I can’t resist these quizzes. I came to this one from the results at Eternal Echoes. It’s actually a rather silly one based on a very small number of questions. But the results are fairly close to the mark. I don’t have a history of excelling in leadership positions, but that is because for various mostly good reasons I haven’t actually been in many.
You Are a Colon |
 You are very orderly and fact driven.You aren’t concerned much with theories or dreams… only what’s true or untrue.You are brilliant and incredibly learned. Anything you know is well researched. You like to make lists and sort through things step by step. You aren’t subject to whim or emotions. Your friends see you as a constant source of knowledge and advice. (But they are a little sick of you being right all of the time!) You excel in: Leadership positions You get along best with: The Semi-Colon |
(Whatever the quiz says, and however close to the (punctuation) mark, your readers also should be reminded of your (poetic) turn with the apostrophe.)

i would never take a quiz in which i might be considered a colon…

Thanks, Kurk, Scott and Lingamish (from the pingback), but I am actually quite proud to be a colon.
You Are An Exclamation Point
!
You are a bundle of… well, something.
You’re often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama.
You’re loud, brash, and outgoing. If you think it, you say it.
Definitely not the quiet type, you really don’t keep a lot to yourself.
You’re lively and inspiring. People love to be around your energy.
(But they do secretly worry that you’ll spill their secrets without even realizing it.)
You excel in: Public speaking
You get along best with: the Dash
This is depressingly accurate!
Oh, to be a colon (of the punctation variety, that is)!
Peter, when I stumbled upon the quiz, “How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?” I immediately thought of you, great taker of quizzes and learning all kinds of interesting things about yourselves. (I enjoy them, too). Anyway, here’s the link if you are interested, and there are some other interesting quizzes there, too. My kids and I had fun seeing how many countries we could name in five minutes.
