GrrlScientist is an evolutionary biologist, ornithologist, aviculturist, birder and freelance science and nature writer. A native of the Pacific Northwest, she relocated from Seattle to NYC with her parrots after earning a BS in Microbiology (emphasis in Virology) and PhD in Zoology (Ornithology) from the University of Washington. In NYC, she was the Chapman Postdoctoral Fellow at the American Museum of Natural History for two years, pursuing part of her "dream" research project by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the parrots of the South Pacific islands. GrrlScientist and her five parrots are currently relocating to Germany, where she will continue writing her blog while also writing a book and learning German. (Meanwhile, her parrots will continue to nibble on her extensive personal library.)

| What Your Hands Say About You |
 You are logical, analytical, and rational. You have good verbal skills. Idealistic and dreamy, you tend toward the impractical. You have a knack for getting yourself in sticky situations. Brainy and intelligent, you are intellectual to the point of being incomprehensible. Your emotions tend to be nervous and potent. Your energy - both positive and negative - deeply impacts your life. |
I had no idea that hands could say so many conflicting things about a person .. did you?

Hah, I got the same exact reading.
Odd timing on this quiz for me -- I shook hands with a girl tonight and she complimented me on my hands being soft. Sadly that wasn't a question on the quiz :)

Apparently my hands tell me I have good people skills. Hmmm.
And this is a bit of a bummer:

Sorry GS, but this is just one of the most bogus of these polls I've seen yet, from the very first question (no option for ambidexterity), through every question asked relative to an undefined "average". Some of the other polls have been at least entertaining, but this one is "not even silly".
