Not to be a turd in the punch bowl, but as a skeptic, I question the scientific objectivity of a test like this.

First off, I think it's human nature to answer towards how you'd LIKE to think of yourself, rather than what you really are.  And when dealing with your job, you probably answer with the best decision, ideally, for said career, but not necessarily a decision you would actually make. 

For example (this wasn't on the test, but it just illustrates a general point), if a question were to ask if you're a leader or a follower, I bet you'd have a lot more people say that they were leaders than actually are.  A follower has a negative connotation, and I bet it's hard to recognize in yourself.

Perhaps this test would be more effective, if others that knew you took it on your behalf, without bias.

Stop being a turd.

This quiz didn't have any questions that I noticed that implied negativity.  I think its pretty damn accurate.

Thats why I stopped about half-way through.  I just imagined it would be another one of those "IQ" tests that tell you what you want to hear, then try to get you to buy a more "in depth" test for like 40 bucks.  Its funny how people really do think their IQ's top the 130's based on the internet... ::)

Not to be a turd or anything....

^^  Yeah, this isn't telling you the kind of person you are, it's telling you the kind of person that you THINK you are.

And you most likely chose a career that you thought best fit the kind of person you are.  Or conversely, that the job you chose has brought those features of yours to the forefront.

Not that this test isn't somewhat impressive.  It's able to kinda guess what you do by asking some questions....that's kinda neat.

So...according to this test, Buddha and I are the exact same personality.

I've worked with Buddha, and while I admire her quite a bit, and think she is smokin' hot, we are FAR from the same personality type. ;)

Yeah...I didn't really think that the personality thing fit me. I'm really NONE of the things that it says I am. I am hot, though!
