What my name says about my personality, memed from jvowles.

What David Means

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

The last paragraph is fairly accurate (although note it seems to contradict the first one; surely someone who "likes his ducks in a row" would finish what he started?), but as for the rest of it...

I entered the name "The Internet" just to see what it would happen. It deleted the space, turning it into "Theinternet", but the first paragraph at least was a scarily accurate description of what the Internet would be like if it was anthropomorphised:

"You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble."

That sums it up quite well, really. ("Usenet" is a little more surreal, btw.)

Ah, I've got it. It does it letter by letter. The paragraph we have in common is for the letter "i".
