I immediately see the color cream and imagine your home is furnished in layered shades of that color; somehow, while your daughters are encouraged to play outdoors, their light-colored clothes are always spotless. You have a knack for finding leather-bound first editions at flea markets and yard sales; your girls will nearly require a second vehicle to haul their most cherished volumes away to college, just as you did.

Well, I don't get to do any decorating really, as I'm currently living at my dad's house, but none of the designs I've ever come up with in my head have really involved much cream. I'm of the opinion that children should get dirty on at least a semi-regular basis.
I've only ever been to the flea market once, and that was about a month ago! I was on the hunt for records, actually.
I did nearly require a second vehicle but not because of books, although I suppose I brought a more than some typically do. I was a voracious reader as a child, but by that time, I had been sucked into the world of fanfiction (so I suppose I actually still was very much a reader, just not of novels) from which I am still struggling to pull myself out. Or rather, I'm trying to find balance between fic and books. I really do miss books. It would be awesome if my hypothetical future children read lots of books though!
Anyway, in short (in long?), you were pretty much wrong. :P But it's really cool to hear what other people picture!

You are a whiz at jigsaw puzzles and are very fond of oranges

You live somewhere cold and own several very nice coats. You love medieval European history, and read historical fiction. You would be a good teacher, but actually work in publishing or finance.

I live in Florida. Heh. But I would love to live somewhere cold. I love cooler/cold weather and fall/winter clothing. In fact, despite living in the heat, I DO own two wool blend coats. They're nice, although perhaps not "very nice." I'm reading that as "very fancy" coats.
I'm not a history buff, but my interest was always with the Colonial period of/Revolutionary War in the United States, 1920s US, and WWII (particularly the European theater). I read historical fiction when I was a kid, but I haven't read much since.
I'm glad you think I would make a good teacher--I want to be one someday! I'm definitely NOT in publishing or finance though; I work as an educational paraprofessional, which means instructional support/teacher's aid, in an elementary ESE classroom.

You're clever and articulate, and enjoy reading, especially the classics and things involving magic. Family ties and personalizing traditions are important to you.

Congratulations! You're the most right!
IQ tests prove I'm clever, although there are those more so than I, of course. Then, there's always the difference between natural intellect and knowledge possessed. I feel like so much of what I learned in school has faded, higher math and sciences especially, so while there are some things that I am very knowledgeable about, there are other things that leave me feeling a bit dull. (It's difficult to say you're smart without coming across as arrogant, isn't it?)
I can be articulate at times, but other times, I get tongue-tied and will produce sentences with very few actual words in them. It will be just a garbled mumble of syllables. Haha!
I do enjoy reading, although I will admit to the majority of it being fanfiction these days. I'm trying to start reading more books though. I've read a number of classics, and while I appreciate them, I don't enjoy them as much as more contemporary works. I love the Harry Potter series though, so a point for "things involving magic!"
I'm a huge family person. I come from a fair sized family, and all of my dad's side is local, so we're constantly hanging out at my grandma's or celebrating one thing or another. My grandma is one of the most important people in my life, and I want to name a daughter for her. Her name is Edna Jean. She was named for her father Edward James. Edith Jane comes from the Ed--- J--- pattern, so I guess personalizing traditions matches too!
