not mean optimal functioning, since all four elements may in fact be relatively undeveloped.

Your Primary Mythical Creature

Air Types

The main strength of the Air types is intellect. The second element indicates the most probable focus for this intellectual activity.

Unicorn

Air with Water

Astrologically associated with Gemini and the Third House

Unicorn types are very concerned with the communication of ideas. They are witty and likeable but can also be quite shy. They are easily bored and easily distracted, and may seem unpredictable and superficial for this reason. Actually they are very deep and are usually trying to find the connections between the people and things around them. They are highly imaginative but not very practical. They love knowledge for its own sake and are not concerned about putting it to use. They are socially astute and sensitive to others’ feelings, but may still appear somewhat aloof. They are drawn to grand schemes for unifying people but these often don’t extend beyond the initial idea. Very logical and rational, Unicorn types are also unconventional and even bizarre. Other people may regard them as fey or just strange.

Comment
Well, just look at that last bit - "unconventional ... strange" - what more could an Eccentric Bohemian Hermit hope to hear? I am even quite happy to be called "bizarre". "Witty" - well, that's true too, is it not my profile name? The rest of this is all pretty accurate, really. I've always been highly imaginative but totally impractical and although I'm nowhere near as shy as I used to be, I am still not the sort of person who is comfortable with strangers. I suppose I could be called an extrovert on paper, but in 'real life' I am totally the opposite.

All this ties in with the astrological personality quiz I did the other week, which gave me a Gemini personality. You can read about that (and take the quiz yourself) if you click here.

Your Shadow Creature

Fire Types

All the Fire types have problems relating to anger and aggression. The weakest element indicates the main focus of these problems.

Phoenix

Fire and Earth

This shadow is prone to a sense of stagnation due to lack of motivation and laziness. Nothing durable is ever produced. Practical activities may never be embarked upon. There is an underlying sense of futility and hopelessness. Disillusionment results from their lack of confidence that they can change anything for the better, and in any case they do not have the will. At the same time there is an underlying grandiosity and even megalomania reflected in their dreams and aspirations. They need to feel special. Instead, they may simply overindulge or neglect themselves physically. The biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed; the biggest obstacle of weak Fire is to overcome anger and aggression.

Comment
I have to admit that the first sentence is accurate - I am incredibly lazy and I do lack motivation. I suppose I do sometimes feel that I can't improve anything - certainly I've felt a lot like that lately, but I blame that on the menopause. The last part I don't really agree with, I admit that I can be self-centred (note UK spelling here), but I'm not greedy. Aggressive? Well, maybe in my younger days, not so much now. Angry? At circumstances often yes, but not so much at people (unless they're idiots).

Interesting that I should get the Phoenix really, because this is one of the symbols associated with my sun-sign of Scorpio. I certainly seem to have spent my entire life rising from various piles of ashes.
