"Labels belong on clothing, not human beings. If I wish to know what type of hat or shirt a person is wearing, I shall examine the label. If I wish to know what type of person is wearing it, I shall examine the person. There are, after all, only two types of observant Jews: those who seek conformity to various idealized stereotypes, and those who seek conformity to what Hashem wants of them as unique human beings. The only way to distinguish between these two types of Jews - to truly determine their values, character, personality, commitment to Judaism, political views, and so very much more - is to get to know them."

Said the same about me.. I can make up some test about the most Facebook obsessed college student, most insane professor, but that would be idiotic and a time waster. Since when do Jews fit into "categories" or "boxes"?

hehe, I got the same answer. I couldn't think of a category I'd rather fit in!
Of course, to be fair, that test has some of the oddest questions. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it didn't know what to do with us.
Cute, but silly in the final analysis.

Also got huh?. I wonder who made this test, it's definitely not very well programmed.
I liked the questions though.
Hmmm, I thought i was unique. Oh well.
Mich- I wouldn't be surprised that many "undefinable" people relate to your blog...
