Title: OT - Personality Test
Post by: Mysterious Benefactor on August 12, 2003, 01:53:11 PM
A friend sent me this link:

http://www.thespark.com/person

Thought some of you might enjoy it too. :)


Here are my results:

ARTIST
(Dominant Introvert Abstract Feeler )

MB,

Like just 4% of the population you are an ARTIST (DIAF)--creative, adventurous, and deep. Although you are an introvert, your dominant ideas lead you to assert yourself often--especially through your work. You actively put your creativity to constructive use, and because you are ruled by your heart you are less likely to be inhibited by logic.

You have an intuitive understanding of emotion and know how evoke it in others, but the real world can be a prison of foolishness and embarrassment if you don't get your head out of the clouds a little more. Also, you are 87% likely to write poetry. Please, for the love of God, stop now.


The last bit about the poetry most definitely doesn't apply [lghy], but the rest is fairly accurate.

My most darling Mysterioso, you may have the brain of a hot shot programmer and the hands of a lover, but I have it on good authority that you have the soul of a poet.

Your admirer,

Gothick

Well, I didn't really write that - I just reworked the real lyrics for There She Is, Miss America. Anybody could do that. ;)


But where are your results, Patti? Like the subtitle says, don't be shy. [wink2]

You're going to make me start to blush.  :-[  :)

(And sssh [sssh] about me having the hands of a lover - you'll start people talking. [wink2])


And like Patti, where are your results?  ^-^

Well, I almost never take these things, but you've goaded me into it.  I didn't answer some of the questions because, frankly, they were idiotic (that whole mouse thing at the end eluded me).  This is what it came up with:

POLITICIAN
(Dominant Extrovert Abstract Thinker)

 Like just 5% of the population you are a POLITICIAN (DEAT)--forceful, outgoing, and forward-looking. You are strong-willed and extroverted, so you enjoy interacting with other people. You aggressively pursue your goals.

Your creative style of thinking allows you to come up with unusual arguments and original ideas that appeal to others, but behind it all is an analytical mind that never forgets the bottom line. While some might see you as manipulative, your close friends know you are a talented person who deserves the best in life.

Whatever. You *are* manipulative. Whether you use your power for "good" or "bad", it's up to you. If you're confused what good or bad means, ask a HEALER. Like EXPERIMENTERS, you have a propensity for cheating.

btw, I think statements that begin with such phrases as "like 5 % of the population" can be described as spin, pure and simple.

There's another word to describe these statements, but it's more appropriate to a barnyard than a civilised forum such as this.

And, OK, so I only shook your hand, but I have very good instincts about these things--trust me, darling.

Gee, ya think? ;) But that's half the fun.

(My favorite question has to be whether you communicate better orally or anally - I about fell off my chair when that came up! [lghy])

Well, I wasn't denying it - only asking that we keep it quiet. [lol3]

Thanks, MB.  Well, the quiz was fun.  I didn't answer the oral/anal question.  It would have been nice if they had had a setting for "versatile."

The little sign under your name is now informing me, in addition to my ISP code and browser status, that "there is no spoon."

I think the ghost of Douglas Adams is haunting you.  Either that, or you're a Zen monk in your spare time these days.

btw--you're not thinking of going to NYC for the big do-do, are you?

*********
DREAMER
(Submissive Introvert Abstract Feeler )

 Like just 11% of the population you are a DREAMER (SIAF)--reserved and imaginative. You are basically the shy, silent type. You don't have much interest in facts and figures or most of what's going on around you, but the internal worlds you build for yourself are rich and complex.

Luckily, your creativity and strong heart mean you have a deep personality evident to anyone who gets to know you. It's just that not many people do, because most everyone thinks you're a loser. Talk to yourself less, other people more, little shaver.

For once, I've gotten a test "score" that  I am not ashamed to reveal, lol.

HELPER WHO FINDS MISSING CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET
(Submissive Introvert Concrete Feeler )

Like just 10% of the population you are a HELPER WHO FINDS MISSING CHILDREN OVER THE INTERNET (SICF). You are very tentative in the world and introverted with people--which means you are the shy and silent type. Hence the Internet. But behind your reserved exterior lies a dedicated person with a passion for the concrete truth who wants to, in his heart of hearts, help find missing children. God bless you.

