Locus of Control Test
http://similarminds.com/cgi-bin/locus.pl
Actually ,I didn't need a test to tell me this and neither do you probably. It's nice to get an inside glimpse of others though. Locus of Control Test Results Internal Locus |||||||||||||||||| 71% External Locus |||||| 29% In the 60s Psychologist Julian Rotter developed a theory called Locus of Control of Reinforcement. His theory centered around whether someone thinks their life is more influenced by external factors like fate, genetics, luck, environment (external locus of control) OR by internal factors like effort, tenacity, and free will (internal locus of control). Your results suggest you generally believe that internal factors like drive and free will define you more than external factors like genetics, fate, luck, and environment. Thus, you have an Internal Locus of Control |

No, in Canadian, "Lotus Land" refers to Vancouver.
I am not making this up. |

I work with remote admins in Vancouver.
I'll be sure and let them know they've been immortalized in an obscure lyrical reference.
