<H3>You Are A Discerning Individual</H3>

You are a discerning individual; a little like the Dos Equis Man. Though you think for yourself, you remain open-minded. You are interested in everything.

You're not easily influenced; you hold a steady course where others flip-flop. Nevertheless, you are not too proud to change your mind when the truth smacks you in the face.

You are prepared to go toe-to-toe in a good, clean argument, more interested in learning than winning. You'll hit "Reply" to make an observation, ask a question, or mention something I may have overlooked. You're not afraid to either say or hear the words *"I don't know."*

<H3>You Are Neither Easily Shocked nor Quickly Offended</H3>

It doesn't scare you that I'm forthright about being a Christian. You hold your own beliefs and allow me to do the same. Knowing that I'll return the favor, you won't force your beliefs on me at the point of a gun, but you expect that we'll learn from one another.

You are neither easily shocked nor swiftly offended. You have no problem honestly disagreeing and debating a point. You're ready to call "bullshit" when necessary. Though very curious, you have more lives than a cat.

<H3>Grateful To Be Alive</H3>

You observe the universe with feelings of awe. You are grateful to be alive and humble enough to admit when you are wrong. You're not afraid of a challenge; regardless of gender, you have *balls*. Whether whale, dolphin, or minnow, you are one sharp ocean dweller.

<H3>You Can Learn From Almost Anyone</H3>

You recognize that we have common interests, and you're not afraid to interact. New developments and ideas excite you; your face is towards the future, and it looks intriguing.

Though you believe you can learn from almost anyone, you realize your time limitations, so you choose carefully. I am one of your choices; you have no doubt that what I have to say will be well worth your time.

<H3>How Do You Stack Up?</H3>
