Nocse Te Ipsum

[jack]

1. Fill out this quiz.
2. If you want, post this on your lj.
3. If/when at least four of your LJ friends have taken the quiz, see here

It asks you to choose which friend gave each answer, so you may wish to not give completely unhelpful answers, though it does mean the quiz does give you a chance.

I apparently know Angel pretty well, Owen and Mair less well, and Fluffle not at all. Which might be right :) I'm somewhat handicapped by Owen and Angel being in the same city, and Flurble and Fluffle being in Australia together, and really not knowing Fluffle at all. I tried the quiz again a couple of times to see, and did worse and worse every time, with the proportions about the same.

Er, shouldn't that be Nosce?

Or even Gnothi Seauton, as it says on Selwyn?

Yeah. I always think "nocse" and I tried really hard to get it right this time, but nothing doing. *shrug* Let it stand as a testament to my hopelessness.

Really, I wanted to say "know themselves" or something, but I couldn't be bothered.

Well, I've just filled it in, so you can try me if you want. :-) But I warn you, I didn't find a lot of the questions particularly relevant.

I found I was using writing style as much as "knowing" the person in my guesses.

I think that counts as 'knowing' -- certainly I expected phrasing, sense of humour and spelling to be instrumental. But if someone enters 'london' or 'at home', it might be typical to them, but not entirely helpful :)

oh, I also had the opportunity to cheat slightly, as out of curiosity about how it worked I'd tried the quiz as 'elseware' when not enough of my friends had signed up. since there's only one person who's on both our friends lists, I was able to assume anything that came up that I recognised was from that person...

... not that I think that made much difference. there was one instance in each of the times I took it. but I guess if you enjoyed that kind of puzzle you could start looking at people who've taken it and overlapping friends lists and reloading and determine who must have given which answer, for many of them. I don't know if enough people have done it to do that well.

maybe. when I'm not on dialup and on holiday and am looking for things to distract me from the washing up :-)

I did it as you first, before Angel did it, so might have had that advantage. I should do one myself with some refinements.

I've taken the test now...
