Kingdomality

I was visiting the HoT participants just now and at The Realm and the Writer's blog I saw a link for a the Kingdomality Medieval Vocational Personality Test. I went to take it and decided to post my results (even though I don't have a job):

Your distinct personality, The Shepherd is to tend to your human flock. You understand the needs of those for whom you are responsible. Shepherds are vigilant and reliable. You realize your obligation and commitment to the well being of those entrusted to your care. Shepherds are very dependable. You engender a feeling of comfort and stability to those within your charge. On the positive side, Shepherds can be empathic, caring, understanding, practical and realistic. On the negative side, you may be manipulative, close-minded and sentimentally rigid. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

Hmmmm. I was a "merchant."

Obviously not a valid test... I'm a terrible salesman.

Yes well, as usual, this is not surprising :)

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.

What a coinkydink!!! You're a shepherd in personality and I WAS a shepherd (kinda sorta) for a few years in real life. SEE! We were MEANT for each other! hehe

It's me again ;-) Did you really think I could go for very long without taking the quiz too? Nope the suspense got to me, and I took the quiz... turns out I'm just a big mushy push-over. Don't believe me? See for yourself -

"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."

Well - they got the negatives right, except I can't make a decision to save my life - what if I chose the wrong one? hehehe

LUV U Skittles!

$$$$!!!!
Your distinct personality, The Merchant, might be found in most of the thriving kingdoms of the time. Your overriding goal is to always be competitive, for Merchants are the deal makers. Every situation is realistically analyzed for its profit potential. A well executed deal, even one that is profitable for all participants, can be its own reward for many Merchants. On the positive side you can be logically practical, rational and realistic. On the negative side you may be rigidly dogmatic as well as unmerciful and precipitous. Interestingly, your preference is just as applicable in today's corporate kingdoms.

um, I agree with curmudgeon. this test was fun but total bologna. it said I am the dreamer, which is somewhat true, but it also said that I am an optimist, which isn't true at all. I'm a bit of a whiner and most often a realist. A whiny realist! HA! I wonder what job that would be?
