Title: Rate Yourself
Sunday - May 9, 2008 12:28 AM (GMT)
If your overall person was to be rated, what score would you give yourself? The criteria are up for interpretation.
I'd give myself an 8. I'm not perfect in any way; I definitely have my flaws, but I think my redeeming qualities greatly overcome my negative ones. :p
EDIT~ I guess this could also be a How Confident/Cocky Are You? poll, LMAO.

Haha!
I'd give myself a 6 on the average day and a 9 on my best days, I guess? I voted a 7 today. I'm overweight but pretty, and although I can be really bitchy at times, I know I have a really good heart and really good intentions.

Weird poll. But fun.
Lucky number seven for me overall; I set high standards and want to be perfect to a fault, which mostly results in me failing and looking horribly hypocritical. I'm also a lazy procrastinator. But, when I do the things I want to do, I make sure to do them well. I have talents, I'm intelligent (when I'm using my brain at least!), and I have strong morals. In the looks department I would be considered a plain jane, but I don't much care. My charming personality makes up for silly vain things like a bumpy nose and Donald Trump bedhead. :p I am happy, healthy, and confident that my future holds good things. So 7.
Besides, God says I'm an 11/10. Can't argue with Him!
EDIT: *points down* Smart aleck.

I gave myself a one just because I could.

I was wondering which RPG-D member thought so incredibly low of themselves!
December, Esq - May 9, 2008 02:58 AM (GMT)
6 and I don't know why. I think higher of myself than that because I am comfortable with who I am, but because I haven't contributed much to society, I decreased my score.

It was kind of the opposite for me, in a way. I don't actually like myself, but I said I'd give myself a 9 on a good day because I really have done a lot of worthwhile things. I've done at least 1000 hours of voluntary community service in the past 5 years so I thought that should count for something.

I think some people judge themselves too much because they think they need to do so much for societies sake XD (not judging anybody though, it's just a general pressure society gives on young people nowadays, more in some countries then others).
I gave myself an 8. Why? Because I'm content with who I am and what I stand for. I am there if people need me. I am there when my work calls me up last minute, and 30 minutes later I'm on the work floor. I'm generally a positive girl, I don't like negative thoughts, am never depressed (quite surprised by this because it seems mental stuff seems to run in both of my parents families XDD). Unlike my mother I'm not one who stuffs up my feelings and bottles it all up. Unlike my father I can say sorry when I know I've done something wrong, and I don't linger on the past (he's been lingering on the same thing for over ten years now, long story). Can't be bothered to linger on stuff in the past, what's done is done. And I think that over the past five years I've grown a lot as a person. From a naive little girl who didn't really stand up for herself, I've become a confident, independant young woman. I'm a down-to-earth type, I don't like a lot of fuzz about something that's not worth a lot of fuzz, I don't like drama, normal is fine enough. And I respect people for who they are and what they believe in. I can hardly hate anybody really....
Of course I have other traits who could also be bad traits in certain situations. Mostly I use them in the good situations though XD. I can be stubborn, I really don't know... or well didn't know what I wanted to do with my life up until now (but I blame our society and schooling system on that XDD). And I can hold grudges... for five minutes *cough*. And I can be quite blunt, lets shove that off on the down-to-earth type thing.
Yeh, a bit why I rated myself an 8 XD.

I don't contribute to society, I'm annoying, I'm useless at many things, I'm often mean, conceited, unfunny, socially incompetent and sexually lost. Still, I gave myself a 10. I thought I'd be one of many, but nay, I am the only one. I'm not perfect, far from it, but I think that I'm one in a million, particularly in the society I'm stuck in and that I have some truly great qualities. For one thing, I can appreciate the fact that I have them, which many people apparantly can't. What sums it all best is that if I ever won an Oscar (fingers crossed) I wouldn't thank the director, or my coworkers, or God, or Bob my gardener, I would thank myself, possibly those who have helped me become who I am, and walk off, to never act again.
In the words of Mr. Wilde: "I am the only person in the world I should like to know thoroughly."
You're all gonna hate me now.

