Instagram apparently knows I love corporate astrology! I got recommended this video, about asking your partner if they’re a fairy, a witch, a princess, or a mermaid.
I can’t remember which is which and my Instagram timer has run out for the day, but I think I’d say “witch.”

Which one are you? And what do you think it says about yourself?
(Don’t bring this to your next office mixer though.)
This video is attacking me, personally, and every Corporate Astrology post I have on here. 🤣
And like her caption says, this isn’t a diagnostic criterion, it’s just a meme. And it’s still funny.
This was an interesting “corporate astrology” exercise!
Here are your totals for each house, there were an equal number of questions for each house and 20 is the highest possible score per house. The highest score would be your house affiliation. If you score equally on two houses...idk flip a coin or pick which one you prefer
2nd: 16
3rd: 13
4th: 13
5th: 13
6th: 16
7th: 16
8th: 14
9th: 13
You can find the quiz at this website.
The house I thought I matched up with the best was Sixth House, so, that’s not too surprising. But it’s interesting how close the point spread is.
This was a cool personality quiz.

I am a level 5 Lawful Good Halfling Wizard! Find out what kind of D&D character you would be!
Lawful Good – A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. They combine a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. They tell the truth, keep their word, help those in need, and speak out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.
Halfling – Halflings are clever, capable and resourceful survivors. They are notoriously curious and show a daring that many larger people can’t match. They can be lured by wealth but tend to spend rather than hoard. They prefer practical clothing and would rather wear a comfortable shirt than jewelry. Halflings stand about 3 feet tall and commonly live to see 150.
Wizard – Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard’s strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.

Looks like I’m a Truthwatcher. That’s cool; I don’t know much about them yet but I’m excited to see more as the series progresses! (I just finished Oathbringer. Please no spoilers.)
Continue reading “Knights Radiant”I recently had the delight of discovering this dichotomy in humans: are you a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet, and are you yoked to someone like you or someone different from you?
I first heard of it in this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomenOver30/comments/zivdeq/does_your_partner_do_this_not_sure_what_to_call_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
And here’s the original essay on Slate: https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/06/chaos-theory.html
My toxic trait (as the kids these days say) is that I’m a chaos Muppet who aspires to be an order Muppet. This can sometimes lead to tears.
Frog is an Order Muppet; Toad is a Chaos Muppet.
Like many “corporate astrology” determiners, I enjoy the question of “What Ajah are you?” from the Wheel of Time books by the late Robert Jordan (and, lately, the excellent Brandon Sanderson).
I got to talking with a friend today about it – she was hoping that the Brown Ajah we will see in Season Two would have lots and lots of pockets, since they are basically research academics (like her)!
Since my friend so clearly identified with the Brown Ajah, I started wondering: what Ajah am I? Descriptively, I’m probably Blue Ajah, because I am always arguing with people but also trying to understand them. But when I first read the books, I really wanted to be Yellow Ajah – whether this is due to over-identification with Nynaeve or just my nascent need to Fix everything (wrench/ear!), I loved the Healers.
But then! Then we got on the subject of sexual orientations, and all bets were off.
Someone on Reddit made a post about “which of the Seven Bells are you?” – from the Sabriel series – and it’s delightful.
Anyway, I’m Dyrim.
