Hail Eeyore the Dreamer-Mistrel. Methinks I mistook the meaning of some of the categories.

I am skeptical of the results of my search. But it is good fun and I wonder if there is a category of serving wench.

Try this test. (for amusement purposes only)

The Dreamer-Minstrel

Your distinct personality, The Dreamer-Minstrel might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. 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. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.



Yup, that's me to a tee! biggrin.gif

"Your distinct personality, The Discoverer, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to go where no one else has ever gone before. Regardless of the number of available natural problems to be solved, it is not unusual for you to continually challenge yourself with new situations or obstacles that you have created. 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. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms."

Your distinct personality, The White Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Don Quixote was a White Knight as was Joan of Arc, the Lone Ranger and Crusader Rabbit. As a White Knight you expect nothing in return for your good deeds. You are one of the true "Givers" of the world. You are the anonymous philanthropist who shares your wealth, your time and your life with others. To give, is its own reward and as a White Knight you seek no other. On the positive side you are merciful, sympathetic, helpful, giving and heroic. On the negative side you may be impulsively decisive, sentimental and misdirected. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

"White Knight"
I love personality tests, though I have doubts (or just one) about this one (spontaneity is not something I recognize in myself tongue.gif ). I do agree with much of the rest of it, though in place on the "impusive" negative I wouls substitute this line for "The Discoverer"

Apparently, I'm manipulative, close-minded and sentimentally rigid crying.gif
I think most who know me would disagree. Otherwise, I'd say the shepherd is pretty accurate. I'd certainly prefer that job to beer wench, or something.

At the end of the description, they all say: Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable to today's corporate kingdoms. Serving wench has to be in there somewhere. tongue.gif

"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, arrogant, impetuous and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms."

I am really starting to feel bad for some of my friends... it's true! I am glad they put up with me though.

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 must be sensually satisfied which could lead to self-abusive behavior with food, drink, other substances and/or sex. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

"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, unimaginative and arrogant. Interestingly," etc.

For me, this was apparently on target. I was studying engineering when I dropped out of college, and 20 years of my working career was as a skilled tradesman.

Platypus, goamerica, and I?? Hmmn... come to think of it, the three of us were morally deficient in the Bush Threat quiz, too. If, goamerica, you end up with Sartre in your number two slot in the Ethical Philosophy quiz, like platypus and I, I'm gonna start worrying...

Your distinct personality, The Black Knight, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to win. You approach each task or situation as a contest to be won strategically and efficiently. Because you can control your feelings, it is not unusual for you to charm, as well as successfully delegate tasks and responsibilities to the more emotional types. You are often concerned with what's in it for you. You seldom involve yourself in activities where you can not foresee a reward for your investment or effort. On the positive side, you can be analytically empathic and logically persuasive. On the negative side, you may be unemotionally manipulative as well as arrogant, selfish and impulsive. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.


Mwah ha ha ha HAH! I always did look good in black smile.gif This reminds me of my favourite T-shirt slogan:
(on front) It's not whether you win or lose

OlympiaManet It turned me out as Prime Minister as well. There was another site like this that chose a random occupation no matter what information you put in. These sites are much easier to build and much more funny because you can say someone was meant to be a juggler because the liked arranging things a in order or a clothes line engineer for your great concentration skills. But I wouldn't mind being a medieval prime minister.

I'm not sure a self-respecting peasant would hang out with a shepard. That seems a solitary life with more understanding from sheep than serfs.

Isn't "self-respecting peasant" an oxymoron?

I doubt you would see people with T-shirts extolling "Peasant and PROUD of it".

AD is a thinking crowd, hence more tendency towards leadership (or at least leadership attitudes).
