Oh, Alter Ego. Cool. :) I have the original on disk stashed away around here somewhere.

Does this one still have all the 1980s references in it? Hehe. You used to be able to save up and buy a 512k computer, or something like that. :p

It's not a quiz. Once you get past the questions, it becomes a game where you get all of these little scenarios and choose how to respond to them, and then you get older, go to school, get a job, get married, buy a house, retire, and then die.

It's fun.

Well, I think so anyway.

This is NOT a mere personality test. The questions are just a quick formality to help calibrate the rest of the game.

That's the spirit! You are an easy delivery (your mom and dad took special classes to help you). Go out there and give 'em heck. (You're still too young to swear.)

Happy Birthday, and welcome to the world. From now on, life will begin to change rapidly. You will have to learn to accept responsibility, build up your resources, and manage yourself physically and emotionally.


The events that transpire over the course of the next few days include:

You develop a mild respiratory infection that causes some concern, but no later problems.
You develop an allergy to milk and have to be given special formula.
The doctors note that your breathing is a bit irregular and suggest special monitoring equipment to avoid serious problems.

I don't think so. Although, that does increase the riskiness of your decisions to a more realistic level -- it wouldn't be much like life if there were an "undo" button.

You don't have to click every icon (you can't actually, 'cause after a certain number it moves to the next stage), but you shouldn't click around randomly either, because the icons follow a roughly chronological path from top to bottom.

I got poisoned. Why my parents were keeping poison within the reach of a baby is a question that demands an answer, but at least I was ok in the end.

Anyway...


You have just passed through INFANCY. A brief look at your life up to this time shows the following:

Your family life has been:
Positive and nurturing, and as a result, you have begun to form the critical bonds that are important during this phase of life.

Physically you have been:
Not a very healthy baby.

Socially, during this phase in life nothing much is really expected of you. After all, you're still much too young to throw a successful cocktail party, and frankly, anyone who still dribbles on herself probably wouldn't make the ideal dinner guest. However, by now there are some things you should have mastered. Your progress in this area shows:

You have been the type of child who charms the lollipops off people. You have been the type of child who is huggable and gets her cheeks pinched by old ladies with bright red lipstick.

Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...

What a trustworthy little lady you are turning out to be! On the one hand, your trustworthiness is a desired trait. On the other, I am curious about why you don't explore your environment a bit more and get into things a bit.

For instance, haven't you ever wondered what that zipper on the side of your mother's pillow is for? Well, then, UNZIP it!

Your Thoughtfulness characteristic really doesn't count for much in this phase of life. Most children often find themselves at the mercy of their whims and impulses. You are allowed to be cranky now. People will tolerate it much better than when you are a teen-ager. Then your whining and carrying on will seem more objectionable.

One thing about your character that has a tendency to put people off is your aggressiveness. You are the type of baby who likes to pull on loose pieces of clothing, hair and any bulbous fleshy object that comes within your reach. You are going to have to learn the meaning of "make nice."

That wraps up your status for the very first years of life. I hope you like yourself. If not, you can always try to improve in the years to come. There's plenty of time.

Christ this thing takes a long time.....


You have just passed through CHILDHOOD.

Family life is progressing poorly. You don't seem to have the strong contact with your family that helps provide the foundation for good relationships later in life.

Physically, you are not very healthy. Be careful to avoid situations that could lead to illness.

Socially, this can be an awkward phase of life, especially when you hit the ripe old age of nine or ten. Should you like boys? Should you not like boys? Decisions, decisions. All in all, you are extremely lovable. You are well-mannered and respectful of adults. Your social skills are so good that I'll bet before long you are throwing classy parties and attracting all the "right" people.

Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...

You are not the kind of girl that can be easily trusted. Some people might even call you downright sneaky at times.

You have a gentle, easy-going way about you most of the time. You have not had much of a problem getting your teachers to like you, and you seem to be able to control your temper, even when the boys tease you.

You are about to enter adolescence. It is a somewhat hectic time of life -- full of surprises. There will be many high highs, and many low lows. With each year you will gain responsibilities.

You may also notice that people will begin to start forgiving you less for things previously described as mere childhood habits. You will be expected to "act like a lady" and become helpful around the house. Sometimes you may become moody and teary without any reason at all.

