Do You Have the Chops To Be A Relevant Part of My Steemit Audience?steemCreated with Sketch.

HUMOR (or is it?)... A "tongue in cheek" reader evaluation self-test, special to Steemit.

I write for Steemit, but only qualified candidates need apply as followers... Those who follow my writing are special; cream of the crop; men and women of impeccable taste.

You are undoubtedly wondering,

What are the essential qualifications to be one of my regular readers?

You Are A Discerning Individual

You are a discerning individual; a little like the Dos Equis Man. Though you think for yourself, you remain open-minded. You are interested in everything.

You're not easily influenced; you hold a steady course where others flip-flop. Nevertheless, you are not too proud to change your mind when the truth smacks you in the face.

Behold, The Universe.

You are prepared to go toe-to-toe in a good, clean argument, more interested in learning than winning. You'll hit "Reply" to make an observation, ask a question, or mention something I may have overlooked. You're not afraid to either say or hear the words "I don't know."

You Are Neither Easily Shocked nor Quickly Offended

It doesn't scare you that I'm forthright about being a Christian. You hold your own beliefs and allow me to do the same. Knowing that I'll return the favor, you won't force your beliefs on me at the point of a gun, but you expect that we'll learn from one another.

You are neither easily shocked nor swiftly offended. You have no problem honestly disagreeing and debating a point. You're ready to call "bullshit" when necessary. Though very curious, you have more lives than a cat.

Grateful To Be Alive

You observe the universe with feelings of awe. You are grateful to be alive and humble enough to admit when you are wrong. You're not afraid of a challenge; regardless of gender, you have balls. Whether whale, dolphin, or minnow, you are one sharp ocean dweller.

You Can Learn From Almost Anyone

You recognize that we have common interests, and you're not afraid to interact. New developments and ideas excite you; your face is towards the future, and it looks intriguing.

Though you believe you can learn from almost anyone, you realize your time limitations, so you choose carefully. I am one of your choices; you have no doubt that what I have to say will be well worth your time.

How Do You Stack Up?

Do you fit many, most, or all of these characteristics? Then, by all means, follow me.


Here's a topical index of most of my work on Steemit so far.

Best hard sell ever ha ha

You're welcome... ;)

To everyone who voted up my article:

That's an excellent first step... but only a first step...

Take a moment and compare the number of up votes to the number of my followers... Can you spot the discrepancy?

Hint: A quick "back of the envelope" calculation, and the inevitable conclusion tells the story; with more votes than followers, not everyone who voted me up has followed me!

Hmmm; that begs the question; Did some of you who up-voted my post disqualify yourselves???? If so, I'd love to hear why... Please let us all know in the comments...

HOWEVER, just in case it was a brief oversight; supposing for a moment that you simply had a brain fart; perhaps you got called away and distracted? Maybe the phone rang?

THE GOOD NEWS is that there is a remedy - You still have the opportunity to follow me... So, why not go ahead? CLICK that follow button; you know you want to... ;)

I don't know. Your beliefs are your business as are mine, enough said :)

@karenb54,

What is it you don't know, dear? Glad to hear you aren't afraid to say it.

I'm in violent agreement about our respective beliefs; but I think it's much more interesting to share them with each other than to keep them hidden.

Yes, enough said for this comment; I appreciate it, and I look forward to you saying more in future comments! Thanks for joining the party, glad to have you aboard! ;)

@creatr there is loads I don't know, Steemit still amazes me and sends me around the bend, humans baffle me. Everyone is entitled to run there life the way they want aslong as it doesn't hurt any one else but seems that care and respect have gone and only selfishness remains. That's my whinge for the day. Thank you for listening :)

Yes, Steemit is pretty cool, fer sure! ;) Your comments are appreciated! :)

hmm, I think I'm really close on this one LOL!!

hmm...I think I'm close on this list :)

You still with us, creatr?
Miss your wit :)

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the shout... Yes, still here; more to come, just been intensely busy for over a week, with another intense week starting now... But I'll be "slipping in" another surf story before I leave for another week...

Good of you to ask! ;)

Why are you describing me? Are you a stalker? ;) I think I might pass your follower test. Should I follow you?

Dear @supergoodliving ,

You caught me out; yes, I have been stalking you; as you can see, I have been following you.

So, you think you might pass my follower test? Bravo! Definitely throw your hat into the ring and follow me, let's see where we go from here!

Challenge accepted! :)

Excellent decision, my friend! I look forward to some interesting dialog; welcome aboard! ;)

Very creative post, good idea and good work. :D
I'll be your newest follower for it

@getonthetrain,

Your encouraging reply is a definite indicator that you're worthy...
Thanks for the smile, the vote of confidence, the follow.

Lots of unusual ideas ahead, fasten your seatbelt! ;)
