Bert You scored 68% Organization, 60% abstract, and 25% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are very organized, both concrete and abstract, and more introverted. Here is why are you Bert. You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Bert is a big neat freak and gets quite annoyed when Ernie makes a big mess. You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Bert is probably a bit more concrete in his bottlecap collecting addiction and his love of the weather. He does show his abstract side when he sings and performs his "Doin' The Pidgeon" song. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. You are both introverted. Bert can be grumpy and doesn't get along well with most other folks. Often he gets frustrated by their ignorance. For whatever reason you are uncomfortable in social settings. You may have one or two people that you are close with. You'd rather do things by yourself and you dislike working in groups where things are always so inefficient. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Big Bird Snuffleupagus Ernie Elmo Kermit the Frog Grover Cookie Monster Guy Smiley The Count If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

OK, maybe some content. I'm still massively anxious about driving the stick shift. I don't try to be. I get in, I drive, some things go well and some things don't. Then something little happens and the next thing I know I'm shaking uncontrollably and close to tears. And if I can't fix it like a normal driver, I'm sobbing. Something's wrong with me.

Yeah. You're human. It's horrible, isn't it?

You just need more practice.
If you dont want to PP then drive aroun till you can find a place that does not require it.
If you need a minute to calm down take it.
I have seen you do it.
You do it best when you are calm.
I found I learned some good habits when I drove alone.
Maybe you should take the car some night and become more familiar with it.

Eh, not horrible. Just... uncomfortable at times. Then again, what isn't. :) I did much better last night, and today. First solo run last night, and today I dropped my husband off at work and got home including stop-and-go driving, expressway, and a rather hilly parking lot to pull out of. No panic today, thank everything. Maybe someday I'll be as good at giving myself pep talks as I was at giving them to my husband when he was getting adapted to the new-to-us car.

I think it was just the combo: the hills, the traffic, the sudden realization that I couldn't necessarily go the way I was planning to, and having to coordinate all four limbs with the engine and its gears all at the same time.

Theres nothing wrong with feeling insecure when you change your driving styles, I have always driven manual cars and the first time I drove an auto I was well in shit, couldnt work out what to do with me feet, kept holding it on kick down so it kept kicking down and changing up over and over again.

Stick with it - you will get used to it :)

I'm sure I'll get more used to it in time. I've gotten better about it enough to drive solo since then. Then again, it doesn't help that my left ankle has seven screws and a plate in one bone, and another screw in the other. :)