Oh, yes... then there's the matter of boys. If you haven't noticed them much in this phase, I'm sure you will soon. They'll also be noticing you quite a bit.

An 'accurate' simulator of life around the world that allowed you to be a high court judge in the USA whilst living to the age of 126 and sleeping in a cardboard box on a street corner. I learn everything I know about the world from that thing.

Wooo...



You have just passed through ADOLESCENCE.

Family life can be very rough during adolescence. Even though your family expects you to take charge of your life, no one wants to let you have the freedom to do what you want.

Judging by your progress through life so far, your family life has been quite good, all things considered. Family members can be pains, but no one seems to mind it when you overhaul your hair for three hours every morning in the bathroom.

Physically you have been not very healthy.

Socially, this phase of life does present its share of problems. Most of these problems fall into the category of boys. Life must have been pretty simple before they showed up. Your social adjustment has been remarkable.

You are developing a relationship with Peter, so you see how tricky things can get.

Now, regarding your emotional development...

You are a remarkably trustworthy young woman. This trait is bound to take you far, emotionally and vocationally. You are developing into the type of adult that people can confide in. Unfortunately, the burden that comes along with this characteristic is the tendency for people to tell you their problems. You become the strong shoulder that everyone cries on.

A positive aspect of your adolescence is your ability to resist temptation and not give into your impulses. Since adolescence is a time for testing limits, this can get some people into some pretty dangerous situations. However, leading an excessively sheltered life can be boring.

You seem to be enjoying most of what you do. Even though you experience "the blues" every once in a while, it's nice to see that you are not having a depressed, traumatized life.

Even though an occasional explosive outburst is common in most adolescents, you seem to have everything well under control. You seem to be sensitive and gentle.

You certainly have a good head on your shoulders. You are not only book-smart, but you also have plenty of common sense.

Now that your adolescence is almost over, it's time to be hurled out there into the abyss of the REAL WORLD. (I'll bet you didn't know that everything you did so far was part of the fake world.)

You have just passed through YOUNG ADULTHOOD.

This may have been a time in your life when family activities took a back seat to establishing some independence. In general, your family relationships are good.

Physically you have been not very healthy.

You have wisely chosen to stay away from drinking and drugs to a large extent.

In this phase of life you have faced several sensitive issues. These included what crowd of people to associate with and what material items bring recognition from this crowd. Somewhere along the line, you may have devoted a portion of your life to a worthy social cause like a charity event or the Peace Corps. Your social skills are excellent.

Congratulations on your engagement to Peter.

Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...

You are a very trustworthy person.

Even though we all have our secrets, you are doing a very good job of keeping your wilder side under control.

You are quite depressed.

You can be sensible and understanding.

You are a pretty jittery kind of person.

Vocationally, things do not always go very well. Perhaps you should try finding another job.

You certainly have a good head on your shoulders. You are not only book-smart; you also have plenty of common sense.

By this time, you may have been feeling a bit of pressure to achieve, get ahead, buy a house or possibly even (gasp!) settle down. You have gone through quite a range of experiences already, but there is a great deal more to come.

well I finally died. I got through the whole thing and died of natural causes in old age. I lived a fairly average life. The most notable thing I did was risking my life in middle age to rescue a boy who had fallen overboard on a ship, nearly dieing. I spend a good few hours on that, but I was really bored so it was cool.
Dakini
02-10-2006, 04:56
Oh, here's where I am so far:

You have just passed through MIDDLE ADULTHOOD.

Your family life has been good.

During this phase of life, your body doesn't always respond the way your mind would like it to. A sore back after a hard day's work or sore feet and legs after a long walk are not uncommon. In general, you are very fit for a woman your age.

Fortunately, you don't have to worry about drugs or alcohol ruining your health.

Socially, you are doing quite well.

I hope that you and Mark are enjoying your lives together.

Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...

You are a very trustworthy person.

Even though we all have our secrets, you are doing a very good job of keeping your wilder side under control.

You've seemed to have negotiated your "midlife crisis" without becoming depressed.

You can be sensible and understanding.

You are usually cool, calm and collected.

