Default If you're bored


I stumbled upon this site from a friend
http://www.kabalarians.com/index.cfm
and it's scarily true

you enter your first name and they will basically analyze you. And it's scarily true, like at least 50% of it perfectly defines you
I entered my brothers name, some friends names, and my own
it's pretty amazing.

It said I liked to work independently so I could make my own decisions and that I'm better at expressing my feeling through writing than verbally, which is pretty right

Holy crap. I just did the first one, and... well, it's scarily accurate...

I was bored...

Medusa (I love):
  • The name of Medusa makes you very idealistic, sensitive, and inspirational.
  • If these qualities are not understood and properly directed through music, art, or other creative expression, you could become jealous and possessive of those close to you.
  • Your feelings are so strong that you are inclined to build your life around certain individuals and become wrapped up in personal love rather than seeking into the deeper truths of life; thus you could suffer losses in your affections and shattered ideals.
  • You are generous and people are drawn to you because of your friendly and sympathetic nature.
  • Although the name Medusa creates idealism and the urge to help others, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.
  • This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and happiness, as well as cause health weaknesses in the nervous system.
Raven (just for fun):
  • Your name of Raven gives you a clever mind, good business judgment, a sense of responsibility, and an appreciation of the finer things of life.
  • You are serious-minded and not inclined to make light of things even in little ways, and in your younger years you had more mature interests than others your age.
  • Home and family mean a great deal to you and it is natural that you should desire the security of a peaceful, settled home environment where you can enjoy the companionship of family and friends.
  • Whatever you set out to accomplish you do your very best to complete in accordance with what you consider to be right.
  • Although the name Raven creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it can cause a superior, interfering expression whose favorite expression is "I know" when not combined with a balanced last name.
  • This name, when not combined with a balanced last name, can also frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through worry and mental tension.
Xena (mwaha):
  • Your first name of Xena gives you a responsible, self-sufficient, and dependable nature.
  • If you have been given the opportunity, you could do well in business developing your leadership, administrative, and managing abilities.
  • Appreciating quality in all things, you desire to be prosperous.
  • You do not like to relinquish control nor do you accept advice readily.
  • You have a strong, determined nature and you must be careful that you do not dominate or interfere in the lives of others in your desire to be helpful.
  • This name makes you too forceful at times, limiting the natural feminine qualities of tenderness and tact.

Buffy (for fun):
  • The name of Buffy creates a happy, versatile, and expressive nature, with good business judgment and a fine sense of responsibility, which should enable you to establish congenial relationships in positions of trust where you are dealing with the public.
  • You have a clever, quick mind, with the ability to accomplish a great deal in a short period of time, although it is not easy for you to systematize your efforts.
  • This name could allow expression along musical and artistic lines and gives you the desire to entertain and to meet and mix with people of refinement and culture.

  • As Callisto you have a great love of nature and the out-of-doors.
  • All the finer things of life and beauties of nature are an inspiration to you and you are attracted to the mysteries of nature.
  • Difficulty in expression results in your being too positive, blunt, and candid in speech and although you are easily offended by others, you do not show it.
  • You crave affection and understanding, but rarely find it as others do not understand you and accuse you of being cool and aloof.
  • The average person would never realize the true depth of your nature.
  • Although the name Callisto creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it causes a blunt expression that alienates others.

Ares (famous for absorbing Aphrodites war like nature):
  • Your name of Ares creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas.
  • You are rather studious, mentally challenging each new idea before accepting it.
  • Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you could become supercilious or somewhat "know it all" in your attitude.
  • This characteristic could make you rather unpopular with your associates.
  • Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult.
  • You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others.

  • You have, also, a flair for creative expression with your hands.
  • You take life seriously and can be easily and deeply hurt and go into moods which can be quite extreme at times, causing much turmoil and unhappiness.

Huh. It is pretty accurate. I am kind of goal-oriented, but I hope other people don't see me as shrewd and calculating. 'Cause i'm not. Usually. :P

I'm impulsive, alienating, reckless and have been through experiences which have left me bitter... hm. Now that can't be right.

I don't find it that accurate.

I am "serious-minded, responsible, and stable." And "possess a charming, easy-going nature which puts people at ease."

Suuuuuuuuuuuuure, I do.

Just for the record, sites like this use fairly ambiguous stuff that a lot of people will associate with. There've been various studies on this and it's a trick a lot of "psychics" use.

Strangely enough, I don't find I need a computer to tell me what my personality is like.

I get enough from my friends and family.

Barnum statements, that's all they are. Same technique is employed by so-called psychics, palm/tarot/crystal ball readers. If you're really bored, why not write?

That's why I was looking at thier site in the first place.

What Q and DK said It's just a trick that uses your sense of individuality to fool you. You hear things you identify with and assume that you're the only one who could possibly fit this description, when in reality everybody else has the same thoughts and ideas as you do. They're vague blanket statements twisted to sound specific.

for my mom's, EVERY THING she gets says: "Business"
fortune cookies, well they always say "your business will be successful or whatever"
I always get ridiculous ones, like "if you kiss the person next to you, untold luck will come"

her name's pretty unique, and these name reader thingies always have something about business in it for her.

well for one thing, she's a businesswoman. And also, she's obsessed with being successful with her business. So I think that's pretty freaky.



anyways, what are the chances??

It said I'm meticulous in my finances, yadda yadda. Totally not true. In their defense though, I do have a Jewish name.

I put my name in, and even though I know it's just a blanket statement and really not really an 'analysis', it said some things that seemed pretty close to my actual personality.

That was interesting, thanks for sharing.
