Which obsolete skill am I?

Calliope, Muse of epic poetry
You are 'Latin'. Even among obsolete skills, the tongue of the ancient Romans is a real anachronism. With its profusion of different cases and conjugations, Latin is more than a language; it is a whole different way of thinking about things.

You are very classy, meaning that you value the classics. You value old things, good things which have stood the test of time. You value things which have been proven worthy and valuable, even if no one else these days sees them that way. Your life is touched by a certain 'pietas', or piety; perhaps you are even a Stoic. Nonetheless, you have a certain fascination with the grotesque and the profane. Also, the modern world rejects you like a bad transplant. Your problem is that Latin has been obsolete for a long time.

What obsolete skill are you?

"but they find you unexcitable and depressing"

Well! Now I see it all. Yes yes, it took a nameless quiz and an overly-generic description that is applied to thousands of diferent people and a randomly-applied scoring system to make me see how you people really feel.

Boy, the things you learn.
