What is Your LIfe Colour? ( test)

You scored mainly in the Water-Earth quadrant. This 'green' quadrant highlights the 'down-to-earth' aspect of your personality and your enjoyment of everyday life. You like to 'go with the flow', enjoying all sorts of practical experiences. Your life is like a river which flows across the ground, meandering towards the sea. When obstacles arise you will adapt and flow around them, without too much worry or concern. An 'earth' person will very much live life in the present, rather than worrying too much about the future.

People who map into this quadrant will often seek a variety of everyday experiences and base their decisions on what they have personally experienced, rather than what someone has told them or what they have read about. Therefore, sometimes you may delay making a decision because you have no 'real world' data to tell you what to do. You like to be totally happy with any decision before taking action.

You are likely to be good observer and take in a lot of visual data. Details are important to you and you will often take time to find out how something works. You usually like the 'best' in everything you do and therefore your standards and expectation of others may be too high. Remember that no-one is perfect!

Quality in everything you do is important to you. However, realize that you may sometimes have to compromise to meet the needs of others.



I've missed these little quizzes!

I think the forum is good as it brings together people from a variety of disciplines which can be useful when you need advice as you you can get viewpoints from a totally different perspective. Also people are all at different stages of the PhD process which again is useful when you want advice or help. As the Phd process can make you into a bit of a loner or make you go out of your mind, it's nice to have a forum like this where you can see that you are not alone!!

The answer is yes you have 2 DNA's

Basically whenever you have any form of transplant like a bone marrow transplant the tissue put into the body will contain different DNA to that of the recipient. As a result the recipient becomes a Chimera meaning they have double DNA. However the DNA from the donor and recipient will not merge to form a 'super DNA' they will remain separate entities. The whole reasons things like bone marrow transplants work is because the donor's DNA is able to replace the fault that is caused by the recipient's DNA resulting in diseases such as leukaemia. So if you have a bone marrow transplant your body's cells remain your own however your blood cells would have a mixture of your DNA and the donor's DNA.

hope this helps 8-)