People see you as an extremely wise person. They rely on you often for advice and are pleased with the results they get from interacting with you.

The next phase of life is full of mixed blessings. You may feel old and lonely some days and cheerful and strong on others. Our society certainly has its share of prejudices against older folks, but you can have rich and rewarding experiences despite this.

You will have your chance to thumb your nose at people who think you are too old to live it up a little. After all, you were doing most of these things (and enjoying them) long before these people were toilet trained.

As a man I was a drug store clerk and a nurse for my entire life, job-wise, though I did graduate college. But, as seen earlier, I was killed on the operating table.

As a woman, thus far I've given some old lady a wonderful reason to live, avoided fights with huge girls, and otherwise been a wonderful, kind, gentle soul. In other words, my sister Rachael, essentially. :confused:

A little while later...

One day while you are stepping out of the shower, your father walks into the bathroom and sees you standing there, stark naked. His face turns white, and he is frozen in his tracks, staring. You are mortified as you try to cover up. He avoids you for about three days, trying to hide his own embarrassment.
Hahahaha. Poor dad.

A little while later...

There is a telephone call for you. Your father has just had a heart attack.

You are told to wait by the phone for further news. Three hours later, the phone rings again. The doctors tried their best but lost him. I'm sorry. Your father has passed away.

I know this must be very difficult for you, especially considering how close you are to your family.

Gym class will never be better. Students are reviewed for consideration. The principal has your name in front of him.


You have the right intellectual capabilities....
Socially, you are sophisticated enough...
Finally, your emotional sphere shows you can control your impulses. Congratulations! You're going!

:eek:

---

This was a very open-minded set of choices. You arrive at the country club waiting to meet Dad's boss's daughter. All of a sudden, this MOVIE STAR walks up to you. Your eyes glaze...your mouth gets dry and you must concentrate very hard to prevent your tongue from dropping out of your mouth. COULD THIS BE MATHILDA?

Nope. It's some lady who thinks you work there parking cars. Mathilda arrives complete with braces, pigtails and a squeaky laugh. As the night goes on, you find out she's not so bad. Dad gets a raise the following week. Now, about the company picnic next month...

The events that transpire over the course of the next few days include:

Your rich Aunt Martha places a $500 bond in trust for you.
You are the most beautiful baby in the maternity ward, and everyone takes your picture.
Your grandmother buys you ballet slippers and a violin for you to use in "a year or so," when you get older.
You have just passed through INFANCY. A brief look at your life up to this time shows the following:

Your family life has been:
Positive and nurturing, and as a result, you have begun to form the critical bonds that are important during this phase of life.


Physically you have been:
A healthy baby.


Socially, during this phase in life nothing much is really expected of you. After all, you're still much too young to throw a successful cocktail party, and frankly, anyone who still dribbles on herself probably wouldn't make the ideal dinner guest. However, by now there are some things you should have mastered. Your progress in this area shows:


You have been the type of child who charms the lollipops off people. You have been the type of child who is huggable and gets her cheeks pinched by old ladies with bright red lipstick.


Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...


What a trustworthy little lady you are turning out to be! On the one hand, your trustworthiness is a desired trait. On the other, I am curious about why you don't explore your environment a bit more and get into things a bit.


For instance, haven't you ever wondered what that zipper on the side of your mother's pillow is for? Well, then, UNZIP it!


Your Thoughtfulness characteristic really doesn't count for much in this phase of life. Most children often find themselves at the mercy of their whims and impulses. You are allowed to be cranky now. People will tolerate it much better than when you are a teen-ager. Then your whining and carrying on will seem more objectionable.

You have just passed through CHILDHOOD.

Family life is progressing very well. Dad is still the greatest hero of all time, and Mom is pretty terrific too.


Physically, you are healthy. You contract the standard fare of childhood diseases, assorted sniffles, coughs, bumps and stomach aches.


Socially, this can be an awkward phase of life, especially when you hit the ripe old age of nine or ten. Should you like boys? Should you not like boys? Decisions, decisions. All in all, you are developing good social skills. You don't always close your mouth when you are chewing food, but hey, nobody's perfect.


Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...


You are a remarkably trustworthy young lady. Your sense of ethics and fair play are quite remarkable for a child your age.


