Foo - Do you know what type of personality you have?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
While on facebook, I was introduced to PersonalDNA (http://www.personaldna.com/) to assess my personality. I was curious so I tried it out. Check it out and see if its accurate for you.
I was labeled as an "Encouraging Leader". I read the description (http://www.personaldna.com/report.php?k=oinotsUsguriKYX-OP-ADADD-3065) and it was fairly accurate which scared me a little.
I have taken the MeyersBriggs personality test two or three times in my life. Last time at the Naval War College a couple of years ago. I can never remember what four letters I am, all I remember is that that personality type makes up less than 2% of of all Marine Officers,,, guess that is why I dont fit in :)

Imagine a giant bingo hall. Some people have 7,9, 15 cards in front of them. Replace those cards with threads.....Foo.
I got reserved analyst.
I think it's quite true, now I wonder what happens when my other personality kicks in.
I just thought it would have been a little interesting. Oh well. Heh.

No, wait.
I don't even know what INTP means. I just thought Dirtyhip was shuddering because she posted right next to UnsafeUnderwear again, here in a whole different thread.
It is interesting, just haven't played yet.
I am a respectful leader.
Hmm.
Hope I'm respectful, but I'm not so sure about the leader part though.

It's Meyers Briggs personality type, and there was this forumite <shall not mention name> that made me want to :crash: Anyway...
I guess there are a ton of personality tests. My supervisor had me do the Enneagram one at our office retreat. I am a challenger, or so the test reads.

There's this oft-repeated experiment where a group of people are given an astrological reading, and they have to rate how accurately the readings describe their personalities. The readings get rave reviews. The subjects are then told that they were all given the exact same reading.
Same sort of thing with these personality tests. People see themselves in them if they are general enough. I think they're mostly BS.

this is me in a very large nut shell....ie Big Balls
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.....
Deteriorata! Deteriorata!
Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.
Ro-tate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss.....and when!
Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that THREE.........do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer main-te-nance.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Remember the Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mu-ti-late.
Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time
Get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."
Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.
Chorus
You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.
Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.
GIVE UP!
Reprise You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Anyways, I'm an A, with a strong social side as well. So, yeah, an a-hole who you can't easily avoid. :p

Animated Leader here... seems pretty accurate.

The Chief Slacking Officer is an Encouraging Leader?
That's what I got, too, btw...
It says I'm a "generous inventor," but the implication that I have a personality at all is laughable at best.

I got as far as reading it will take 30 minutes. I think that means I have the attention span of a gnat. Which is quite accurate.

Interesting that they restate pretty much exactly what I answered in their questions. Must be magic. :rolleyes:
Considerate Idealist... a reasonable labeling, but all the rest is just regurgitation of what I input.
Respectful creator...I like the map that's just a bunch of colored squares...
The test is wrong.:rolleyes: The questions are too simplistic and generalistic.
BTW, I'm supposed to be an animated creator.:roflmao2: Reading the descripton it doesn't fit me well. So much for following their instructions to go with your instincts.

I waver between INFP, INTP, and ISFP, depending on the length of the test and how I'm feeling that day. *shrug*
Apparantly I'm a reserved creator.
I agree what somebody posted that the results are very much just taking my answers and listing them. Although it's decent entertainment getting some statistics and sentences to make me feel good about myself. Not that I really needed it being in the top 10% of confidence. :p

Generous Realist. I thought the description matched me well and the testing format was very unique. I enjoyed the slider bar concept instead of the typical disagree to agree scale.

I may take the test later, but I have to wonder...
I am currrently in counseling dealing with issues of dependence, and passive aggression along with other issues, which tends to play out by my wanting to do what other people want me to do, but I end up procrastinating, which leads to depression.
I wonder where this is going to put me on a personality test. ;)
It said I am am a generous builder. I think that if I had been in a different mood, I might have answered quite a few of the questions very differently, and I wonder what that would do to the score. Especially the job satisfaction part, as I have a love/hate relationship with my job, might change things a bit.

Benevolent Director. The test seemed pretty accurate. I've taken several of these and the descriptions are usually pretty consistent. My goal is to become a Benevolent Pornographer.

I think that's their way of saying... yeah, you're gonna be an engineer... sorry.
