Your Brain's Pattern
Your mind is an incubator for good ideas, it just takes a while for them to develop. But when you think of something, watch out! Your thoughts tend to be huge, and they come on quickly - like an explosion. You tend to be quiet around others, unless you're inspired by your next big idea.
Idealistic and thoughtful, you have the mind and ideas to change the world. And you have the charisma of a great leader, even if you don't always use it!
The purpose of your life:
Saying truths that other people dare not say.
Famous purples include:
Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Susan B. Anthony
Careers for you to try:
Political Activist, Inventor, Life Coach
personal note: I always knew I was meant to be an organizer!
You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is.
You tend to avoid confrontation and stay away from sticky situations.
You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly.
You tend to always dream of things within reach - and you usually get them.
You are a caring, kind, and selfless partner.
Unsurprisingly, your love style is the most rare.
You are willing to sacrifice your world for your sweetie.
Except it doesn't really feel like sacrifice to you.
For you, nothing feels better than giving to the one you love.
You are amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident.
You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you.
You've got the brains to do anything you want. And it is possible you end up doing everything you want.
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

I have seen the errors of my ways; I have sinned by using a CTR Monitor. Not to worry though for I have repented... I have stolen your monitor... Return is not an option! :D
