Here's another online personality test. As with any of these types of things, you can take issue with some of the questions and how they are open to interpretation in different ways but it's still fun to see if it matches with how you see yourself. For instance, I'm kinda surprised at how well-balanced I appear to be. 😉
(from Julie M.)
I'm a Talent!
You're a risk-taker, and you follow your passions. You're determined to take on the world and succeed on your own terms. Whether in the arts, science, engineering, business, or politics, you fearlessly express your own vision of the world. You're not afraid of a fight, and you're not afraid to bet your future on your own abilities. If you find a job boring or stifling, you're already preparing your resume. You believe in doing what you love, and you're not willing to settle for an ordinary life.
Talent: 54%
Lifer: 33%
Mandarin: 44%
Take the Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin quiz.

Interesting. You have a much wider range/difference between your types (meaning that you're clearly in the “Talent” category). I'm a Mandarin – no surprise there – but I was a little surprised at how close my numbers were:
Talent: 41%
Lifer: 44%
Mandarin: 49%
I was just thinking his range wasn't that great :-p (though yes, clearly a Talent).
I'm also a mandarin but my numbers are:
Talent: 46%
Lifer: 38%
Mandarin: 62%
I'm a Mandarin (an orange?).
Talent 46%
Lifer 33%
Mandarin 62%
I think that I might have answered some questions differently if I wasn't at the start of a library career (e.g. questions about how good ya think ya are), or, if I were younger (retirement and money questions loom differently now. Loom. Loom).
I am happy that the bloglines deities decided to support RSS updates for Jason's site again so that I don't have to find the time to change to a new Reader.
Will Pace be a little pumpkin for Hallowe'en?
cheers, heather mc
Apparently, I could almost be Jen???? heather mc
I guess I thought mine were pretty close only because the person I got this from was like 77% Talent so that's the only result I had to compare myself to.
I get “Talent” and “Lifer” but where does “Mandarin” come from? I feel like I'm missing something obvious…
Yeah, exactly. As I said, any test like this is fun but ultimately subjective as to when you take it – from the macro of where you are in your life to the micro of your mood for the day.
As for Pumpkin Pace, we cheaped out and didn't buy him a costume. We were in the US a week before Halloween and thought costumes might be discounted already but they weren't and neither of us could justify spending $20+ on an outfit. Then we were too lazy to make him one. We are *seriously* bad parents.
(Oh, Shea corrected me. “I bought him a $2 bib that says “My First Halloween”. When worn with an orange jumper, there is some sort of a 'costume' effect happening.”)
