You're cool like Homer. The Greek one, that is, not the yellow one you'll find at the bottom 10% of this test. Hooray!

(Yeah, I know, maybe Homer wasn't an expert in writing systems - but Shirley, his status as a general hero of literature makes up for it!)

Also here's the answer key real quick.

1. Latin alphabet

2. Runic alphabet (Scandinavian)

3. Japanese

4. Syllabary

5. Cyrillic alphabet

6. Arabic

7. Tibetan script

8. Hebrew alphabet (Trivia: If you speak both Swedish and Hebrew you'll find that the sample text apparently reads something like "tjenamors galosch". How about that. =)

9. Decades

10. Tengwar

11. Cuneiform.

12. Greek alphabet

13. Alphabet

14. Glagolitic

15. Syriac

16. Gothic alphabet

17. Devanagari

18. True

19. Phoenician alphabet

20. Klingon

21. Braille (And here was your only chance to get a negative score, had you answered "American Sign Language".)

22. "I don't know" - because you don't ;-)

23. "I don't know" The language/cipher/hoax/whatever in question is from the Voynich manuscript, an unsolved mystery. (Although apparently it has been solved, or so I was told after writing this test, but I choose to ignore that because an unsolved mystery is so much cooler than a solved one. Especially if the solution is a boring one. =P )

You are the heart. "The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions, or a similar structure in annelids, mollusks, and arthropods." You are very compassionate and understanding towards other people. Like the heart, you experience emotion whereas the other organs do not (except for the brain, but we're not focusing on that right now). Even with strangers you are warm and kind and everyone loves you! In short:

You are more EXTROVERTED than INTROVERTED.

You are more EMOTIONAL than LOGICAL.

You are more CALM than ENERGETIC.

Aeolian Mode. Or just plain old Minor. All the "white keys" starting on A, and you've got a minor scale.

You have a dark sense of humor. You like to keep to yourself, finding social interaction rather difficult and draining, perhaps even boring. Sometimes you feel like life is a real drag, and question why you even bother. How depressing, dude. In truth, the thing that keeps you going is the vague notion and hope in a little thing called Love. You are a hopeless romantic. You often stare out the window and daydream, most likely about that special someone that you wish you were good enough for. Yes, love really does make the world go round, and it's not all rainbows and sunny meadows. That's not real love. Love is a brutal, gut-wrenching affair. You probably have some sort of creative talent, which is good. If you didn't have an outlet for all your emotions you'd probably lose your mind.
