A random find

Submitted by Van on Tue, 02/02/2010 - 11:35.

My psych prof was lecturing on personality this morning, so when I got back to my dorm I was sort of in the mood for some of those web personality tests, and, long story short, I found this one, which pretty much tells you what sort of medieval ruler you would be

It was such a random find too, considering I googled MMPI. It was like picking rocks from a river and finding a chunk of gold.

I gather you didn't actually take the quiz? I was looking forward to finding out whether I was Richard the Lion-Hearted or Queen Elizabeth I, but instead it just assigns a generic personality type to you and attempts to make it sound medieval.

Lo, I am a discoverer!

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.

Corporate kingdoms! *dies* I think I would rather hang out with 11th century warlords after all.

Ah, my bad, apparently it's just personality. You see, I took it and got this:

Your distinct personality, The Benevolent Ruler, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. You are the idealistic social dreamer. Your overriding goal is to solve the people problems of your world. You are a social reformer who wants everyone to be happy in a world that you can visualize. You are exceptionally perceptive about the woes and needs of humankind. You often have the understanding and skill to readily conceive and implement the solutions to your perceptions. On the positive side, you are creatively persuasive, charismatic and ideologically concerned. On the negative side, you may be unrealistically sentimental, scattered and impulsive, as well as deviously manipulative. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

And then I ran it again with random answers and got some other type of ruler, so that was just an assumption on my part. My bad!

Let me guess, the other type of ruler was also "just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms!"

OK so I guess I am a Christopher Columbus to your Queen Isabella.

Yep. It seems they all end with that sentence. My guess is that whoever wrote the quiz just kept copy/pasting from the first result they wrote and then switched up the earlier sentences to make it applicable.

Of course:

"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."

Cassie, how do you ever bear the responsibility of PROVIDING THE HOPE FOR ALL HUMANKIND??

I love the idea of a Dreamer-Minstrel though. It sounds like Alred's job title, at least in happier times. Or Vash.

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.

I don't know. I'm not very happy with this part:

Waves hand, I am a Dreamer-Minstrel too. Already kind of thought I'd end up there (went reading through the topic a bit first before turning to the test). I believe it fits me in some ways well the dreamer part surely does. Since I just simply daydream through the day. Well okay not al the time since between floating on dream clouds one also needs to stand on the earth at certain times. Plus that it also says "On the positive side, you are spontaneous, charismatic, ..." Could be yes but I can be so shy and quiet when I'm somewhere in a group with people I don't know. I'm more spontaneous and charismatic among my friends and family.

I'm a discoverer also!

I'm a discoverer also! Sounds like a pretty sweet job apart from the disease and the thirst and the cabin fever and the ocean being a cruel mistress and all...