The degree to which you display aggressive types of behavior is somewhat alarming, especially for a young lady. You can be nasty and spiteful at times.


You are about to enter adolescence. It is a somewhat hectic time of life -- full of surprises. There will be many high highs, and many low lows. With each year you will gain responsibilities.


You may also notice that people will begin to start forgiving you less for things previously described as mere childhood habits. You will be expected to "act like a lady" and become helpful around the house. Sometimes you may become moody and teary without any reason at all.


Oh, yes... then there's the matter of boys. If you haven't noticed them much in this phase, I'm sure you will soon. They'll also be noticing you quite a bit.

You have just passed through ADOLESCENCE.

Family life can be very rough during adolescence. Even though your family expects you to take charge of your life, no one wants to let you have the freedom to do what you want.


Judging by your progress through life so far, your family life has been quite good, all things considered. Family members can be pains, but no one seems to mind it when you overhaul your hair for three hours every morning in the bathroom.


Physically you have been a healthy young woman. Accepting and being comfortable with changes in the way your body looks may have been a little bit of a concern to you during this phase, but you seem strong physically.


Socially, this phase of life does present its share of problems. Most of these problems fall into the category of boys. Life must have been pretty simple before they showed up. Your social adjustment has been remarkable.

Although you do not have a steady boyfriend at the present time, there's always the next life phase.


Now, regarding your emotional development...


Your trustworthiness and sense of fair play are commendable. You are an honest young woman, but there is always room for improvement.


A positive aspect of your adolescence is your ability to resist temptation and not give into your impulses. Since adolescence is a time for testing limits, this can get some people into some pretty dangerous situations. However, leading an excessively sheltered life can be boring.


You seem to be enjoying most of what you do. Even though you experience "the blues" every once in a while, it's nice to see that you are not having a depressed, traumatized life.


Even though an occasional explosive outburst is common in most adolescents, you seem to have everything well under control. You seem to be sensitive and gentle.


You certainly have a good head on your shoulders. You are not only book-smart, but you also have plenty of common sense.


Now that your adolescence is almost over, it's time to be hurled out there into the abyss of the REAL WORLD. (I'll bet you didn't know that everything you did so far was part of the fake world.)


You have just passed through YOUNG ADULTHOOD.

This may have been a time in your life when family activities took a back seat to establishing some independence. In general, your family relationships are good.


Physically you have been healthy. You have probably reached your peak physically. Any abuse you dish out to yourself now is likely to leave its mark.

You have wisely chosen to stay away from drinking and drugs to a large extent.


In this phase of life you have faced several sensitive issues. These included what crowd of people to associate with and what material items bring recognition from this crowd. Somewhere along the line, you may have devoted a portion of your life to a worthy social cause like a charity event or the Peace Corps. Your social skills are excellent.


You are developing a relationship with Rick.


Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...


You are a very trustworthy person.


Even though we all have our secrets, you are doing a very good job of keeping your wilder side under control.


You seem to be enjoying yourself. Even though you experience "the blues" every once in a while, it's nice to see that you are not having a depressed, traumatized life.


Your level of hostility is beginning to turn people away from you. You are frequently grouchy, short-tempered and irrational.


You are a pretty jittery kind of person.


Vocationally, you are doing well.


You certainly have a good head on your shoulders. You are not only book-smart; you also have plenty of common sense.


By this time, you may have been feeling a bit of pressure to achieve, get ahead, buy a house or possibly even (gasp!) settle down. You have gone through quite a range of experiences already, but there is a great deal more to come.

You have just passed through ADULTHOOD.

Your family life has been good.
Although you do not have a steady partner at the present time, there's always the next life phase, if that is what you are aiming for. If you are lonely, why not try the RELATIONSHIP ICON?


Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...


You are a very trustworthy person.


Even though we all have our secrets, you are doing a very good job of keeping your wilder side under control.


You are taking life pretty seriously, aren't you? While you are far from depressed, it sometimes seems that you don't always strive to be the happiest person you can be.


You can be sensible and understanding.


You are usually cool, calm and collected.


Vocationally, you are doing well, despite the day-to-day hassles and problems at work.


