My Creative Type (Updated) from Adobe Create Quiz
Monday, May 25, 2026I Retook the Sorting Hat Quiz. Now I'm a Ravenpuff.
Friday, April 24, 2026So yes, I'm "owning the bird"!
What might really be happening
(using the biological lens)
Apparently there's also a name for this combination: Ravenpuff
"A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
As a Ravenpuff...
Final thoughts (nothing too deep, I promise)
Maybe nothing really changed.
Maybe this part of me was always there, just quieter before.
Or maybe this is just what happens when you start trusting how you think a little more, and stop second-guessing it.
Either way, I guess I'm a Ravenpuff hybrid now.
And honestly?
It fits.

Discover your creative personality
Take this Creative Types quiz by Adobe Create to discover your creative personality.
There are 8 types of creative personalities according to the quiz, namely The Artist, The Thinker, The Adventurer, The Maker, The Producer, The Dreamer, The Innovator, The Visionary.
The Dreamer
From the banner above, you can see that my creative personality is The Dreamer.
Based on the explanation given by Adobe Create, as a Dreamer, I can connect to emotions and imagination, empathy and sensitivity. It also mentions that my untapped potential is to use dreams to fuel real-world action.
As a Dreamer, I see symbols, metaphors, and hidden meanings as opposed to facts and figures. Apparently I'm deeply emotional and intuitive, with a vivid imagination - the quintessential idealist and romantic. Hmmm... I'm not quite sure if I agree with the part that says I'm a romantic though.
My inner world is always where I feel most at home. Oh yes! I'm happy to roam my mental landscape of thoughts, emotions, and fantasies for hours on end.
Since my greatest gift is my depth of sensitivity and empathy, I can give voice to universal human emotions in a way that touches people on a profound level. Hmmm... but like how?
My greatest challenge is to learn to balance dreaming with disciplined action and this starts with coming back to the present moment. It mentions to let my mind roam free but don't forget to return to the present moment. The way to help me turn dreams into reality is by practicing mindfulness. Oh dear... mindfulness is a practice that I have been avoiding.
Ideal Collaborator: The Innovator
It's recommended that a Dreamer seeks out opportunities to collaborate with an Innovator who will combine my lofty idealism with a focus on pragmatic solutions. The Innovator has a grounding energy that can inspire me to apply imagination to real-world change.
Very interesting indeed!
What about yours?
Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert?
Thursday, October 16, 2014I scored 39 points. So, I'm an Introvert with some Ambivert functions.
Introvert
While not necessarily shy, you prefer to spend a lot of your time alone to recharge your limited energy. Quite simply: people drain you, and you prefer your own inner world of thoughts and passions to the external world of people and events. As such, you tend to have few close friendships, and are very selective when it comes to relationships. You prefer to think before you act, and people describe you as being thoughtful, cautious, quiet, and introspective.
To summarize, these are some of your defining characteristics:
- Private
- Enjoys solitude
- Energized alone
- Has a rich internal world
- Thinks before speaking and acting
- Prefers a few intimate friends
- Doesn't enjoy loud, sociable situations
- Independent
Ambivert
As a fairly equanimous person, you display both introverted and extroverted characteristics. While on some days you like being surrounded by many people, on others you prefer to relax on your own and take some time out. As such, you can easily relate to both extremes on the personality spectrum, and have an easier time delving in and out of the internal and external worlds. This may lead to feelings of confusion as many times you feel like a "walking contradiction", feeling one thing one moment, and another thing the next. Your friendship circle tends to consist of 3, 4, or 5 people.
To summarize, these are some of your defining characteristics:
- Equanimous
- Enjoys socializing, but also being alone at times
- Behavioral decisions usually rely on "how one feels", or the context of the situation
- Usually has a small group of friends
- Flexible
- Changeable
- Ability to appreciate both inner and outer worlds
- Easygoing
Decoding baby's poop

Mama & baby quizzes
Thursday, March 6, 2014Mama quizzes
1. What's Your Mom Personality?
Result: You're an Attachment Mama.
