Your distinct personality, The Doctor might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your emotions and feelings are reality based. You are not misled with half formed ideas nor are you given to radical or high risk experimentation. You follow the tried and true and do not waste time thinking about things that cannot be seen, touched, heard, felt or smelled. On the positive side, you can become an exceptional expert in your particular area of the helping professions. You can deliver and maintain consistent and beneficial service to others. You do not lose sight of the reality of the situation and can usually control your own emotions. On the negative side, your emotions may want to be sensually satisfied which might lead to too much food, drink or other sensual pleasures. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Personality test says I'm fat, gently caress you personality test

Your distinct personality, The Prime Minister might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Inhuman monster, eh? Can't really argue that one. I'm counting down until we have to take something like this. I'd probably prefer it to the bullshit Gallup Q12 we endure every year. Wrath of the Bitch King fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Apr 7, 2015 |

I'm such a sucker for personality tests. They're always about my favorite subject: me! Your distinct personality, The Engineer-Builder might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to stick with the plan and get the job done. "If it ain't broken don't fix it." is your motto. You provide structure and stability to your world. Your procedures are predictable and dependable. Your methods are proven and tested. You offer results not surprises. On the positive side, you are practical, just, realistic, pragmatic and rational. On the negative side, you may be dogmatic, rigid, short-sighted, indecisive and unimaginative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. eh, that's fairly reasonable

Your distinct personality, The Supervillain would not exist for another 500 years or so. You are a strategist who pursues the most efficient and logical path toward the realization of the goal that you perceive or visualize. That goal just happens to be completely evil. You will often only associate with those people who can assist you in the implementation of your plan. Inept assistants may be immediately discarded as excess baggage. To do otherwise could be seen as inefficient and illogical. On the positive side, you can be rationally idealistic and analytically ideological. You can be a bold decision maker and risk taker who can move society ahead by years instead of minutes. On the negative side, you may be unmerciful, impatient, impetuous and impulsive.

Ooh I got a new one: The Merchant Beyond a specific job title, a vocation takes on its own greater personality. This personality preference can give a broader understanding of the basic complementary style and types necessary to the kingdom's survival, and perhaps to any modern organization's success. Although the specific vocations influenced the names, it was no accident that certain personality types and styles gravitated to certain occupations. The personality of these jobs suited the inclinations of the job holders, and the predecessor to modern day job descriptions was born. The successful matching of a job-holder's personality to the personality and unique requirements of the job was necessary for a kingdom to thrive, just as it's necessary to an organization's success today. The most successful groups are able to blend the differences into a powerful and productive entity. Even though people now have the freedom to explore many different career alternative, there is still a medieval vocational personality within everyone. This personality, properly identified and understood, can motivate success, encourage job satisfaction and promote contentment in the workplace. Your distinct personality, The Merchant, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to always be competitive, for Merchants are the deal makers. Every situation is realistically analyzed for its profit potential. A well executed deal, even one that is profitable for all participants, can be its own reward for many Merchants. On the positive side you can be logically practical, rational and realistic. On the negative side you may be rigidly dogmatic as well as unmerciful and precipitous. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms. Edit: gently caress the guy behind me says that this is me all over. The HR people are onto something!

If you're in a conference call, and not talking, and also not muting yourself, you're an rear end in a top hat. Mute yourself, rear end in a top hat. We don't need to hear how deep you can put your headset up your butt.

Dear other tech: Please update your loving tickets. That's the whole point of having them. You assign them to yourself and you update what is going on. THat would have saved me a trip to a classroom for a computer that wasn't there because you already had it. It also pisses me off when you don't close your ticket and they sit there for a week, open, for no apparent reason. Close your tickets.

Upgraded our lovely ERP software. Everything's busted. One thing that's busted the SOAP interface that one of our websites uses is giving some errors. "I recompiled that webservices.php" You re-compiled a php file? You don't compile php. "Well I opened it up and saved it. That fixed the other one"  (it did not fix anything)

There's always at least one turd that doesn't deserve the positive characterization these personality surveys give. It's testing preferences, not motivations. A dictator who wants to save users from themselves and a dictator who's running a cronjob to kill all portable apps on a user's machine every other prime minute is still going to be rated as a dictator, so they have to at least assume that your motivations are pure.

You are an insatiable explorer of people, places, things and ideas. You thrive on constant change and anything new or different. On the positive side, you can be creatively rational as well as open minded and just. On the negative side, you might be an impractical and indecisive procrastinator.

This personality, properly identified and understood, can motivate success, encourage job satisfaction and promote contentment in the workplace. Your distinct personality, The Scientist is to subscribe completely to the scientific method. The data create the conclusion. To think about accumulating new data to prove an hypothesis could almost be considered a gross waste of time as there are so many new conclusions to be derived from the data already available. A more modern scientist in the field of criminology would be Sherlock Holmes. This professional sleuth always draws his conclusions from the available clues. On the positive side, you can be rationally imaginative and realistically perceptive. On the negative side, you can be nearsighted, narrow minded and rigid in your research methods. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

You can always see the "Silver Lining" to every dark and dreary cloud. Look at the bright side is your motto and understanding why everything happens for the best is your goal. You are the positive optimist of the world who provides the hope for all humankind. There is nothing so terrible that you can not find some good within it. On the positive side, you are spontaneous, charismatic, idealistic and empathic. On the negative side, you may be a sentimental dreamer who is emotionally impractical.

I mentioned a manager a few pages back that was a jerk. When the boss decided to fire him the plan was the following. Have him schedule and perform an exchange migration from an old 2k3 server to a new one. But let him do it all himself so it'd be a disaster so they could use it as an excuse to fire him. Then after he was gone I was supposed to go back and redo the migration right. Makes sense right? One of the other engineers was like "this is insane" and just did the migration himself.