You certainly have a good head on your shoulders. You are not only book-smart; you also have plenty of common sense.


As you approach the middle years of life, age will probably play a more central role in your experience than it has in your past. For some individuals, the middle years are a time of depression and regret. For others, they mark the beginning of a settling down period of contentment.


Life can always be as rich and full as you want it to be. You might not be able to climb the highest tree in the forest anymore, but now may be the first time that you allow yourself to experience its beauty without needing to conquer or possess it.

You have just passed through MIDDLE ADULTHOOD.

Your family life has been good.


During this phase of life, your body doesn't always respond the way your mind would like it to. A sore back after a hard day's work or sore feet and legs after a long walk are not uncommon. In general, you are very fit for a woman your age.

Fortunately, you don't have to worry about drugs or alcohol ruining your health.


Socially, you are doing quite well.

I hope that you and Rick are enjoying your lives together.


Now, regarding your emotional and personality development...


You are a very trustworthy person.


You've never lost that youthful zest for life, have you? Unfortunately, your walks on the wild side have gotten you into more than one spot of trouble.


You've seemed to have negotiated your "midlife crisis" without becoming depressed.


You can be sensible and understanding.


You are usually cool, calm and collected.


People see you as an extremely wise person. They rely on you often for advice and are pleased with the results they get from interacting with you.


The next phase of life is full of mixed blessings. You may feel old and lonely some days and cheerful and strong on others. Our society certainly has its share of prejudices against older folks, but you can have rich and rewarding experiences despite this.


You will have your chance to thumb your nose at people who think you are too old to live it up a little. After all, you were doing most of these things (and enjoying them) long before these people were toilet trained.





One thing about your character that has a tendency to put people off is your aggressiveness. You are the type of baby who likes to pull on loose pieces of clothing, hair and any bulbous fleshy object that comes within your reach. You are going to have to learn the meaning of "make nice."


That wraps up your status for the very first years of life. I hope you like yourself. If not, you can always try to improve in the years to come. There's plenty of time.

After a long, but very relaxing day, with a deep sigh you climb into bed and sink into the warm, cushiony fabric. As you drift off, feelings of intense serenity and well-being overwhelm you. Pleasant images of childhood visit with sweet memories of Mom and Dad, school, and growing up.

The memories flash by your mind's eye with startling reality -- the smell of school on your first day, the flowers your boyfriend brought you on your first date. You recall places you haven't visited for years in picture-perfect detail. Friends and neighbors who have gone on greet you.

They are filled with excitement to see you, though you soon realize they are not communicating their joy in words. It's almost as if...



this will go on forever...

You have died.

Well, when you're presented with the following, what can you expect yourself to do?
As you kiss her, you feel her moving close to you, pressing her chest up against yours. You can:

Select an action :

>>GIVE HER A FRENCH KISS
>>TRY TO TOUCH HER ON THE OUTSIDE OF HER BLOUSE
>>NIBBLE ON HER EAR
>>EXCUSE YOURSELF SAYING "I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING I GOTTA DO"
>>KEEP KISSING HER
Life is full of so many choices...

It won't let me play. It says I don't have cookies enabled. :(

And after that, just click the various icons to get different scenarios. How you answer them affects your life. A-like so:

It tastes so good that you drink a large portion of it. After a while, your stomach begins to feel queasy and upset. You get dizzy and begin to feel faint. You call out for some help but no one seems to hear you.

The liquid in the bottle was poison. An ambulance comes to take you to the hospital, where your stomach gets pumped. You are only slightly aware of what is going on but know that your parents are crying and looking frightened.

The doctors work on you for several hours. Your stomach and intestines are badly burned. You have ingested a large quantity of highly toxic cleaning fluid. You lie still for a very long time. Your father's chest rises and falls with great sobs as he holds your hand and prays that you will survive.

After what seems to be a very long time, your eyes open and you begin to cry because you are very frightened. You will be healthy in time, but this illness will restrict your diet and activities for at least another full year.

Heh. I finally figured out how to be more gentle and got it way up into the nineties. That bit in childhood with the old woman really helps along that line.

When I got to old age, I adopted another kid to try to stave off the inevitable, but eventually nothing would let me do anything...except die of old age. :(
