Like Calvin, you&#8217;re weird,  a bit insecure, and can be a trouble-maker. But like Hobbes, you&#8217;re down to earth and sensitive. It&#8217;s a risk to say it here, after just a ten question test, but I&#8217;ll bet you&#8217;re smarter than  most. Both Calvin and Hobbes are crafty, clever  characters, and any one made from equal parts of each is a force to be reckoned with. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/is3.okcupid.com\/users\/172\/992\/17399282546091919201\/mt1142000620.gif\"\/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table cellpadding=\"20\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td> <span id=\"comparisonarea\">My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people <i>your age and gender<\/i>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<table cellspacing=\"4\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"middle\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" border=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\" bgcolor=\"#b2cfff\" width=\"149\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/is2.okcupid.com\/graphics\/0.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"free online dating\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/is2.okcupid.com\/graphics\/0.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"free online dating\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"middle\">You scored higher than <b>99%<\/b> on <b>calvin<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"middle\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" border=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#000000\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\" bgcolor=\"#b2cfff\" width=\"149\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/is2.okcupid.com\/graphics\/0.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"free online dating\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/is2.okcupid.com\/graphics\/0.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"free online dating\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"middle\">You scored higher than <b>99%<\/b> on <b>hobbes<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table cellpadding=20>\n<tr>\n<td>Link: <a href='http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\/tests\/take?testid=6155057840809005322'>The Calvin Or Hobbes Test<\/a> written by <a href='http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\/profile?tuid=17399282546091919201'>gwendolynbooks<\/a> on <a href='http:\/\/www.okcupid.com'>OkCupid Free Online Dating<\/a>, home of the <a href='http:\/\/www.okcupid.com\/oktest3'>32-Type Dating Test<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<hr width=70%\/>\nI had no idea that I had Nick Drake&#8217;s album <i>Pink Moon<\/i> in the stereo.