...There is a problem with the poll. For some reason, I was not able to rate myself an 11. Please to be fixing this at your earliest possible convenience!
PhoenixLily - June 19, 2008 05:03 AM (GMT)
I went with seven...I know that I'm pretty, and intellegent, but I have self esteem issues sometimes, and I'm one of those people who could go insane if you looked at me the wrong way. However I try my damndest to take care of my friends, and even though I am mostly socially inept, I try very hard to take care of people.
Bonnie - June 19, 2008 05:14 AM (GMT)
Today I'm going with a 9. I'm not gorgeous or thin, but I don't think that I should be lowered for that. I'm a generous person who likes to make other people happy. I've donated time to others, both as community service and just for being a good friend.
I feel good about my personality, although I can be just a wee tad annoying sometimes. And I sometimes can't stay on pitch, but we're working on that.
Overall, I'm a good person, I think.
macabremarionette - June 20, 2008 03:55 AM (GMT)
I gave myself a seven.
I may not fit in a size zero or be the prettiest of the bunch, but I have a bunch of other qualities that make up for it.
For example, I'm a pretty good drawer, singer, actor, and writer.
Not the best, but I'm good enough to where it can be considered a talent.
I'm also a pretty good person. The only people that dislike me - to my knowledge, ho ho - are people who get a taste of my bad side.
But its their fault they see that side o' me.

I gave myself a ten. Because I am God's child and His creation, I am perfect. But because He has given me free-will and I've screwed up a lot, I'm not perfect (perfect is represented by 100, by the way). I have made a lot of good decisions in my life and I have made a lot of bad. I am continually improving and at any one time I am the best I am able to be.
Heh it sounds so profound and/or pretentious. But yeah.

I'm a five, right in the middle. I think I'm doing pretty well personality-wise, but I could be in better shape than I am and well, I could really stand to be a wee bit more successful. Still, the latter will come in time and then maybe I'll get motivated to fix the former.
bumble_ - June 20, 2008 09:28 PM (GMT)
I gave myself a 9.
I have a great personality, lots of friends, I'm pretty gosh darn smart, I feel like I'm quite pretty. I'm feeling like I contribute a lot to my community - I help little kids learn to read, I've been helping get 17 years old pre-registered to vote and also today I shared my jelly beans with my cousin - even the really yummy flavors. Like Strawberry and Cherry and Pomergranete.
So today I'm a 9. I'll try to be a 9 again tomorrow, but I might be an 8 - if only because it's not supossed to be as sunny and I'm not always super pleasant when the weather's not nice.
The only reason I think I'm not a ten is because I'm not very modest about thinking I'm super awesome and also I can be a stubborn ass.
SmathNa - June 21, 2008 06:33 PM (GMT)
Interesting concept.
10/10, but I consider that room for improvement. Someday I'll learn to be a sensitive new-age woman, stop telling the truth constantly, and I'll be down to the more acceptable 9/10.

Nuuu, Sam! I like it when you're overbearing and critical. Stay toward the light!
I gave myself a ten, not because I think I'm a perfect person, but because I think I am a perfect me. Yeah, I have my flaws, and I make my mistakes, but I take ownership of it all. If I wasn't arrogant, impulsive, and selfish, I wouldn't be me. Likewise, if I wasn't a hard worker, confident, or respectful, I still wouldn't be me.
Plus I make beer, which must count for something.

I have to give myself a ten out of ten, and that is mostly because I AM unique. Not to bash teenagers, but a lot of teenagers that I know are so cliche and are practically all the same person. I try to show my true colors and I use my differences to my advantage and try to bring out the best in other people. I never get mad and even if I do get mad I am very forgiving. I don't mean to be, but that is just me. Which is sometimes a fault because I don't want people to think they can get away with pushing me around and not having me get mad. But then I don't let people push me around or anything. I am very proud of who I am and I wouldn't want to be like anyone else. I have a good conscience (sp?) and I find it almost impossible to be mean to someone. Basically my goal in life is to make everyone I meet have a better life because of me. AND I AM HONEST. I CAN LIE BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO BECAUSE EVEN IF THE TRUTH IS KIND OF MEAN, HONESTY IS ALWAYS THE BEST POLICY.
Okay, sometimes after a hard day I can be really bitchy to my family, so around my family I would have to vote myself an eight out of ten. I usually take out all my anger on them, but I do accept everyone in my family for who they are and I try really really hard to always be nice to them.
p.s. i do feel bad that i just wrote a paragraph about how great i am. i am not usually that cocky.