Oh my...


PERFORMER
(Dominant Extrovert Abstract Feeler )

Midnite   Like just 6% of the population you are a PERFORMER (DEAF)--personable, self-assured, and excellent under pressure. You are extroverted and strong-willed, which, in combination means you are good with people and aren't willing to let opportunity pass you by. Congratulations. I'm sure all the peons you've stepped on never saw it coming and didn't feel a thing.

You like being naked.

Anyhow, you have formidable creative talents, and you often following what your heart tells you instead of your logical mind. Your exuberance can earn you many friends and admirers, despite your ambition, or it can intimidate the less confident into keeping their distance. It's also possible you're Madonna.


Now that's a scary personality.  But seriously, I took it again, changing only a couple of answers, and that time it read as submissive, which is why I'm not crazy about personality tests.

I am a

JUDGE
(Dominant Introvert Concrete Thinker )



 Like just 3% of the population you are a JUDGE (DICT). Your affinity for facts and analytical approach to life help you some complex problems and make tough decisions that others cannot. But don't think you don't act like a bitch a lot of the time. You jump into arguments and hold grudges like crazy. Try jumping into the sack and holding buttocks, instead. You could probably use some love.

While some may see you as a bit overbearing and arrogant, your friends know that you are a trustworthy person with depth and a strong sense of righteousness. Although you are introverted and somewhat reserved, you have a forceful personality that your friends appreciate and your enemies fear. God help them. God help all of us.

Thanks, Eleanor_Rigby....now I don't even have to bother taking the test.

I don't know if your result accurately describes YOU....but it's absolutely ME!

Which I probably shouldn't admit...... ::)

Hi Raineypark,

I thought the test results were fairly accurate except for this:




Try jumping into the sack and holding buttocks, instead. You could probably use some love.
   ;D

which I do already.

A lot of times test results depend on your mood that day although answers to some questions would be the same no matter what.   :)

do you have to be a CA resident to get on the ballot?
Title: Re:OT - Personality Test
Post by: Midnite on August 13, 2003, 05:37:41 AM
do you have to be a CA resident to get on the ballot?

Yes, for at least 2 years, and a US citizen, and at least 25 y.o. (hang in there, ProfStokes!).  Then you need a minimum of 65 signatures from registered voters in your own party and $3500 to file.

I ended up a MENTOR, one of only six percent of the population.  I'm not sure if it's really me or not.  I know that last description is perfect--I have already grown introspective, wondering if my life has meant anything!

Like just 6% of the population you are a MENTOR (SEAT). Some would call you the most powerful and influential of all people. Those people are wrong.

The reality is that you DON'T really WANT to impose personal views or beliefs on others. Yet you are extroverted and intelligent, and you like to get involved. So you help others with the pursuit of knowledge.

You're the reason that people say "teachers are also students." You are as much a learner as a master, and this satisfies you.

You won't die a lonely death, but towards the end you'll grow introspective, wondering if your life meant anything. This will last for decades, and you'll die after your spouse.

Thanks, MB, for the fascinating link.

Love, Robin

Well, here are my results:

MASTERMIND
( Submissive Introverted Abstract Thinker )


 You are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this 'scheming'. Don't learn German.

Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader--you've definitely got the 'vision' thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Montgomery Burns.

I guess I shouldn't be pleased with the Montgomery Burns comparison, but it does explain my habit of tenting my fingers and saying, "Excellent."

Regards,

John

BUSINESSMAN
(Dominant Extrovert Concrete Thinker )


RJ
 Like just 3% of the population you are a BUSINESSMAN (DECT). Hide the children and protect the bunnies, basically. In ancient times you would be a deadly barbarian. These days, you're perfect for Wall Street. You prefer concrete thinking to a more creative style, and your direct modes of thought and action help you succeed in whatever you may try to accomplish.

Your forceful and outgoing personality can make you seem like a hothead, but because your mind ultimately rules your heart you rarely let your emotions get in the way of your goals. By the way, think of Genghis Kahn buying seven million pork bellies on the trading market, and then eating half of them, and you have yourself. Good luck.

Just found out that I'm a Performer. It does fit an Aries personality but some things didn't apply to me and others did. Oh well, it was fun to take and not taken too seriously.
