I object to the "feminine" bit, by the way. At no point are you asked if you think if women are better. It's all about "Are women real people like men are?"

#3 I got the same overall results you did but maybe a little more towards the left side on some so I'm Iceland. I'm good with it too :)

Energy Saving Road Lighting in Norway Dims To 20% When No Cars Are Nearby

This is great!

- Less carbon emissions;

- Saves money;

- Reduces negative effects of artificial lighting on insects, bats, owls, other birds, turtles, etc;

- Less light pollution getting in the way of astronomy

I suspect that's why they drop it to 20% instead of 0% when nothing shows up on radar.

Another Sweden here. Very close, except that I have a significantly more long-term orientation.

I was Swedish, except substantially more "Short Term Orientation". I think that makes me the Swedish Chef.

3) Don't like tests where you can't read through all the questions first before answering them.

“These defects exist in the lattice of all optical fibers. This is due to the processes of heating and pulling of the glass. As a result of these defects, some part of the light gets sent back toward the transmitter,”

You can also deliberately create arrays of "defects" by laser-etching sections of the fiber with lines a specific distance apart. These will reflect specific wavelengths of light, while passing through other wavelengths. These Bragg arrays let you create sensors at exact locations, instead of hoping you get a defect in an area of interest.
