I know this could very easily go in the lounge and disappear but I am genuinely interested as to what type of character you are as a programmer. I''ve been reading a book about the Enneagram type system which to my understanding represents a continuum of psychological types which can develop and interact with other types in particular ways. I''ve identified myself as type 5. There are a number of tests you can take on the internet. A good one (in my opinion) is here and there are a few others here. I''d love to know what everyone comes out as. This is not the same as a horoscope which tells you what you should be based upon the random position of stars. The enneagram allows you to identify yourself with traits and to say "I''m just like that" or "I''m not really like that". I''m sure people could start a discussion about the finer details of horoscopes but if you could do that in your own thread I''d appreciate it. Thanks. Pete

6w5 that seems kinda common here... wooo... (or is that good?)

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."

Somewhat odd, I figured I would be something a little different than the majority considering I''m more into graphic arts than programming, but I can certainly do both.. Oh well

You are most likely a type 5.

Your wings seem to be balanced.

Syntax without semantics is meaningless.

For some reason, all this _w_ is making me think of bra sizes.

In any case, I''m a 5w4 apparently, and it''s pretty accurate sounding to me. 15.4 score here.

Runners up:
Wing 5w6 - 14
Wing 4w5 - 13.8
Wing 6w5 - 11.5
Wing 9w1 - 10.8
Wing 7w6 - 10.3
Wing 9w8 - 10.3
Wing 2w1 - 10.2
