The Dinosaur Trader Personality Test

Not really, it's an external link to "the Spark" or something like that.

But whatever.

Look, I'm feeling introspective tonight after my staggering market loss. I want to know more about "you people." Also, I'll be surfing early and won't have a morning post up. This will have to do.

So take the test and tell the world what your personality "flaw" is, in the comment section.

It takes about 7 or 8 minutes to take the test. First, you have to sign up for an account... they want your email but you can opt out of getting bothered. The thing is, if you take the test and complete it, you can check at the end to see how compatible you are with other people who took it. So, if you want other people here to know how compatible they are with you, write the email address that you gave to "the Spark" in the comment section along with your test results.

Most of the time, I hate people... let's see if I hate you too.

Just follow along with the first comment... which I will post.

Click here to take the test.

UPDATE: I'm 35% greedy.
UPDATE II: I'll live to age 73.

I'm an EXPERIMENTER.

Compared to 15 million other test takers:

99% are more "submissive" than me.
3% are more "introverted."
5% are more "abstract."
14% are more "thinking."

I had no idea I was so dominant. Don't fuck with me.

93% are more Submissive than me.
95% are more Introverted than me.
55% are more Abstract than me.
84% are more Thinking than me.

I guess I will feel and talk you to death as I dominant you.

I just do not understand why DT in so introverted. I guess he does not like to surf at nude beaches.

Trading Goddess said...

lol! Denarii - "he does not like to surf at nude beaches"!

Dinosaur Trader said...

In my experience only fat nasty old people go to nude beaches.

-DT

Trading Goddess said...

Dino,

Here are some of the tests we took back in January. These are what I was talking about in last night's comments.

As far as that nude beach, I concur. However, everyone is beautiful, no?

Dinosaur Trader said...

To a certain extent, when clothed, everyone is beautiful.

Dinosaur Trader said...

TG,

With your test I was a Type 8.

I'm on my laptop now though, so I couldn't print all that other stuff out.

Dinosaur Trader said...

gstar,

A submissive introvert who thinks a lot... I'm guessing that right now, you're depressed.

I'm a dominant introvert who thinks a lot... so I'm just angry all the time.

-DT

Dinosaur Trader said...

Denarri,

I plugged your email into the spark thing to see how our scores compare. I'm waiting for you to accept my "Spark friendship..."

If we are less than 50% compatible, you're out of the VO.

-DT

Trading Goddess said...

Dino,

I am expecting a fat check in the mail from you for my time wasted, I mean, errrr... spent on this test.

My results in a moment.

Trading Goddess said...

Good grief!

What terrible results!

*sob*

I am off to jump from the nearest bridge.

Dinosaur Trader said...

TG,

Did you check the VO today? No check forthcoming.

Dinosaur Trader said...

TG,

Fess up!

Trading Goddess said...

ummm...

I think I may get sent to jail with this title...

Trading Goddess said...

You are a Prober!
(Dominant Introverted Concrete Feeler)
You are a PROBER (DICF)— curious, passionate, driven, and probing. You're the kind of person who can't leave well enough alone. You have a very strong personality and a sense of adventure. And you'd rather go out and experience things for yourself than take someone else's word for it. Some people probably think you're a maniac.

People have a hard time believing you're an intelligent person. Perhaps there's a reason for this? Time will tell.


98% are more Submissive than you.
1% are more Dominant than you.
2% are just as Dominant as you.
35% are more Introverted than you.
47% are more Extroverted than you.
18% are just as Introverted as you.
55% are more Abstract than you.
24% are more Concrete than you.
20% are just as Concrete as you.
35% are more Thinking than you.
54% are more Feeling than you.
12% are just as Feeling as you.

Trading Goddess said...

What does "Abstract" mean?

Crap... I guess with questions like that, no wonder people have a hard time believing I am an intelligent person.

*sigh*

Let's leave it at "I am a Maniacal Prober"!

I rather like that now... the more I say it ... over and over...

Maniacal Prober

Maniacal Prober

Maniacal Prober

I think I will change my name! Yes! Forget this Trading Goddess crap! No more! I insist you all call me MP! MP! MP!

Dinosaur Trader said...

TG,

See, I had you pegged as a complete Extrovert. The internet can be so confusing!

Thank goodness we have this personality test to clear everything up for us all!

Meanwhile, are all stock bloggers Dominant?

