Which Tarot Card Are You?

[tesla]

You are the Hanged Man

Self-sacrifice, Sacrifice, Devotion, Bound.

With the Hanged man there is often a sense of fatalism, waiting for something to happen. Or a fear of
loss from a situation, rather than gain.

The Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes.

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not life or death. It signifies selflessness, sacrifice and prophecy. You make yourself vulnerable and in doing so, gain illumination. You see the world differently, with almost mystical insights.

I had a hard time with this one; I wanted to answer 'all of the above' to several questions. (Especially, 'Do you consider yourself to be...')(I settled on 'energetic and creative,' though I'm really not that energetic.)
I ended by choosing 'Truth' and 'Learning' over other things in the lists of interests and values, but it was really against my true inclinations. I got the same answer (that being, 'The Star') whether I chose 'Living in a Fantasy World' or 'Living in Reality' and that doesn't seem right.

I'm curious about how they assign answer-sets to particular cards. Do you remember what answers you chose?
