It's a funny test. It asked me six questions... just six... and then told me what kind of monster I was. And it was mostly spot on. Apart from the bit about playing well with zombies - I kill those things.
(A sidenote. One of the things I've often struggled with is the consistent assertion that people on the autistic spectrum lack empathy. It's been a major stumbling block for me. I define "empathy" as being like a level of sympathy with other people. So I defined lack of empathy as simply not caring about other people - that's always seemed cold and callous. And I resented the implication that I could be that way. In this context, however, it's more like a lack of understanding and that seems much more accurate. Funny how a breakthrough in comprehension can come via something so trivial as this little personality test.)
You are an alien
You're so strange, people occasionally wonder if you're from another world. You don't try to be different, but you see most things from a very unique, very offbeat perspective. Brilliant to the point of genius, you definitely have some advanced intelligence going on. No matter what circles you travel in, you always feel like a stranger. And it's a feeling you've learned to like.
Your greatest power:
Your superhuman brain.
Your greatest weakness:
Your lack of empathy - you just don't get humans.
You play well with:
Zombies.

A lot of your contributions to the world are left invisible and unfelt.
Your greatest power: Blending in really well
Your greatest weakness: Being too passive
You play well with: Witches
That's creepily accurate, if you'll pardon the pun.
OK... but you never said what kind of monster you were.