You're up on the latest recommendations from Dr. Sears, and enjoy snuggling with your baby in the family bed. You're a firm believer in baby wearing, and quickly react to your baby's cues so he always feel secure.
2. Which TV Mom Are You?
Result: You're a modern yet sensible mom. You keep up with trends you feel like following, and ignore the rest (platform shoes? don't think so!).
Often, you're the most rational head in the family - including your partner! And when all hell breaks loose, you know exactly how to cut through the nonsense. Still, you're not a killjoy - you encourage your kids to have fun. But they definitely know who's boss.
The Bottom Line: Your parenting style is based on open communication, discipline, and reasoning.
3. What's Your Mothering Style
Result: Your type is: ISFJ - The "Tender Loving Care" Mother.
"I want my children to feel they have an ally, someone who knows them completely. I want to be a haven for them."
Gentle and kind, the ISFJ mother provides her children with generous amounts of tenderness, affection, and the comfort of daily routine. Her aim is to "be there" for her children, physically and emotionally. She is sensitive to their feelings, offering closeness, understanding, and quiet support.
Loyal and devoted, the ISFJ mother has a strong sense of duty and consistently puts her children's needs first. She delights in taking care of the little things that matter to a child, making each one feel loved and special.
To provide her family with security and warmth, the ISFJ mother tends to the practical and domestic, aiming for a smooth-running household and an attractive home. She also observes and conveys the value and importance of family traditions.
Baby quizzes
1. Baby's Personality Quiz
Results: He will be very intelligent. Although he is very bright, his shy nature may keep him from reaching his full potential. He is conservative and reserved. You can anticipate a very organized person. In fact, his need for organization is borderline compulsive. He will be the type of person that can't put things off until tomorrow because it will drive him crazy.
In school, if he is given a group project he will slowly take over the project. He doesn't like things to be done incorrectly and if he can't have it done his way he will get frustrated. He doesn't like to be criticized and he has a bit of a superiority complex. If he is angry with you, you will never know. He keeps things to himself but may be secretly vindictive.
He will most likely go to college. He will pursue a job that makes him feel important. He is a hard worker but he may be slow at getting his job done because of his need to check and recheck his work. He may choose a career in electronics, engineering, accounting, aviation, or pharmacology.
2. What's Your Baby's Personality?
Results: Your baby is: Fickle Frankie.
Today, he wants to be held all day. Tomorrow, he'll cry if you even try to pick him up. What worked yesterday does nothing today; that's the way of the fickle baby. "Sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, always cute" could be his motto. There's nothing wrong with knowing what you want, even if what you want changes by the minute.
The good news is, he'll learn to speak soon enough so he can give you a head's up. The bad news: You're going to fly by the seat of your pants until then. Hang in there, mama!
Decoding baby's cry
Wednesday, February 26, 2014I took this quiz - Cry Decoder: What's your baby trying to tell you? and scored 6 out of 6 points.
1. Your baby's cry is repetitive, loud, and just gets louder. It eventually sounds frantic.
Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm gassy.
b. I'm hungry. (Correct!)
c. I'm ready for a nap.
d. I need some cuddling.
"Your baby's hunger cries are repetitive and don't let up until he gets what he wants – the breast or a bottle. Then they'll stop completely," says Seattle pediatrician Wendy Sue Swanson. "Parents get to know what this cry sounds like pretty quick."
Sometimes babies get so worked up in their cries of hunger that when they begin to nurse or take a bottle, they take in too much air. This can lead to gas and even more crying. As you learn to recognize your baby's "hungry" cry, you can start your feedings before your baby gets too agitated.
Other clues your baby may be giving you: Smacking his lips, rooting (a newborn reflex that causes babies to turn their head toward your hand when you stroke their cheek), and putting his hands to his mouth.
2. Shortly after eating, your baby lets out piercing, intense cries.
Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm ready for my post-meal nap.
b. I'm still hungry.
c. I need to be burped. (Correct!)
d. I need a new diaper.
