The Drink of Life - A personality test

October 2006 - Oslo.

Take your favorite beverage, beer, wine, champagne, any soft drink, milk, orange juice

Imagine you are low on your favorite beverage. You will not be able to purchase more for a couple of days, so you have to really enjoy it while it lasts.

This may be a very unreal situation in today's urban jungle where everything is served on a plate 24/7, but for the academic exercise - imagine. Let's say the world is on the verge of war or worse the union is going on a strike.

A half full glass of warm beverage and a chilled fresh slump from the fridge.

You have five choices:

  1. Pour the cold chilled beverage into the half full glass of warm beverage. Drink it and get your belly full quickly.
  2. Pour the warm dull leftover into the sink and have a half full glass of cold optimal beverage experience.
  3. Drink what would be a half full glass of chilled beverage from the bottle, then drink the left over afterwards or an hour later when the thirst hits again and you become desperate.
  4. Drink the warm dull leftover from the glass, then pour the chilled fresh beverage from the bottle in the glass and drink it.
  5. Don't drink anything.

Make up your mind what you choose, before reading on.

The cold fresh into the warm dull

You are very satisfied with the average. It does not matter if you are a tiny bit better or a tiny bit worse than the people around you. You really don't care and you do not try to go up and beyond. You may even hate yourself a bit. You may also be a communist, or you or your parents were at least hippies. You don't own much and is happy with that. You do not mind much what the tax rate is and that the tax money is going to fund the life of bums and junkies.

The dull stuff in the sink, then drink the fresh stuff

You have no tolerance for unpleasant things. If things get though you will quickly quit and will not try to give you time to acclimatize to the bad stuff. You probably only have beautiful and popular friends or at least try very hard to alienate ugly losers. You often get tired of the same people and want to do new things, see new places and meet new people. You are possibly born rich. If you were not born rich, you will never become rich - then you probably have a lot of debt and like to blow all your money as fast as you get them. You probably have had a lot of boyfriends / girlfriends, but never have sticked around with anyone for a long time. You are very popular and a lot of people want to talk to you.

Drink the good stuff first, then wait and see with the bad stuff and possibly drink it

You like to be comfortable. You do not like to face reality, and possibly deny reality or live in your own fantasy world. You are dreaming about becoming rich one day and having a house, a boat, a car. You do not have any plan that is likely to succeed in the real world. You are however a bit poor and likely to say poor. You like to spend money, but avoid thinking about if you can afford it or not. Possibly a lot of credit card debt and often avoids to pay bills until they are long overdue. You are creative and have lots of ideas and maybe you are some sort of an artist. Reality often plays an ironic game and catches up with you so that you are forced to take big sips of the dull reality. The dull beverage has often become worse and even duller by the time you are forced to drink it in desperation.

The bad stuff first, then the good stuff

You are kind of a neat freak. You like to systemize and bring order to the dull stuff first before you are able to relax. You could be working in the police or in the military, or as a business man of some sort in the corporate world. You are a head on guy, people could be a bit scared of you and think you are difficult and have no emotions. You are very demanding of yourself and everybody around you. You have some long term plans that you try to make happen, but you are aware that things will take a lot of effort. You are that crazy guy that puts in all the effort. When the bad things are over with you like to enjoy quality. You do not mind tasting the utmost quality things for brief moments, then returning back to new challenges and projects.

Don't drink anything

You are very opinionated about things. You are not very flexible. Things must always fit you mindset and your ideas. You are possibly an anarchist, idealist, member of some religion or a member of some animal protection organization. You don't own any stocks in Lockheed Martin, Exxon Mobile or Halliburton.

J.B is

I think I would fit best into the drink the dull leftover from the glass and then drink the rest of the chilled fresh beverage. I am a though person that can deal with unpleasant thing in moderate amounts. I don't take pleasure in the self pain, but see it as a necessary evil sometimes. Stick it out, stay hard. Then after the nasty stuff is over I like to enjoy things in their fullest and most pure form. Unfortunately I have noticed that there is often more of the warm leftover then the cold fresh stuff to go around, but I guess that's life.
