subject: Ringtones Can Interpret Your Personality [print this page] Your ringtone reveals your personality Your ringtone reveals your personality
Cell phone ringtones can be loud, obnoxious and very revealing. If you've never given it a thought, you might want to consider the message you're sending before you let your phone ring at work or in a crowded commuter train. After all, people might get the wrong idea about you!
While some cell phone users just choose one of the default rings that come with the phone, many pay a few bucks or download free ringtones just to have a special song, jingle or sound effect to alert them on their incoming calls. It's a cool way to make a 15-second statement about your individuality and personal taste. And cell phone carriers are all too happy to help you stand out in a crowd, since selling ringtones is a very lucrative side business.
What does your ringtone say about you?
Disco beat. It makes you look as dated as those gold chains and that white suit hanging in the back of your closet.
Vibrate. You are uber-responsible and considerate, concerned above all else that your personal calls not bother anyone. Thank you.
Standard ring. You are showing your age and your inability to master technology. What? You dont know how to change the ringtone? Kidding.
Classic rock song. When it comes to looking old, this isnt much better than the standard ring that comes with the phone. Gogo with that!
Hip-hop or R&B. You are young, cool and enjoy annoying the old folks so you may delay answering your phone just to let that song annoy them a little longer. Too bad for them.
TV theme song. You did not graduate, did you? You are the potato couch of the crowd. You spend most of your time in front of the television, with the popcorn always on your side.
Animal noises. You think you are hilarious. Others think you are bothersome.
Your own voice. You are so conceited and pompous! Just like Narcissus in the old myth, where narcissism, actually, originated.
You change your ringtone--a lot.
You are fickle, capricious and undependable. Either that or you get bored easily.
Well, well, well, are you now thinking to change that ring alert? Better show the public the best personality that you should have. Ring-ring!
