Interesting quiz.

You Were an Intuitive Kid

As a kid, your power element was water. You were a very balanced and intuitive kid. You were probably always more emotionally mature than the children around you. You may have found it easier to relate to adults than most kids. And while it may have been hard for you to relate to the kids around you, it's likely you had a very close friend or two. Deep connections were important to you from an early age, and you were the type most able to form a 'BFF' bond with someone. As a kid, you saw things in the abstract. You did best when you were able to daydream, play, create, and engage your imagination. You probably found it challenging to sit still in a structure classroom. You may not have made trouble, but your mind was likely elsewhere.

What Type of Kid Were You?

Blogthings: Cheaper Than a Therapist

Sounds like me, alright. Still does. I remember in my youth group, I usually preferred hanging out with the leaders than the other kids. But there was usually at least one girl I'd really gravitate to as a close friend.

Last year, I went with Dad to his high school reunion and I felt completely at home there, with music I knew and loved, an awesome restored classic car outside the place, people who grew up in the era I most enjoy the shows from, and yummy food. I wish the things didn't just come every five years; I just love going. (I've been to three.)

I felt a lot more at home there than I generally do with the local people my age. Of course, when I run across someone my age who is interested in the things I like, then I feel completely at home in that scenario, too. So it's less about the ages and more about the shared interests.

I never really was that fond of school. That said, I always had good grades. Things I loved most were History, Earth Science, and some of the literature. I did not like my particular English class/assignments because the instructor and I often disagreed. And I have always hated math. I can do it well when I understand it, and sometimes it's even fun then, but I tire of it quickly. And I always seem to run up against something I don't understand and then spend ages feeling like tearing my hair out. I would absolutely go bonkers in any job that required me to deal with math constantly.

I have loved making up stories for characters I love and role-playing since before I was five. Mom remembers me dictating stories to her about My Little Ponies and Beetlejuice (TV version). I could not get enough of pretending to be Darkwing Duck on the prowl for evildoers. And I absolutely adored making up adventures with my action figures and the paper dolls I'd have Mom draw of all the characters I liked who didn't have action figures.

Ah, good times.
