Amazon meme
My first Amazon purchase was on December 30, 1998 and I bought a Mana CD and Couplings, by Peter Schneider. I was really surprised to see that book as I have very little memory of it. I think it was for a book club? Also, I was still in college back then! Holy carp!

Awesome!
Your Score: The Dork
You scored 34 anxiety, 57 awkwardness, and 39 neuroticism!

You aren't particularly anxious, and you don't count things--but you do notice sometimes that you don't exactly fit in. Polite people would call you an eccentric, but you truly are The Dork! And proud. Just because you feel a little awkward at parties doesn't mean you're not happy with yourself and fairly relaxed.
Your low anxiety score implies that you are able to relax, can enjoy the here and now, and have a healthy amount of self-confidence.
Your high awkwardness score implies that you are socially inept, probably stick out from the crowd, and perhaps feel uncomfortable in large groups of people, such as at parties.
Your low neuroticism score implies that you don't exhibit subtle neurotic behaviors--your nails are probably an acceptable length, your pencils aren't covered with bite marks, and your bookcase isn't arranged alphabetically by genre. Congrats!
