Amppax Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm also Dexter. Also, Nihil, I stopped watching SOA for the same reason. Not before I'd binge watched at least half of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm also Dexter. Also, Nihil, I stopped watching SOA for the same reason. Not before I'd binge watched at least half of it though. Yeah, I did about four or five episodes. Just could not justify continuing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbTherese Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I got Sherlock. I think all this says is that there's a strong likelihood Sherlock Holmes was secretly Catholic. Could be - Catholics are mainly "high-functioning sociopaths" - not particularly interested in people with leanings towards schizoid personality disorders? I guess if one is going to be a sociopath, Sherlock is one of the better ones?? I wonder how many types there are in that test. Some day I might take a few more to see what I get. From memory there are about five. When I first cut and pasted, all five appeared for some .......um........strange reason............. although my reading had said Sherlock.

AccountDeleted Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I've posted it on my family's private website. It will be interesting to see the results. I have my own ideas about different people but it all depends on how they perceive themselves when they answer the questions. I am not a big fan of anti-heroes either, but sometimes I get sucked into a story or into the characters and then I feel I need to see it out. I started Breaking Bad with no idea of what it was about and felt sorry for poor Walter and even felt I could understand why he felt driven to what he was doing in the beginning, but it soon escalated into something way far outside my comfort zone. I did watch it through to the end (curiosity by this time - same as House of Cards) but just felt the whole thing was a kind of morals tale - do this, this will happen. Maybe it was meant to be that way? I don't know. But I found the quiz to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benedictus Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I got Dexter Now a true sociopath would skew the test or give a different answer. Are you sure so many of you really are Sherlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure so many of you really are Sherlock too true. Can we be the one we like best instead? I think being Heisenberg would be great!

Gabriela Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I binge-watched Breaking Bad one year over Christmas vacation because my students wouldn't shut up about it so I figured I'd better watch it so I could "relate to their world" or some nonsense. I came out the other end with a severe case of "mean world syndrome". I don't recommend that series to anyone. At least not in binge format.

I came out the other end with a severe case of "mean world syndrome". I don't recommend that series to anyone. At least not in binge format. Like many shows, it got meaner and darker as it went along. In the beginning (that's how they smell of elderberries you in) you get attached to some of the characters, then bad things happen, then the characters start acting out of character and then they start doing bad things. It really is a kind of lesson about how the slippery slope to hell is paved with good intentions. Start slow and then before you know it, you are evil! And like you, I usually watch a series from start to finish because I watch it on Netflix. I like a really long series (several seasons) because it's like reading a long book, it goes on for a long time, but about 2/3 of the way through most series, you wonder how you got sucked into watching it!

AgnesHolyInnocents Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I was just wondering tonight what type of sociopath I am, and the answer was right here on Phatmass! I'm Sherlock too. I don't even have tv, so I haven't seen any of these shows. I wish they had a "Which saint are you?" test! Now I just need to find out what color my brain is...

If you liked Downtown Abbey, you'll LOVE The Grand Hotel. And it is LOOOOOOONG! I wish they had a "Which saint are you?" test! I think there is one of those. Didn't PhuturePriest or somebody post one a while back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah, we all got St. Bruno for that quiz. I think it must have been made by Carthusians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have created a new thread for the saints quiz and moved all subsequent discussions of it there because I think it warrants its own topic, and the saints are just that great.
