Lisa, You’re A Politician
This pop-up IQ test disturbed me yesterday while I was researching Transportation Sales Tax measures on the Internet. I checked out the link to the main page and saw this. This personality test is hardly industry-approved so the results hardly have any bearing but sometimes they do hit the mark and so I thought I’d give it a try.
This is what the partial result said:
Lisa, you’re a Politician!
Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Politician, which means you are a Success/Golden. Your primary sub-type is defined by “Success” characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by “Golden” characteristics.
That means you’re forceful, innovative, and popular with the masses. Chances are you aggressively pursue your goals, and you enjoy impressing people. You’ve always been surrounded by friends and loved ones and have a natural sense of showmanship.
How do we know all this? How do we know that you’re perfect for any work that requires personal interaction? How could we have divined that you would never say anything that offends anyone - at least to his or her face?
Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions - questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance - the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Politician.
Alas! I have to purchase the rest of the result but I thought this partial description was telling. Now, I hate politicians so I’m not very excited about the headline. And I enjoy impressing people? Do I, really? In reading the above I thought, OK this describes the young me. I think of late I’ve lost a big chunk of my patience with people. Personal interaction is a must in my line of work but it’s not an exciting aspect, as far as I’m concerned.
I wonder what my friends think about this assessment…
