Disclaimer: no squaring of circles takes place in this article. If you feel you were misled and that this inconvenienced you to a litigious degree, contact our attorneys.

Which one are you?
Are you a square peg in a round hole or a round peg in a square hole? Not sure? You can find out with this fun and entertaining quiz.

Select the selection that best describes what you would select:
A. The world seems angular, full of corners that don't accomodate me. I feel like I don't fit.
B. The world seems too smooth, I cannot find my niche. I feel like I don't fit.

Our team of psychologists will evaluate your answer and send you a free booklet detailing changes you can make to feel more comfortable with your life and the world around you.

(Shipping and handling are extra. Restocking fees may apply.)

I was a round peg in a round hole, but as I got older I got rounder and now I'm stuck in the ##!&%! hole.
Dannielle S. Feb 18, 2008, 5:02pm EST
I was hoping to triangulate on this.
My problem is mostly that the holes aren't big enough for me.
There are laws about public accomodations, Marilee. Maybe you should contact my lawyers.

Nip, maybe you have it backwards and they're actually too small for you.

Octogonal CC fits in gather hole!
CC Miranda commenting on my thread! I swan! (I think I swan. I know I don't duck. I did that for Marilee's comment.) I love your art, C (May I call you that?)

certainly, i've been called worse.

goose.

This is awfully difficult, but I feel it's closer to A. This is not to say that I'm smooth and round--I think I'm rather angular and full of odd corners, but they definitely don't fit with the corners the world has. In other words, I think most things in the world are takatas and not maloomas.
Charles, I knew you'd have a good answer. I'm going to buy some tools and fix the holes.
I am a tetrahedron. See my pointy head?!

I'm like playdoh - I can be morphed to fit into whatever shaped hole is required.....
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Feb 18, 2008, 5:51pm EST
I'm perfect; it's the rest of the world that is having trouble shaping around me.
Kris M. Feb 18, 2008, 6:02pm EST
I'm one of those spiky, edgy things that can't fit into any neatly assembled slot. But everyone who knows me already knows that...
Ohmigod! Joy, I adore tetrahedra! I even adore tetrahedrons. There is no more efficient three dimensional shape. Four sides, that's all it takes to enclose a space with tetrahedron!
Anikó! You win! Yes the answer is takatas!!!!! I'm a maloooma, though. (Love that distinction.)

I'm a square peg stuck in a tesseract. I keep looking for my other side.
It's the only shape I remember from geometry... again, I was high and somehow quite enamored with literalism at the time. Angle ABC appeared to be an eighth of an inch.

Problem solved.
CC Miranda the artrat (or am i?) Feb 18, 2008, 6:12pm EST
i got a D- in geometry because i thought i could fit into everything, but apparently no one else got that memo.
Oy, a moibus strip. I didn't know you were Jewish, John.

C, There was this pair of pants I thought I could fit into the other day.
John, I've always thought you were a bit one sided. :)
Madame Donna C. Feb 18, 2008, 6:23pm EST
This is a little too loopy for me.
David S. Feb 18, 2008, 6:49pm EST
The world is full of black holes, and I'm being sucked in!
Dannielle S. Feb 18, 2008, 8:16pm EST
I have a point.
My world is filled with smooth edges and angular corners. I just kick the shit out of them until they accomodate me.

I'm not mean. I just don't like rules.
Stephanie B. Feb 18, 2008, 9:39pm EST
I am a scintillate mote of effervescent energy, shedding light on the curves and angles around me. I do not deign to enter holes.
lena lemieux Feb 23, 2008, 5:19pm EST
i feel more like an orb
Jo C. Feb 24, 2008, 5:46pm EST
I don't relate to either of those. I guess I'm neither. What is the other choice?
Raccoon, but very few people choose that.
Ivy, Like this?
