Which did you pick?  Read below to see what type of person you are:

ORANGE – If orange is your favorite fruit, it speaks of a person who has enduring patience and willpower. You like to do things slowly, but very thoroughly and are completely undaunted by hard work. You tend to be shy, but are reliable and trustworthy friend. You have an aesthetic bent of mind. You select your partner with care, and you love with all your heart, and not in for just a fling. You avoid conflict at all costs.

APPLE – If apple is your favorite fruit, you are an extravagant, impulsive and outspoken person, often with a bit of a temper. While you may not be the best organizer yourself, you make a good team leader and are good at taking things forward. You can take quick action in most situations. You enjoy travel immensely. You ooze with charm when you are with your partner. You have an enthusiasm for life, unmatched by most.

BANANA – You are a softy! Loving, gentle, warm and sympathetic by nature is the banana lover. You often lack in self-confidence and are quite timid by nature. People often take advantage of your sweet temper, and sheer vulnerability to a situation. You adore your partner in every which way, both for their mental and physical beauty! Because of the way you are, your relationship is always very much in harmony!

COCONUT – The coconut lover is a serious, very thoughtful and contemplative person. Though you enjoy socializing, you are particular about the company you keep. You tend to be stubborn but not necessarily foolhardy. Shrewd, quick-witted and alert, you ensure that you are right on top of any given scenario, especially at work. You need a partner
with brains, and while passion is important it certainly isn’t everything for you.

PINEAPPLE – You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in asking career changes, if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection.

PAPAYA – You are truly fearless and take much that happens in life in your stride. You give considerable thought to things you do. You have a sense of humor that, along with your generous nature, keeps you in most people’s good books. You are a go-getter in your professional life, and have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. You enjoy
meeting new people and seeing new sights whenever you can. Your sense of humor is what attracts members of the opposite sex to you more than anything else. It is simply charming!

MANGO – A mango lover is a personality to reckoned with; quite often, you are a person who has quite fixed ideas, and influencing you is not an easy task. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes, and at times even like to control a situation ion. You enjoy getting involved in something that presents mental challenge. Strong as you
may be, you are like a kitten when you are with your partner. You accommodate the love of your life, and make up for all the strong will elsewhere!

CHERRY – If cherry is your favorite fruit, life isn’t always as sweet for you. You often face ups and downs, particularly professionally, and find that you make small sums of $$$, instead of a lump sum. You have a fertile imagination and are often involved in creative pursuits. You are a very sincere and loyal partner, but find that expressing your feelings
is not very easy. Your home is your haven, and you love nothing more than being surrounded by close family and your beloved partner.

BLACK GRAPES – You are a polite person in general, but do have quick flare-ups of temper that cools down just as quickly. You enjoy beauty in all forms, including beautiful people. You are very popular because of your warm, gregarious nature. You have a zest for life; you enjoy everything you do, right from the way you dress, to your style and
your day-to-day life. Your partner must share your zeal and zing for life to enjoy all you have to offer!

PEACH – Like a peach, you enjoy the juice of life and all its lush ripeness! You are the friendly sort, and are quite frank and outspoken, which adds to your charm. You are quick to forgive and forget; and value your friendships highly. You have an independent and ambitious streak in you that make you a real go-getter. You are the ideal lover, fiery and
passionate but sincere and faithful in love. You don’t, however, like to display all that passion in public.

CUSTARD APPLE – You are a modest and conservative person who can be quite sensitive at times. You tend to be thoughtful and contemplative, and therefore are rarely rash in doing things. You are quite ambitious and are good at anything that requires much detailing or working with numbers. You are quick at finding fault with others. While looking for a partner, you value a person’s intellect far above their looks or good old passion. You are quite shy and not very comfortable demonstrating affection.

PEAR – If you put your mind to something you can do it successfully, but by and large you tend to be fickle and have trouble completing a task with the enthusiasm you started it with. You need to know the results of your efforts almost immediately. You enjoy mental stimulation and love to get into a good discussion! You tend to be a restless and high-strung person, and are easily excited. Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s perfect! It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections!

Psychopath Test

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result.  This is not a trick question.  It is as it reads. No one I know has got  it right. Few people do.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know.  She thought this guy was amazing.  She believed him to be her dream guy so much that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.  A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?

[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]

Answer:

She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.  This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to determine if one has the same mentality as a killer.  Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly.  If you didn’t answer the question correctly, good for you.

Color Test

There are things in life that just drives you crazy.  I recently ran into this website that drove me nuts.  It’s a color test and it’s supposed to help lower the cholestrol in your brain or help slow Alzheimer’s.  Haven’t found any truth to it yet, but this color test is fun regardless.

The point?  Click on what the color of the word instead of the word itself.  Sound easy enough.  Except you’ve got only 4 seconds to chose.

It takes approximately 5 tries to get 100%.  Try and see how many tries it takes for you to get 100%.

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

Just try this.  It is from an orthopedic surgeon. This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can’t. It’s pre-programmed in your brain!

1.  While sitting there you are at  your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and  make clockwise circles.

2.  Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6′ in the air with your right Hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so !!!  And there’s nothing you can do about it !!!!

You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.

Send it to your more intelligent buddies to frustrate them too.
