So with Kevin Voss' urging, I took the echemistry.com personality profile (It's free, but really long. I'm talking 224 questions long). I was skeptical at first, but when I read what it came up with I was dumbfounded with its accuracy. Let me know if you think it pegged my personality! Oh, and PS: I'm not actually trying to date anyone through echemistry. I just wanted to do the personality profile.
Echemistry.com profile:
You are exceptional and unique. There's really no way to categorize someone with all of your diverse talents. You are fun, spontaneous, clever and interesting. People like to be around you because of your easygoing, excited nature. Underneath the energetic exterior, you have a really soft, loving heart. You truly care about the people around you and take things personally when you've involved in something which doesn't work out.
You are fun to hang out with, fun to watch on stage, and it's fun to be you. You are a natural performer and you're likely to be the center of attention when you're with your friends even if you don't also work on stage.
You have a selfless love for other people which makes you a great friend and an ideal member of your community. People like you, and with good reason. You're always lending a hand when people ask and always brightening up any event that the group has.
Because of your shifting focus and upbeat nature, people take you somewhat less seriously than you expect, often because they're expecting a punchline at the end of your serious statement, and you probably have one ready.
You like to wake up each morning without a plan and see where the day takes you, hopefully on some safe but relatively exciting adventure. You begin a lot of projects, but finish few because the details get boring and something more fun is sure to appear.
You like to see everyone living harmoniously and can get irritated by whoever is currently rocking the boat and causing problems.
When faced with a problem you are most likely to solve it in the most obvious way, not implementing cumbersome standard methods.
As a leader or parent you are non-directive, preferring to see what happens on its own rather than lay down strict procedures and give orders. To you it is understood that any procedures developed by necessity today disappear tomorrow unless they are still absolutely required.
You know what tastes good, what feels good against your skin, and what smells satisfy you. You are quick to notice the signs of hunger, fatigue, sleepiness or discomfort in your body, and you can get quite irritable and distracted if those issues are not resolved in a timely fashion. Because you are attentive to the needs of your body you are likely to stop and remedy such issues before they become a problem.
You are the most likely type to be prepared with your jacket, umbrella or sunglasses when others are unprepared with such items. You are also the most likely to accidentally leave such items behind since you bring them more in the first place. You are likely to enjoy remodeling or redecorating when something about your environment is uncomfortable.
You portray a very even tempered image and that matches a calm interior.While you may prefer to have a mate, you don't need a partner like others seem to. In all sexual matters you have a lot more self control than most people.
You have a deep, philosophical side which is more personal and internal. A true friend is someone who can navigate both your public persona and your abstract side as well. A truly perfect friend will get all of that and be able to follow your thought processes without missing a beat, even when you make random, nerdy allusions to movies or books that most people totally don't get.
Your romantic relationships develop over time and your successful relationships are usually based on sharing the same intellect and moral values. Your match will share your values and love you for the way you make them laugh. Even as an adult you can act like somewhat of a child, and your partner will be naturally talented at tying up the loose ends: paying bills, routine maintenance and paperwork, that can sometimes slip by on your watch. In return you provide joy and laughter and help them loosen up when they let the pressures of life get to them. You are a constant party and your future partner will take care of the details you hate and then love you for the energetic fun that you are.

