For those who were asking

If you don't like that test, here is another that contributors have praised:
http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/report/online/

Those two are from the team liquid survey, for meyer briggs, if you really want to go through another bunch of questions. My result back then was ENTP, closely ENFP.

They even made a website with it, and how it correlates to sc2. http://www.sc2persona.com/
Sadly the sample size is only 980 or so

I am type eight : THE BOSSES

[vill]

Type seven: The epicure

sevens have a fear of being deprived, of being in pain. They tend to be lighthearted and sunny, often addicted to planning and play. Sevens are buoyed by a belief that life is unlimited -- there are always interesting things to do.
Possible origins. Faced with a frightening early life, seven children diffused their fear by escaping into the limitless possibilities of imagination. They have pleasant memories of their childhood years. Even with an objectively bad scenario, there is little residue of hatred or blame. The skew of attention is toward positive memory. By moving toward pleasure and away from pain, they tend to remember the best.

Flawed sevens can allow their appetites to get out of control. This is characterized by a bodily hunger for excitement and experience. Sevens have a gourmet taste for experience, little tastes of the very best, rather than an overdose of a single experience meal. Typically they cannot stand inactivity. They stay active, but that activity is not necessarily productive: It has a restless quality about it. They delight in making plans for the future but are not good at following through on them.

As managers, they may introduce fascinating but conflicting options. They don't like to give and enforce direct orders. They try to make everyone feel like an equal participant in order to eliminate the possibility of confrontation.

Well-adapted sevens get over their intense fear of being deprived. Instead of consuming life, they learn to contemplate it, to plumb the depths of experience rather than to merely skim its surface. They overcome their wariness of others sufficiently to form, selectively, close and long-term attachments. They stick with tasks and occupations long enough to do them justice. Their enthusiasm and pleasure they take in what they do is infectious. Sevens are sought after for their enthusiasm and vitality and for their desire to share the enjoyment they feel.

They bring an optimism to their work, and once they get engaged they can get a lot done and take contagious pleasure in their accomplishment. At their best, they are highly productive generalists, talented in a variety of areas. Precocious as children, they grow up to be especially intelligent and multi-talented. They may settle successfully into roles in which they can apply their abundant practical intelligence to executing short-run plans or exploring new territory.

Occupations. The entertainment field is filled with sevens, both well-adapted and flawed. Sevens are often editors, writers, or storytellers. As managers, they are the jacks-of-all-trades, knowledgeable and skilled in a number of areas. Because they learned at a young age to fend for themselves, they are survivors who are good people to have around when an organization is having trouble keeping its head above water. They are planners and synthesizers and idea gatherers.

Finding oneself:

Sevens will probably agree with most of the following statements:
I tend to make things interesting, to make things nice.
There are very few things in life which i can't enjoy.
I usually look on the bright side of things and don't look for the negative side of life.
"i must be defective if i need help."
people say i'm often the life of the party.
I often feel stuck and bored with commitment -- i like to keep my options open.
I tend to be very enthusiastic about the future.
I seem to be attached to youth and energy.
Most of the time i avoid getting into really "heavy" issues.
I find myself expressing anger by making fun of the problem.

Yeah, not sure, a lot of the questions were repeats and stuff but I guess most personality tests are.

And some questions had typos and others had Sometimes I feel X or Y with Yes Sometimes and No as the answer, what does that do to results, just two options for yes I guess.

That's fun but nothing else. One of the main and accurate thing my manager coach taught me is not put people in boxes and even worse if you coerce them is so few category as 9. The more you're able to understand that everyone is different in a whole, even if there are common qualities, the more you are able to understand them.

The fact that there are so many people in that category or this other one is more linked to the bias of the test than in anything else.

Bah! The only true personality test is, when faced with half a dozen Grobi coming down a dark tunnel, which axe do you reach for first?

Double sided, two handed. But it's a trick question, it's the only axe you need.

