A quiz meme. 'Meme' is pronounced 'meem' not 'me me'. Just in case you were wondering.

C...Carbon You scored 23 Mass, 32 Electronegativity, 49 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

Nobody understands you... no, not even organic chemists. The social individualist. You like your attention... but not TOO MUCH attention. You are able to form incredibly close relationships with many individuals, but you don't really get along with preexisting groups. You value equality in relationships, and don't deal well with overly submissive or demanding people. Well, whatever... thanks for making life possible... oh, and cut the global warming out.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 15% on Mass You scored higher than 51% on Electroneg You scored higher than 36% on Metal You scored higher than 1% on Radioactivity

'Meme' rhymes with 'gene'. Richard Dawkins used the word for his theory of how ideas can be transmitted from person to person like genetic material (hence the spelling of meme being reminiscent of 'gene') and only the most successful ideas survive, much like natural selection. One of the examples he uses is religion - a very successful meme - once someone has the idea they feel the need to spread it to other people (even using force). I guess someone somewhere down the line thought that it would be a neat way to describe all the quizzes etc that spread through blogging communities like wild fire.
