Scorpio

I'm a Scorpio. Yes, for those of you who weren't aware, it is true. And I'm sure for those of you who actually know me, this comes as no surprise.

This morning I received an email from my friend about their horoscope. I decided to take a little quiz to see how many characteristics I have of a "True Scorpio". According to www.lifescript.com : "You have several Scorpio characteristics, but you are lacking common Scorpio traits such as the need to control other people or intense jealousy. Your nature is more easygoing and trusting. You still possess that Scorpio persistence and intuition, however."

Not that I think a ten question quiz can completely pinpoint my personality or anything, but something I find remotely entertaining nonetheless. Here's the breakdown of a Scorpio:

"Scorpio is suspicious of other people's intentions and motives. You rarely open up to someone until you are certain you can trust him or her.

Scorpio is attracted to power and can be quite opportunistic. You believe that everyone in your life has a specific purpose to helping you achieve your objectives.

Scorpio is the most jealous sign of the zodiac. You demand complete loyalty from a partner and will not tolerate a partner who is flirtatious.

Although Scorpios tend to pry into other people's lives, they dislike anyone intruding into their personal business. You are extremely secretive and find it difficult to open up to anyone.

The Scorpio person is determined and also quite competitive. You enjoy a challenge and always finish what you start.

Scorpios can be loners. You don't like to seek out other people and have a hard time relating to others because of your inability to open up.

The Scorpio person is ambitious and determined. Once you have decided on a goal, you rarely give up until you have achieved what you set out to do.

Scorpios are intuitive to the point of being psychic. You usually read situations and people correctly and rely on this ability to help you make decisions.

Scorpios have a deep-seated need to be in control. When you are not in control of a situation, you become stubborn and uncooperative.

Like the other two water signs, Cancer and Pisces, Scorpios tend to be emotional. However, unlike Cancer and Pisces, you hide this trait extremely well. You are sometimes perceived as cold and insensitive due to your apparent lack of emotion."