Bedtime for me. If I don't want to drown in the ocean tomorrow, I need some sleep.

-DT

Dinosaur Trader said...

A title like "Maniacal Prober" will get you arrested... though probably not in California.

I'd skip the whole middle part of the country though, just to be safe.

Trading Goddess said...

Dino,

I think that the Internet "lets" people be more extroverted.

Now, go on to bed. Enjoy the surf tomorrow! :)

mOOm said...

Supposedly I'm a "dreamer" Only 3% are more submissive than me (91% more dominant). That is hard to believe. Dreamer is the most common type to take the test.

19% more introverted than me 66% more extroverted
33% more abstract 45% more concrete
46% more thinking 46% more feeling

On the Myers-Briggs test I am closest to ENTP (Extrovert-Intuitive-Thinking-Perceiving). Thinking and feeling though are usually pretty equal in scores for me and on this test to. I'm also near the middle on introvert-extrovert.

Here are the results of my test:

You are a PERFORMER (DEAF)— personable, self-assured, and excellent under pressure. You are extroverted and strong-willed, which, in combination means you are good with people and aren't willing to let opportunity pass you by. Congratulations. I'm sure all the peons you've stepped on never saw it coming and didn't feel a thing.

You have formidable creative talents, and you often following what your heart tells you instead of your logical mind. Your exuberance can earn you many friends and admirers, despite your ambition, or it can intimidate the less confident into keeping their distance. It's also possible that you're Madonna.

93% are more Submissive than you.
53% are more Introverted than you.
15% are more Abstract than you.
35% are more Thinking than you.

I don’t agree with the assessment, not completely anyway. I do not think well under pressure, I am not very creative, and I am not showy.

Maybe I lied to myself on the test? Who am I, really?

UWSvamp said...

What are you, DT, a junior high school girl? I'm a loser, too, because I wasted time taking this stupid test. Here are my misleading stats:

Dreamer (Submissive Introverted Abstract Feeler)

I do enjoy feeling things, though not they way I think they mean it.

43% are more Submissive than you.
1% are more Introverted than you.
5% are more Abstract than you.
35% are more Thinking than you.

WTF? I don't like talking to people at parties because most people suck, but I'm not introverted. I don't talk to cute waiters because I'd rather talk to cute waitresses (the test has a straight bias). Does the Spark have a "Are you a big ole dyke?" test?

Dinosaur Trader said...

uws,

Indeed, I am a high-school girl.

According to "the Spark" I'm 63% high-school girl.

Go figure.

Holy shit! Except for Denarii, the only people reading my site are introverts!

KC, you take the cake though. 0% more introverted than you.

Evidently, I am an Accountant,

reserved, meticulous, and dependable. You aren't exactly the life of the party, but you do have fun, and the people close to you really do love you.
Seriously: accountants are good at whatever they do. They can always be trusted, especially by their friends. They almost never cheat or steal. (Some real-life accountants do, however, they are probably Judges (DICT)). You probably have a wonderful relationship with your family.

TG – that test has a lot of “probing” questions :)
Abstract = Something that concentrates in itself the qualities of something else.
ie: abstract art concentrates on something else, other than what appears on the canvas.

Intriguing...I suppose the test is a fair, but generalized assumption of me.

Dinosaur Trader said...

Well, etrader, your comment seems to fit the description of you that the test came up with... very even.

Congratulations on the nice familial relations, by the way. If you want some money to manage, I'll send you some. Just email.

eTrader,

Maybe KCTrader and I need to hook up for some of that abstract stuff! wooohooo! Getting quite warm thinking of all the probing we could be doing together! mmmmmm! It's not what it looks like, I swear! hehe

Trading Goddess said...

Wormie,

not that there's anything wrong with that...

eTrader said...

TG,
lol, probie! KC & TG, sorta has an abstract ring to it :)

Dinosaur,
neat test, Thanks for the comment on the family thing.
Were you being sarcastic, about sending me some money?

Dinosaur Trader said...

etrader,

Yes, that was an example of me being sarcastic.

However, next time I hire someone to manage my money I will make sure they take this exam.

-DT

eTrader said...

Dinosaur,

lol, I was almost positive that comment was abstract.

...and definitely have them take this test.

Trading Goddess said...

Wormie,

Sorry...

I didn't even get past your first sentence...

mmmmm!

What was it you were saying>
