You are 'Latin'. Even among obsolete skills, the
tongue of the ancient Romans is a real
anachronism. With its profusion of different
cases and conjugations, Latin is more than a
language; it is a whole different way of
thinking about things. You are very classy, meaning that you value the
classics. You value old things, good things
which have stood the test of time. You value
things which have been proven worthy and
valuable, even if no one else these days sees
them that way. Your life is touched by a
certain 'pietas', or piety; perhaps you are
even a Stoic. Nonetheless, you have a certain
fascination with the grotesque and the profane.
Also, the modern world rejects you like a bad
transplant. Your problem is that Latin has
been obsolete for a long time.
What obsolete skill are you?

Thanks to Mr. Shorthand Jay for the link to the quiz.
I think that the obsolescences are randomly assigned. I came out to be Gregg Shorthand the first time (which description I didn't think went with my answers.) Took the quiz again and deliberately gave an answer to each and every question that differed from my first answer. Yup, it gave me Gregg Shorthand, again. Go figure.

Good God, that's a scrambled discription! And interest in the "grotesque and the profane" is just a real cozy little personality twist to lay on you.
I've had Latin, and like being in the military, I tend to think it makes you a better person! lol But interest in the grotesque?? A lot of this doesn't sound like you.

Hah! I'm Gregg Shorthand, too. Cop Car, this test is for someone who is 20.

Buffy - Maybe I have a secret life you don't know about.
Cop Car - Never try to fool a test, even totally random answers may point to the truth, since the answers aren't usually truly "random".
