Okay the title of this is really a website. It's a quiz that tells you about you adventurous spirit. I think it's really cool, and everyone that see's this should go check it out. Remember once you get past I think the first 15 questions you have to fill in the information to get the complete version.

The only reason I decided to do this quiz was because of the comerical on the Discovery Channel. It was pretty funny. It had this heavy guy painted blue and white, saying how out of place he was. Then they said to check this out to make sure you never found yourself like that. Curiousity got the better of me. *smiles*

Here is my results:

Upon completing the full version of the AQ(Adventure Quotient), it appears that you exhibit a blend of adventure characteristics. While one AQ emerged prominently, it appears that the characteristics of others also influence your behavior. Your primary AQ is the Aggressive Conquering Accomplisher(ACA).

As an ACA, you are the first to try something new and the last to leave anything exciting. People with this AQ willingly put themselves in situations that would never cross the minds of most so-called sane people.

This Adventure Quotient(AQ) confirms that your relationship with Mother Nature has quite a history - you can't help begging for more, regardless of the contempt she dishes out. Your enthusiasm for living life on the edge can leave others wondering if you really take possible dangers seriously, ore if you're just plain nuts. Which leaves us to ask, are you nuts?

It's not like you to take recommended daily dose of caution before leaving home. Perhaps you feel invincible, or take injuries in stride, or discount the potential danger in your undertaking.

YOu are a high-engery individual who doesn't need much in the way of creature comforts. If you have a place to sleep, the occasional meal and some company, you're happy. Such an adaptable personality means that your explorations don't need to stick to the beaten path. ACA's are also extremely open to novel experiences. They never judge something until they've tried it, and they are willing to try just about anything.

Prominent adventure traits of Aggressive Conquering Accomplishers:
-Courageous
-Spontaneous
-Low-maintenance
-Sensation-seeking
-Curious
-Open-minded
-Energetic

While you fit the mold of your primary AQ in many situations, you are influenced by characteristics belonging to other AQs. Your secondary AQ is the Aggressive Outdoor Encourager(AOE). Depending on the adventure at hand, you sometimes take this approach rather than that of your dominant AQ. Those who are AOE's tend to display the following characteristics:

-Couragous
-Sturctured
-Image-conscious
-Low-maintenance
-Sensation-seeking
-Energetic

AOE's don't wait for adventure to fall into their laps - they actively hunt it down. They are motivated by the desire to perform and the satisfaction of achievement. This AQ likes testing the body and mind in anyway possible. AOE's have bountiful energy reserves and require little to be comfortable - proving their strength and ability to endure.

-Some activiteis are best left to the imagination, not to experimentation. The reason you exist today is becasue human beings are equipped with a fear response to preserve life. If you're ignoring your body and rationalizing dangerous risks, you might be taking adrenaline-seeking to an unhealthy extreme.
-There are plenty of ways to get that adrenaline rush without putting you life on the line. For starters, try striking up a converstation with the proverbial person across a crowded room.

Others who share Adventure Quotient have experienced the following destations and activities:

Destinations: Swiss Alps, Great Barrier Reef, Rocky Mountains, New Zealand, Patagonia

Activies: Shark-diving, bungee-jumping, Land Rover G4 chanllenge, rock climbing, skydiving(indoors, too), fire-walking, stuntman school, car racing, ice-scuba diving, crocodile wrestling, jet-skiing

I think a lot of it does sum me up. I am quite the energetic person. I love the outdoors, and love dangerous adventures, but not to dangerous. LOL! I'll shut up now. This is probably the longest thing in the world! Bye!
