What Sort of Paintbrush Suits YOU?

You probably think it is unlikely that you will have access to a special paintbrush in the next year or so. Maybe it is unlikely, maybe it isn’t, but when (or if!) you DO come across the opportunity to buy a paintbrush, how will you know which type to choose? Take the following quiz to find out exactly what kind of paintbrush suits YOUR personality!

You will need: A writing utensil of some sort (pen, pencil, sharp stick for carving on rocks), something to write on (paper, your hand, an ancient scroll), and a brain (preferably your own). Once you have all these, take the quiz and jot down your answers. You can always go back and redo the test. After all, your answers aren’t written in stone! (Unless you are Tyrannian and have chosen to scratch your answers onto a boulder...)

Here is how it works. It is basically and interview. Me interviewing you! I ask the question, and you choose the response that best suits you out of A, B, C, D, E, or F! Let’s get started. My name is Albert Chiablow. I am a yellow Chia, reporting for the Neopian Times. This is the first report I’ve ever gotten published! Oops! Did I just say that out loud? Okay, pretend you didn’t hear. So what is YOUR name, and where are YOU from? ...Interesting! I always have liked that name! Well, now that formalities have been exchanged... let’s go! (I’ll talk you through the first one.)

So I say...

1. It’s time to build your Dream Home! (Finally!) Which country do you choose to live in?

And you reply with one of the following...

A) On the highest tip of Terror Mountain, where people can look up in awe at my one-of-a-kind abode!

B) On an un-used, uninhabited island, all alone where no one will ever disturb me...

C) In a cute cottage smack in the middle of Neopia Central, where I’ll be close to the stores, the petpet shop and USUKI LAND!!!

D) Deep in the Haunted Woods, in a deserted, creepy castle, or somewhere on the dark side of Kreludor... anywhere scary!

E) I really don’t know... There are so many great places to choose from!

F) I would choose a quiet country cottage near Brightvale, where things are calm, peaceful, and usually the same.

2. Now, if only you could pick the right colour for your room...

A) The brightest colour the store sells! DUH!

B) Sad, dreary grey...

C) Pink, purple, yellow, blue and green... all pastel!

D) Evil black and red. Mua-ha-ha-ha-haaa!

E) Well, orange and blue are both lovely... but I can’t decide on which one to pick!

F) Just a new coat of the colour it was painted before... the colour I love to love!

3. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... But what do you want for a present?

A) Something HUGE! I want ALL the neighbours to come and crane their necks for a glimpse of it... in MY arms!

F) My usual cottage on Roo Island, of course.

5. Fight, fight, fight... in the BATTLEDOME! Which adversary do you choose?

A) That tough Mootix Warrior that none of my friends have beaten yet. This way, I’ll be the first to beat him!

B) Why exert myself in the Battledome? Personally, I find it much too exciting...

C) YUCK! The Battledome is for stupid macho people. Not me!

D) Even Chiazilla will cower at the sight of me.

E) I can’t decide! There are so MANY!

A) I’m hoping the people here are boring... that way, being the exiting person I am, I’ll stand out!

B) Gloom! Sorrow! Grey! The town of my dreams!

C) *Bawling your head off* Why does it have to be so GLOOMY??? Why??

D) I wish it was still cursed. That would make it much more sinister.

B) The complete volume of Boredom, by I. Snore.

D) Captain Guts.

E) Who knows? (No, my character is not named Who Knows, I just haven’t thought of a name yet.)

F) The same name I always use. I do love that name!

14. Okay, so you’ve done the test... what feedback do you give? *waits nervously for answer*

A) I really hope you publish my answers somewhere!

B) *Sigh*... it would be better if it were more boring...

C) It was a very cute little test! But what about some cute pictures to go with it? You know, smiling baby animals and stuff.

E) Some questions were good, some were... not so good.

F) Choose F-a) I though it was all good! or F-b) I thought it was all bad!

All right, now you’ve taken the test. I’ll just need a moment to calculate your final results... Remind me, did you get:

MOSTLY A? If so, you like to Stand Out! You love being the centre of attention! You need a paintbrush that is unlike any other, and will help you be unique. Consider: Royal, Tyrannian, Maraquan, Faerie, Snow, Christmas, Mystery Island, Pirate, Darigan, or Mutant. All of these are special, and will help you stand out in crowd any day!

MOSTLY B? Sigh... there is only one paintbrush for you, my friend, because you are Sorrowful. You like to be bored stiff! The best option for you would be to paint yourself grey!

MOSTLY C? It's clear as can be that you are Sweet and Cute! You love charming, cuddly things, and nice sunny places. You need a paintbrush that suits your interests, or else you will NOT be happy. Try: Baby, Usuki, Plushie, or Faerie. (Sorry that Usuki only works on Usuls).

MOSTLY D? Partner, you are Sinister! You want evil, spookiness, and are probably a Sloth Follower. No offense, but I’ll be staying away from you. Then again, maybe you just have an attraction to mutants or something. I know some very nice people who LOVE mutants! You should try painting yourself: Ghost, Darigan, Halloween, Zombie, Mutant, Shadow, or Invisible. (Invisible is good for sneaking up on people.)

MOSTLY E? You are the one who loves everything, and can never choose between two! You are Split! (Not split personality as in during the day you are perfectly normal, but at night you come out evil. You just love everything you see!) People love you for your constant optimism and your willingness to try everything. To keep you from having to choose between two paintbrushes, you should try: Rainbow, Skunk, Speckled, Strawberry Fields Forever, Split, Checkered, and any other patterned paintbrush.

MOSTLY F? You are a very Solid person. You are calm, cool, and always know what is best for you. You are scarcely ever jumpy or wild! People love that you always know the right thing to do, and that they can always count on you to be there for them. You should consider painting yourself: a solid colour like pink, orange, silver, gold, purple, Jelly, or if you are a Chia, try fruit.

A TIE OF MOSTLY TWO? Have you gotten five As and five Es? Well, read them both, and either see which one suits you best, or expand your choices to the suggestions giving in both categories. Remember, there are plenty of other paintbrushes not listed here. Check out the Rainbow Pool to see them all!

That’s all, folks! Thanks for trying Albert Chiablow’s What Sort of Paintbrush are You? Test!

This is Albert Chiablow speaking! Tootles!
