You scored as <b>Cultural Creative</b>. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious.

Hey, 

I'm [[Dublin]]-based. Since joining Wikipedia in November 2003 I have written on a broad range of topics, including Irish government and politics, religion, globalisation, folklore, republicanism, constitutions, governmental systems, state ceremonial to god knows what else. 
[[Image:Wikistress3D 1 v3.jpg|left|150px]]
By the way, some people have asked about my usernic. ''Fear Éireann'' means ''Man of Ireland'' in [[Irish language|Irish]]. (''Caint'' by the way is the Irish for ''talk'') The colours used in my sig are two of those of the Irish flag, green (for Irish nationalism) and orange (for Irish unionism). The Irish tricolour, green, white and orange symbolises peace and reconciliation between unionism and nationalism.

Though I change it regularly you'll see my usernic on talk pages in the form [[User:Jtdirl|<span style="background-color: orange"><span style="color:#006666"><b>Fear<i>ÉIREANN</i></b></span></span>]][[Image:Map of Ireland's capitals.png|15px]]\<sup>[[user_talk:Jtdirl|<span style="color:blue">(caint)</span>]]</sup>

Some of the things I have written about are listed below. 

A number of articles I have written have become [[Wikipedia:Featured articles]]. One example was [[Papal Tiara]].