Type 5: The Observer

Five's are observers: they have an overwhelming need to understand the environment and therefore are curious about everything. They tend to satisfy that curiosity by standing at the periphery rather than by getting centrally involved, or by investing heavily in their own units while sacrificing their relations with the larger organization. They frequently are knowledgeable in numerous areas and seem to enjoy learning purely for the sake of learning. This desire for knowledge may be generated by a need to protect themselves from an environment that they see as unpredictable or capricious. Five's use their knowledge as the raw material for building expertise, models, world views or organizations that serve as a home base for them. Not surprisingly, they are the most intellectually gifted of the types. In addition, they are highly independent-minded and are sensitive to outside forces that might deprive them of their independence.

I guess I agree with it, for the most part, but it doesn't really identify all the different aspects of my personality. I'm a bit of a few things. For this part though it's pretty accurate.

I did 20 questions, clicked next and realise it was going to be multiple pages of 20 questions, I clicked the X button right there after.

So I believe I am type 10: The guy whos too cool for crappy generic personality tests because he actually studied the more proven 5-Factor-Personality model.

I got Type 5:

+ [Type 5] +

Five's are observers: they have an overwhelming need to understand the environment and therefore are curious about everything. They tend to satisfy that curiosity by standing at the periphery rather than by getting centrally involved, or by investing heavily in their own units while sacrificing their relations with the larger organization. They frequently are knowledgeable in numerous areas and seem to enjoy learning purely for the sake of learning. This desire for knowledge may be generated by a need to protect themselves from an environment that they see as unpredictable or capricious. Five's use their knowledge as the raw material for building expertise, models, world views or organizations that serve as a home base for them. Not surprisingly, they are the most intellectually gifted of the types. In addition, they are highly independent-minded and are sensitive to outside forces that might deprive them of their independence.

Possible Origins. Five's felt intruded upon as children--their privacy stolen. Children who feel that they have to escape are going to find ways to distance themselves. One way is to stay in your room and close the door. Another way is to put up a wall of emotional distance by removing yourself from your feelings. Eventually you can learn to stand directly under the gaze of someone who is trying to pry into your life and not feel any reaction to their intrusiveness.

Flawed Five's find emotional involvement a problem. Part of this may be because they are thinkers rather than doers and thus less likely to be in contact with others, and part may be because they find it difficult to deal with the strong feelings that emotional involvement generates. They live with a sense of having limited resources and energy and of being easily exhausted by personal interactions.

As managers they may stand on the sidelines, functioning chiefly as knowledgeable observers, or they may create their own knowledge-based organizational Islands," which they then protect against possible incursion from the outside, especially on the part of powerful authorities. They are likely to supervise from behind closed doors -acting as decision makers who leave follow-through to others. Although they have good or workable relationships with subordinates, Five's often have underdeveloped or poor relationships with superiors and peers.

Well-adapted Five's have overcome their fear of the environment and by trusting it, they are able to put together observations, theories, and patterns in the environment in ways that others cannot They can do this only because they are able to hold in abeyance their need for structure while they formulate and develop new and often valuable ideas.

At their best, Five's as managers learn to relax their vigilant, self-protective posture toward the larger organization They put their considerable knowledge to work in conducting often highly original, even iconoclastic projects The instinct to hunker down serves them well because it leads them to give their all to their undertaking and to ignore or fend off criticism or attacks from the outside They are often the brains behind the scenes that stay cool while others distress.

Occupations. Among Five's we find theorists, inventors and engineers As managers they may gravitate toward staff functions They may also excel as line managers in starting a new and innovative organization, in spite of the doubts of others.

Finding Oneself.
Five's will probably agree with most of the following statements:

I tend to keep my feelings to myself.
I like to know what will happen ahead of time.
I don't know how to engage in small talk very well.
Intellectually I like to synthesize and put together different ideas.
I need much private time and space.
I often sit back and observe other people rather than get involved.
I seem to be more silent than most others People often ask me that I'm thinking.
I have trouble reaching out or asking for what I need.
If an issue comes up, I like to first work it out by myself, then go discuss it with others.
I like to put things in perspective, to step back and take everything in. If I leave anything out, I accuse myself of being so simplistic or naive.

...So it's my ill fate to be sent into the enemy's base, only to spy the enemy and then just waiting until you get the okay to return back home or get killed by the enemy, huh...
