Community Attachment: Accurate. One of my goals is posting things that other people find interesting enough to discuss. This is because my favorite LJs to read are ones that do that; I consider it a marker of success. I have a ways to go, though.
Meme Sheepage: Accurate. I only try ones that seem amusing or useful, and if the results are dull, I ignore them. I do enjoy creating new memes, and I'm pleased when people spread them.
Original Content: Accurate. My blog basically has three modes: relay (I find cool things and share them), report (updates on my writing and life), and invent (creative and original ideas). A key reason I blog is to promote my writing. I figure if I get you hooked here, you'll track down other things elsewhere; and some of you have, so it's working.
Psychodrama Quotient: Mostly accurate. I don't enjoy reading about emodrama. There are friends of mine who go through rough times, and I provide what support I can because they're friends, but it only gives me satisfaction if I actually come up with some solution that helps a bit. I generally don't think that spreading interpersonal tension by talking about it is a good idea, so I try to avoid it. But my self-control is not infinite, and there are times when I feel compelled to call a spade a spade. ... sometimes in three or four languages, and words of four letters.
Attention Whoring: Somewhat accurate. I absolutely desire your attention, but I'm more interested in getting it with my own writing than someone else's quiz. I don't require attention, but it sure helps put the beans on my table if you buy things I've written, either directly from me or from some publisher who may then decided to hire me again.
