This week I have decided to participate in another book tag! Was I tagged? Nope, but here I am anyway! (It’s kind of like when you invite yourself over to your friend’s house.) I originally saw this tag over at Molly’s Book Nook and I am inviting anyone who wants to participate to invite yourself too!
There was no clear, definitive answer on this one, so I ended up going with the first “name meanings” result on Google. According to behindthename.com, the name Tracy is “from an English surname which was taken from a Norman French place name meaning ‘domain belonging to THRACIUS’.” (Thracius is “from a Roman name which meant ‘of Thracia’.”) I also found out that the name Tracy was originally more popular as a male name, but was then popularized as feminine by the main character Tracy Lord in the movie The Philadelphia Story. The more you know, eh?
Perhaps not shockingly, my personality type has been tested time and again as INTJ, the “architect” personality type. According to 16personalities.com, “Architects form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population.” Here are some fun facts about INTJ personality types:
- » Often given the title of “bookworm” as children
- » Many fictional villains (and misunderstood heroes) are modeled on this personality type
- » Their sarcasm and dark humor are not for the faint of heart
- » Fictional INTJs you may know are Littlefinger, Gandalf the Grey, and Katniss Everdeen
- » Open to new ideas, supported by logic, even if (and sometimes especially if) they prove previous conceptions wrong
Since I was born in the middle of April, my zodiac sign is Aries. When I looked up my sign to see what traits I would have, some were accurate and some were not quite right. Actually, I’d say this astrology website got more wrong than right. For example, it says I like comfortable clothes, which is accurate. I live in t-shirts, jeans, and flip flops! But it also says I like leadership roles and individual sports, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Nice try though!
This is an easy one – Ravenclaw forever! Members of Ravenclaw are characterized by their wit, learning, and wisdom. Our house colors are blue and bronze, and our symbol is an eagle, even though it was changed to a raven in the films. My favorite Ravenclaw is Luna Lovegood, who I named my dog after! Although Pottermore sorted me correctly, I always recommend the all questions quiz if you have the time!
