I Got Skalded! The Viking Persona Test

Test courtesy of anam_moon, from who's journal this nifty test came. I suppose this actually suits my personality best of all, actually.

Your result for The Viking Age Persona Test...

Skald

You scored 12% leadership, 22% spirituality, 12% violence and 48% intelligence!

FOLLOWER - SPIRITUAL - PEACEFUL - EDUCATED Skalds are the Norse equivalent to bards, or possibly minstrels. They are the ones responsible for over half of what we now know about Scandinavian culture, royalty and mythology today, for they passed down their lore by word of mouth and song from generation to generation until Snorri Sturlusson of Iceland wrote down the Eddas in the 13th century. Skalds were gifted poets with quick tongues who flattered kings with their art, and occasionally the kings themselves would be known as skalds (or else!). Skalds were highly respected for their wit and intelligence, and in some folklore, they were said to know of events happening in far off lands as they were happening.

Eye Are Ay GENIOUS!!1!

I really am taking too many of these quizzes...I think this will be the last one for a while.

But on the other hand, it's really a good quiz. And the interesting thing is, I think only ten years ago I would have scored much lower.

Writer's Block: Choose a Power

Teleport, of course. There would be just so much I could do with it. I could visit any nation in the world, any time. I would get a spacesuit and put satellites into orbit for a low, low price. I could plant a flag on the Moon, bring home sand from Mars... hell, maybe even visit other star systems.

Handy advice for time Travelers- in a song!

We're getting more and more stories on the bookshelves about people being tossed back in time to the medieval era, and bootstrapping themselves to wealth and power. Debates on the feasibility of this vary in tone from certainty to pessimism, and happily, all that has been condensed to a song. 

Myself, I think I would be toast...but you don't have to be!  Listen to the song!