Loud fussing right after feeding is often tied to tummy pain, which can make your baby miserable until she works it out. Try burping your baby – giving small repeated pats on her back – to bring some relief. Just remember to keep a cloth handy for spit-up. Some parents prefer holding their baby against their chest or shoulder; others prefer sitting their baby upright and cradling their baby's chin with one hand and burping with the other.
Many parents also swear by over-the-counter anti-gas drops for babies. "There isn't much data to support their use, but there's no harm in using them as directed," says Swanson. Still it's a good idea to get your doctor's okay before using anti-gas drops for your baby.
Other clues your baby may be giving you: She's bringing her knees up to her chest. Try helping her eliminate the gas by laying her on her back, holding her feet, and moving her legs in a gentle bicycling motion.
3. Your baby's cry is inconsistent and may alternate between laughter and fussing. Eventually it intensifies.
Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm starting to get hungry.
b. I need to be burped.
c. I need a new diaper.
d. I'm overstimulated. (Correct!)
Your baby is taking in the world around him – the lights, the noise, being passed from person to person. He may enjoy the stimulation, but it can start to be too much to process, which is why he sometimes alternates between laughing and crying. This behavior, followed by intensified crying, can be your baby's way of saying, "I've had enough."
Other clues your baby may be giving you: He turns his head away from stimulating sights and sounds. Many newborns enjoy the security of being swaddled when the world gets overwhelming. If your baby's too old for swaddling or doesn't like it, try retreating to a serene spot and letting your baby calm down for a while.
4. Your baby's crying is fairly soft, and it starts and stops. You may be able to soothe your baby, but eventually the crying builds up to a steady jag.
Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I'm really tired and need to go to sleep. (Correct!)
b. I'm bored. Let's do something else.
c. I'm colicky.
d. I'm having tummy trouble.
Parents often overlook the sleepy cry when it comes at a time they don't expect their baby to be tired. "Some babies have sleepy days," says Swanson. "They may be growing or just extra tired." Even if your baby just had a nap an hour ago, if her cries aren't the piercing kind and she can be comforted for a little while, she may be telling you she's ready for a rest.
Other clues your baby may be giving you: She's rubbing her eyes, crying while her eyes start to close, and yawning.
5. Your baby's cry sounds unusual, different from any of the regular crying you're used to hearing.
Your baby's trying to tell you:
a. I'm starting to teethe.
b. I'm more tired than usual.
c. I don't feel well. (Correct!)
d. I need extra cuddles.
The cry of a sick baby tends to be distinct from one caused by hunger or frustration. If your baby's crying "just doesn't sound right," or if he is inconsolable and has been crying for several hours, trust your instincts and call your baby's doctor.
Other clues your baby may be giving you: He has a fever; he isn't hungry; he's difficult to wake up or put to sleep; he isn't going through his usual amount of diapers; or he just isn't behaving like his usual self.
6. You've tried every trick in the mommy book and you still can't stop your baby's strong, steady cries. And this is nothing new. The crying can happen every day and last for hours.
Your baby is trying to tell you:
a. I have colic. (Correct!)
b. I need more stimulation.
c. I'm hungry.
d. I'm overly tired.
Colic is a term used to describe excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby. If your baby is younger than 5 months old and cries for more than three hours in a row on three or more days a week for at least three weeks, chances are he's colicky. Colic isn't a disease and won't cause your baby any long-term harm, but it's a tough thing for both you and your baby to go through.
Other clues your baby may be giving you: A baby with colic cries inconsolably and excessively, often at the same time of day, frequently in the late afternoon or evening. If your baby has colic, his belly may also look enlarged and he may alternately extend or pull up his legs and pass gas as he cries.
"These cries can be intense for babies as well as parents," says Swanson. "Remember that when you get tired or frustrated from your baby's cries, it's perfectly okay to put your baby down in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes to get a break."
The good news? It doesn't last forever. Colic tends to peak around 6 weeks, then improves significantly between 3 and 4 months. By 5 months, your baby should be past it.