So with your suggesting, here's what it came up with for me...
"There's really no way to categorize someone with all of your diverse talents. You are fun, spontaneous, clever and interesting. People like to be around you because of your easygoing nature.
You are an incredibly nice, friendly person. It's always nice to have you with the group. You share in the laughter and calm down anyone who's getting flustered. You almost never want the spotlight yourself, because you really enjoy being part of the reliable backbone of a group of people who are all having a good time.
You have a selfless love for other people which makes you a great friend and an ideal member of your community. People like you, and with good reason. You're always lending a hand when people ask and always brightening up any event that the group has.
You are very generous, particularly with your possessions and have a somewhat communal, shared idea of possessions among everyone you meet.
You are artistic and skilled with your hands. You know what looks good together, what sounds good together, and what smells or tastes go together. This comes from a higher than normal tuned in attention to slight variations in color, texture, tone, and flavor.
You like to see everyone living harmoniously. That said, you quite admire people who stand up for their principles and rock the boat when something needs to be changed. You can get irritated, though, if someone causes the same level of commotion and only adds a negative feeling to the group.
When faced with a problem you are most likely to solve it in the most obvious way, not implementing cumbersome standard methods.
Most people you interact with do not really know you. This is partially because of your reserved nature (you don't tell them much), partially because most other types are less reserved (they spend too much time talking and not enough asking about you), and partially because you accept people the way they are (you don't feel much of a need to correct and evaluate others, so people don't realize how you think differently).
In fact, you have more interest in expressing yourself through your actions, even through song or dance, than through words, and you may give up too quickly when someone asks for a verbal explanation of your thoughts.
As a leader or parent you are only generally directive, preferring to see what happens on its own rather than lay down strict procedures and give orders. To you it is understood that any procedures developed by necessity today disappear tomorrow unless they are still absolutely required.
If you become difficult or cranky it is usually a result of someone else trying to impose some rule or boundary upon you personally, although your discomfort is usually short lived and relatively painless for all involved.
You have a deep, philosophical side which few people really get to know. You are constantly growing and evolving, always working to become the most authentic version of yourself. You live by pure, simple values and they're evident in every action you take. Because of your pure, honest goodness, anyone would be lucky to have you as a partner.
You are rare and unique, and your final match is just as unusual. A general overview of their details is on the next page.
You are a truly wonderful romantic partner. To you a relationship is about getting to know each other and love each other's quirks. You excel at making people feel comfortable in your presence. While other people are out judging each other and looking for reasons to disqualify a potential mate, you're enjoying the differences you encounter and offering endless affection to whomever you're considering. It's ironic that as accepting and loving as you are, your final match is so difficult to find. Other people simply have different priorities, and you deserve someone who will put you first and love you unconditionally in the same way that you naturally do for them. People with hearts as big as yours are few and far between, but our system specializes in locating them so we can introduce them to you.
You are not inclined towards desk work. You definitely don't want to be surrounded by stressed-out people though, although you'll take low-stress desk work over high-stress anything if given the choice. While you can survive in a corporate environment as well as anyone, you prefer hands-on practical work like building, fixing or creating something you can see, touch, taste or hear. You prefer work which is not fixed to a procedure, but which may, at any time, take an entirely new direction if the impulse hits you. Since you're interested in everything you're more likely than other types to end up in a job which you 'fell into' because there happened to be an opening and you were available. But when it comes to where you'd like to be, there's no doubt that you want something fun, with fun people where you don't have to stress or be bored.
You love to be entertained, and you hate to be bored. You're likely to spend more time seeking out really good entertainment than most other people. You're also more forgiving about your entertainment, identifying the best qualities regardless of whether it really connected with you or not. Your interests are more diverse than most people, you want to learn and you're interested in everything."
Now a good portion of this is accurate, some things are well bogus, but overall quite creepy in how it's determined some things...

Wow! This really is accurate! Here's mine:
You are likely to spend 80 percent of our life locked up after drunken brawls whith absolutely no memory of what you did to deserve it.
Women love you, but only in the most prurient sense. You love women too, because most of them are so good at holding your beer for you. You think girls are really cute when they are trying to act like they can do the same things men do.
After pulling the wings off of flies, your favorite activity is making fun of people who do personality profiles.
You like long walks, moonlit beaches, puppies and blonde Hooters Girls named "Trixi."
Your idea of an ideal date is walking with a girl through a field of wildflowers, then scaring her into letting you check her for ticks.
Wow! They got me pegged!

Kristen,
I dont' know who you are, or why you would be having lunch with my mom, but I'm not surprised that it was fun! My mom is a hoot! At 72 she can still sling the best hash in the truck stop, and she can throw back the Jack Daniel's as fast as you can set 'em up! Why, I've seen mom drink many a big fat biker-guy under the table! And the bikers and truckers love to bet on mom in arm-wrastlin' contests.
Did she show you her tattoos? Do you have that many tattoos, Kristen? What did you have for lunch?

Friends? You have friends? Wow.
I don't have any friends. I wonder why? I'm cute. I don't beat too many people up too much. I can hold my booze. I only break things when I'm angry. Sometimes I'm not angry - I remember at least three times. I have lots of colorful tattoos (chicks dig tattoos.) I shave my head (chicks dig shaved heads. Thick-haired guys have too much estrogen - they are girlie-men. I call that condition "Testosterone Insufficiency Tendency," or TIT for short.)
Why don't I have any friends?
- lutz (I'll bet DAN will be my friend!)
