the art of boredom

I’ve always avoided those frivolous ‘personality quizzes’ but I came across an interesting one designed by the New York Times via the VisualDNA platform and decided to give it a try. Yeah it’s a marketing plug, but I still thought the results were kind of interesting.

You’re a Trendsetter

You have a tendency to spot small, beautiful details and are most drawn to the unusual that have their own sense of unique history. It’s your ability to see hidden beauty in all corners of the world that makes you such a style maven to all your friends. There’s a strong, thoughtful element to your character that means you love anything with a sense of intrigue to really get your heart racing.

Lively and confident, you’re someone who likes to make a big impression. You understand that first impressions count and that you won’t always get a second chance. You’ve got great taste and strive to be one step ahead of the crowd. Your passion for fashion means you’ve got a bit of a reputation amongst your friends for creating your own style. Keeping an eye on the trends, you know what suits you but while adopting the values of society in dress and taste, you are just as concerned with inward, spiritual beauty as with looks. The key is to allow yourself to appreciate life’s journey while holding fast to that which matters most to you.
